GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

Support Thesis: There is additional, as yet unproven “dark matter” (an<br />

irrefutable thesis!).<br />

Consequence: The total mass of the universe is too large in order to<br />

explain its postulated expansion.<br />

Support Thesis: In order to explain the forces that are driving the galaxies<br />

apart, some kind of currently unprovable “dark<br />

energy” is assumed to exist (an irrefutable thesis!).<br />

Both auxiliary theses are by definition unverifiable and therefore<br />

scientifically impermissible. However, since the alternative would be to<br />

radically question the heretofore reliable theories of gravity, we prefer<br />

to seek refuge in using these argumentative crutches. 96<br />

For about a decade now, we have been collecting other, additional<br />

observations which also suggest that something is wrong with our concept<br />

of gravity.<br />

For example there is the unusual flight behavior of the space probes<br />

Pioneer 10 and 11, both of which were sent past the great outer planets<br />

and beyond our solar system in the 1970s. Until quite recently, both<br />

satellites sent signals back to earth, and these signals allowed us to determine<br />

their locations. Based on these locations, it became clear that<br />

the probes were moving away from the sun more slowly than calculations<br />

had predicted. Astronomers then suspected that something really<br />

was amiss with our concept of gravity. For this reason, scientists are<br />

now planning to launch a probe into deep space specifically constructed<br />

in order to measure gravity there. 97<br />

And then there is the case of the Russian physicist Evgeni Podkletnov,<br />

who in the mid 1990s, in a Finnish research laboratory conducting<br />

experiments with high temperature superconductors, coincidentally<br />

observed an effect that really should not have occurred.<br />

Podkletnov rotated, at high speed, discs through which electricity was<br />

flowing under conditions of superconductivity. By coincidence he happened<br />

to notice that objects placed above the rotating superconducting<br />

discs were losing weight. When he first released the reports on his research<br />

concerning the creation of gravity beams, this did not lead to a<br />

sensation but rather to his shunning. In fact, he even lost his position for<br />

a time, thanks to a campaign of character assassination. However, since<br />
