  A short scientific biography is given of physicist Paul Wesson (1949-2015),
who published over 300 works encompassing the fields of astrobiology,
astrophysics, geophysics, cosmology, and relativity; and who was particularly
associated with a fully covariant version of Kaluza-Klein theory known as
Space-Time-Matter theory, in which matter and energy in four dimensions are
induced from empty space in higher dimensions, thus realizing Einstein's dream
and unifying the gravitational field with its source.
