• The theory of Pantachikiniton of Benjamin Lesvios

  (Athens 2008, in Greek, ISBN 978-960-9836-00)

  

  This book is an invited contribution to the publication of a photo-generated copy of Benjamin's Lesvios manuscript of lectures in Physics volume-II.

• The theory of Pantachikiniton of Benjamin Lesvios ; From the aether of Kartesians to the universality and dualism of energy processes

  (Athens 2009, in Greek, ISBN 978-960-93146-4-0)

  

  In this book, we present the parts of the original text (as copied from the manuscripts) of Benjamin's lectures of Physics which refer to Benjamin's theory of Pantachikiniton (to be referred as PAN). We comment on these and conclude as follows:

  Within the theory of PAN, any physical phenomenon appears as a manifestation / demonstration of the existence of one and only one universal and uniquely defined physical quantity, the Pantachikiniton. This quantity is generated by the molecules/atoms of a body and has dynamic features which dictate either the energy transfer from one body to another (heat, sound, electric, magnetic, luminous energy) or the development of mutual interactions between bodies located far away from each other (gravitational, electric and magnetic forces). All these allow us to consider PAN as an early identification of the physical quantity which underlies any physical process and interaction. That is, Pantachikiniton is an early identification of the energy itself. As a consequence of this, PAN has the inherent property of universality. Gravity, Electric and magnetic fluids, as well as the heat and sound fluids take a unified description as they appear as manifestations of one and only one quantity, the Pantachikiniton, i.e., the energy.

• I was also present during the Big-Bang : The ingenuity of energy

  
  (pages 242, in Greek, Heraklion 2023 (2nd edition); electronic edition).
  

  
  

  In this book, the author unfolds an imaginary autobiography making use of the advantages offered by the science fiction novelist. In this way the author tries to highlight and start up a discussion about the metaphysical characteristics of the energy and in particular, those of its ingenuity and conscience as these emerge with the Big Bang. In conclusion: The author proposes that it is necessary, for metaphysical characteristics to be incorporated in the definition of energy. With such a proposed generalization, it may become possible to predict physical processes and provide answers for the cause and the ultimate purpose of the evolution of the universe.
