Quantum energetics is based on new fundamental discoveries of quantum of space-time (quanton) and superstrong electromagnetic interaction (SEI) made by Vladimir Leonov in 1996. On the basis of new fundamental discoveries the theory of Superunification of fundamental interactions of electromagnetism, gravitation, nuclear and electroweak forces is completed. It is important that new fundamental discoveries have the widest practical application ...
