JOSEPH STALIN AND SCIENCE AUTHORITIES
Pentcho Valev
"Regarding higher education, a third of Britain's university physics
departments have closed in the last few years."
The following principle is attributed to Joseph Stalin:
Joseph Stalin: "Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no
problem."
Science authorities' principle: "Department closure is the solution to
all problems. No department - no problem."
The analogy between Joseph Stalin and science authorities will be
completely understood after careful examination of this paper:

"The gatekeepers of professional physics in the universities and
research institutes are disinclined to support or employ anyone who
raises problems over the elementary inconsistencies of relativity. A
winnowing out process has made it very difficult for critics of
Einstein to achieve or maintain professional status. Relativists are
then able to use the argument of authority to discredit these critics.
Were relativists to admit that Einstein may have made a series of
elementary logical errors, they would be faced with the embarrassing
question of why this had not been noticed earlier. Under these
circumstances the marginalisation of antirelativists, unjustified on
scientific grounds, is eminently justifiable on grounds of
realpolitik. Supporters of relativity theory have protected both the
theory and their own reputations by shutting their opponents out of
professional discourse."

Whereas Hitler thought Relativity was degenerate Jewish physics and
the Nazi regime, for a while, suppressed its supporters, calling
Werner Heisenberg a "white Jew".
The proof of who was right, of course, came at Hiroshima.

What do Fermi, Oppenheimer and Heisenberg have to do with relativity,
screwball?

They used the E=mc2 equation only to explain what is happening,
as they are using that equation loosely to explain what CERN
is doing today. In the past they said this equation explains
that from mass we can get energy in atomic bombs. Today
CERN is trying to reverse what this equation is saying, by
making mass from energy, thus making atoms from energy.
CERN is hoping to explain dark matter. By making atoms,
they are hoping to find lost energy in the process which
they would relate to dark matter. As today, the equation
stands in this case as a hypothetic model between energy
and mass. Others have used this formula before Einstein.

Einstein himself admitted that he understands nothing about
quantum mechanics. His physics breaks down at quantum
physics levels. To claim Einstein's work relates to the
atomic bomb is anti-semitic.

Big brother says. The 20th Century was dominated by
big brother. Though there are a few great ones, for all else
there are sheep and hardline extremists. If they unite Einstein's
theories and quantum physics, they can maybe claim Einstein's
work led to the atomic bomb in physics. Flowers and bees.

Einstein brought the possiblity of an atomic bomb to Roosevelt's
attention. And quantum theory must agree with relativity at a
macroscopic level.

Besides them believing it a good approximation of the truth? Well
there's that mass-energy equivalence thing, crucial to their work.

What do approximations to mass-energy equivalence have to do with
relativity, screwball?

Good, good, good, good. I am so glad to learn this. Honesty still exists
in this world! They should open only when the most evil and the wrong
einsteinian ideas of relativity and the partially correct notion of the "law
of conservation of energy" are throughly outed.
The sooner the outrageous physics of the last 200 years dies, the better.
And arise again with far greater glory, following my correct equation
relating mass and energy. Which explains the universe so wonderfully. From
the lighting of a match to the nuclear explosion, from tidal waves to the
energy from the sun - this equation explains everything.
Cheers,

Under Stalin it was the other way round !
Einstein and Soviet Ideology
Alexander Vucinich

<Start extract>
This book traces the historical trajectory of one of the most
momentous confrontations in the intellectual life of the Soviet
Union�the conflict between Einstein�s theory of relativity and
official Soviet ideology embodied in dialectical materialism.
Soviet attitudes toward Einstein�s scientific and philosophical
thought passed through several stages. During the pre-Stalin era,
Marxist philosophers clashed over the problem of defining dialectical
materialism in relation to the ongoing revolution in science. This
controversy produced a full spectrum of Marxist attitudes toward the
theory of relativity, ranging from complete acceptance to total
rejection. Disunity also prevented Marxist writers from interfering
with the work of those Soviet physicists who produced a rich
literature extolling the theory of relativity.
During the Stalin era (1929-1953), conflicting forces in Marxist
thinking were eliminated, and complete unity was established and
firmly guarded by the state. Marxist theorists declared war on
�idealistic� principles built into Einstein�s scientific work. State
harassment of leading physicists accused of idealistic digressions
persisted throughout the Stalinist era. Several leading proponents of
Einstein�s ideas perished in political prisons. Despite all these
pressures, some leading physicists used every opportunity to reaffirm
their fundamental agreement with the theory of relativity as one of
the fundamental contributions to twentieth-century scientific thought.
The post-Stalinist period (1953-1985) gradually evolved into a
profound transformation of every domain of social and cultural life,
and Einstein�s scientific and philosophical legacy was no exception.
Whereas Stalinist writers tried to reformulate Einstein�s principles
to accommodate dialectical materialism, post-Stalinist thinkers, much
more familiar with modern physics than their predecessors, attempted
to make Marxist philosophy sufficiently flexible to absorb the guiding
principles of the theory of relativity. A wide range of Einstein�s
ideas, previously regarded as symptoms of bourgeois decadence, was now
hailed as a cornerstone of the Marxist philosophy of science. The
post-Stalinist era also produced an extensive and appreciative
literature on the humanistic aspect of Einstein�s thought.
The short-lived period of perestroika (1985-1991) accelerated the
de-Stalinization process, post-Stalinist gains were solidified, and
the theory of relativity was increasingly shorn of ideological
burdens, thus removing one of the last remnants of the Stalinist war
on science.
