Progress in Physics
promotes individual academic freedom for research, according to the
respective articles stated by the Declaration of Academic Freedom.
Therefore the articles published in Progress in Physics
may not necessarily represent the views of the Editorial Board or its
individual members. All submissions will be read by one of the Editors,
then forwarded to invited experts, whose professional field is close to
the submission. Decision about the submission will be produced by the
Editors, according to the recommendations obtained from the side of the
reviewers.
Dmitri Rabounski
(b. 1965
in Moscow, Russia) was educated at the Moscow High School of Physics.
Commencing in 1983, he was trained by Prof. Kyril Stanyukovich
(1916-1989), a prominent scientist in gaseous dynamics and General
Relativity. He was also trained with Dr. Abraham Zelmanov
(1913-1987), the famous cosmologist and researcher in General
Relativity. During the 1980's, he was also trained by
Dr. Vitaly Bronshten (1918-2004), the well-known expert in the
physics of destruction of bodies in atmosphere. Dmitri Rabounski has
published about 30 scientific papers and 6 books on General Relativity,
gravitation, physics of meteoroids, and astrophysics. In 2005, he
started a new American journal on physics, Progress in Physics,
where he is the Editor-in-Chief, and is currently continuing his
scientific studies as an independent researcher.
Florentin Smarandache
(b. 1954 in Bălceşti, Romania) was educated in the Department
of
Mathematics of the University of Craiova, Romania, where he received a
MSc in both mathematics and computer sciences. He earned a PhD in
number theory from Moldova State University at Kishinev.
Prof. Smarandache is the founder of a class of "paradoxist
geometries", where one or more axioms can be denied in two different
ways or can be true and false at the same time (Smarandache
geometries). In collaboration with Dr. Jean Dezert, a French
engineer, he constructed a new theory of plausible and paradoxical
reasoning (DSmT) in information fusion. He is also the inventor of a
new class of logic (neutrosophic logic) upon which he built a new
philosophy, neutrosophy, which extends the current dialectics by the
inclusion of neutralities. He is the author of many books and more than
one hundred fifty scientific articles on mathematics, physics,
robotics, engineering, philosophy. After 1990,
Prof. Smarandache continued his studies at various
universities in the USA. In 1997, he joined the Department of
Mathematics and Sciences of the University of New Mexico, where he is
Full Professor. In 2005,
Florentin Smarandache became a co-founder and Associate Editor of Progress in Physics.
In recent years, he is working on fundamental problems in mathematical
physics and their applications.
Larissa Borissova
(b. 1944 in Moscow, Russia) was educated at the Faculty of
Astronomy, the
Department of Physics of the Moscow State University. Commencing in
1964, she was trained by Dr. Abraham Zelmanov (1913-1987), a
famous cosmologist and researcher in General Relativity. She was also
trained, commencing in 1968, by Prof. Kyril Stanyukovich
(1916-1989), a prominent scientist in gaseous dynamics and General
Relativity. In 1975, Larissa Borissova received the "candidate of
science" degree on gravitational waves (the Soviet PhD). She has
published about 30 scientific papers and 6 books on General Relativity
and gravitation. In 2005, Larissa Borissova became a co-founder and
Associate Editor of Progress
in Physics, and is currently continuing her scientific
studies as an independent researcher.
Stephen J. Crothers
(b. 1957, Sydney, Australia) was educated as a MSc of
astronomy in the University of Western Sydney, initially
doing research related to detection of extra-solar planets. He took up
theoretical physics, after reading two papers (1979, 1989) by the
American theoretical physicist Dr. Leonard S. Abrams,
who studied the ultimate conditions in the Schwarzschild metric.
Building upon these works, Stephen J. Crothers obtained the exact
solutions in the Schwarzschild field, expressed in the terms of
observable quantities. In the Autumn of 2005 he was invited to the
Editorial Board of Progress
in Physics, as an Associate Editor. In 2008 he was awarded
a gold medal for his research work, by the Santilli-Galilei
Association. He has published a number of papers studying the
Schwarzschild metric, and other aspects of General Relativity.
