João Magueijo

Bio

João Magueijo is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Abdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London. He is best known for pioneering varying-speed-of-light theories and similar alternatives to the standard cosmological model. More recently, he has wandered into the murkier waters of quantum gravity. He has authored over 200 scientific papers, two popular science books (Faster than the Speed of Light and A Brilliant Darkness), a spoof travelogue (Bifes Mal Passados) and a novel (Olifaque). He remains suspicious of anything described as “mainstream.”
