Remo Ruffini Still with Us

``There is therefore the very exciting possibility that the actual details of the process of gravitational collapse can be inferred in principle from the structure of the P-GRB or of the “genuine” short GRBs: from their duration, spectra and time variability.''

``12. Conclusions
I have summarized the vast scenario made possible by the unprecedented technological possibilities of observing SNe, GRBs, GRBs associated with SNe, all the way to neo-neutron stars and proto-black holes. The corresponding theoretical work is rapidly expanding over new regimes of ultrarelativistic field theories and encompassing all fundamental interactions. A novel unified approach to nuclear physics, neutron stars, white dwarfs and gravitationally collapsed objects is rapidly emerging. All this offers unprecedented possibilities to enlarge our knowledge of fundamental physics and relativistic astrophysics, as well as to reach an understanding of yet unexplained phenomena of fundamental physics.''

Who needs String Theory, when one has Real Physics!

Hooray for Ruffini!

My friend Alexei Vladimir Filippenko there with the great scientists!
