Check out the trailer for my interview discussing nonlocality on the Curious Minds program on Curiosity Stream. For several years, I ran a successful podcast, Science By Number, with Jessica Scott. More to come soon. Stay tuned.

Statement of Work Philosophy
Never waste time on easy problems. Devote yourself entirely to the hardest problems. Along the way, you will inevitably solve many easy ones — but do not let those successes distract you. Always return your focus to the deepest, most difficult challenges. - Jenny Lorraine Nielsen
Nielsen's Hobbies:
Writing fiction, hanging out with feline friends, fiddling with musical composition, singing, cooking, writing poetry, philosophy of tech, philosophy of gender, medievalism, comparative religion, social media over-use, communication, volunteer work (especially with Justice Matters in Kansas)
Jennifer "Jenny" Nielsen (PhD Candidate, MSc Physics, MA Philosophy) is a physicist, quantum gravity theorist, and philosopher of science.
She is the author of the Topological Unified Field Theory on the Complex Hopf Fibration, a quantum gravity theory written on the complex Hopf fibration, which is undergoing peer review.
Her dissertation, Math Over Mechanism, presents relational structuralism ("new structuralism") as a general theory of explanation in the sciences and compares to historical mechanistic approaches.
In summer 2026, she showed that OpenAI's counterexample to Connes' Rigidity Conjecture was flawed using a reductio, and using the same reductio she was able to prove Connes' conjecture.
She has a broad base of research experience including work in quantum gravity, philosophy of science, exotic propulsion, laser optics, quantum computing (for which she received an FQXi award), quantum crystallography (for which she won the SEARCH prize), and galaxy evolution (for which she holds a Chambliss medal).
With colleague Lu Semita she has addressed the Riemann hypothesis and the Navier-Stokes problem (Option C). By extending the analysis beyond the Clay problem, she developed a complete solution to Navier Stokes in complex time including a solution to turbulence and derived the laws of thermodynamics from first principles, potentially resolving what is widely considered the "holy grail" of classical physics and aerospace problems.
She has achieved PhD Candidacy at the University of Kansas and holds two master's degrees--a master of science in physics (emphasis: quantum systems, nonlocality in time) and a master of arts in philosophy (emphasis: philosophy of science)--both from the University of Kansas. She holds a bachelor of science in physics summa cum laude (highest Latin honors) with highest departmental honors from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). She has received numerous awards, grants and accolades for her work.

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." - Richard Feynman
"Science is systematic distrust in authority." -Jenny Nielsen
"The value of philosophy is in it very uncertainty. [By] diminishing our feeling of certainty as to what things are, [philosophy] greatly increases our knowledge as to what they must be [and] keeps alive our sense of wonder." - Bertrand Russell
"By doubting we come to inquiry, and by inquiry we come to the truth." -Peter Abelard
"I want to know the thoughts of God. The rest are details."
-Stephen Hawking (paraphrased quote of Albert Einstein)
"We must know. We will know." - David Hilbert
