Holm Gero Hümmler (born September 22, 1970) is a German nuclear physicist and skeptic, living in Bad Homburg, near Frankfurt am Main.
Hümmler was born in Hanau. He studied physics [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] and meteorology [1] [2] [5] [6] at Goethe University Frankfurt, together with economy at University of Hagen. [1] [2] [5] He was active in politics while at university. [7] While working on his diploma thesis he spent several months at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. [1] [2] [4] [6] He completed his PhD at Technical University of Munich in 2000. [4] He also worked at Max Planck Society, physics department. [1] [2] [4] [6] Hümmler describes his field of physics as being between nuclear physics and particle physics. [7]
He participated in the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York. [1] [4] [6] He left science in 2001 and first worked for Boston Consulting Group. [2] In 2007 he founded Uncertainty Managers Consulting. The company specializes in numerical models for business planning, mainly for the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare sector. [3]
He lives and works in Bad Homburg, [8] near Frankfurt am Main.
Hümmler has been active in the German skeptics' group GWUP since 1990s. [1] He was a regional spokesman and convenor for the Frankfurt area. [3] He first became interested in skepticism after reading about the European Skeptics Congress. [7] For several years he was an editor of The Skeptiker magazine. [9] He now investigates pseudoscience claims mostly from the areas of pseudo-physics, business esoterics, conspiracy theories, [2] [3] supernatural claims in martial arts, [2] [3] [6] [9] alleged UFO encounters, [5] [6] [9] weather effects, [5] [9] biological influence of radiation, [5] misuse of physics terminology in pseudoscience, especially in Quantum Theory and Theory of Relativity, [9] debunking free energy theories [9] and quantum healing [3].
Hümmler appears in media as a GWUP expert commenting on conspiracy theories, such as chemtrails. [3] In 2008 he investigated the abilities of Shaolin monks on the Galileo Mystery TV show. [3]
In a German Physik Journal, an official journal of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, which is the world's largest organization of physicists, Hümmler wrote an article calling physicists to take a stand against the esoteric abuse of science. [10]
His first book, Relativer Quantenquark, was published in April 2017. It deals with pseudo-physical claims in esoterics and alternative medicine, but it also explains the basics of quantum mechanics and relativity. [11] [12] As of July 2017, Hümmler is working on a new book. [7]
Hümmler is an author of the science blog quantenquark.com. [3] He was a speaker at the 17th European Skeptics Congress in Wrocław, Poland, where he presented a speech titled Relative Quantum Nonsense: Don't be Fooled by False Physics. [3]
