About the Author:

Alexander Berezin is Professor (Emeritus) of Engineering Physics at McMaster University with over 40 years of teaching and research experience. Ph. D. in Theoretical Physics (Quantum Mechanics) from Leningrad (Saint Petersburg) University in Russia (USSR). Prof. Berezin joined the faculty at McMaster in 1980 and retired in 2010, after exactly 30 years of teaching career in physics and engineering. He was/is active in many areas of physics (solid state physics, fiber-optics, quantum theory, etc) and also in several other disciplines (biophysics, sociology, philosophy, . architecture, etc). He published many articles for the general public in the news media and also gave a number of technical and popular lectures for a variety of audiences in many countries.
