“For the first time it is proven that since 1922, in the field <strong>of</strong> theoretical physics in Germany, freedom <strong>of</strong> science<br />
has been done away with by suppression and defamation <strong>of</strong> the criticism <strong>of</strong> the special theory <strong>of</strong> relativity by the<br />
field <strong>of</strong> academic physics, a situation that has lasted up to the present day. This represents a break by physics with<br />
tradition in that it no longer informs the public objectively, but hoodwinks it as to the true status <strong>of</strong> the theory. Until<br />
now - strangely enough - this occurrence and the consequent status has not been noticed by any science sociologist<br />
or science historian or scientific journalist and has therefore not been reported to the public.”<br />

“Dear Sir/Madam<br />
We hereby allow ourselves to draw your attention to our above-mentioned documentation in which we prove<br />
several circumstances that have not previously been made known to the public:<br />
<strong>1.</strong> “For the first time it is proven that since 1922, in the field <strong>of</strong> theoretical physics in Germany, freedom <strong>of</strong><br />
science has been done away with by suppression and defamation <strong>of</strong> the criticism <strong>of</strong> the special theory <strong>of</strong> relativity<br />
by the field <strong>of</strong> academic physics, a situation that has lasted up to the present day. This represents a break by physics<br />
with tradition in that it no longer informs the public objectively, but hoodwinks it as to the true status <strong>of</strong> the theory.<br />
Until now - strangely enough - this occurrence and the consequent status has not been noticed by any science<br />
sociologist or science historian or scientific journalist and has therefore not been reported to the public. [...]<br />
3. Our documentation proves for the first time that the strong tradition <strong>of</strong> criticism <strong>of</strong> the theory since 1908,<br />
right up to the present day, has not become known to the public due to the consequent suppression and defamation<br />
<strong>of</strong> every bit <strong>of</strong> criticism, and that the criticism made has not been refuted. For this reason the special theory <strong>of</strong><br />
relativity is unfoundedly presented to the public as a best-proven theory, which could obviously only be claimed<br />
after the successful refutation <strong>of</strong> the criticism made <strong>of</strong> it. Our documentation shows, in Chapter 2, approx. 130<br />
theoretical errors that have not even been discussed by the relativists because they have prevented the reception <strong>of</strong><br />
the critical publications. What has not been discussed cannot be regarded as refuted. [...]<br />
5. Our documentation shows that since 1922, in the field <strong>of</strong> academic teaching, in popular-science publications<br />
and in the schoolbooks, a completely uncritical adoption <strong>of</strong> the propaganda <strong>of</strong> relativity has been organized; a pure<br />
personality cult with trading in devotional trinketry and triumphal rejoicing. Misusing all <strong>of</strong> the instruments <strong>of</strong><br />
enforcement at its disposal and through unrestrained defamation, the physics establishment suppresses every bit <strong>of</strong><br />
criticism <strong>of</strong> the theory. <strong>The</strong> field <strong>of</strong> science history, and in particular the history <strong>of</strong> physics, pretends to know<br />
nothing about this scandalous state <strong>of</strong> affairs or about the situation which has meanwhile lasted for more than eight<br />
decades.<br />
