This attitude has on the one side almost totally discouraged
the production of free critical thought, and on
the other side has crystallized the foundations of established
Physics in a system of dogmatic immobility - a
situation which forced many intellectuals (not only
physicists) to understand scientific knowledge as a kind
of "religion" (a thought system in which beliefs cannot
be checked by laymen, or not even really "understood"

"Even today, things are continuing in this manner,
as far as leading scientific journals are concerned, but
the increasing diffusion of the Internet has allowed
greater freedom of expression and communication, and
this has supported the acquisition of unconventional
news and points of view, thus showing that discomfort
towards the actual establishment's philosophy of Nature
and of Science is rather widespread. In this page,
we offer some interesting examples of this "resistance",
which becomes more and more worth of attention, the
more some investigations could lead to unexpected and
very positive practical consequences ..."

Der Herausgeber präsentiert zum Abschluß der ersten 3
Jahre der halbjährlichen Zeitschrift "Episteme", die sowohl
gedruckt erscheint als auch online veröffentlicht
wird, ein Sonderheft (Nr. 6, Teil 2), das ganz der Kritik
der Relativitätstheorien gewidmet ist. Er berichtet von
sich selbst (in der dritten Person), wie er als Mathematiker
zur Kritik der herrschenden Physik gekommen ist:
"He used to teach modern formalistic mathematics,
telling his students - as it is usual under these circumstances
- that the highly sophisticated approach they
were called to follow (since the very foundations), was
necessary, due to the "well known" great achievements
of physical research at the beginning of XXth Century.
Most teachers roughly satisfy the need of motivations
in this way, but the editor decided, at some point of his
career, to study with more attention the previous statement,
in order to be able to persuade better (mostly
himself!) that the renunciation to intuition, which was
demanded by the formalistic approach to the "nature"
of mathematical objects, was rather justified, and wise -
notwithstanding his long personal teaching experience,
which, quite at the contrary, had shown very clearly to
him that mathematics could have been taught in a quite
simpler way by using at the beginning the intuition of
ordinary space (euclidean geometry, measuring, real
numbers) and time (arithmetics, counting, natural numbers,
order), instead of abstract structures. So he went

on studying the physical connection, analysing in some
detail the famous historical experiments, which led
people such as Feynman to claim that "classical" explanations
were "absolutely impossible".
When he started this research he was quite sure that
he would have found all in perfect order, and that he
would have come back to his beloved pure mathematics
in a very short time: but 20 and more years have elapsed
since then, and he has found himself more and more
sinking into a deep bog, and he was persuaded at last
that the "magnificence", and the experimental ground,
of some theories as relativity, or quantum mechanics
(in its widespread "irrational" Copenhagen interpretation)
was more an effect of propaganda, rather than of
objective science (namely, a science which is based on
certain experimental data, and deductions), or of logical
"impossibilities".
This persuasion of the necessity of a new literal revolution,
of the restoration of ordinary rationality in
Natural Philosophy, appears - we would dare say - a
common thread connecting the papers collected in this
volume, wholly dedicated to criticism and alternative
to the pillars of XXth Century physics, relativity, relativistic
cosmology, etc.."
Formuliert in Fußnote 11 sein Urteil über die akademische
Physik: "... it appears very unlikely that the
establishment would be willing to recognize that relativity
gave a quite misleading image of the universe, and
that they followed a completely wrong path for more
than 100 years."

"Introduction - We already had the opportunity to
describe, in the Letter... which opens this special number
of Episteme, the fundamental reasons which should
inspire a general criticism of relativity, or, better, of the
"philosophy" which was (and is) the ground of Einstein's
success. This paper is an attempt to analyse the strictly
physical (phenomenological) situation, in order to give
a suggestion where to look for possible experimental
falsifications of the theory (from now on SR, special
relativity [1]), in the conviction that this is the only
possible manner to show that the main assumption of
"abstract physics" supporters is wrong: namely, that the
renouncing to ordinary space, time, causality, was not a
"nihilistic caprice", but a necessity forced by facts.
This analysis is not so easy as it could appear, since
