In summary, older physicists still have relevant contributions to make in the field. While some may argue that younger scientists are better equipped to adapt to new technologies and research methods, the knowledge and experience of seasoned physicists cannot be discounted. They bring a wealth of expertise and understanding to complex problems and continue to make significant contributions to advancements in physics. Furthermore, their guidance and mentorship of younger generations is invaluable in shaping the future of the field. It is important to continue to value the insights and perspectives of older physicists in order to fully advance our understanding of the universe.

I am a retired university professor of theoretical physics, still scientifically active. Along my scientific carrier I published about 150 papers and 3 books. My interests were ranging over mathematical physics, relativistic quantum field theory, non-equilibrium ,statistical physics and solid-state theory. I enjoyed always to enter new areas and avoided to be a narrow "specialist". In this sense, I belong to a dying out species.
