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.
