One obvious problem wiht /Einstein et al. 1920/ (Doc. 46) is that it
contains a gap in the Lerard-Einstein exchange. According to Lenards'
later account, he had posed two main questions to Einstein. Th efirst
involved his long-standing train-crash query, whereas the second
dealt with an alleged "contradiction" in general relativity due to
the relativity of rotational motion. Lenard noted that if the earth
were considered as at rest and the whole universe as rotating around
it, then this implies the admissibility of superluminal velocities,
an issue nowhere mentioned in /Einstein et al 1920/ (Doc. 46). In
answering this question, Einstein explained that the principle of
the constancy of the velocity of light no longer holds for reference
frames in arbitrary motion.
(...)
Lenard later wrote that he was astonished by Einstein's lack of
preparedness in answering his questions, and that only Gustav
Mie's leture had been of interest to him. Returning to Heidelberg,
he resigned from the Deutche Physikalishe Gesellshaft and began to
dream of the day when German physicists would turn their backs on the
"alien spirit" that he associated with the theory of relativity.
For Weyland, who reported on the Bad Nauheim meeting for the
Deutche Zeitung, this showdown marked the end of his campaign to
discredit Einstein and the "Einstein press." He accused Plankc and
the Einstein "clique" of throttling teh opposition and of allowing
only Lenard a chance to speak. Th erecord indicates, however, taht
the philosophers Melchior Pala/gyi and Oskar Kraus, both outspoken
critics of Einstein's theory, took part in the general discussion
(Einstein et al. 1920 [Doc. 46]). In Weyland's view, the Bad Nauheim
discussions were a sham with only one redeeming virtue: they revealed
the deep division within the German physics community. On the one hand
those had emerged who, "under the leadership of Lenard, rejected the
rape of physics by mathematical dogmas." On the other side were "the
Einsteinophiles" who "cling to their standpoint and try to leap up the
Parnassus of their rubbish of formulas." Weyland attacked the Deutche
Physikalische Gesellshaft, suggesting that it was "high time that fresh
air enter this rat's nest of scientific corruption." Soon afterwards,
Gehrcke and Lenard severed their ties to Weiland, who then left the
anti-relativists' arena to pursue a crusade against other "Jewish
influences" that he claimed were poisoning German culture. Gehrcke,
who consistently denied that his attacks had anything to do with
politics, continued to wage war with relativists like Hermann Weyl
and Hans Thirring. He later published a detailed documentary history
intended to demonstrate the wisdom of his prohpetic assertion that
Einstein's theory of relativity was nothing but a phenomenon of
mass psychology (Gehrcke 1924b). In the meantime, Lenard, supported
by Stark, laid teh groundwork for the Aryan physics movement, whose
followers later looked up to Lenard as their revered leader, precisely
as Weyland had predicted.

So there you go. How were the German scientists (and Germany is a
scientific nation) deluded for instance into believing Jews were a pest?
Meanwhile, the rest of the world still thought of blacks as inferior,
and i saw on tv that aboriginees were regarden "flora and fauna" up
until 1967, when they were ruled sentient humans in a referendum.
What does this tell us?
Relativity has it's gigantic thrust on the basis of politics, on the
idea that if the bad-guys say Jews are bad, then the good guys must
think the poster-boy the bag-guys are using must in fact be a brilliant
scientist, after all: the Nazi's must be wrong in everything, so we
can just chose the oposite of their oponions and be always right.
I can imagine that Einstein has helped the Nazi-movement considderably
in the early days, giving it the backing of a large section of the
German physicists, or at least silence.

Stick to blathering incompetently about physics: you're a lot better
at that than you are at history.

Why do you blame your inability to understand anything anyone says to
you on those who say things to you?
>Try to post some content, even though you know it's wrong, so much more
>interesting....
Ah, emulate YOU, you mean.
Have another insult on me: you either can't read, or you're a liar.
You said "I imagine that Einstein has helped the Nazi-movement
considerably in the early days". This is baseless shite. Defend it or
apologise.
Maybe you really are a troll after all. You graduate from being an
anti-relativity crank to a virulent anti-Einstein crank.
I gave my reasons, now you give your counter reasons instead of merely
insult.
Einstein has helped the Nazi propaganda considerably, designing a solid
feeding ground for true physicists to dislike at least one very high
profile jew.
Your counter argument is exactly what. Given the fact that scientists
have a high esteem, this could and would have helped Hitler and anti-semetic
feelings. I think it might even have helped substantially, and you could
have read that one physicist went out on a crusade against Jews thanks
to Einstein.

Any more questions?
It works for you, right? Or have you already forgotten about the
global conspiracy that forced you out of university and in to
unemployment, and turned your TV in to a mind control device?
No. I claim you are delusional, and that's where the arguments are
coming from.
And why do you keep cross-posting to sci.physics? I've explained to
you it is part of your delusional structure that this group is
"important"; it's a small club after all, and you are shitting in our
soup.
which "true physicists"? Name three.

So you think Nazis hated Jews because of Einstein, and not vice versa?
Your history is as learned as your physics.
still refuse to actually "RESEARCH" a calculator and see what -4 x -4 is?
huh?
<LOL>
Calculators have built-in clock chips.
What was it that the clocks do?
Right.
Dirk Vdm
>still refuse to actually "RESEARCH" a calculator and see what -4 x -4 is?
Fool!
It had to be programmed to do that.
still don't get "direction" huh?
still don't get that your -x will not work if subbed with a q so
you are wrong mathematically too?
Or perhaps he's just a neonazi on top of everything else. He/s both
crazy and stupid enough to be one.
Newton, Galileio, Maxwell.

In some very real respects yes.
If you have an inflamatory situation in a antisemetic world (and antisemitism
existed everywhere, need i say again that aborigenees were "flora/fauna"
until 1967?!), and there is some high-profile person from "the other group"
which is destroying what you love most, this will not help diffuse the
situation. Compare mulsims who demolish the WTC building, is this going
to help the love for Muslims in the USA ? I think it didn't help much. In
fact, i am certain it worked for those that thrive on Muslim hatred.
>Your history is as learned as your physics.

Very good dog.

If you think they disliked Einstein you have an interesting notion of
causality.

who in the 30s thought Einstein was destroying "what they love most"?
Physicists? The man on the street in Munich?.

pure assertion. If you make an astonishing (bordering on anti-semitic)
claim then it's up to you to justify it with evidence of what people
thought in the 30s, not what you think now.
Haven't you ever stopped to consider that there's a chance that you
might be wrong?

still refuse to replace the -x with a q huh?
