Research profiles on individual scientists, mathematicians, and thinkers
Brian Keating
American cosmologist and Chancellors Distinguished Professor at UC San Diego, known for pioneering work on cosmic microwave background observations.
Chris Langan: CTMU
Technical analysis of Chris Langan's Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe, a metaphysical framework identifying reality with a self-configuring self-processing language.
Dean Radin
Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the most prolific experimental researcher in parapsychology, with 170+ peer-reviewed articles on psi phenomena.
Doron Zeilberger
Rutgers mathematician who revolutionized combinatorics through the Wilf-Zeilberger method, automating hypergeometric identity proofs and earning the 1998 Steele Prize.
Doron Zeilberger — Deep Research
Preeminent Israeli-American mathematician who transformed combinatorics and computer-assisted proof theory; comprehensive deep research report with full citations.
Doron Zeilberger's Finite Everything
Analysis of Doron Zeilberger's ultrafinitist philosophy: the universe is fundamentally discrete and finite, and continuous mathematics is a convenient fiction.
François Chollet
Creator of the Keras deep learning framework and the ARC benchmark, former Google Brain researcher who co-founded Ndea to pursue AGI through program synthesis.
Jan Camenisch
Cryptographer and Fellow of ACM, IEEE, and IACR whose work on anonymous credentials now runs in billions of devices through Direct Anonymous Attestation.
Jens Groth
Cryptographer and creator of the Groth16 protocol, the de facto standard for succinct zero-knowledge proofs securing billions in cryptocurrency transactions daily.
Jerrold Marsden
Mathematical physicist (1942-2010) who transformed classical mechanics through Marsden-Weinstein reduction theory and variational integrators, foundational in geometric mechanics.
Michael Levin
Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology at Tufts University who demonstrated that bioelectric signals serve as instructive blueprints guiding development and regeneration.
Michael Levin — Deep Research
Distinguished developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts who proposes bioelectric networks drive morphogenesis, and co-creator of Xenobots; comprehensive deep research report.
Molei Tao
Georgia Tech mathematics professor bridging geometric numerical integration with machine learning theory, with contributions to symplectic integrators and diffusion model foundations.
Norman Wildberger
Australian mathematician who reformulated trigonometry and Euclidean geometry on purely algebraic foundations via Rational Trigonometry, replacing distance and angle with polynomial quantities.
Norman Wildberger — Deep Research
Canadian-Australian mathematician and creator of Rational Trigonometry who rejects completed infinities in mathematics; comprehensive deep research report with full citations.
Norman Wildberger's Early Career
Survey of Norman Wildberger's contributions to representation theory, harmonic analysis, and algebraic combinatorics in the 1980s-2000s, before his finitist turn.
Norman Wildberger's Mathematical Journey
Account of Norman Wildberger's research trajectory from Lie theory and representation theory to the development of his Rational Trigonometry framework.
Pierre-Marie Robitaille
MRI pioneer who built the world's first 8 Tesla human scanner, then pivoted to challenge foundational astrophysics — claiming the CMB originates from Earth's oceans and the Sun is liquid metal.
Randell Mills
Founder of Brilliant Light Power who claims hydrogen can transition below its quantum ground state, releasing energy — a theory dismissed by mainstream physics but backed by 34 years of research and $150M in investment.
Robert Millikan
Account of Robert Millikan's oil drop experiment — the Nobel Prize-winning measurement of the electron's charge — and the controversy over his data selection practices.
Roger Nelson
Experimental psychologist and Princeton researcher who founded the Global Consciousness Project to detect correlations between mass human attention and physical random processes.
Roger Penrose
2020 Nobel Prize in Physics laureate who proved black hole formation is a robust prediction of general relativity, with contributions to twistor theory and aperiodic tilings.
Roman Yampolskiy
Associate Professor at the University of Louisville who argues through formal proofs that superintelligent AI control is fundamentally impossible.
Rupert Sheldrake
Cambridge-trained biologist who proposed morphic resonance — a contested theory of non-local memory in nature — and has written 9 books challenging scientific materialism.
Rupert Sheldrake — Deep Research
British biologist whose career spans elite academic achievement and the controversial morphic resonance theory; comprehensive deep research report with full citations.
Stephen Hawking
Theoretical physicist (1942-2018) whose singularity theorems, black hole thermodynamics, and Hawking radiation established the foundations of modern quantum gravity.
Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science
Critical analysis of Stephen Wolfram's 2002 book arguing that simple computational rules underlie natural complexity, and its scientific reception two decades on.
William Tiller
Stanford materials scientist and department chair who dedicated his later career to investigating how human intention might influence physical matter.
