Ruggero Maria Santilli (born 1935) is an Italian-American physicist.

Biography

Originally from the Italian region of Molise, Santilli studied physics at the University of Naples and went on to attend the Graduate School in Physics of the University of Turin, graduating in 1966. In 1967 he was invited by the University of Miami to conduct research under NASA financial support. Starting in 1968, Santilli was an Associate Professor of Physics at Boston University, teaching physics and mathematics, and conducted research for the United States Air Force. During this time, he became a naturalized American citizen. In 1976 and 1977 Santilli was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Starting in 1978, he did research at Harvard University. In 1983 Santilli became the President of his newly-formed Institute for Basic Research.[1]

Work

Although Santilli has published papers in the mainstream scientific literature, a large amount of his work has dealt with his so-called hadronic mechanics, a novel fundamental theory of the Universe which is not generally accepted by the physics community.[2][3] Much of his work on this mechanics has been published in Hadronic Journal, a journal of which Santilli is the founder and chief editor. Santilli has also established the journals Hadronic Journal Supplement and Algebras, Groups and Geometries, in which he publishes papers by himself and others. These journals are published by Hadronic Press, a firm of which Santilli's spouse Carla Santilli is the sole officer/director.[4]

Santilli also claims to have developed novel fuels, named MagneGas and MagneHydrogen.[5][6][7][8] These fuels are allegedly composed of magnecules, which are atoms and molecules bonded by "toroidal polarization of the orbits of [at least] the valence electrons."[9][10][11]

In 1999, Santilli established the International Committee for Scientific Ethics and Accountability to "oppose scientific frauds, plagiarisms, and deceptions," which stated that it would sue anyone who performed various acts, such as anyone who plagiarized "either in part or in full, the following parametric deformation of Lie theory, and of Heisenberg equation in their infinitesimal and finite versions".[12]
