Abstract

The most fundamental change in Physics this century has been in the role of the observer. One consequence of the latter is symmetry, i. e., that two observers must perceive the same physical reality structure, as in relativity, and a second consequence is Quantum Mechanics. What we propose here is that an underlying nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) can describe high-energy physics phenomena.

These axe personnal views and not part of our respective activities at NSF and Nanobiology.
