Burkhard Heim (February 9 1925 in Potsdam - January 14 2001 in Northeim) was a German theoretical physicist. He devoted a large portion of his life to the pursuit of his unified field theory, Heim theory. One of his childhood ambitions was to develop a method of space travel, which contributed to his motivation to find such a theory. During World War II, Heim was recruited as a soldier in the air force. Wikipedia
