Robert and David de Hilster are a father and son scientific team that started working together back in 1974 when they built a pipe organ together for David’s 8th grade science project out of an old vacuum cleaner, clothespins, fishing line, and bicycle tire innertubes. They then went onto building a time-lapse photography machine in 1975.
In 2006, the two started collaborating on on a model for gravity for son David’s documentary “Einstein Wrong“. After several insights in 2015, the two started work on hacking the universe with the Four Universal Motions in Physics.
Robert de Hilster
Robert de Hilster is a retired electrical engineer who worked over 40 years in the telecommunications industry as a researcher and designer of digital switching systems. In 2002, he retired and in 2006, he lead a team of scientists to construct an experiment to discover if gravity was a particle called the graviton. The endeavor was captured in the feature-length documentary film “Einstein Wrong- The Miracle Year“. After the experiment, Robert continued his work on Gravity writing his first book “Gravity is Not Free”.
In May of 2015, he proposed a particle model for light which is a possible solution to the famous “wave / particle duality” and later that year, son David suggested they write a book together on a proposed particle model. For a number of years after that, Robert recorded his ideas on his YouTube Channel “The Particle Guru” where he posted his latest thoughts and hacks using the particle model.
Today, he is working on electrical engineering experiments inspired by the 4UMs in physics.
David de Hilste
David de Hilster is a scientist, artist, professor, and musician who entered the world of critical thinking via his mentor, Argentinean physicist Dr. Ricardo Carezani who found fundamental flaws in Einstein’s special theory of relativity. In 2005, David started filming his documentary “Einstein Wrong – The Miracle Year“, asking his father for assistance with a Carezani experiment. Both David and his father continued to work on scientific papers in the area of physics, cosmology, and expansion tectonics via the Natural Philosophy Alliance and later, the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. In the latter half of 2015, after putting together many concepts David collected over the years, David suggested he and his dad write a book on the Particle Model. Since then, David started his YouTube channel “Dissident Science” where he makes scientific commentary on physics, cosmology, and the science media.
David de Hilster is a computer scientist in the area of artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP). David holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Linguistics, both from Ohio State University and has been working in industry as a computer scientist for four decades in the areas of artificial intelligence, online gaming, and supercomputers.
David is renowned for his pioneering work in natural language processing, having co-authored the computer language NLP++ and the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) VisualText. He has given lectures at universities and mentored students from around the world on intelligent programming using NLP++. David is also involved in developing the first university courses on rule-based NLP using NLP++ and is founder and director of the Natural Language Understanding Global Initiative whose objectives is the transfer of human knowledge to computers using NLP++.
David is also an accomplished artist, filmmaker, and theoretical physics aficionado. His artworks have been sponsored by the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art Rental gallery and are bought by private collectors. He is also president of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society where he has work for decades with some of the greatest minds outside mainstream physics. He is finishing a second book on a physical model of the universe with his father entitled “The Four Universal Motions in Physics”. David has also produced and directed the feature-length documentary “Einstein Wrong – The Miracle Year,” which explores the problems with Einstein theory of relativity.
David is currently semi-retired and is part of the Adjunct Faculty at Northeastern University in the area of computer science.
