Dr John Hartnett
John received both his B.Sc. (hons) and his Ph.D. with distinction from the Department
of Physics at the University of Western Australia (UWA). He is currently a Research
Professor with the Frequency Standards and Metrology (the science of measurement)
research group at UWA. John’s work involves the European Space Agency’s
atomic clock ensemble in space. His research interests include the development of
ultra-stable cryogenically cooled microwave oscillators based on a sapphire crystal,
ultra low-noise radar, tests of fundamental theories of physics such as Special
and General Relativity and measurement of drift in fundamental constants and their
cosmological implications. John has a keen interest in cosmology and how it applies
to the creationist world-view. He is developing new theories in physics that have
established that there is no need to assume the existence of dark matter in the
universe. He has shown that observations are consistent with our galaxy is cosmologically
somewhere near the center of the visible universe. He has published more than 180
papers in scientific journals and holds 2 patents.
John is an effective communicator on the relevance of creation and the Bible and
has developed cosmological models to explain the creation of ’the heavens’
during creation week. These models also seek to explain the question of how we can
see distant starlight from sources that are millions of light-years away, in a young
universe, which the Bible infers is only 6,000 years old. He has co-authored the
book
Dismantling the Big Bang that reveals the scientific and philosophical
weaknesses at the core of big-bang thinking. It shows that the cosmological evidence
points to a biblical view of history. John’s most recent book, Starlight, Time and the New Physics, is a bold new
answer to the distant starlight issue.
John speaks part-time for Creation Ministries International, and has contributed
to the Journal of Creation (formerly TJ).
