PREFACE
“Orbis Scientiae 1999” constitutes the 28th conference on High Energy Physics
and Cosmology that were begun in 1964. It has now e an institution by itself
under the aegis of which the physicists convene annually in South Florida. It created a
Belle Époque in Coral Gables. The series of Orbis Scientiae started with the participants
of highest distinction in physics of the 20th Century. After its first two decades the
conferences have been placed in the hands of younger and promising physicists.
The 1999 meeting was the last conference of the millennium. The topics that
were covered did not give the impression of laying the foundations of great
advancements in theoretical physics. Work on such concepts as strings or super strings,
is being actively pursued. It is ofcourse true that revolutions in physics are not frequent.
Finding the neutrino massiveness was quite exciting but did not provide enough basis for
further progress in the field of neutrino physics.
Recent efforts with regard to extensive studies
