Robert D Forsberg (January 14, 1937 – June 8, 2023) was an American physicist, technician, and cooperative-living pioneer. Trained in physics, he spent much of his working life building specialized scientific equipment and later co-founded the Julian Woods Community in central Pennsylvania.
Biography
Forsberg was born on January 14, 1937, in Massillon, Ohio. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Westminster College in 1962. After serving with the Air National Guard, he worked for several years at Timken Roller Bearings before joining a research laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, where he assisted professors and doctoral candidates by designing and constructing specialized technical instruments and machines.
Forsberg settled in Centre County, Pennsylvania, in 1970. In 1975 he and his friend Jack Neisworth purchased 140 acres of rural land near Julian to establish the Julian Woods Community, an intentional cooperative-living settlement inspired by ideas of sustainable land stewardship. He died on June 8, 2023.
Work
Forsberg's professional career centered on applied physics and instrumentation. In his laboratory work at Carnegie Mellon University he built custom research apparatus for scientists and graduate students. His interests extended to questions concerning the evolution of the universe, the origins and evolution of life and humanity, and alternative cosmological ideas associated with the Electric Universe and Thunderbolts Project.
At the Julian Woods Community he applied his technical background to the settlement's infrastructure, designing and maintaining an ecological wastewater-recycling system, along with the community's wells, roads, and utilities. The community placed its land in a conservation trust administered by the School of Living.
