In recognition for his fundamentals contribution
to Theoretical Physics, in particular for the Algebraic Approach to Quantum
Mechanics which has made possible a deeper understanding of
non-locality and the Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theories' connections.
In addition to his achievements, we want also to recognize his paramount
importance as natural philosopher, his critical and open minded attitude
towards the role of science in contemporary culture.
“I would like to take this opportunity to formally
acknowledge the considerable mathematical help I have received from Maurice de
Gosson, Ernst Binz and Fabio Frescura without whose input my work would not
have been possible. I would also like to acknowledge the input of my colleagues
Robert Callaghan, David Robson and Graham Yendall who have helped me clarify
many difficult points that have cropped up over the years and above all the
acknowledge the considerable input of David Bohm whose discussion have made my
work possible”. B. J. Hiley.
