Abstract
He received his PhD in physics from Harvard University and has collaborated with several highly respected physicists. He has published papers on elementary particle theory in Physical Review Letters and other well-known journals, and several of those papers have been widely cited according to the Institute for Scientific Information in Philadelphia. But John Hagelin is best known, to those inside the scientific community as well as outside it, as the presidential candidate of the Natural Law Party in this year's US elections.
