Ronald P. Gruber

Ronald P. Gruber is an adjunct clinical professor at Stanford University. An interdisciplinary scientist in the fields of medicine, cognitive science, and physics, he has produced more than one hundred articles in peer-reviewed journals, a surgical textbook, and several new operations. Time is his current focus. He constructed the first virtual reality, backward time travel machine to help resolve the dilemma regarding Einstein’s view that time is a “stubborn illusion.” He is co-creator of the Dualistic Mind Theory, suggesting that the brain contains two systems of temporal experiences, one congruent with modern physics and another composed of corresponding illusions for better environmental adaptation.
