John A. Wheeler, the fertile-minded physicist who popularized mind-stretching ideas about black holes, worm holes and quantum foam and also confounded admirers by helping to conceive some of the most potent weapons of mass destruction, has died. He was 96. Wheeler died Sunday morning of pneumonia at his home in Hightstown, N.J., according to his daughter Alison Wheeler Lahnston. He had been in failing health for the last week.    (source: latimes.com)
