	I am sending to you this short e-mail to congratulate your lucid view 
of the state of the Physics.
 
	Like you, I also think that science is forgotting its original reasons 
to develop research, it has forgotten the cause to fight. Originally, science 
was a fight against superstition. Now, science does not have too much sense. 
We converted ourselves into specialist that know many things about almost 
anything, i.e. ignorants about everything except a small field. Many plagues 
invade us. Science is sick today, we are watching its decadence.
 
	I agree with you, we need regain the "Philosophiae Naturalis".
