Who is Jan C. A. Boeyens?

Jan C. A. Boeyens is a South African chemist.

Boeyens was educated at the University of Pretoria. 1965 he worked in the National Physics Research Laboratory of South Africa, 1965 in Stanford. 1981 he became a professor of chemistry at the University of the Witwatersrand, in 1991 dean of the faculty of science of this university.

He has written or co-written more than 600 scientific contributions. Some of his books are used as textbooks of theoretical chemistry all over the world.

As an emeritus he wrote books neglecting the scientific consensus about the adequacy of quantum mechanics. He claims to be able to establish more accurate modern physics and chemistry without using higher mathematics by using some elementary number theory. He references the numerological idea of the “prime number cross” invented by the German chemist and author Peter Plichta.
