I have put on the WEB page http://web.tiscalinet.it/ulissedicorpo/sintropy.htm the book Syntropy which I wrote in 1996 and have now translated into English.

Syntropy is a work of fiction which tells about the birth of a new vision of life, in which science and religion, the material and the spiritual worlds are unified.

The term Syntropy was coined by Luigi Fantappié, one of the major Italian mathematicians, in 1942 when he presented the unified theory of the physical and biological world. This theory was published in 1944 in a volume which describes the existence of a level which is symmetrical to entropy. Shortly after von Bertalanffy, father of the General System Theory, showed the existence of the neg-entropy and Ilya Prigogine of the thermodynamics of dissipative systems. Fantappié started from principles of the relativistic and quantistic physics to show that the equation of D'Alembert, which governs the propagation of waves, could be solved in two ways: delayed potentials and anticipated potentials. Delayed potentials describe waves diverging from a source located in the past. Anticipated potentials describe waves converging towards a source located in the future. Physicists had recognized only the delayed potentials, as they had a clear causal significance, while the anticipated potentials were not considered to exist in nature. Fantappié showed that the anticipated potentials correspond to a new type of phenomena, which he called syntropic. These phenomena were identified with life, whereas the delayed potentials, corresponding to the physical and chemical phenomena, are entropical. Fantappié showed that all entropical phenomena are determined by diverging waves, with a cause in the past, while the syntropical phenomena follow converging waves attracted by sources located in the future. Heddington stated that entropy forces time to move from the past to the future, Feyman and Fantappié (1949) showed that syntropy inverts the arrow of time, and lets information move from the future to the past. When the system follows only the diverging entropical waves we have a mechanical system, which works according to the principles of cause-effect, determined by the past. When the system follows the laws of converging syntropic waves, the signs of the equations change and we have a living system, which tends towards the future, moved by the future.

The introduction of syntropy leads science to a revolution which is comparable to that of Galileo. Unifying physics, chemistry and biology it broadens science to include those topics which were the competence of religion and metaphysics.
