Bio

Dr. J. Marvin Herndon is a highly trained scientist who just happens to also be a truly "out-of-the-box" thinker. He was trained as a physicist and holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Chemistry. He was also the hand-picked beneficiary of knowledge from two aging world-master scientists, who had themselves been trained by world-master scientists. Dr. Herndon is known as the originator of the idea that the Earth might have at its center a five-mile-wide natural nuclear reactor, called the georeactor, which is the energy source for the geomagnetic field. In 2002, Discover magazine featured his work and suddenly the scientific community began to take notice. For thirty years, Dr. Herndon has been on a path of discovery that he often refers to as a "logical progression of understanding." Along that path he has had important insights and has made major discoveries in planetary science and, especially, about the Earth.
