Chapter 9: <strong>The</strong> Thought Experiment<br />

- the fear <strong>of</strong> the perpetrators <strong>of</strong> the propaganda to speak the truth, that there has been a criticism<br />

for almost 100 years, which is suppressed;<br />

- why may only be discussed what the powerful representatives <strong>of</strong> academic physics permit, in order<br />

to secure their group power?<br />

- have a go at it with the courage to support scientific freedom and public free discussion!”<br />

“Please find everything else, dear Mr. Bröckers, enclosed. As the author <strong>of</strong> a critical and combative book on the<br />

attack on Manhattan, we need not explain to you the peculiarity <strong>of</strong> the continuing suppression <strong>of</strong> every bit <strong>of</strong><br />

criticism <strong>of</strong> a certain physical theory for almost a hundred years now, or the significance <strong>of</strong> this swindle <strong>of</strong> the<br />

public as regards the true status <strong>of</strong> the theory and <strong>of</strong> the supposed revolutionary findings derived from its results, or<br />

<strong>of</strong> the devastating consequences for the state <strong>of</strong> public opinion.<br />

We would simply draw your attention to the fact that the critics denounced the swindle at a very early stage. In<br />

1925 Ernst Gehrcke spoke <strong>of</strong> mass suggestion, in 1931 Hans Israel and his two co-editors <strong>of</strong> the small book “100<br />

Autoren gegen Einstein” [100 Authors Against Einstein] denounced the “terror <strong>of</strong> the Einsteiners”, in 1930 there<br />

was Johan Hjort with his book “Keiserens nye klaer” (1932: “Des Kaisers neue Kleider” [<strong>The</strong> Emperor’s <strong>New</strong><br />

Clothes]), and in the decades since 1960, too, several Anglo-Saxon critics have not been afraid to speak directly <strong>of</strong><br />

swindle and nonsense, some <strong>of</strong> them distinguished authors: e.g. the Nobel-Prize winner Frederick Soddy and one<br />

<strong>of</strong> the fathers <strong>of</strong> the atomic-clock, Louis Essen. <strong>The</strong> tactic <strong>of</strong> the powers that be in physics, <strong>of</strong> sweepingly depicting<br />

all critics as stupid, anti-Semitic, Nazi, envious or otherwise malicious, is only a further lie to cover up the swindle<br />

<strong>of</strong> the public.”<br />

Extract:<br />

“<strong>The</strong> balance sheet <strong>of</strong> theoretical physics since 1922 is dreadfully successful: a basic right put out <strong>of</strong> force; a<br />

group <strong>of</strong> persons slandered and excluded from public life; the public twice deceived, namely as to the true status <strong>of</strong><br />

a theory and as to the cause <strong>of</strong> the deathly stillness in the specialist field; the general and the trade press brought<br />

into line to suppress criticism in the field <strong>of</strong> theoretical physics.<br />

Sometime or other the contrast should be noticed. In our society the secondary and primary sex characteristics<br />

<strong>of</strong> important and less-important personalities can be publicly scrutinized. A certain theory <strong>of</strong> physics, by contrast,<br />

must not be publicly criticized.”<br />

Extract:<br />

“Please find everything else, dear Mr. Eckolt, enclosed. As an author who has himself productively enriched the<br />

world <strong>of</strong> science fiction and has also addressed the topic <strong>of</strong> time travel (in keeping with the FAZ report <strong>of</strong> 3<strong>1.</strong><strong>1.</strong>02)<br />

and who himself builds on the freedom <strong>of</strong> fantasy and therefore certainly understands the importance <strong>of</strong> scientific<br />

freedom, we need not explain to you the peculiarity <strong>of</strong> the continuing suppression <strong>of</strong> every bit <strong>of</strong> criticism <strong>of</strong> a<br />

certain physical theory for almost a hundred years now, or the significance <strong>of</strong> this swindle <strong>of</strong> the public as regards<br />

the true status <strong>of</strong> the theory and <strong>of</strong> the supposed revolutionary findings derived from its results, or <strong>of</strong> the<br />

devastating consequences for the state <strong>of</strong> public opinion.”<br />
