• Sommario/riassunto: This book summarizes the main scientific achievements of the blown-up theory of evolution science, which was first seen in published form in 1994. It explores - using the viewpoint and methodology of the blown-up theory - possible generalizations of Newtonian particle mechanics and computational schemes, developed on Newton's and Leibniz's calculus, as well as the scientific systems and the corresponding epistemological propositions, introduced and polished in the past three hundred years. The authors briefly explain the fundamental concepts, then analyze a series of topics and problems of t
