The VIIth VIGIER Symposium:
The Search For Fundamental Theory
A Symposium Honouring
Mathematical Physicist Jean-Pierre Vigier

" ...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.

    • Quantum mechanics and the nature of time
    • Superluminal tunneling time
    • Interaction free measurement
    • Aharanov-Bohm Effect
    • The Dirac equation; the Dirac Sea
    • Quantum potential and pilot wave
    • Nonlocality: Type I - spatial; Type II - temporal; Type III - unitarity
    • Advanced EPR experimentation and theory
    • Quantum computing

      • ZERO-POINT FIELD
    • Fundamentals and dynamics of the zero-point field
    • Energy from the vacuum
    • Vacuum technologies - theory and engineering
