Gregory P. Laughlin is a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Yale University.[1] He is interested in hydrodynamic simulations, the characterization of extrasolar planets and planet-forming environments as well as the far future of the Universe.


In 1997, Laughlin published a 57-page paper in Reviews of Modern Physics about the far future of the universe that made the front page of the New York Times.[2] This paper became the inspiration of the book The Five Ages of the Universe, which he wrote along with Fred Adams. In 2014, he published a paper on high-frequency trading, showing that even if a trader won only 51% of trades, they would be guaranteed to make a profit if they made enough trades.[3] Next year in 2015, he co-founded the aggregated prediction platform Metaculus with Anthony Aguirre.[4] [5] Gregory P. Laughlin also made a price for earth at $5 quadrillion dollars to show a message of how precious the planet earth is and to not destroy it.[6]
