Just before the preliminary program of Orbis Scientiae 1998 went to press the news in physics was suddenly dominated by the discovery that neutrinos are, after all, massive particles. This was predicted by some physicists including Dr. Behram Kusunoglu, who had a paper published on this subject in 1976 in the Physical Review. Massive neutrinos do not necessarily simplify the physics of elementary particles but they do give elementary particle physics a new direction.
If the dark matter content of the universe turns out to consist of neutrinos, the fact that they are massive should make an impact on cosmology. Some of the papers in this volume have attempted to provide answers to these questions. We have a long way to go before we find the real reasons for nature’s creation of neutrinos. Another neutrino-related event was the passing of their discoverer, Fredrick Reines:
The trustees of the Global Foundation, members of the Orbis Scientiae 1998, dedicate this conference to Fredrick Reines of the University of California at Irvine. The late Professor Reines was a loyal and active member of these series of conferences on the frontiers of physics and cosmology since 1964. He also sewed as one of the trustees of the Global Foundation for the past three years. Professor Reines discovered the most elusive particle, the neutrino, in 1954. We are proud to say that we recognized the importance of this discovery by awarding him the J. Robert Oppenheimer memorial Prize 15 years before the Nobel Foundation’s recognition of him in 1995. We shall all miss Fred. We extend our condolences to all the members of his family: his wife Sylvia Reines, his son and daughter, and four grandchildren.
This conference was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation. The Trustees and the Chairman of the Global Foundation wish to extend a special thanks to Edward Bacinich of Alpha Omega Research Foundation for his generous support of this conference.
