Science Advisory Group |
"Science Advisory Group" is an international coalition of scientists whose general aim is to develop and promote scientific activities of large interest for society. The Group consists of scientific researchers in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, engineering, etc, who purport at an "Open Science", as counterbalancing an "Open Society". It is our belief that science, beside its advancing the technology, pursues and produces knowledge which belongs to everybody; and the right to knowledge should be inscribed among the Human Rights. In an Open Science Society the scientific achievements are not only a cultural goal, but a highly effective way toward opening new roads of assessing the sense and the meaning of the existence. In a more and more global world, consisting of an intricate texture of social, political, financial, technological and environmental threads, science remains a safe path toward understanding and survival. The Group is ready to develop scientific research in non-traditional subjects and forms, to popularize science, to enlarge the access to electronic mass-media, to disseminate science among non-professionals, especially young people, to convey a truthful science's and scientists' image to social circles. Our openness is probably best suggested, among others, by the following twelve "special" problems of physics research:
Within the Group there are issued more or less regularly two electronic jornals, by founder and editor M. Apostol. One is Journal of Theoretical Physics, which publishes research articles in all fields of theoretical physics on the basis of the judgment of the editor and his advisers. The Jornal is aimed at displaying scientific research which has a character of relevancy of the Theory in Natural Philosophy. The other is The Antiphysical Review, a critical journal of scientific research and of its social aspects. Most part of the latter is devoted to the critical analysis of the inconsistencies in the current science literature, aimed at unveiling non-scientific approaches and practices. |
