ForewordThese days, science is playing an ever increasing rle in the lives of each andevery one of us. The public is being lectured on climate change by very authoritativesounding people; the problems of the energy requirements of the world asa whole are being discussed quite openly and widely; more and more scientifictopics are being discussed openly by people in positions of authority. What is notemphasised, in fact is rarely mentioned, however, is that at the centre of all thesevarious discussions is physics. In the world of science, physics plays a crucial, allpervadingrole. If science is viewed as a bicycle wheel, physics forms the hub atthe centre; all the other branches of science act as the spokes of the wheel leadingoutwards from this central hub. In this context, mathematics is the language ofphysics and must always be subservient to the physics. Chemistry is merely onebranch of physics; engineering may be viewed as the practical manifestation ofphysical principles; physics is seen by all to be playing a bigger and bigger rlein medicine; in biology even, physics is becoming important particularly throughthe influence of thermodynamic principles, including that of entropy, in the examinationof the theory of evolution. Hence, it is certainly not unreasonable toclaim an all-pervading influence of physics in science. It must always be remembered,but frequently isnt, that physics is concerned with describing, and gainingan understanding of, the world around us. It follows that any models devised byman to achieve this are only as good as their ability to achieve this goal. Mansmodels will always be approximate and, therefore, always flawed. It is this whichspurred Ruggero Santilli to attempt to extend the theory behind quantum mechanicsand relativity when he realised that neither was, in fact, complete as atheory.The first volume of this two volume set was devoted to the mathematicaltheory developed by Ruggero Santilli over a period of years in an attempt tomake headway with the enormous task he had set for himself, for he had alwaysrealised that, to make any progress at all, some new mathematics would needto be developed. Mathematics as a tool of physics will always have a potentialto restrict progress in physics since it is a purely manmade tool. Also, if onelooks back through history to the likes of Newton and Einstein, it is apparentthat each developed or introduced new mathematics in order to proceed withprodigious advances in physics. The mathematics introduced in the first volumemight reasonably be considered a separate piece of work to be considered andappreciated in its own right. However, its purpose had always been to provide
