Founders and contributors

Tuomo Suntola

“Considerations of the philosophy of science and the foundations of physics have been a source of inspiration throughout my career, both in technological developments and in the search of a holistic view of physical reality.”

Tuomo's areas of interest

Ari Lehto

“The mechanism that indicates a high degree of order in nature is not a part of the prevailing theories but it could give a major contribution to our understanding of the physical reality and the origin of the invariant properties and structures of matter.”

Aris's areas of interest

Heikki Sipilä

“Empirical verification of theories is incorruptible; nature is not built on epicycles or correction parameters.”

Heikki's areas of interest

Tarja Kallio-Tamminen

“I am attracted by the clarity and coverage of the Dynamic Universe theory and the increased order and unity it – together with the Period Doubling Mechanism – brings to our picture of reality. Ultimately the theories call for a balanced harmony between the material and mental aspects of life.”

Tarja's areas of interest

Avril Styrman

“I am attracted by the Dynamic Universe due to its unificatory power and its compatibility with absolute simultaneity and presentism.”

Avril's areas of interest

Petri Lievonen

“I prefer simplicity in complexity, and complexity in simplicity. Collaboration and deep reflection are fundamental for progress in science.”

Petri's areas of interest

Marja-Liisa Kakkuri-Knuuttila

“Drawing from my work in the history of philosophy and the philosophy of the social sciences, I’m interested in the methodological and metaphysical foundations of Tuomo Suntola’s Dynamic Universe theory.”

Marja-Liisa's areas of interest

Members and collaborators

Physics Foundations Society was founded by four Finnish scientists – Dr. Tuomo Suntola, Prof. Ari Lehto, Dr. Heikki Sipilä, and Dr. Tarja Kallio-Tamminen – as Universe Club in 1998 and a registered association in 2008. The founders cover a wide range of innovative academic and industrial experience from the philosophy of science to nuclear physics, materials sciences, and spacecraft instrumentation. The association provides its members with resources to preserve and display their work.
