Boscovich provided a unified theory of point-particles, and this served as basis for Modern quantum mechanics. Applications of Boscovich’s theory to quantum problems, such as to Modern chemistry will be considered based on the work of Dragoslav Stoiljkovich. The works of Stoiljkovich having not been published very much in English, and thus has not been more widely known among English-speaking scientists. This author is now engaged in translating these works in corroboration with Stoiljkovich; works that highlight the modern work that is still being pursued based on Boscovich’s unified field theory. Also, briefly the work of Augustus Prince will be dealt with.

Modern physics has the problem of singularities which are zero dimensional points in space which when assigned mass then have infinite density, and this leads to the difficulty of not knowing how to handle infinity. However, in the conception of Boscovich’s theory an object can be treated as if all its mass were at its centre of gravity, effectively then treating mass as a dimension. This centre of gravity is then treated as the point-particle upon which everything else is built. Thus it could be deemed that the conception of modern physics is on the wrong track and the conception should be as per Boscovich’s unified theory. This study is based on recent translation of Boscovich’s book “The centre of gravity dissertation”, highlighting what was missed in modern physics development from Newton to early form of quantum physics under Boscovich.

Using an analysis from a physical and phenomenological viewpoint employing the renowned and recognized continuity of the Boscovich force curve, a new paradigm is formulated to explicate various physical phenomena in both the micro-world and the macro-world. Within this paradigm, an algorithm is established which produced a functional representation of the various atomic line spectra of hydrogen and the temperature dependent black-body energy distribution of radiation which compared very favorably with the experimental data. The Boscovichian points which are assumed to be endowed with certain characteristics move under the action of a force (acceleration) field that varies inversely proportional to the cube of the radius from the center of force which leads to an orbit described by an equiangular (logarithmic) spiral. This spiral consists of intercepts that correspond to stable and unstable points on the Boscovich curve. These intercepts are the roots of the equations employed and are described in the Pavia paper. Further representations also produced very favorable results for the photoelectric effect, (to be published). In addition, utilizing the shape of Boscovich’s “extended” curve of force, the prospect of the interpretation of the mysterious attractive and repulsive forces beyond the visible Newtonian region of space, often described in terms of “black holes”, “dark energy”, etc. is proposed. The recent LIGO experiments provides a means of using this extended Boscovich’s to analyze these results and is presented herein.

The mathematical expressions for the relative movement of two bodies at parallel and crosswise trajectories are developed. Some controversies concerning the validity of Hubble’s law, expanding Universe concept and Newton’s laws are discussed.

Boscovich proposed a unified theory in the 18^th century, from this theory both quantum physics and Einstein’s relativity was derived. Rather than look back at the history of how modern physics was developed, mainstream seems to go blindly onwards looking for a unified theory and ignoring this particular unified theory.
