A biography of John Archibald Wheeler, a theoretical physicist who was known for his drive to address big, overarching questions in physics, such as the laws of nature, the origin of matter, information and the universe. He was a driving force in the development of the atomic and hydrogen bombs and the father of modern general relativity. He worked at Princeton from 1938 to 1976 and mentored many prominent physicists, including Richard Feynman.
John Archibald Wheeler was an American theoretical physicist who revived the interest in general relativity and unified field theory. He worked with Einstein on nuclear fission and coined the terms "black hole" and "wormhole". He was a professor at Princeton University and influenced many students, such as Kip Thorne and Richard Feynman.
John Archibald Wheeler, a legend in physics who coined the term “black hole” and whose numerous scientific contributions figure in many of the research advances of the 20th century, has died at age 96. He was a young contemporary of Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, a driving force in the development of both the atomic and hydrogen bombs, and the father of modern general relativity.
