[2] Weinstein studied as an undergraduate student at Princeton University, from where he graduated with honors with an A.B.
"[3] After several years of writing, recording, and performing music,[4] he returned to academic work, obtaining his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Northwestern University in 1998, supervised by Arthur Fine.
His research is in the interpretation of quantum theory and the nature of space, time, and space-time.
He has written critically on anthropic reasoning in cosmology, and most recently was the co-recipient (along with George Francis Rayner Ellis) of the 2nd Prize in the Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) essay contest on "Questioning the Foundations" for his paper 'Patterns in the fabric of nature', which proposes that non-local constraints may play a role in fundamental physics and may help explain both large-scale (cosmological) and small-scale (quantum) correlations.
[5] His work on multiple time dimensions was featured on Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.
