Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist and science educator. He received his Bachelor of Science in Physics from California Polytechnic State University in 2005 and received his PhD in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2011.[1][2] He is currently a Cosmological Researcher & Community Outreach Coordinator with the Department of Astronomy at Ohio State University.[2] Sutter host several podcasts, a YouTube series, consults for TV and film productions, publishes articles for popular science publications, makes public appearances discussing physics and astronomy topics[1] and has copublished over fifty astrophysics articles on arXiv.[3] He is the Chief Scientist of Columbus, Ohio's Center of Science and Industry.[4][5]

Sutter briefly met Stephen Hawking while at the University of Cambridge.[6] He stated that Hawking helped to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics,[7] he was his mentor, and we should celebrate his tenacity and accomplishments.[6]

Sutter does research and gives commentary on general relativity,[8] the physics that created the Big Bang,[9] cosmology,[10] the death of stars,[11] astrophotography,[12] magnetars,[13] and dark energy.[14] He also comments on astronomical events that are visible to amateur stargazers and astronomers,[15] including the best places and times to stargaze the planets,[16] the Super Blue Blood Moon,[17] and solar[18] and lunar eclipse.[19] Popular science articles often use him as a reference for popular and entertaining science questions, such as how the body would respond in the vacuum of space,[20] time travel[21][22][23][24] wormholes[25][26] and what would happen if every human on Earth jumped at the same time.[27]

His father was a Catholic Priest, but Sutter does not speak on his personal views of religion, other than to say that he knows atheist and people of all religious faiths who have reconciled their beliefs with science.[28]
