  John Archibald Wheeler Summary
John Archibald Wheeler was born in Jacksonville, Florida and received his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 1933.
Wheeler was one of the pioneers of the theory of nuclear fission (with Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi), and participated in the development of the U.S. atomic bomb under the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos during World War II.
Wheeler is truly an almost metaphysical thinker as he ponders the concept that the very laws of physics may be evolving analogous to the fashion of natural selection and evolution in biology.

 John Templeton Foundation
Wheeler is known for his speculative imagination and willingness to go far outside the box in the quest for ultimate explanations.
It was thus fitting that Wheeler was celebrated in a major conference sponsored by the Foundation in Princeton in March 2002.
Wheeler was most interested in how such processes might create “something from nothing” but the same question arises at higher levels.
