	Ken Wharton
		Ken Wharton was born in April 1916 and first competed at the age of 19, at Donington Park, in an Austin.
		Ken fitted a highly tuned BSA vertical twin engine to one of these Austin chassis with split axle front suspension and a light body, which when running correctly, was one of the fastest of the early 500s.
		Wharton was thrown from the car and died from his injuries.

	Review: Ken Wharton's Divine Intervention, reviewed by Lori Ann White
		Wharton has created a plausible science-based religion called Symmology, predicated on a new interpretation of quantum mechanics -- that the universe is truly time-symmetric.
		Wharton does ponder the question of free will, given that God has seen our future, and even comes up with a compelling reason why such a God would find it in His best interests to help us out.
		Wharton was obviously having a lot of fun with Divine Intervention and he's been kind enough to invite us along for the ride.

	Emerald City - #78
		Ken Wharton is a local boy — a professor of physics at San José State University.
		Ken gives much of that one away right at the beginning, which is a bit of a shame, but it is an interesting idea.
		Ken spends a considerable amount of time explaining the theoretical basis of Symmology, much of which I didn’t feel confident to follow without reading a few science textbooks (or at least popular science books such as The Arrow of Time by Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield).

		Wharton's scrupulous adherance to the real laws of physics as we currently understand them make this a very realistic and believable story.
		Meanwhile, writers like Ken Wharton, working all alone, can come up with a fast, action-filled, provocative book like this one, and do it for probably less than a $10,000 advance.
		But Wharton has some genuinely fresh ideas, they're clearly written, and he's got a sizzling story to boot.

	Ken Wharton (bluejack SF author profiles) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Ken Wharton is a professor of physics at San Jose State University, but while his science fiction is good and hard, he never sacrifices his story for it.
		With regard to the science, Wharton's primary work was in lasers, but in his papers and his fiction his is most interested in ramifications of the Transactional Interpretation of quantum physics, along with questions of time asymmetry at the quantum level and the possibility of quanta that move backwards through time (from our perspective).
		Regardless, they make for great science fiction, and Wharton is as happy imagining the evolution of religion as he is the future of science, and general history.

	Topic Attic : Teaching Science with SF
		I agree with what Ken was trying to say, but he just hit a terminology peeve of mine-"scientific method" is only one specific way of testing theories, but the process of science is much larger and more complex, also including anecdotal evidence, demonstrations of inventions, and inspiration.
		Ken, I agree with your "it depends on the specific example." From my point of view, though, probably most SF is no good for teaching science directly, if for no other reason than a story so solidly expository in its science would probably be unreadably slow.
		Ken, your comment about hard SF and real science got me thinking about my own relationship between science, science fiction and a sense of wonder.

		Wharton has a fine ear for dialogue that compensates for his tendency to draw his characters in such broad strokes.

		Professor Wharton's book is clothed in cutting-edge science, and looks very much like the hardest of hard science fiction to the casual reader.
		It has lots of "neat ideas" of the type beloved of the wiring-diagram school of speculative fiction: a plausible laser-catalyzed starship drive (no surprise given Wharton's research in optics), a jerry-rigged spaceship built in secret, an alien intelligence, and many other goodies.
		The concluding metaphorical finger that the colonists give to the later arrivals completes an interesting counterpoint that bears comparison with Ken Wharton's Divine Intervention.
