Extract:
“We are convinced, and we hope for your support in this, that in a democratically aligned and pluralistically
organized society a right that is anchored in the constitution, such as the right of scientific freedom, must not be
suppressed in a certain specialist field by academic science. Progress is only possible in the context of free and
critical discussion. All dogmatic suppression of the criticism is wrongful and harmful to the sciences through
prevention of, for example, the repetition of certain experiments and the conducting of new experiments, because
they might be detrimental to the interests of the powers that be in physics.”

Extract:
“We ask you kindly to examine and investigate our documentation of the published criticism, and if your
examination proves the documentation to be well founded to present the information to the public and invite to a
free discussion. Relativistic physics then will have the chance to answer the criticism - the sheer existence of which
has been denied by the physicists and therefore never has been answered - and to explain why for 80 years they have
suppressed and calumniated the persons and the publications which have dared to criticize. If the relativists believe
their own propaganda they should not fear anything from an open discussion.
The situation is rather bizarre: while in all other fields of science there is permanent criticism and discussion of
theories, only in theoretical physics there has been organized the silence of a cemetary to protect relativity theory
from critical arguments, and still more bizarre is that nobody in the sciences and the history of sciences seems to
have noticed this cultural disaster.
Since the special theory of relativity in the public opinion has survived until today as one of the greatest
achievements of science, in reality it has been disproved since at least 1914 (experiment of Sagnac), and the few
features of the theory which have a basis in reality (as example: e=mc²) are no relativistic effects and the famous
formula is not the idea of Einstein: the relativists simply have usurped the achievement of Thomson 1881, Wien
1900, Poincaré 1900 and 1904, Kaufmann 1901-05, Hasenöhrl 1904 (see our documentation pages 131-132). - The
ruins of the theory are covered by social constructions as the cult of genius and the powerful suppression of any
criticism and even the critics as persons, and relativity theory thus has become a theory of simple socio-physics.
The proofs and details of this diagnosis - physical and historical - you will find in our documentation.“
