| Abstract: | I would like to show you the cover of the new and important volume by Professor Zichichi. We are very happy to inform you that it is now available in print in Chinese.This book speaks out against superstition, and it is therefore important to China as China is a feudal, ancient country where a law has recently been passed against superstition. Nino's book, translated into Chinese, is both extremely timely and useful.Of course, as we all know, the bond between China and Italy dates back to Marco Polo. The intercultural exchange between pasta and the Chinese noodles is also well known.Some twelve years ago, China celebrated the formulation of natural law by Galileo by designing a postcard, and also celebrated Enrico Fermi, my teacher, for the launching of nuclear power in 1942.So the bond between Italy and China has existed for almost a millennium and I think it is worthwhile to note that they are joined again today against the falsification of truth by superstition.Note from Publisher: This article contains the abstract only. |
