Mohamed S. El Naschie, born 1943 in Cairo, Egypt. Well known for his E-infinity theory (Ref. 1,2,3,4) , sometimes called Cantorian space-time, which is the first theory that makes use of the concepts of Cantor set and golden ratio in high energy physics. The theory successfully predicted the accurate values of mass spectrum of elementary particles.

El Naschie received his entire education in West Germany (Hamburg and Hannover) and later on in England where he obtained his Ph.D. from the University College, London - U.K. He is a fellow of the Institute of Physics - England and a distinguised fellow – Frankfurt Institute for the Advancement of Fundamental Research, University of Frankfurt – Germany.

El Naschie was trained initially as an engineer and worked extensively in Structural Engineering and Applied Mechanics. After becoming full Professor of Engineering he followed his inclination towards theoretical subjects and moved first towards Applied Mathematics and later on Nuclear and High Energy Physics. His research interests include: Stability, Bifurcation. Atomic-engineering, Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos, Fractals, High Energy Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics and E-infinity theory. He is editor-in-chief of the Internatonal Journal of Chaos, Solitons and Fractals and associate editor of numerous learned journals.

In the framework of his theory, there’s a satisfactory interpretation for the Double-slit experiment. One of the startling conclusions of this experiment is that an indivisible quantum particle such as a photon traversing the two-slit screen can be said to have passed through both holes simultaneously.

The notion of an object or a point coexisting at two different spatially separated locations simultaneously is, of course, classically impossible and that is the essence of the paradoxical conclusions of the two-slit experiment and the origin of the particle-wave duality of quantum physics. Within Cantorian space-time a point could in some sense be said to occupy two different ‘locations’ at the same ‘time’. El Naschie says: Theoretical physicists are conservative by nature and it is important to be that way, but one also has to be open minded about things in maths which may seem at the beginning to be esoteric, such as the Cantor sets that I use….

El Naschie is Honorary Professor in Shanghai`s Jiao Tong University as well as the Donghua University in the People`Republic of China. He is advisor of the Egyptian Ministry for Science and Technology (High Energy Physics and Nanotechnology). He is also the principle advisor of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KACST - Riyadh) since many years.
