Historical account


• As shown by these dates, my réflections about this theme began indeed rather long time ago. The very beginning is since about 1967 when, pupil in science sixth form, I have studied special relativity (in a book discovered by good fortune in the municipal library) ; but principally afterwards when, thesis studient at CEA in elementary particle physics, I had the opportunity to attend to many séminars and conferences (CNRS, CERN, Gif sur Yvette summer school...) since about 1975.

Some of my conclusions come from this period. Some others came afterwards in addition, very progressively since this research does not constitute my main activity (when the thesis studient I was started to propound his ideas on this subject, he began to hear some comments like : “no, you will not venture upon this kind of work too, there is already enough with [so-and-so] who sinks into far delirium...” ; brief : even for a student rather brilliant and armoured with diploma, no possible job in this way ; wishing to earn my living while trying to make myself useful, I then choosed the profession of teacher).

The lonely research work has the advantage to incline to explore some more original ways, allowing less influence from “argumentations” which have been so much heard of that one is no more able to leave them (of the kind : “it is generally assumed that...”). It has the disadvantage to progress very more slowly (I don't devote to that more than half an hour by week on an average) and to avoid dead-ends with more difficulty : one risks to end by create its own vicious circles from which one is no more able to leave.

This is why I have decided to propound my ideas for discussion via the internet.
