Goswami - God is not dead: what quantum physics tells us about our origins and how we should live

About the Author

Amit Goswami is a theoretical nuclear physicist. Goswami received his PhD in physics from the University of Calcutta in 1964 and moved to the United States early in his career. He taught physics for 32 years as a member of The University of Oregon Institute for Theoretical Physics. Starting at age 38, his research interests shifted to quantum cosmology, quantum measurement theory, and applications of quantum mechanics to the mind-body problem. These days he is probably best known as one of the interviewed scientists featured in the 2004 film What the Bleep Do We Know!? He is also featured in the recent documentary Dalai Lama Renaissance and is the subject of the 2009 documentary The Quantum Activist.

Fully retired as a faculty member since 2003, Dr. Goswami now speaks nationally and internationally. He is also a member of the advisory board of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, where he was a senior scholar in residence from 1998 to 2000.

Dr. Goswami is the author of How Quantum Activism Can Save Civilization, Physics of the Soul, and The Quantum Doctor.
