Starlight and Time: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe by D. Russell Humphreys (Author)- Dr. D. Russell Humphreys was awarded his Ph.D. in physics from Louisiana State University in 1972, by which time he was a fully convinced creationist. For the next 6 years he worked in the High Voltage Laboratory of General Electric Company, designing and inventing equipment and researching high-voltage phenomena. While there, he received a U.S. patent and one of Industrial Research Magazine’s IR-100 awards. Beginning in 1979 he worked for Sandia National Laboratories (New Mexico) in nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed-power research, and theoretical atomic and nuclear physics. In 1985, he began working with Sandia’s ‘Particle Beam Fusion Project’, and was co-inventor of special laser-triggered ‘Rimfire’ high-voltage switches, now coming into wider use. The last few years at Sandia had seen greater emphasis on theoretical nuclear physics and radiation hydrodynamics in an effort to help produce the world’s first lab-scale thermonuclear fusion. Besides gaining another U.S. patent, Dr. Humphreys has been given two awards from Sandia, including an Award for Excellence for contributions to light ion-fusion target theory. Dr. Humphreys has retired from Sandia and now works with the Institute for Creation Research. He has published some 20 papers in secular scientific journals, as well as many creationist technical papers.
