Area 02 – Scienze fisiche

The “International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies” (IYL 2015) is a global initiative, adopted by the United Nations to raise awareness about how optical technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to worldwide challenges in areas such as energy, education, communications, health, and sustainability. But for theoretical Physics there is the double anniversary of Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR); moreover the double wave/particle nature of light crosses entirely Physics from time of Newton and Huygens and arrives at the fundamental questions of Quantum Mechanics (QM). In EJTP we have therefore decided to organize our special issue on the Year of Light (IYL), by calling the community of theoreticians for reflecting about the issues which could be at today the subject of the Einstein-Bohr contention: black holes, the structure of “empty space”, the nature of relativistic symmetries, and of course the entanglement and the non-locality.
