WORKS BY DR. JOSE ALVAREZ LOPEZ

I have often mentioned in my writings the works by Dr. Jose Alvarez Lopez,
now you have them here untranslated by me but written in English by their
author himself. Here you will find that many of his works reflect the
relativistic viewpoint, but do not be discouraged by this.  Dr. Alvarez
Lopez has found that many currently-accepted relativistic viewpoints are
MISTAKES!  This opens a door to both relativists and antirelativists to
verify what is right and wrong at both General and Special Relativity (and,
of course, to jump at each others' throats!), such as he shows in "The
Meaning of the Clock Paradox" and "Relativistic Dimensional Analysis". If
you want to see new devices, you have two here: (a)  A new flying device at
"Self-Propulsion", which patent was finally denied by the Argentine Patent
Office on the grounds that it "contradicted the Principle of Action and
Reaction" (Dr. Alvarez Lopez has commented on his invention: "This was, of
course, its purpose); and (b)  A different kind of particle accelerator that
possessed new features not used at any other over the world yet (see "New
Particle Accelerator"), he planned to use it for achieving fusion but the
necessary backing never materialized.  Now both of these devices are for
you! If you have thought that the venerable James Clerk Maxwell explained
all there is about electromagnetism you are in for a surprise in "On the
Inexistence of Electronic Inertia in Metallic Conductors" (which includes
"New Electronic Micrometer") where it is explained an until-now hidden
aspect of electricity.  This is further amplified in "Gravitational
Interference in the Einstein Effect", where the first steps are given
towards the control of gravity. I have left for the end my favorite, the
Metric Theorems.  When Peter Tompkins wrote his "Secrets of the Great
Pyramid", he included in Chapter XX, "Temple of Secret Initiation", Alvarez
Lopez's analysis of the coffer within the so-called "King's Chamber"; but
forgot to tell his readers on the theorems that were included at the same
then-referenced book (Fisica y Creacionismo").  You have the theorems plus
more complementary and useful data in "The Principle of Variational
Homogeneity"; whichever work is referenced there and you do not see included
in this book is because its contents are disseminated at "Relativistic
Dimensional Analysis" and "The Meaning of the Clock Paradox", but condensed.
The original works are not available in full translated into English, but
the core and the main data is where I said. If you are an Euclideanist and
are worried by the demonstrability of the second metric theorem, because
during your early-schooldays you were forbidden to add lengths with surfaces,
and both of them with volumes, I suggest you to disregard this worry. 
Because lines and planes are reduced to a single unit in the Euclidean
system: The Point.  Space is said to be filled by infinite planes, which are
formed ultimately by points. Thus, adding lengths (measured by straight
lines formed by a sequential alignment of points) with surfaces (formed by
planes which are composed by points) and volumes (formed in the Euclidean
system by infinite planes, these ultimately constituted by infinite points)
is not only possible but a logical corollary to the basic Euclidean axioms.
That good old Euclid indicated an infinity of points at straight lines,
surfaces formed by planes and space occupied by planes, is another matter
altogether.  His axioms do not involve experimentation, they are accepted
without asking for proof of their correctness.  He never indicated what a
point actually is!, for example. Anybody replacing the point by another
concept, and backing it with experimentally-reproducible proofs, has not
only made it better than Euclid himself but also has the possibility of
making "impossible things" to the common mathematician. Well, enough of my
personal opinion.  Dr. Alvarez Lopez welcomes letters and the mailing of
technical materials to his working place.  Be polite and concise in your
letters (write readable, type if possible) for he is a busy man and it is
necessary in this case to go straight into the core of the matter.  You can
send your letter as follows: Dr. Jose Alvarez Lopez Instituto de Estudios
Avanzados Jujuy 392 (5000) Cordoba, ARGENTINA Dr. Alvarez Lopez does not
receive any royalty from the sale of this work, any money he is due to is,
instead, replaced by works published/sold by BSRF which he uses to extend
the scope of his research into so-far-untouched-by-him realms of
investigation. Buenos Aires, March 19, 1990.
