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

Chapter 9: The Thought Experiment
4. Given that the theory is generally seen as being fundamentally important, is widely regarded as the bestconfirmed
theory ever and is already being taught in the upper grades of general-educational schools in a fully
uncritical manner, it is absolutely necessary that the validity of this theory be examined in the light of the criticism,
now comprehensively documented for the first time.
5. The public examination of the validity of the special theory of relativity called for has, of course, a logical
precondition; the reintroduction of scientific freedom in the field of theoretical physics.”

Extract:
“Please find everything else, dear Sirs, enclosed. We allow ourselves to draw your attention to our project,
because on your home page you focus explicitly on the love of freedom and because you have proven in your
publications that you refuse to bow to the dictates of authority. The authors of critical publications on the special
theory of relativity documented by us have also longed - for eight decades - for the freedom of a public and rational
debate on theoretical physics, though in vain. We can imagine that you might be interested in the problem of
abolition of scientific freedom in the field of theoretical physics, as brought to light in our documentation. We need
not explain to you the implications of the problem. We respectfully request that you examine our work and, in the
event of a positive result of this examination, that you do what you can, in the context of your journalistic work, to
promote free public discussion.”

“Please find everything else, dear Dr. Geißler, enclosed. The realistic view of the world repeatedly demonstrated
by you and your commitment to justice in social matters have moved us to send you our work with the courteous
request that you examine the problems uncovered by our documentation and, in the event of a positive result of this
examination, that you make efforts to stimulate, in the context of your political and journalistic work, free public
discussion on conditions existing in the field of theoretical physics.”

Extract:
“Please find everything else, dear Professor Grottian, enclosed. You have repeatedly shown an outstanding
commitment towards justice in social questions; the press has recognized your journalistic function as an “organizer,
ideas man and moderator in Berlin’s leftist scene.” For this reason we assume that you will not become typically
stiff with horror when you hear criticism of the holiest theory of physics. This has moved us to send you, too, our
work with the courteous request that you examine the problems uncovered by our documentation and, in the event
of a positive result of this examination, that you make efforts to stimulate, in the context of your political and
journalistic work, free public discussion of the conditions existing in the field of theoretical physics. For purposes
of your journalistic work you can make use of the texts sent to you by us at your discretion.”
