* Marcelo Gleiser - The Dawn of a Mindful Universe and other works (8 books, 130 papers)

MARCELO GLEISER (b. 1959) is a Brazilian theoretical physicist specializing in cosmology and high energy physics, complexity theory, and astrobiology. He is currently Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth College and was the 2019 recipient of the Templeton Prize.

His current research interests include the physics of the early Universe, the emergence of complex structures in nature, and questions related to the origin of life on Earth and elsewhere in the Universe. He has contributed seminal ideas in the interface between particle physics and cosmology, in particular on the dynamics of phase transitions and spontaneous symmetry breaking. He is the co-discoverer of "oscillons," time-dependent long-lived field configurations which are present in many physical systems from cosmology to vibrating grains.

Gleiser's popular science books, which have been translated into 17 languages, explore the complex relationship between science, philosophy, and religion as complementary pathways for humankind's search for meaning. In his most recent work, THE DAWN OF A MINDFUL UNIVERSE (2023), Gleiser argues that we are using the wrong paradigm to relate to the universe and our position in it. The book is an urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity — the foundations of science — to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change.
