Eric Weinstein
Eric Weinstein is an American mathematician, economist, and physicist known for his work on various fields including string theory, quantum gravity, and geometric unity. He was born on September 8, 1965, in Los Angeles, California.
Weinstein received his Ph.D. in mathematical physics from Harvard University in 1992, where he studied under Andrew Strominger and cumulatively worked on string theory and quantum gravity. He is also a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied economics and mathematics.
Weinstein’s employment background includes working as a consultant for the World Bank, working at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and serving as a managing director at the investment firm Thiel Capital. He is currently a managing director at Thiel Capital and the founder of the online publication, The Portal, which covers a variety of topics including science, technology, and culture.
In terms of his relationship to UAP and UFOs, Weinstein has publicly expressed his interest in the topic and has engaged in discussions about it on his podcast, The Portal. In a recent episode, he interviewed Commander David Fravor, a retired US Navy pilot who encountered a UAP in 2004, to discuss the incident and the implications for our understanding of physics and technology.
Facts about Eric Weinstein include:
- He co-founded the Fields Medal Symposium, which is a conference that brings together leading mathematicians to discuss current topics in mathematics.
- Weinstein has been a vocal critic of mainstream economics and has advocated for alternative economic theories, including a focus on innovation and technological progress.
- He has written and contributed to numerous academic papers, including a 1996 paper on heterotic string theory and a 2006 paper on Lagrangian fibrations and exotic torsion.
Physicist and author Lawrence Krauss stating that Weinstein is “one of the most creative minds in physics today.” In terms of UAP and UFOs, Weinstein’s discussions on his podcast with individuals such as Commander Fravor have generated interest and speculation about the potential implications of these phenomena.
He is the subject of a recent book titled “Eric Weinstein: Why I Am Not a Conservative,” which is a collection of essays about Weinstein’s perspectives on politics, economics, and culture.
Eric Weinstein is a prominent mathematician and physicist who has made significant contributions to his field. While he has not made UAP or UFOs a primary focus of his work, he has expressed his interest in the topic and has engaged in discussions about it on his podcast, The Portal.
