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

(4) <strong>The</strong> supposed findings <strong>of</strong> the scientists in 1967 with respect to security were perhaps true findings. <strong>The</strong><br />

supposed “findings” <strong>of</strong> the theory <strong>of</strong> relativity have been lies right from the start, for which reason the public<br />

criticism <strong>of</strong> the great luminaries and the informing <strong>of</strong> the public finally had to be forbidden as from 1922.<br />

(5) Complete correspondence in the lack <strong>of</strong> any control whatsoever by the public authorities - here until the<br />

local election campaign! <strong>The</strong> activities <strong>of</strong> the government authorities are naturally directed on principle against the<br />

citizens, if it must be feared that they might disturb the peace enjoyed by the authorities and disclose the<br />

unwillingness or the inability <strong>of</strong> the authorities to act. Instead <strong>of</strong> exposing and pursuing the breaches <strong>of</strong> law, the<br />

government authorities prefer to remain buddies <strong>of</strong> the lawbreakers for as long as possible.<br />

(6) Statements made by critics, with their unwanted assessments, are simply eliminated by opposing, acceptable<br />

assessment <strong>of</strong> the directors, as always. <strong>The</strong> scientific correctness is decided <strong>of</strong> the basis <strong>of</strong> positions <strong>of</strong> power, in the<br />

one case as in the other.<br />

(7) <strong>The</strong> Asse scientists appear to have forgotten, however, to bring the press into line. On the other hand, the<br />

three sources reported nothing about the state <strong>of</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> the population and the behaviour <strong>of</strong> the media during<br />

the 40 years. <strong>The</strong> disclosure, that the breakthrough had been brought about by the local election campaign, is too<br />

vague. <strong>The</strong>re is still a need here for further research.<br />

(8) <strong>The</strong>se parallels are still more gripping. In Asse the authorities are now at least attempting to divert the brine<br />

around the nuclear waste. Could there be a better picture <strong>of</strong> the situation? In theoretical physics the criticism <strong>of</strong> the<br />

theoretical rubbish has been effectively diverted since 1922.<br />

(9) Result: <strong>The</strong> structural parallels are many and clearly apparent. <strong>The</strong> temporal and human dimensions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

relativity catastrophe have not, however, been reached in Asse, fortunately.<br />

2012<br />

<strong>The</strong> Result <strong>of</strong> the Comparisons<br />

<strong>The</strong> comparisons provide interesting results for the evaluation <strong>of</strong> the relativity catastrophe. Many structural and<br />

intrinsic parallels to the other typical national scandals are clear:<br />

(1) <strong>The</strong> breach <strong>of</strong> the law and violation <strong>of</strong> the ordinances.<br />

(2) Long periods <strong>of</strong> secrecy vis-à-vis the public.<br />

(3) In the cases involving government authorities, disinterest extending to downright refusal to exercise their<br />

control functions. Instead, making deals with the lawbreakers up until the last possible moment.<br />

(4) <strong>The</strong> sheer incredibility <strong>of</strong> the cases <strong>of</strong> fraud protects the cheaters from detection, because there are certain<br />

cases <strong>of</strong> fraud that no one considers possible.<br />

(5) <strong>The</strong> pattern <strong>of</strong> the double swindle or multiple swindle, in which the first swindle has to be covered up by a<br />

second swindle. Here it can even be the second fraud that can prove to be decisive for the scandal.<br />

(6) One parallel is surprising: the subject matter <strong>of</strong> the scandal is normally known to a limited circle <strong>of</strong> affected<br />

persons over a period <strong>of</strong> years! In all such cases there is an informed milieu. Anyone interested in discovering the<br />

conditions in a field <strong>of</strong> activities, need only keep his or her ears open. <strong>The</strong>re is therefore no need for special,<br />

anonymous informers, who divulge their information as “whistleblowers” on the telephone or meet with investigators<br />

in multi-storey car parks. Everyone informed is aware <strong>of</strong> the situation for years - but the public is not informed.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are two characteristics that appear to significantly distinguish the relativity catastrophe: the impressive<br />

period <strong>of</strong> 85 years; and the successful bringing-into-line <strong>of</strong> the press and <strong>of</strong> the entire educational system. Both are<br />

excellent examples <strong>of</strong> top performance by the physicists.<br />

In terms <strong>of</strong> human dimension (12 million people) the relativists are perhaps only matched or exceeded by the<br />

bankers, who for their part are top-ranked when it comes to material damage.<br />

A particularly interesting question in connection with scandals is: Who or what triggered the scandals and by<br />

what means? <strong>The</strong> concrete triggers were<br />

- in the credit swindle <strong>of</strong> the banks: the inability <strong>of</strong> the mortgagor to pay;<br />

- in the Telekom bugging affair: the change <strong>of</strong> personnel in the management board and the invoice <strong>of</strong> a firm<br />

for the “investigation”;<br />

- in the Siemens bribery scandal: <strong>The</strong> investigations <strong>of</strong> the public prosecutors have been continuing for years,<br />

recently reinforced by the demands <strong>of</strong> the US stock-exchange supervisory board; a single trigger has so far not been<br />

given in the reporting;<br />
