peculiarity <strong>of</strong> the continuing suppression <strong>of</strong> every bit <strong>of</strong> criticism <strong>of</strong> a certain physical theory for almost a hundred<br />

CD-ROM <strong>1.</strong>2, STR Research Report No. 2 and 93 sample pages.<br />

Extract:<br />

“Please find everything else, dear Mr. Köppel, enclosed. We have read with interest your article “Die Arroganz<br />

der Eliten” [<strong>The</strong> Arrogance <strong>of</strong> the Elites] in DIE WELT (27.7.04), that in Germany has led to “devastation”, and<br />

we can report to you another case <strong>of</strong> devastation with the suppression <strong>of</strong> 95 years <strong>of</strong> criticism <strong>of</strong> the special theory<br />

<strong>of</strong> relativity (1908-2003), this having been organized right up to the present day by the elite amongst our scientists.<br />

Since, according to DER SPIEGEL (18.10.04) you are happily the “Don Quixote <strong>of</strong> the politically incorrect”, we<br />

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 certain physical<br />

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

the theory and the supposed revolutionary findings derived from its results, or <strong>of</strong> the devastating consequences for<br />

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

you would even be happy to clarify matters, we can, with the topic “Suppression <strong>of</strong> 95 Years <strong>of</strong> Criticism <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Special <strong>The</strong>ory <strong>of</strong> Relativity (1908-2003)”, make a proposal that would certainly cause a stir in the media,<br />

particularly in the year <strong>of</strong> our “new philosopher” and “new Copernicus-Galilei-<strong>New</strong>ton” - all such apostrophizations<br />

stem, by the way, from the pens <strong>of</strong> his fans, not from us! We assume that we need not explain to you the peculiarity<br />

<strong>of</strong> the continuing suppression <strong>of</strong> every bit <strong>of</strong> criticism <strong>of</strong> a certain physical theory for almost a hundred years now,<br />

or the significance <strong>of</strong> this swindle <strong>of</strong> the public as regards the true status <strong>of</strong> the theory and the supposed<br />

Should the long-continuing suppression <strong>of</strong> scientific freedom be no serious problem, then what could be?”<br />
