Pierre-Marie Robitaille Ph.D., is a Professor of radiology at Ohio State University. He is known for his claim that the Cosmic background radiation associated with the Big Bang comes from the oceans, not deep space.

He graduated from Iowa State University with a Ph.D. in 1986, holding majors in Zoology and Inorganic Chemistry.^[4] He has published over 80 articles dealing with applied and theoretical aspects of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy.^[5]

Pierre-Marie Robitaille led the design and assembly of the world’s first Ultra High Field human MRI scanner, from 1995-2000,.

This scanner operates at a magnetic field of 8 Tesla (160,000 times the earth’s field at sea level).

The 8 Tesla MRI doubled the previous record for magnetic field strength in MRI.

Dr. Robitaille has published an editorial work on UHFMRI (Pierre-Marie Robitaille and Lawrence J. Berliner, eds, Biological Magnetic Resonance vol.

26: Ultra High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Springer, New York, 2006).

This work features a preface by Paul Lauterbur (Nobel Prize 2003, Medicine). It was as a result of the findings in UHFMRI (a lower than expected RF power requirement) that Dr. Robitaille became involved in Kirchhoff’s Law, Universality, and other aspects of Thermal physics.^[1]

He was born in Ontario, raised by French-Canadian parents.

Dr Robitaille produces videos for his own channel Sky Scholar (YouTube). He has given many public talks, including at the Thunderbolts Project's Electric Universe conferences in 2014 and 2015.^[9][8][7]

His interests are Cosmology and star evolution. He likes sailing and building timber frame structures.
