John Hagelin
John Hagelin is a physicist who has been a candidate for U.S. President three times.
He is a follower of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and he was chosen by the United States Natural Law Party, which was inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, as a Presidental candidate.
In the 2000 Presidental election, Hagelin was also nominated by a dissident
faction of the United States Reform Party which was opposed to the
nomination of Pat Buchanan. After a messy fight with the proponents of
Buchanan, the United States Federal Election Commission ruled that Buchanan
was the official candidate of the Reform Party and hence eligible for federal
election fuinds.
Hagelin received a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College and a Masters of Arts
and Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University, and was a researcher at
CERN (the European Center for Particle Physics) and SLAC (the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center).
He is currently Professor of Physics and Director of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy at Maharishi University of Management, and Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace.
Hagelin has published a number of peer-reviewed papers in particle physics dealing with supersymmetry and
grand unification theory.
The motivation behind his research is to demonstrate that there are deep
connections between particle physics and the Transcendental Meditation program and the teachings of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, which are not generally accepted by the physics community.
However, it is generally acknowledged that the means by which he
is attempting to demonstrate this connection are within the norms of the
scientific method and that he has a competent background in particle physics, and as a result Hagelin's work within particle physics is
well respected in the physics community.
Hagelin is responsible for a number of posters which illustrate his ideas
on unifying physics and Transcendental Meditation. These beautifully illustrated posters are regarded
as unique collector items by particle physicists and mathematicians in that
they are full of mathematical equations which have correct "grammar" interposed
with Transcendental Meditation.
