"I want to be remembered for my view that, amidst the glitter of technological advances, we are living during a scientific obscurantism on basic scientific knowledge of such a magnitude to dwarf by comparison the scientific obscurantism imposed by the Vatican during Galileo's times, because the latter obscurantism was motivated by religious dogmas, while the current obscurantism is motivated by billions of dollars of public research funds that have been granted for one century and continue to be granted solely for research based on century-old basic doctrines and the organized suppression of scientific democracy for qualified advances so much needed by America and mankind."

"The widespread dismissal without due scientific process for about one century by primary academic institutions of the 1935 Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument on the lack of completeness of quantum mechanics, which was initiated by Nazi propaganda in the 1930s and continued to these days under large public research funds, is one of the biggest scientific blunders in history because based on the tacit assumption that the validity of quantum mechanics for isolated point-particles in vacuum can be extended to describe all the complexities of the universe, under the studious oblivion of numerous experimentally established deviations from quantum mechanics in physics, chemistry and biology."

"One of the best kept secrets of the best Ph. D. schools in chemistry is the impossibility for quantum chemistry to provide a quantitative representation of molecular structures despite billions of dollars of public research funds, because of the extremely big Coulomb repulsion between the identical, negatively charged, valence electrons. According to High School calculations, said repulsion reaches hundreds of Newtons, namely, the value of a classical unit which is part of the torque io a Ferrari. The general educated audience can then understand the impossibility for quantum chemistry to reach a quantitative representation of the "attraction" between the tiny electrons of valence pairs as occurring in nature and solely representable at this moment (December 20, 1999) via hadronic chemistry.

"With their neutrino "v" hypothesis, W. Pauli and E. Fermi did salvage special relativity thanks to the conservation of the angular momentum in the neutron synthesis in the core of stars from a proton "p" and an electron "e", p + e ---> n + v, but they did not salvage relativistic quantum mechanics because the mass of the neutron is about one million electron Volts bigger than the sum of the masses of the the proton and of electron, thus causing the inapplicability of the Schroedinger and Dirac equations in favor of the covering hadronic relativity, equations and mechanics."

"Rather than abusing Einstein's name by applying the 20th century realization of his theories for conditions they were never intended for and are experimentally disproved in any case, the best way to honor Einstein's name is that of maintaining his axioms, and introducing broader realizations for the representation of more complex conditions in nature."

"According to clear experimental evidence, the size of the wave packets of particles is essentially the same as that of all hadrons. Consequently, hadrons, nuclei and stars are composed by extended wave packets in conditions of total mutual immersion, with ensuing non-linear, non-local and non-Hamiltonian interactions under which 20th century mathematical, physical, chemical and biological theories are inapplicable."

"Since the range of strong interactions is essentially equal to the size of all hadrons, the activation of strong interactions requires the mutual penetration of the charge distribution of hadrons with consequential non-linear, non-local and non-Hamiltonian interactions that, nowadays, are solely representable with the isotopic element of isomathematics."

"Lack of participation in basically new advances is a gift of scientific priorities to others."

"There cannot be a really new physical or chemical theory without a really new mathematics, and there cannot be a really new mathematics without new numbers."

"The difference between 'True Researchers' and 'Political Physicists' is illustrated by the comparison of
>> Einstein's doubts on the r.h.s. of his field equations, and
>> physicists who become hysterical at the mere mention of Einstein's doubts."

"I cannot accept charge conjugation as a particle-antiparticle conjugation because it implies that all antiparticles have positive masses, against the evidence of particle-antiparticle annihilation into light which requires antiparticles to have negative mass according to Paul Dirac."

"There is hope that 'hope' can represent life." [[ Statement made by Sir R. M.. Santilli during the 2020 International Conference organized by the R. M. Santilli Foundation and the Family of Israel Foundation on the Einstein-Podo9lsky-Rosen argument http://www.world-lecture-series.org/level-xii-epr-teleconference-2020 to indicate that the irreversible hyperstructural branch of hadronic mechanics, and its hyperopetrations called 'hope', may represent life as the difference between organic and inorganic molecules.]]
