F. DAVID PEAT, PhD, was a quantum physicist, writer, and teacher who founded the Pari Center in 2000. He wrote more than 20 books which have been translated into 24 languages on everything from Superstrings to Native American science and Chaos Theory to Jungian synchronicities, as well as numerous essays and articles. In1971-72, he spent a sabbatical year with Roger Penrose and David Bohm, and thereafter his research focused on the foundations of quantum theory and on a non-unitary approach to the quantum measurement problem. Peat continued an active collaboration with Bohm and in 1987 they co-authored the book Science, Order and Creativity. Following Bohm’s death, Peat wrote the biography Infinite Potential: The Life and Times of David Bohm. He was also instrumental in bringing the Infinite Potential documentary to fruition, which was based on his biography of Bohm. While living in Canada, Peat organized discussion circles between Western scientists and Native American Elders, and while living in London organized a conference between artists and scientists. He has written extensively on the subjects of science, the arts and spirituality. He was adjunct professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, a Fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science, and a Distinguished Fellow at the University of South Africa. David Peat died in Pari, Italy, in 2017 and is buroied in the village cemetery.
