In the year 2000 Santilli wrote an appeal to the scientists of the world to go together to stop the ethical decline and disregard for proper academic rules in physics. He compares the situation to day with that which met Galilei 400 years ago, and claims that what is happening to day may be even more serious for the development of science: “To provide a tentative historical perspective, I make a parallelism of the current scientific obscurantism with that during Galilei’s time. In particular I show that the techniques employed by the Jesuits in attempting to suppress Galilei’s novel ideas, not only are fully in force to day, but have been refined into a rather sophisticated art. …… A similar un-reassuring perspective appears to emerge in the contemporary scientific obscurantism, however with implications nowadays much more serious than those occurred in the Middle Age, such as the inability to resolve truly basic needs for our societies, such as new clean energies and fuels, as well as the recycling of radioactive and other wastes created by our generation …. “
Santilli’s appeal has been heard and receives now an increasing support. It has been established a society, http://www.santilli-foundation.org/ with Francesco Fucilla, an industrialist and multi-billionaire, as sponsor and Carlo Marafioti as a dynamic administrator. Dunning-Davies has been elected president. And Myron Evans has now become vice-president. He is the leader of the Alpha Institute for Advanced Studies and is bringing with him 400 other scientists, mostly physicists, encouraging other key people in vanguard physics to join in. As general secretary, Kiril Chukanov has been elected. He is working on the development of generators for free energy based on Tesla techniques in Canada.
Quite a small army seems to be building up for attack. The battle is about a new physics and possible solutions to the impending problems of energy and climate we are facing. And as we had to expect, antagonistic forces start to come into play. But apart from the article by Calo in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, there have been no arguments in serious scientific journals (where apparently the name of Santilli and hadron physics have become taboo and must not be mentioned). But in more popular channels there have been short mentions of Dunning-Davies, Santilli and Myron Evans which have been stigmatized as “fringe science”.
Most serious is that it is announced from China that the pages from the Santilli-Galielei Association have been blocked by software which has made it impossible for the Chinese to get access without the use of penetrating anti-software. It is not probable that Chinese authorities have ordered this. Their censorship of the Internet is for political reasons. Here it is a matter of science. And in other cases the Chinese have proved a positive interest for scientific information that has been ridiculed in Western countries (like the biophoton theory of Frits Popp and the treatment of tumours with direct electrical current developed by Björn Nordenström). We can only speculate what interests are at work here, trying to block information about this new development in physics to China. In our review of Dunning-Davies’ book, we wrote that it would be to the benefit of us all if either India or China, or both, became pioneering countries for the development of hadron technologies. But this is from a global perspective. Those who try to block the access of the Chinese to this information certainly may wish to prevent such a development. If they will succeed is, however, an open question. Chinese scientists who are engaged in hadron physics, try to circumvent this by bringing information from the Santilli-Galilei Association on Chinese web sites.
It may look as if it is building up to a real revolt in the world of physics. That may herald a scientific revolution, what in the history of science is called a change of paradigm. If so, this may have large consequences also beyond physics and chemistry. Biology and medicine will certainly be affected. Such a change of paradigm will actualize profound questions within the theory of science and philosophy.

This may, therefore, be the point to remind that we have established 4 thematic pages here at our web site: in Biology and Medicine, in Physics and Mathematics, in Ecology, and in Philosophy and the Theory of Science. It is our intention to build up these thematic pages successively.

The other book review we bring here in our first newsletter about the history of Laertril and Vitamin B17 speaks for itself and does not need any comment here.

Opening this our web site, we want to make aware of the fact that there is an Italian web site with a corresponding name: www.sintropia.it . There you will find a long article by Antonella Vannini “Entropy and Syntropy: from mechanical to life science” which gives an excellent explanation of the concept of ‘syntropy’ and its relevance in physics and psychology.
