Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Fred Alan Wolf (born December 3, 1934) is an American theoretical physicist specializing in quantum physics and the relationship between physics and consciousness. He is a former physics professor at San Diego State University, and has helped to popularize science on the Discovery Channel. He is the author of a number of physics-themed books including Taking the Quantum Leap (1981), The Dreaming Universe (1994), Mind into Matter (2000), and Time Loops and Space Twists (2011).[1]

Wolf was a member in the 1970s, with Jack Sarfatti and others, of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's Fundamental Fysiks Group founded in May 1975 by Elizabeth Rauscher and George Weissmann.[2] His theories about the interrelation of consciousness and quantum physics were described by Newsweek in 2007 as "on the fringes of mainstream science."[3]

Biography

Born into a Jewish family,[4] Wolf's interest in physics began as a child when he viewed a newsreel depicting the world's first atomic explosion. Wolf received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from UCLA in 1963 and began researching the field of high atmospheric particle behavior following a nuclear explosion.[5] He has appeared as the resident physicist on the Discovery Channel's The Know Zone, was a participant in the PBS series Closer to Truth,[6] and has appeared on radio talk shows and television shows across the United States and abroad.[5] He also appeared in the films What the Bleep Do We Know!? (2004),[7] The Secret (2006) and Spirit Space (2008).[8] He has lectured on subjects related to quantum physics and consciousness since the 1960s, often under the name Dr. Quantum or Captain Quantum.[9] He is also featured in the documentary about the Dalai Lama, titled Dalai Lama Renaissance.[10]

His book Taking the Quantum Leap: The New Physics for Nonscientists won a 1982 U.S. National Book Award in Science.[11][lower-alpha 1]

He has taught at San Diego State University, the University of Paris, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of London, University of Paris at Orsay and Birkbeck College, London.[12]
