1. The Need of New Approaches - Kritische Stimmen zur ...

Chapter 9: The Thought Experiment
people are required in their final years to calculate how many years younger the space-travelling twin returns to his
twin brother on the earth, they should really have nothing against these young people learning about the existence of
an uninterrupted criticism of the theory right up to the present day, and about the main points of criticism raised. If
independent and critical thinking, i.e. the often-beseeched responsible adult citizen, is to be an educational
objective then a rational examination of the criticism of the theory will certainly also be required. So far, however,
no criticism of the theory has appeared in the curricula or the schoolbooks. This is an anomaly that we wish to help
correct with our documentation.
With our documentation we believe that we have discovered something that has remained unknown to the
public, and thereby also to the curricula for the schools, right up to the present day, namely the suppression and
defamation of every bit of criticism of the theory of relativity by the field of academic physics since 1922. As a
consequence, the criticism that has been made through all of the decades up to the present has not been discussed
and has remained unknown, although this criticism proves that the theory contains fundamental errors. In the
present text version 1.1 we have referred to approx. 2900 critical publications (Chapter 4) and, in a documentation
chapter of our own, we have listed, described and explained approx. 130 theoretical errors (Chapter 2). In effect,
everyone who is occupied with the special theory of relativity, even those who claim that the theory is the greatest,
and most fundamental, and best-proven theory ever, must be confronted with this criticism. If the relativists soundly
believe in their own propaganda, they need have no fear for their theory from a free discussion of the criticism.
We ask you ... most respectfully - and with identically worded letters to all of the state parents’ committees in
the Federal Republic of Germany - to check the soundness of our documentation and, in the event of a positive
result of the examination, to evaluate the problems brought to light by our documentation and to determine the need
for action as regards a revision of the curricula and also the inclusion of the criticism of the theory. The parents’
representatives must have a natural interest in ensuring that the teaching material in physics does not only offer the
one-sided theoretical propaganda, but also includes the criticism of the theory. In a time and in a society in which
almost everything is fortunately freely discussed and may and should be criticized, and in which particularly the
young people are encouraged to form an independent judgement, the prevailing prohibition of every bit of criticism
of a sacrosanct theory of relativity seems ridiculous and repulsive, especially in view of the fact that a strong critical
tradition over the decades could only be kept from the awareness of the public through consequent suppression and
defamation, i.e. by cynical abuse of power.
The present documentation has already been sent to the Ministries of Culture and Sciences in all of the federal
states, with the request for examination and, where necessary, assessment of the need for action. The documentation
has also been sent to a selection of the most important institutions of federal politics, editorial staffs of newspapers,
news magazines and journals, radio and television editorial offices, prominent publicists and personalities in the
public eye in the Federal Republic of Germany. The parents’ representatives could therefore readily enquire in a
great variety of directions, e.g. with the respective ministries of education and cultural affairs, as to what one had
ascertained as to the seriousness of our documentation.
By sending our documentation as a free gift, we hope to ensure that no one bearing direct public responsibility
or indirect co-responsibility can later claim to have known nothing, and we are attempting to find out how long, in
this Federal Republic of Germany, the massive suppression of scientific freedom in the branch of theoretical
physics can continue to function. Our research project will not have achieved its aim until the reintroduction of
scientific freedom.”
