For more detail, refer either to the book (Fractal Space-Time and Microphysics, World Scientific, 1993), or to a more recent (1996) review paper, or the popular books (in french) "La relativité dans tous ses états" (Hachette, 1998, Paris, 319 pp.) and "Les arbres de l'évolution" (L.

The method: The formalism developed for ScR is already sufficiently settled to be used "as is" to deal with a particular problem in many situations. The formalism and its consequences: The proofs/experimental and observational tests (Summary)
