Giuseppe Arcidiacono was an Italian physicist
Physicist
A physicist is a scientist who studies or practices physics. Physicists study a wide range of physical phenomena in many branches of physics spanning all length scales: from sub-atomic particles of which all ordinary matter is made to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole...

Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of quantity, space, structure, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proofs, which are arguments sufficient to convince other mathematicians of their validity...

"Giuseppe Arcidiacono, born in 1927 and recently died in 1998, was one of the most brilliant Italian Physics Mathematics of the second postwar period. His most important contribution concerns a general method for the construction of unified field theories in physics...
Since then, physicists have tried, without much success, to repeat the firm Maxwell, looking for a single unified theory and ultimately that was supposed to merge into a single entity, in addition to the electric field and magnetic field, all other fields Known in physics, from gravity to the nuclear industry. The great idea of Arcidiacono, in this respect has been to abandon a priori looking for a unique and definitive theory, to focus, instead, on how to build an entire class of unified theories, arranged in hierarchical order, in so that every theory is the generalization, or perfection, than immediately before. The construction method proposed by him was obtained through a thorough analysis of the logical transition from classical mechanics of Newton to Einstein's Relativity Restricted. This method has enabled him to build two successive generalizations of Restricted Relativity, known as projective Relativity and Relativity Compliant. In the first field is unified with the hydrodynamic field and the second is the unification of the electromagnetic field, as the hydrodynamic and gravitational."
