George Jaroszkiewicz

George Jaroszkiewicz was born in Cardiiff, South Wales in 1950. He went to Edinburgh University in 1968 to become an astrophysicist but was influenced by the mathematical physicist Nicholas Kemmer to change to Mathematical Physics, graduating in that discipline in 1972. He went on to complete a doctorate in high energy particle physics (the quark-parton model) at Cambridge (Jesus College) in 1976. He then spent the next forty years in various universities, mostly in the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham, England.His books reflect his thoughts on the interpretation of time and quantum mechanics. His guiding principle is that time and quantum processes are as much about the observer as they are about the systems being observed. A common theme running throughout his books is the contextual nature of empirical truths and the imperative to avoid metaphysical (that is, empirically vacuous) concepts in science.
