Dr. Horst Eckardt
Founding Member, First Validator
Dr. Horst Eckardt, PhD, was born in Lower Saxony, Germany. He studied physics at the Technical University of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, where he received his master's degree and his doctorate in theoretical solid-state physics, with a thesis on calculating the optical properties of metals by numerical methods. In 1985 he joined Siemens AG in Munich, working in research and development on computer architectures and later on hardware and software applications.
Privately, he studied the foundations of alternative energy production. In 2004 he recognised the importance of the Einstein-Cartan-Evans (ECE) theory developed by the Welsh physicist and chemist Myron Evans. From 2005, he introduced computer algebra into its development, greatly accelerating it and securing the mathematical correctness of its results, and he co-authored most of the 450 scientific papers Myron Evans produced until 2019. He has since extended the theory to answer fundamental questions of natural philosophy.
Dr. Eckardt is Director of the AIAS Institute (Alpha Institute for Advanced Studies) and President of UPITEC (Unified Physics Institute of Technology). A leading scholar in unified physics based on ECE theory, he applies its results to technology, in particular to alternative methods of energy production.
