Dear Zsolt,
I keep very much Hungarian people, including physicists, of course, in a very great esteem. As a statistical and condensed-matter playing Polish physicist, I prise very much that such physicists as Janos Kertesz or Tamas Vicsek, not mentioning here due to space limitation the other ones appeared to be under my very modest way.
Of course, I do understand your very from-soul-outflowing voice and opinion that … physics is everywhere. But … there is a little but, as you can expect.
Namely, that it is very obvious that all important technology starts from physics labs (noone does queston it!), or similar expression is valid here. High-tec labs are full of competent physicists, especially as far as quantum processes, and their applications are concerned; even though the ones concerning quantum computation are to be worth mentioning. Or, the ones coming from nowadays’ biomimetics, being a useful inspirations for every (bio)physicist.
At present, we cannot avoid any discouraging opinion coming from the so-called physics-challanging (or, “hating”) non-physical part of the EU society, not excluding the other non-European societies active at this demanding circumstance.
In my modest opinion, we have to be less allerting (let us at the moment get no big loud, please?) as has been demonstrated elsewhere, being, however, at the same time more challanging to all detail which came from our everyday truly demanding life. Thus, in my opinion, it is more worthy to underline in respective temporal conditions that thanks to a X machine/device, or fairly the same concept, designated so succesfully by Y, both of which seeming to work perfectly due to a system of laws denoted by Z, which all-in-all would not be the case when thanks to good luck at least some physicists, abbreviated by X1, Y1, Z1, etc., would not eventually, and of course decisively, come into such fruitful play!
As a final example, I was invited to the office of the mayor of some of first-ten cities in Poland, based on achievements that have been indicated by his officers-in-duty. Some of the universities’ heads have also been present therein. Most of us awarded, excluding myself, came, however, from non-physics, namely, they have belonged to the humanities mainly. Only one of the heads present during the meeting, amasingly coming from a quite humanistic university, was by his education and reaserch goal not a truly humanistic member. After those proclaimed awards being distributed amongst the awardees, he acertained: They – the awardees – are almost all not able to prolong our high-tec and technology tasks – who then will really seriously strive for doing it?
The only my answer would be as such: We have to be patient (and, ny no means even a bit arrogant) , and rely on what is really necessary to do because the only need of the human society will constitute our basic needs, and they then have to be materialized by such inventors as came from physics, and its very near surroundings. Therefore, dear Zsolt, as quoted below by your very from-soul-coming, or dedicated, statement: “Physics is everywhere. Physics is extremely useful. Physics is great fun. We know it and we are proud of it”, I have to confess: Yes, it is, but watch your/our proper time to enter and emphasize it.

Dear Dr. Fulop,

Your note has many contradiction aspects. Yes, physics is an important branch of the people community. However, owing to the severe bureaucracy and subjectivism some important disciplines became out of interest of the the European Physical Society. At the same time these disciplines are most interested to the people community who are not involved in physics. For instance, people with engineering, mathematical, IT education have asked me:

Please explain: 1) the origin of things, 2) what is the mechanism of low energy nuclear reactions, 3) the phenomenon of graviton – how does graviton appear at the micro scale? 4) what is beyond conventional quantum mechanics, i.e. why is it so strange, how to explain this? 5) what is spin of a particle? 6) what is mass? 7) what is electric charge? 8 ) can one draw a picture of the photon for me?; what is the shape and size of the photon? 9) what is our universe, i.e. what is it, what is its substance? 10) what is the origin of a scalar field that affects things, e.g. in structures like Egyptian pyramids? 11) how do crop circles emerge in fields, what are the reasons? 12) What are Kozyrev's rays that come from distant stars? Etc., etc.

So, people are interested in those physical phenomena that are out of interest of the European Physical Society. When I try to publish my papers that account for this or that phenomenon, my papers meet a strong resistance on the side of the editors.

Such behavior of the administrators of science undermines public confidence to physics in general. Where is the democracy in physical science? It seems it went away after the First Wold War, which is very very bad. Physics becomes more and more similar to the organization of mafia: We may accept only those who follow our ideas and principles. This is a road to nowhere. In my opinion, the European Physical Society should hold a special session on how to restore democracy in science.
