Albert Einstein and Wernher Von Braun – the Two Great German-American
Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun – the two great German-American Physicists seen in a Historical Perspective FRIEDWARDT WINTERBERG, University of Nevada Reno. Abstract It was Albert Einstein who changed our view of the universe to be a non-Euclidean curved space-time. And it was Wernher von Braun who showed how to make the first step to take us into this universe, leaving the gravitational field of our planet earth, with the landing a man on the moon the greatest event in human history. Both these great physicists did this on the shoulders of giants. Albert Einstein on the shoulders of his German landsman Bernhard Riemann, and Wernher von Braun on the shoulders of Goddard and Oberth. Both Einstein and von Braun made a Faustian pact with the devil, von Braun by accepting research funds from Hitler, and Einstein by urging Roosevelt to build the atom bomb (against Hitler). Both of these great men later regretted the use of their work for the killing of innocent bystanders, even though in the end the invention of nuclear energy and space flight is for the benefit of man. Their example serves as a warning for all of us. It can be formulated as follows: “Can I in good conscience accept research funds from the military to advance scientific knowledge, for weapons developed against an abstract enemy I never have met in person?" Weapons if used do not differentiate between the scientist, who invented these weapons, and the non-scientist. In this short essay I will show that there are many surprising parallels in the life of Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun, the two great German-American physicists who had a decisive influence on the history of the 20th century. -

Printed in the United States of America The Effects of Nuclear Test-ban Regimes on Th ird -generation-wea pon I n novation Dan L. Fenstermache~ The primary reason that we are pursuing nuclear directed energy weapons is to understand the Soviets' capability to design and deploy similar weapons,which would put the US strategic deterrent force or a future defensivesystem at risk. Former US Energy Secretary John S. Herrington' It is by no means certain that a Comprehensive Test Ban would prevent the Soviets from developing a new generation of nuclear weapons, although that would assuredly be the effect of a total testing ban on the US. Former Director of Los Alamos National Laboratory, Donald Kerrt Under the rationale of assessing potential Soviet threats, several third-generation- weapon concepts are being actively studied in the US. This paper presents a technical analysis of the physical principles and likely capabilities of three nuclear directed-energy concepts (x-my lasers, nuclear kinetic-energy weapons, and micro- wave devices) and describes the implications for their development of threshold test bans at thresholds above and below 1 kiloton, Inertial Confinement Fusion, special- ized non-nuclear weapon effects simulation, and seismically quiet containment a.

2004Letter from the President
A BOUT GMF he German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) is an American public policy and grantmaking institution Tdedicated to promoting greater cooperation and understanding between the United States and Europe. GMF does this by supporting individuals and institutions working on transatlantic issues, by convening leaders to discuss the most pressing transatlantic themes, and by examining ways in which transatlantic cooperation can address a variety of global policy challenges. In addition, GMF supports a number of initiatives to strengthen democracies. Founded in 1972 through a gift from Germany as a permanent memorial to Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition to its headquarters in Washington, DC, GMF has five offices in Europe: Belgrade, Berlin, Bratislava, Brussels, and Paris.

Relativistic Effects on Satellite Navigation
Ž. Hećimivić Relativistički utjecaji na satelitsku navigaciju ISSN 1330-3651 (Print), ISSN 1848-6339 (Online) UDC/UDK 531.395/.396:530.12]:629.056.8 RELATIVISTIC EFFECTS ON SATELLITE NAVIGATION Željko Hećimović Subject review The base of knowledge of relativistic effects on satellite navigation is presented through comparison of the main characteristics of the Newtonian and the relativistic space time and by a short introduction of metric of a gravity field. Post-Newtonian theory of relativity is presented as a background in numerical treating of satellite navigation relativistic effects. Time as a crucial parameter in relativistic satellite navigation is introduced through coordinate and proper time as well as terrestrial time and clocks synchronization problem. Described are relativistic effects: on time dilation, on time differences because of the gravity field, on frequency, on path range effects, caused by the Earth rotation, due to the orbit eccentricity and because of the acceleration of the satellite in the theory of relativity. Overviews of treatment of relativistic effects on the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou satellite systems are given. Keywords: satellite navigation, GNSS, post-Newton theory of relativity, relativistic effects, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou Relativistički utjecaji na satelitsku navigaciju Pregledni rad Osnovna znanja o relativističkim utjecajima na satelitsku navigaciju objašnjena su usporedbom glavnih karakteristika Newtonovog i relativističkog prostora vremena te kratkim uvodom u metriku gravitacijskog polja. Post-Newtonova teorija relativnosti objašnjena je kao osnova pri numeričkoj obradi relativističkih utjecaja u području satelitske navigacije. Vrijeme, kao vrlo važan parametar u relativističkoj satelitskoj navigaciji, objašnjeno je kroz koordinatno i vlastito vrijeme te kroz terestičko vrijeme i problem sinkronizacije satova. -

PETROPOULOS deposes and certifies, as follows: 1. I am over the age of twenty-one and reside at 526 West 12th Street, Claremont, California, 91711. I have been retained by the attorneys for the heirs of George Grosz to provide this Declaration in relation to factual issues arising from a motion by the defendant, The Museum of Modern Art (“The MoMA”), to dismiss the First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). 2. Specifically, I have been requested to review two questions: (1) whether the allegations that three paintings by George Grosz, Portrait of the Poet Max-Herrmann- Neisse (with Cognac Glass), Self-Portrait with Model and Republican Automatons (together “the Paintings”), were lost or stolen are grounded in historical fact; and (2) whether the report of Nicholas deB. Katzenbach (“the Katzenbach Report”) submitted in support of the motion to dismiss is consistent with the historical record and provenance documentation available to art historians and scholars. As set forth below, a review of available documentation and scholarly resources shows: (1) that the allegations of the FAC appear to be supported by documentary evidence and otherwise well-grounded in historical fact and (2) that the statements contained in the Katzenbach Report are inconsistent with the historical record. -

Teichmüller Space Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie, Volume 38, 2013 129 Teichmüller space interpretation of quantum mechanics FRIEDWARDT WINTERBERG University of Nevada, Reno, 1664 N. Virginia Street, 89557-0220 Reno, United States of America ABSTRACT. It is proposed that the non-local quantum mechanical correla- tions are explained by the analytic continuation below the Planck length in- to a complex Teichmüller space. In one space dimension, sufficient to ex- plain the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) paradox, the Teichmüller space is reduced to a space of complex Riemann surfaces, and an experiment is pro- posed to demonstrate the possible existence of such a space below the Planck length.. 1 Introduction To this day there is no satisfactory explanation for quantum mechanics. In The Meaning of Relativity Einstein wrote [1]: One can give good reasons why reality cannot at all be represented by a continuous field. From the quantum phenomena it appears to follow with certainty that a finite system of finite energy can be completely described by a finite set of numbers (quantum numbers). This does not seem to be in ac- cordance with a continuum theory and must lead to an attempt to find a purely algebraic theory for the representation of reality. But nobody knows how to find the basis for such a theory. While the Riemannian space of general relativity describes reality in the large, the conjecture that a Teichmüller space can describe reality in the small is interesting for the following reason: Quantum mechanics has in a very fundamental way to do with the problem of measurement.
