Dr. Rudy Schild is the Executive Director of FREE: Foundation For Research Into Extraterrestrial Encounters. He's an Emeritus research astronomer at the Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, following an extensive career studying dark matter, black holes, and the fluid mechanical origins of cosmic structure. Because of his long association with Dr. John Mack, he has become interested in the formulation of a coherent understanding of the nature of space-time in the Universe, and is a champion of the Edgar Mitchell quantum hologram formulation of the nature of existence and reality. As editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cosmology, he has attempted to broaden the scope of scientific inquiry to include the nature of consciousness and the Universe of Universes.
