Michał Heller

Philosophy of Science

Michal Kazimierz Heller is a Polish philosopher, theoretical physicist, cosmologist, theologian and Catholic priest. He received the 2008 Templeton Prize for extensive philosophical and scientific probing of big questions, seeking to reconcile the known scientific world with the unknowable dimensions of God. His research addresses gravitational singularities in general relativity and applies noncommutative geometry toward unifying general relativity with quantum mechanics, and he has authored nearly 200 scientific papers and more than 50 books spanning physics, cosmology, philosophy of science, history of science and theology.
