Welcome

to the home page of

Karl H. Puechl

I'm a retired theoretical physicist whose career was primarily in the nuclear power industry but who, in later years, directed research on a variety of energy conversion schemes.

My wife, Jean, and I are longtime Unitarian Universalists who were instrumental in founding the UU church in Monroeville, PA and, more recently, we have rotated the presidency of the UU Fellowship of Hemet-San Jacinto Valley which is near our home in southern California.

Throughout my years as a Unitarian Universalist, I have frequently presented the lecture at our Sunday services. Also, while fellowship president, I tried to present poignant opening remarks about current events or about some philosophical or scientific topic that might be of general interest to UUs.

In trying to present something that might illustrate who I am in a terse and general manner I came up with the following logo and associated blurb.

From the tiny Quark to the immense Universe (and for Everything in between) Questioning and Analysis lead to Understanding while Blind Acceptance produces Believers (and by their definition Non-Believers) whose very nature brings on Divisiveness and Bigotry

If you are a Unitarian Universalist, Humanist, Atheist or a Freethinker without affiliation, I especially invite you to read the following lectures, general commentary and quotations. More importantly, I invite your comments; perhaps, we can get a dialog started. My e-mail address is puechl@earthlink.net. Further, I invite all others to read these pages; perhaps, you will be annoyed or, perhaps, you may find that you are a Unitarian Universalist without knowing it.
