Our Approach
Research at The Florida Institute of Theoretical Physics, LLC is conducted by contributors having academic and theoretical experience in gravitation, general relativity, cosmology, and/or astronomy. We are able to focus on research benefiting the physics community as a whole and not just that required to advance individual careers. The Institute provides the time, freedom, and interactive atmosphere that is beneficial, if not necessary for solving extremely complex problems.
Efforts are guided by the permanent team members below.
