Education : 1980 - 1987 Technical University Delft, chemical engineering (MSc in August 1987)
1987 - 1989 First (unsuccessful) attempt at writing novels
1989 - 1991 Environmental researcher at universities in Rotterdam and Amsterdam
1991 - 2001 Full time work on novels (which brought me to philosophy and cosmology)
2001 - 2010 Full time work on philosophy, physics, cosmology and astronomy
2010 - 2012 Full time work on my novel The psychological revolution
2012 - 2014 Full time work on physics and cosmology
2014 - 2025 Full time work on my novel The night of four times 21
On December 21 2025 my third novel De nacht van vier keer 21 (in Engslish: The night
of four times 21) was published, i.e. put on this website.
You can download its text and
cover for free.
On September 30 2016 my cookbook De voedselrevolutie (in English: The
food revolution) was published.
You can download its text and
cover for free.
(If you only eat plants: take algae oil supplements next to vitamin B12 and vitamin D supplements.)
On January 3 2014 my second non-fiction book De deeltjestheorie (in
English: The particle theory) was published by publisher Free Musketeers.
The book gives better physics and cosmology than the physics and cosmology of The third scientific
revolution (see below).
Free Musketeers went bankrupt, so you can't buy the book anymore.
You can download its text and
cover (proof versions) for free.
On May 21 2013 I presented the philosophy in my book The third scientific revolution (see below) to members of the student philosophyclub FC Sophia in Nijmegen.
On April 6 2012 my second novel De psychologische revolutie (in English: The
psychological revolution) was published by publisher Free Musketeers.
Free Musketeers went bankrupt, so you can't buy the book anymore.
On March 1 2011 I presented the philosophy in my book The third scientific revolution (see below) to members of the philosophyclub Philos in Groningen.
On December 24 2009 my first non-fiction book De derde wetenschapsrevolutie (in
English: The third scientific revolution) was published by publisher Free Musketeers.
The book contains the history of philosophy and science, showing
where things went right and wrong. It also brings my philosophy, physics, cosmology and astronomy in a much
better way than it is brought on this website. To
understand the book you don't have to know a thing about
philosophy or science. If you want to find out why we live and why the universe exists and get a good understanding
of the universe: read The third revolution of science.
Free Musketeers went bankrupt, so you can't buy the book anymore.

On May 22 2007 I presented my alternative physics and cosmology on a science congress (Bessensap)
in Amsterdam. The congress was organized by the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
I was invited after sending my manuscript Small
particles in an infinite universe to the organization of the congress.
In October 2005 my paper about alternative physics and cosmology Is the biggest paradigm shift in the history of science at hand? was published in the open-access journal Progress in Physics.
In May 2005 my paper High redshift galaxies may be clusters of galaxies was published in the proceedings of the 12th annual conference of the Natural Philosophy Alliance.
On October 29 2004 I presented my physics and cosmology on a congress (about future science)
in Leeuwarden.
My manuscript The theory of relativity and the big
bang: facts or fiction? was handed out to everyone in the audience.
On April 7 2004 I presented my astronomy at the 11th annual conference
of the Natural Philosophy Alliance, which was held from April 7 to April 10 in Denver, Colorado, USA.
My paper An astronomy model
within an infinite universe was published in the proceedings of the conference.

Major update of this website.
I dedicate this website to the memory of dr. John E. Chappell, Jr., who got me out of my scientific
isolation by inviting me to join the Natural Philosophy
Alliance1, an organization which
he co-founded and directed.
John Chappell's invitation in February 2002 gave me a lot of encouragement to continue my work on
physics, cosmology and astronomy. Sadly he died on June 5 2002 at
the age of 68. By then he had brought hundreds of people with alternatives for the theory of relativity and the big bang
theory together.

Publication of this website on the internet.
You can read the print version of the old
website.
In December 1995 my first novel De zeven wegen der
waanzin (in English: The seven ways of madness) was published
by publisher Kwadraat (under the pseudonym Durk Wille).
Kwadraat went bankrupt, so you can't buy the book anymore.
The last chapter of the novel is
a philosophical-cosmological paper.
In October 1994 my philosophical-cosmological paper De zin van het leven (in
English: The meaning of life) was published in the Dutch-Flemish philosophy magazine Filosofie (under
the pseudonym Durk Wille).
It was my first publication. Most of the paper still stands for me and led to everything on
this website, including my books.
I dedicate the 1994-meaning-of-life-paper to the 5000 pesetas note I received in Barcelona on
January 29 1993.
I guess I found the meaning of life in 1993, a 5000 pesetas note made the difference.
The 5000 pesetas note is explained in The night of four times
21. To save the planet we need a story that brings us together.

“My book has a year to convince people that contemporary conventional physics are wrong and therefore
the safety analyses of particle accelerators too.”

cosmology and astronomy is deducted.”

“The bottom line is that astronomers and physicists are being brainwashed from the very beginning
of their studies, they have the theory of relativity and the big bang model implanted as the indisputable truth.”

between all kinds of sciences.”

“Thoughts are nothing but feelings linked together so fast that we don't realize anymore that
thoughts are feelings.”

“You can cut proteins into amino acids and you can cut amino acids into atoms, but where
is life's borderline? If there is no exact borderline where life starts or ends, then atoms live too.”
