Gerald Schroeder

Gerald L. Schroeder, scientist, author, and noted lecturer, has attained a reputation of focusing on a perceived inherent relationship between science and spirituality. His authored works include "Genesis and the Big Bang", "The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom", and "The Hidden Face of God: Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth".

In 1965, Schroeder received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in nuclear physics and earth and planetary sciences. After emigrating to Israel in 1971, he was employed as a researcher at the Weitzman Institute, the Volcani Research Institute, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His personal faith belongs to that of Orthodox Judaism, and his works frequently cite ancient Talmudic commentaries on Biblical creation accounts, such as commentaries written by the Jewish philosopher Nachmanides. Among other things, Schroeder attempts to reconcile the oft-implied Biblical account of a young earth with the scientific observation our world is billions of years old with the commonly accepted phenomenon that the perceived flow of time for a given event in an expanding universe varies with the observer’s perspective of that event. He attempts to describe the spatial perspectives numerically, with calculations faithful to the effect of the stretching of space: Einstein's General Relativity Theory.
