Questions for Fred:
1. Dr. Fred Alan Wolf may we begin our conversation by getting some information about your academic background and some insight on why you chose those subjects of interest in terms of what you wanted to do as career? When did the landscape of your life's purpose come into view while you were perusing an education and career? Did you intend to make a global impact?
2. You know, it is said, the more you learn, the more there is to know. This seems to happen, because our panoramic view on the subject in front of us expands both in terms of how we use information to get things done or how we use information to understand our world. How did your view on the subject of physics change as you learned and researched more? Can you share with us a little about the kinds of research you have done?
3. Please share with us some of the researchers you admire who in that past made contributions to the field of physics and science. When did we actually start using the term quantum with physics in the first place and what does that mean exactly from a practical and philosophical stand point?
4. A lot of people are making reference to quantum physics as a way to better understand what consciousness is. What are your views on the correlation between quantum physics and consciousness?
5. Education is so very important to you and this is obvious, because when sharing information you show each reader, audience member, or student that we are unique and should feel free to view the world from our own perspective and you accomplish of all these objectives in your published works. Why do you feel subject of physics is the perfect focus to accomplish all of this?
6. Lots of people feel they understand the fundamental idea behind physics and quantum physics, you are great at making these ideas accessible to everyone regardless to one having had entry-level physics in high school or college. I like the fact that you suggest that we assess our practical and scientific understanding so that it compliments what we learn as continue research and discover more How would you describe physics and quantum physics to a contemporary audience in terms of how relates to every day life?
7. A big topic historically and ever more so today is deriving and using energy that is affordable, environmentally kind, and abundant. In what direction are physics and quantum physics research taking us, and are we really seeing and understanding the limitless possibilities each offer or are we stuck in a rut researching using linear methods?
8. The children are our future, and in fact, earth belongs to them, as we adults are stewards of this planet. What kind of impression do you want to make on children with those publishing geared to target the younger audience? What kinds of feedback do you get indicating that you've hit the mark?
9. I love your time travel themes, Dr. Wolf. Why did you choose time travel as a way to activate the imagination, opening the mental door to accept information as inspirational, incredible but true? You use the phrase, "Do It Yourself," quite a bit. Why?
10. You are also very careful to encourage an open mind, when speaking of great and limitless possibilities when pondering physics and as a path to create a healthy life. You do this without taking away the individual's choice to believe what he or she is comfortable accepting at the time. Is this the way physics is taught on a collegiate or graduate level?
11. The packaging of your published work is pristine and sounds true is a wonderful company to work with. How did you team up with sounds true, and who helps you with creating package with visuals that inspire?
12. In what areas do you feel we need to apply physics in our world today in the most progressive manner? Is there any research going on in the world right now that has your sincere interest? What is it?
13. What are you working on these days? Are you giving talks and lectures? I recently spoke with William Tiller and he shed light on an experience. Can you share with us a little about your experience in What the Bleep, and how you got involved? You have a blog community. Is that an important focus for you now? Why? You are busy man and the world understands why, so, what is the best way for people to keep in touch with you as a community member?
14. Do you feel you are fulfilling your great life's work? How do you know?
15. Dr. Wolf could you be so kind as to share with the audience a bit of wisdom, some measure that was useful in helping you find your path and stay on your path benefiting the world?

quantum physics is endlessly fascinating…
Yes, it is. Fred Alan emailed me just this morning to participate in the Visionary Series. Based on his schedule we shall have finished this interview in mid-April, so stay tuned!
…ah…more adventures in flatland…I can hardly wait…
My sentiments exactly!
