4th Vigier Symposium
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ___________________________________ VIGIER IV ___________________________________ " ...the right hand side includes all that cannot be described so far in the Unified Field Theory, of course, not for a fleeting moment, have I had any doubt that such a formulation is just a temporary answer, undertaken to give General Relativity some closed expression. This formulation has been in essence nothing more than the theory of the gravitational field which has been separated in a somewhat artificial manner from the unified field of a yet unknown nature" Albert Einstein. ___________________________________ Mon - Fri, September 15th - 19th, 2003 The scientific program will include invited and contributed lectures and poster presentations
