The Olympia conference Frontiers of Fundamental Physics was a
gathering of about hundred scientists who carryon their research in
conceptually important areas of physical science (they do
"fundamental physics"). Most of them were physicists, but also
historians and philosophers of science were well represented. An
important fraction of the participants could be considered
"heretical" because they disagreed with the validity of one or
several fundamental assumptions of modern physics. Common to all
participants was an excellent scientific level coupled with a
remarkable intellectual honesty: we are proud to present to the
readers this certainly unique book. Alternative ways of considering
fundamental matters should of course be vitally important for the
progress of science, unless one wanted to admit that physics at the
end of the XXth century has already obtained the final truth, a
very unlikely possibility even if one accepted the doubtful idea of
the existence of a "final" truth. The merits of the Olympia
conference should therefore not be judged a priori in a positive or
in a negative way depending on one's refusal or acceptance,
respectively, but considered after reading the actual of basic
principles of contemporary science, new proposals and evidences
there presented. They seem very important to us.
