Eventually the URLs for universeclock.com and universeclock.org will also come alive.
Introduction. Phil goes right back to the earliest days on the web. His Wikipedia entry describes his range of work very well. Probably his Twitter account is the best way to reach him. He’s also on Substack now. His old website doesn’t see much action these days (since 2006).

Dear Phil:
There is a reference to you on the busiest page on our website. I thought, “I had better check out those links to Phil just to be sure none have died.” The one to your article in Slate was still active — The Universe Is 13.82 Billion Years Old.
You might find our little model of the universe to be of some interest, if not just amusing. With the JWST upsetting the applecart, most people will go after the Standard Model. Our model starts with dimensionless constants and natural units so gives the big bang a second look.
I wish you well in. Boulder, Colorado. Let it snow… no, no , no.
