ResumoTo Elena Aleinikov who dedicated 34 years of her life to helping this discovery happen ABSTRACT Managing global economic developments with massive deployment of people and material resources requires not only a special kind of thinking (global vision, big picture), but also precise formulas for logistics and, therefore, a solid scientific foundation. To meet these global level calculation needs, Oscar Morgenstern over 50 years ago tried to create a theory of organization (Morgenstern, 1951), while Pobisk Kuznetsov, following the works of La Roche, offered a new branch of economy--physical economy (Kuznetsov, 1980). To help political and economic leaders in managing human and material resources, physical economy has already introduced two new laws of conservation with the measurements in the range of [L.sup.6][T.sup.-4] and [L.sup.6][T.sup.-6] which have been successfully used for transportation problem solving and long-range construction planning. This article is a short report on over 23 years of meticulous research and data analysis that finally led to the discovery of the next law of conservation. A new conservation law fills the gap in the Bartini/Kuznetsov system. It deals with the Conservation of Extencia--the term offered for the displacement, or linear extension of power: Ext = P x S = E x S/t = const. The range of measurement for Extencia is [L.sup.6][T.sup.-5]. A new unit for measuring the Extencia is called Alger (coined from the names of researchers involved in the discovery of the law Aleinikov + Gera = Alger). Time and place of discovery: October 16, 2006, Monterey, California. This law is applicable to all complex economic systems such as transportation, communication, construction, military operations and certainly must become a foundation for numerous calculations in strategic management. INTRODUCTION: A SHORT HISTORY OF RESEARCH Whether it is a case of strategic management, such as deployment of mass military forces to a distant region of the world or just a case of economic development of national transportation system, a scientific approach is a must. Science in a sense is the strategic management of the future. Organizational, technical, monetary, and managerial resources should be neither under delivered nor over delivered because the perspective of losing a war due to the lack of a proverbial nail in the horse shoe of the king's horse (under delivery) may be disastrous, but, on the other hand, the perspective of shooting a mosquito from a cannon (over delivery) may be economically expensive and politically damaging. A scientific approach saves human lives, natural and financial resources, time and prestige. No surprise that particularly big logistic movements on the strategic economical level, requiring lots of calculations, caused Oscar Morgenstern to offer his Prolegomena to the Theory of Organization (Morgenstern, 1951) and became the starting point for the science of Organization--Organizology (Aleinikov, 2004). Scientific reflection of the world and conservation laws (as the backbone of this scientific reflection) play an exclusive role not only in technology and education, but also in strategic management of the economic resources. As it was mentioned above, Kuznetsov offered a new branch of science--physical economy--to employ science in the issues of economical development. Note: Kuznetsov and Bartini, both belonging to the group of legendary constructor-generals, were less famous than Tupolev (Tu), Antonov (An), Mikoyan (Mi), and Sukhoy (Su), but they have made enormously powerful scientific discoveries that will shape the future. Two new conservation laws that put their names in the row of Kepler, Newton, and Maxwell are just an example. For more information about Kuznetsov and Bartini, see Wikipedia. The heuristic and explanatory power of conservation laws is tremendous. After being discovered and formulated (and many times rediscovered or restated see details at www. …
