“As regards the situation of the violation of the basic right of scientific freedom in the field of theoretical
physics, nothing has changed since December 2001, the commencement of our distribution to selected addressees.
At least we did find in an editorial remark by GvR in the FAS (18.8.02) the auspicious recognition:
“Wissenschaft lebt von der Kritik.” [Science lives from criticism].
Such great insight is also welcomed by the critics of theoretical physics, although they have been waiting for 80
years on the natural basis required for such criticism, namely rational debate, in vain. A logical interpretation of the
aforementioned expression is seen as being:
Without criticism science is dead.
How long must the critics of the special theory of relativity still wait until the application of your statement on
criticism, particularly when the “best-confirmed theory of physics” supposedly believes it has nothing to fear?”

Extract:
“Please find everything else, dear Mr. MacLean, enclosed. We have decided to approach you, as a lawyer and
judge and former activist for AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL and currently Director of the “German Institute for
Human Rights“ in the assumption that you will not become typically stiff with horror when you hear criticism of the
holiest theory of physics. We place great trust in your integrity and in your commitment on behalf of the rights of
the weak and the suppressed and therefore respectively request that you check our documentation for its soundness
and, in the event of a positive result of this examination, that you try to stimulate free public discussion of the
problems uncovered in our documentation. For purposes of your journalistic work you can make use of the texts
sent to you by us at your discretion.
We need not explain to you what consequences it can have when in a branch of the natural sciences every bit of
criticism is suppressed for more than eight decades, the very existence of significant criticism is denied, the critics
are slandered and socially excluded and the public is deceived as to the true status of a supposed fundamental and
best-verified theory. What is at stake is no more and no less than the basic right of scientific freedom in the field of
research and teaching, and the false maintenance of the facade of a theory, because since 1922 academic physics
has “pokered” too high and this loss cannot be publicly admitted without a catastrophic loss of face. Our
documentation uncovers the trap of a supposedly “gigantic” success that wasn’t a success at all, and our project
therefore demands free public discussion of the conditions existing in the academic field of theoretical physics and
of the true status of the special theory of relativity.”

“Dear Mr. Richter
we respectfully refer you to your review of
Rees, Martin: “Das Rätsel unseres Universums. Hatte Gott eine Wahl?”
[The Puzzle Of Our Universe. Did God Have A Choice?]

in the SZ (10.1.04) and your criticism reported therein of certain ideas of official physics, as a consequence of
which we see it as possible that you will not become typically stiff with horror when you hear of criticism of the
holiest theory of physics.
Since with the year 2005 the centenary celebrations for the special theory of relativity are pending and the entire
educated world believes that it knows that this theory is one of the best-verified theories of physics; the propaganda
of the field of academic physics extending to all social classes and age groups, from the nursery schools (“With
Uncle Albert Through Space and Time”) via the esoterics (who are planning their own time travel) and the seniorgrade
pupils (who in the no-less-esoteric special courses in physics have to calculate how many years younger the
twin brother who has travelled in space returns to his twin brother who has remained on the earth) to the half-
