Florentin Smarandache

Florentin Smarandache (born the December 10th 1954 with Bălceşti, Judeţ de Vâlcea, Romania) is a mathematician, writer, and Universitaire roumano - American French-speaking.

He is a dissenting mathematician. That means that its work is rejected by the international mathematical community. It is thus a misunderstood genius, or, under another point of view, a scientific low-weight agitator. Florentin Smarandache says victim of a scientific Maffia .

It published Fourth International Anthology one Paradoxism (which contain a hundred writers of the whole world) and also Third International Anthology one Paradoxism (towards paradoxists of forty poets) Oradea, Romania, 2000.

Logic

It generalized logics fuzzy, intuitive, paraconsistante, plurivalent and logic dialetheist with neutrosophic logic (also called Smarandache logic, in Dictionary off Computing, Denis Howe); same manner, it generalized the fuzzy unit with the unit neutrosophic. He proposed the extension of the traditional and vague probabilities to the “neutrosophic probability”, as a three-dimensional vector whose components are subsets of the interval not-standard] - 0, 1+

The fusion of information

Since 2002, he works with French, Dr. Jean Dezert of the National office of Aeronautical Searchs for Paris on the fusion of information, extending the Dempster-Shafer Theory to a new theory of fusion of plausible information and paradoxist (called Théorie Dezert-Smarandache).

Physics

In physics, it put forth the discussed assumption which there does not exist any barrier speed in the universe, i.e. speed would be infinite (the Smarandache assumption in Dictionary off Physics, Eric Weisstein).

Philosophy

In philosophy, it introduced the concept of “neutrosophie”, like a generalization of dialectical of Hegel, which are the base of its research in mathematics and economy, among which neutrosophic logic, the unit neutrosophic, the neutrosophic probability, the neutrosophic statistics.

Literature

In the literature and art, it founded, in 1980, the current of avant-garde “the paradoxism”, a protest against totalitarianism. The paradoxism is the excessive use of contradictions, the antitheses, the discrepancies, will oxymorons, the paradoxes. It introduced “the worms paradoxist”, “the worms tautological”, “the worms dual”.

It carries out literary experiments in the dramatic part Patria de Animale (Country of animals) where there is no dialog; in O lume întoarsă EP back the sequences are permuted, by creating innumerable distinct plays.

Its parts were put in scene in Romania (the Theater I.D.Sârbu de Petroşani, the Theater Thespis de Timişoara) in Germany (Karlsruhe) in Morocco (Casablanca, where Patria de Animale obtained the Special price of the International jury).

The libraries of Arizona State University (Temple) and University off Texas (Austin) preserve manuscripts, reviews, books, photographs, cassettes, vidéos on its activity, in two special collections, called The Florentin Smarandache Papers.
