Kauko Armas Nieminen (born 15 February 1929 in Kuopio, Finland) is a Finnish self-taught physicist.

Although Nieminen is most known for his works in physics, he does not have any academic training or degree in physics, but is entirely self-taught. He has a bachelor's degree in law from the University of Helsinki.

Nieminen's research and theories in physics are unusual. The basis of his work is the theory of "ether vortices". In principle, the theory claims that the universe is filled with ether, and as the ends of the ether come close to each other vortices appear. The center of a vortex is an elementary particle. Nieminen claims his theories can explain gravity, quantum phenomena, ball lightnings and the creation of the world.[1]

Nieminen is also very critical towards the established scientific community, though not towards students of science, and has in fact been frequently invited to lecture to the same amidst mutual respect and good humor.

Nieminen has published several books. Nieminen does not use a commercial publisher or advertisement agency, but instead publishes and distributes his books and advertisements himself.

Kauko Nieminen was a deputy member of the city council of Helsinki from 2001 to 2004.[2] In the 2000 municipal elections, he was a candidate from the joint election list of the independent candidates in the Helsinki Metropolitan area.[3]
