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 books about physics, including ''Taking the Quantum Leap'' (1981), ''The Dreaming Universe'' (1994), ''Mind into Matter'' (2000), and ''Time Loops and Space Twists'' (2011).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Australian Broadcasting Corporation biographical sketch )〕 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.〔Kaiser, David.

''How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival''. W. W. Norton & Co Inc., 2011.〕 His theories about the interrelation of consciousness and quantum physics were described by ''Newsweek'' in 2007 as "on the fringes of mainstream science."〔("No New Thinking in Rhonda Byrne's Publishing Phenom 'The Secret'" ), ''Newsweek'', February 25, 2007.〕 ==Biography== 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to the Parallel Universes of Dr. Fred Alan Wolf AKA Dr. Quantum )〕 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'',〔(Dr. Fred Alan Wolf ), participant in Closer to Truth〕 and has appeared on radio talk shows and television shows across the United States and abroad.〔 He also appeared in the films ''What the Bleep Do We Know!?'' (2004), ''The Secret'' (2006) and Spirit Space (2008). He has lectured on subjects related to quantum physics and consciousness since the 1960s, often under the name Dr. Quantum or Captain Quantum.〔http://www.whatthebleep.com/reviews/fred-wolf-june-05.shtml〕 He is also featured in the documentary about the Dalai Lama, titled ''Dalai Lama Renaissance''. His book ''Taking the Quantum Leap: The New Physics for Nonscientists'' won a 1982 U.S. National Book Award in Science.〔 ("National Book Awards – 1982" ). National Book Foundation. Retrieved 2012-03-07.〕〔This was the 1982 award for paperback Science. From 1980 to 1983 in National Book Awards history there were dual hardcover and paperback awards in most categories, and multiple nonfiction subcategories. Most of the paperback award-winners were reprints of books eligible for previous awards; this one was original.〕 He has taught at San Diego State University, the University of Paris, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of London, and Birkbeck College, London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred Alan Wolf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
