Israel Sadovnik, also known as Israel Sadovnik Socratus or Israel Sadovnik Socolar (born 1944), is an independent researcher and writer on the philosophy of science who publishes under the pseudonym Socratus. Based in Kiryat Gat, Israel, he has written numerous essays and articles on the physical vacuum, the quantum of light, the nature of the electron, special relativity and the relationship between physics and philosophy.
Biography
Sadovnik was born in 1944. He lives in Kiryat Gat, Israel, and describes his work as lying at the intersection of science and philosophy. Since the mid-2000s he has circulated his ideas primarily through self-published essays, online physics forums and his personal website, which he titles Religion and Physics. He is not affiliated with an academic institution, and his writings represent an independent, philosophical approach to physics rather than mainstream academic research.
Work
Sadovnik's central theme is what he calls "the Theory of the Quantum of Light," which he regards as the key to understanding the structure of matter and the cosmos. Much of his writing concerns the physical vacuum, which he treats as a fundamental reference frame underlying quantum theory and relativity, and the question of the true nature of the electron. His essays draw together topics in special relativity, energy conservation, particle physics, cosmology and star formation, and frequently connect these physical questions to broader philosophical and metaphysical themes such as the origin of consciousness, the meaning of infinity and the concept of "nothing." He summarizes his outlook with the maxim that "all secrets are hidden in the Theory of the Quantum of Light."
