Hümmler has been active in the German skeptics' group GWUP since 1990s.Шаблон:R He was a regional spokesman and convenor for the Frankfurt area.Шаблон:R He first became interested in skepticism after reading about the European Skeptics Congress.Шаблон:R For several years he was an editor of The Skeptiker magazine.Шаблон:R He now investigates pseudoscience claims mostly from the areas of pseudo-physics, business esoterics, conspiracy theories,Шаблон:R supernatural claims in martial arts,Шаблон:R alleged UFO encounters,Шаблон:R weather effects,Шаблон:R biological influence of radiation,Шаблон:R misuse of physics terminology in pseudoscience, especially in Quantum Theory and Theory of Relativity,Шаблон:R debunking free energy theoriesШаблон:R and quantum healingШаблон:R.

Hümmler appears in media as a GWUP expert commenting on conspiracy theories, such as chemtrails.Шаблон:R In 2008 he investigated the abilities of Shaolin monks on the Galileo Mystery TV show.Шаблон:R

In a German Physik Journal, an official journal of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, which is the world's largest organization of physicists, Hümmler wrote an article calling physicists to take a stand against the esoteric abuse of science.Шаблон:R

His first book, Relativer Quantenquark, was published in April 2017. It deals with pseudo-physical claims in esoterics and alternative medicine, but it also explains the basics of quantum mechanics and relativity.Шаблон:R As of July 2017, Hümmler is working on a new book.Шаблон:R

Hümmler is an author of the science blog quantenquark.com.Шаблон:R He was a speaker at the 17th European Skeptics Congress in Wrocław, Poland, where he presented a speech titled Relative Quantum Nonsense: Don't be Fooled by False Physics.Шаблон:R
