We have long been advocating to the world about the importance of the relativistic effect in chemical phenomenon involving the heavy elements. Relativity is indispensable to modern quantum chemistry. Including both the electron-correlation effect and relativistic effect by using the Dirac equation as the fundamental equation, we are developing relativistic quantum chemistry as an ultimate theory.
