Martin Rees (PhD)

Dr. Martin Rees, a cosmologist and astrophysicist, authored 500 research papers in cosmology and has made noteworthy contributions to our understanding of the universe, including the origin of cosmic microwave background radiation, galaxy cluster formation, and the distribution of quasars. His research was instrumental in the final refutations of the "steady state theory". Dr. Rees is a Christian who shared the following note on religion and science: "Let me say that I don't see any conflict between science and religion. I go to church as many other scientists do. I share with most religious people a sense of mystery and wonder at the universe and I want to participate in religious ritual and practices because they're something that all humans can share."
