Keith Johnson, MIT

Dr. Keith Johnson is MIT Professor Emeritus.  In 2021, he published a major paper, “Cosmology, Astrobiology, and the RNA World: Just Add Quintessential Water" in the International Journal of Astrobiology 20(2), 111-124, connecting cosmic dark matter, dark energy, and the origin of life throughout the universe. This has led to the videos on this channel.  Professor Johnson points out that the original idea that quintessential water as cosmic water nanoclusters ejected from cosmic dust may be a form of dark matter was a major plot element in a science-fiction feature film, “Breaking Symmetry” he wrote, produced, and directed at MIT twenty years ago. The principal character in the film is a young female astrophysicist studying dark matter. The complete movie is included on this channel and has been seen over a million times since launching on YouTube.
