  Preface The Sixth Marcel Grossmann Meeting (MG6) took place at the Kyoto International Conference Hall, Kyoto, Japan, June 23~29, 1991, with the sponsorship of the Science Council of Japan, the Physical Society of Japan as the domestic organizing bodies and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, IUPAP, as the international organizing body. Although the preparation of MG6 generally followed the international tradition of the Marcel Grossmann Meeting, it also followed various domestic formalities because the Science Council of Japan is a part of the government body. The opening ceremony started at 9.00 am on Monday. After the announcement of opening by H. Sato, the Chairman of MG6, Fang Li Zhi gave a speech representing the IUPAP. As a scholar involved in the 1989 Tienanmen crackdown, he mentioned an important contribution of MG3 in promoting the free circulation of scientists. Then, following the welcome addresses by J. Kondo, President of the Science Council of Japan, and T. Ishii, President of the Physical Society of Japan, representing the domestic sponsors, a welcome message by the Japanese Prime Minister T. Kaifu was read. Presentation of the Marcel Grossman Awards is now customary. This time, the recipients were Minoru Oda and Stephen Hawking for the Individual Awards and the Research Institute of Theoretical Physics (Hiroshima) for Institutional Award. They received a replica of the TEST sculpture, the symbol of the Grossmann Meeting, from Italian Senator L. Saporito. The scientific program continued until Saturday afternoon. There was an excursion on Wednesday afternoon. The number of registered participants was 535 from 34 countries, including 44 accompanying persons. There were 425 papers presented, including 45 invited talks. Among the 385 contributed papers, 95 of them were presented orally and the rest were presented by posters. Most of the papers presented are compiled in these Proceedings. Presentations by posters and discussions at poster sessions were introduced for first time in the series of Marcel Grossmann Meeting. We chose a photograph of Einstein taken in Kyoto during his visit in 1922 for the MG6 poster. Enthusiasm toward Einstein and Cosmology from the general public of Japan has been strong in the last few years. One of the reason was that NHK, Japanese public broadcasting corporation, had broadcast a series of programs on the universe and Einstein. Under the auspices of MG6, the public lectures of S. Hawking and D. Gross were organized in Tokyo and Kyoto by the NTTdata Corporation. During the meeting, some artwork of Attilio Pierelli, including the original TEST, were exhibited in the National Gallery of Modern Art, Kyoto. This conference was made possible with the cooperation of many people and financial support from many foundations and corporations. We thank them for their hard work and support, without which a prestigious sponsorship by the Science Council of Japan would not be given and the fund raising from corporations would have been impossible. On February 5th of 1992, Satio Hayakawa suddenly passed away at the age of sixty-eight. He is one of the recipients of the Grossmann Meeting Awards. As the Chairman of C19 (astrophysics) of IUPAP, he promoted the plan to have MG6 in Kyoto. His strong support had contributed to a smooth preparation of MG6 which was not only in terms of gaining a reputation in the scientific community of Japan, but also fund raising. In spite of his heavy burden as the president of Nagoya University, he even attended part of the conference. Satio Hayakawa's contribution was not limited to his pioneering researches in cosmic rays, high energy astronomy and infrared astronomy among others. He had actively played an important role in creating new fields of research in Japan, such as space science, nuclear fusion, high energy physics and so on. For the last couple of years, he strongly advocated a project of gravitational waves detection by laser interferometer, which is one of the major subjects of the Grossmann Meeting. With his effort, this project has succeeded in getting a grant (1991-1994) from the Grantin-Aid on Priority Area of Ministry of Education and Science in Japan. Regrettably, the detection of gravitational waves had remained his last dream. Humitaka Sato, Chairman Conference Organizing Committee of Sixth Marcel Grossmann Meeting
