Abstract

One must distinguish between the problems of a local unified theory of elementary particles, which are quite popular now because of the discovery of a multitude of particles and excited states—resonance —and the problems of a (super-) unified theory that tries to account for gravitation and cosmological features of the real universe. Up to now there have been only a few attempts in the second direction, chiefly because of the conviction (or superstition?) that the cosmological conditions of the universe as a whole are rather irrelevant for the processes of the microworld.
