One of the founders of Quantum Mechanics once said: "Oh, I don't like this Solid State Physics -he takes PRIMITIVE Models and describes them real crystals [1]." But it was Solid Physics that helped to understand that Quantum Mechanics itself is built on PRIMITIVE, and not on INVARIANT Models. And it helped, thereby, and to solve some cosmological problems [2].During my conversation with Professor Lev Termen, who, being late for the beginning, sat down with me and asked about previous reports, before his personal speech at the Big Scientific Council of the Ioffe Institute of the Academy of Sciences [3], he dropped a few remarks on the main scientific reports of previous speakers. That, they say, they did this with AF Ioffe half a century ago, right after Lenin signed them a decree on the creation of our institute
