During July 1991. a group of 99 physicists from 57 laboratories in
27 countries met in Erice for the 29th Course of the International
School of Subnuclear Physics. The countries represented were:
Algeria. Argentina. Austria. Brazil. Canada. China. France.
Germany. Greece. India. Ireland. Israel. Italy. New Zealand.
Norway. Pakistan. Poland. Portugal. Rumania. Spain. Sweden.
Switzerland. Thailand. Turkey. The Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics. the United Kingdom. and the United States of America.
The School was sponsored by the European Physical Society (EPS).
the Italian Ministry of Education (MPI). the Italian Ministry of
University and Scientific Research. the Sicilian Regional
Government (ERS). and the Weizmann Institute of Science. The
opening lecture of the School was given by Professor Lev Okun. A
few remarks are in order. In the pre-Gorbachev era. Professor
Okun's case was the most difficult: in spite of many invitations he
was not allowed to come and lecture at Erice. Nowadays the hard
times have nearly been forgotten. It is with pleasure that I recall
here a discussion I had with my friend Lev Okun in my house during
one of his rare visits to CERN. The after-dinner topic was Galileo
Galilei and his great discovery; i. e . * the equality between
gravitational and inertial masses - a discovery that we are
celebrating now. four hundred years later. Here is a synthesis of
Professor Okun's position: given a massive particle. the only
quantity we should consider when talking about masses.
