Justbefore the preliminary programof Orbis Scientiae 1998 went to
press the news in physics was suddenly dominated by the discovery
that neutrinos are, after all, massive particles. This was
predicted by some physicists including Dr. Behram Kusunoglu, who
had apaper published on this subject in 1976 in the Physical
Review. Massive neutrinos do not necessarily simplify the physics
of elementary particles but they do give elementary particle
physics a new direction. If the dark matter content ofthe universe
turns out to consist ofneutrinos, the fact that they are massive
should make an impact on cosmology. Some of the papers in this
volume have attempted to provide answers to these questions. We
have a long way to go before we find the real reasons for nature's
creation of neutrinos. Another neutrino-related event was the
passing of their discoverer, Fredrick Reines: The trustees of the
Global Foundation, members of the Orbis Scientiae 1998, dedicate
this conference to Fredrick Reines of the University of California
at Irvine. The late Professor Reines was a loyal and active member
of these series of conferences on the frontiers of physics and
cosmology since 1964. He also sewed as one of the trustees of the
Global Foundation for the past three years. Professor Reines
discovered the most elusive particle, the neutrino, in 1954. We are
proud to say that we recognized the importance of this discovery by
awarding him the J.
