An almost forgotten breakthrough in cosmic science. Prof. Ioan-Iovitz Popescu, predicted in 1982 the smallest particles in our ether, the so-called etherons. They amount in number to about 10122 in the Universe and are of a size of 10-35 m and have a weight of 10-69 kg. This booklet presents the original copy of that historic 1982 document in Romanian language. Naturally this document, written in one of the tightest communistic countries, was not accepted at its desired level by the mainly Anglo-Saxon world of physical sciences. The first confirmation of the etheron came in the article of N. Ionescu-Pallas in 2003 in his Reflections Concerning the Genuine Origin of Gravitation where he pointed out that the term "etheron," and the previous formula of mass were, for the first time, proposed by the Romanian physicist Popescu, when the compliance between the ether concept and the General Relativity Theory was by no means evident. By this remarkable intuition, Popescu turns out to be a forerunner of the kind of gravitational theory we enter upon in this scientific work. For that reason the publications of the original article is presented in its entire scope.
