	Rudjer Boscovich Summary
		Boscovich attacked atomism, proposing instead that the universe was a plenum of thickening and thinning force concentrated in point-centers.
		Boscovich was born in the Republic of Ragusa, an independent republic at the time, as the seventh child of Nikola Bošković, a trader from Herzegovina; his mother, Paula Bettera, was an Italian noblewoman.
		Boscovich was selected to undertake an ambassadorship to London (1760), to vindicate the character of his native place and satisfy the government.

		Boscovich also gave many important contributions to astronomy, including the first geometric procedure for determining the equator of a rotating planet from three observations of a surface feature and for computing the orbit of a planet from three observations of its position.

		Rudjer Josip Boscovich (Croatian Ruđer Josip Bošković, Italian Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich) (May 18, 1711 - February 13, 1787), was a Croatian Jesuit, physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat and poet from Dubrovnik (then Ragusa).
		A dispute having arisen between the grand duke of Tuscany and the republic of Lucca with respect to the drainage of a lake, Boscovich was sent, in 1757, as agent of Lucca to Vienna, and succeeded in bringing about a satisfactory arrangement of the matter.
		He was invited by the Royal Society of London to undertake an expedition to California to observe the Venus transit in 1769 again, but this was prevented by the recent decree of the Spanish government of the expulsion of the Jesuits from its dominions.

		Boscovich’s talent for poetry was pronounced and his skill in writing it was improved by years of systematic cultivation; his remarkable grasp of the principles of mathematics, geometry most of all, had awakened his mind to original efforts in that realm; he was already engaged in the independent study of astronomy and physics.
		Boscovich generously said that Maire was exact both in his observations and calculations; that he was a profound scholar in mathematics and particularly in astronomy and geography; that he must be regarded as one of the great mean of his century.
		Boscovich was received by Madame de Pompadour, living then on the ground floor of the north wing of the Palace to which she had already been relegated for some years, while the King amused himself with teenagers in the Parc des Cerfs.

		"Boscovich's theory was 200 years ahead of its time and could not be properly appreciated until modern ideas on relativity and quantum theory had replaced the billiard - balls and elastic jellies of the last century." — we can read in 'New Scientist 6 March 1958'.
		Book of Boscovich 'Theoria Philosophiae Naturalis' (1758) developed a theory of matter as consisting of many dimensionless points, with the mutual attraction of any pair of points being some general function of the distance between them, represented by an oscillatory curve.
		Boscovich was that man. So, a theory more than two hundred years old and being like Modern Superstring theory is not too unreasonable.

		The existence of such particles was first proposed by Greek philosophers such as Democritus, Leucippus, and the Epicureans, but without any real way to be sure, the concept disappeared until it was revived by Rudjer Boscovich in the 18th century, and after that applied to chemistry by John Dalton.
		Rudjer Boscovich based his theory on Newtonian mechanics and published it in 1758 within his Theoria philosophiae naturalis redacta ad unicam legem virium in natura existentium.
		According to Boscovich, atoms are stuctureless points, which exhibit repelling and attracting forces on each other, depending on distance.
