'He has also shown how the materials and techniques developed for technologies can be used for investigating the nature of reality in the context of quantum theory.'[edit]

Amy reference for this? Could anyone provide a little explanatory detail?

'Investigating the nature of reality in the context of quantum theory' is the sort of thing that gets written about fringe 'scientists'. Is this an description of Professor Briggs's recent work that he would agree with?

'In the context of' is vague and clumsy. Could anyone who knows this area rewrite this part of the sentence?

I do not think the "multiple issues" objections are justified.[edit]

A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (April 2018) >> There is no evidence that this is the case. The article is almost entirely factual, and most of the facts are available in the public sources cited such as Who’s Who and the University of Oxford web site.

The neutrality of this article is disputed. (April 2018) >> The article does not present value judgements, and nothing in it indicates any bias. It mainly contains publicly available facts.

This article is an autobiography or has been extensively edited by the subject or by someone connected to the subject. (April 2018) >> There is no indication that the article has been extensively edited by the subject or by someone connected to the subject. There is no evidence that it is autobiographical, since the facts are publicly available, and could readily be ascertained by anyone wishing to write an entry about this person.

The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for academics. (April 2018) >> The subject holds a statutory chair at one of the best universities in the world. He is sufficiently notable to merit an entry in Who’s Who. He is an honorary fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society and a member of Academia Europaea. According to Google Scholar he has over 22,500 citations of his works, with an h-index of 72. These are all significant marks of academic achievements and esteem.
