John Archibald Wheeler

'''John Archibald Wheeler''' (born 1911) is an American theoretical physicist. One of the later collaborators of Albert Einstein, he tried to achieve Einstein's project of a unified field theory. In the 1960s, he formulated the so-called geometrodynamics, a program of physical (and ontological) reduction of every physical phenomenon such as gravitation and electromagnetism to the geometrical properties of a (curved) space-time. Aiming at a systematical identification of matter with space, geometrodynamics has often been said to be a systematic prolongation of the philosophy of nature as conceived by Descartes and Spinoza. Wheeler's geometrodynamics, however, failed to explain some important physical phenomena, such as the existence of fermions or that of gravitational singularities. Wheeler himself therefore abandoned this theory in the early 1970s. He continued his career as a physicist, making some very important contributions to theoretical physics. Later on, for example, he coined the term black hole and the "it from bit". His students included Richard Feynman and Kip Thorne.
