One reads the first theoretical part with the due distrust with which one reads - n anything that contradicts well established a d broadly accepted theories . e x ec One then reads the second experimental part with the same distrust , p ting easily to discover flaws in experiments which aim to disprove those theories . However, on reading the book to the end , one begins to realize that the experimenta l foundation ofthe general (Einstein) principle ofrelativity is far fi from being so rm and indisputable as is generally accepted . I would like so - fi to point out the called rotating disk experiment , performed for the rst - i 60 fi W e . t me some years ago , where rst order in effects were easily measured ’ One can doubt whether Marinov s coupled - mirrors experiment is carried o u t well and whether the effects which he claims to have registered Marinov are not due to outside causes . However , the link shows between the « rotating disk experiment and his « coupled - mirrors (or coupled shutters experiment is so clear and indisputable that one is impelled to lo ica ll f g y accept his results . The di ferent variants of the rotating disk and moving platform experiments which he has performed give further evi dence for accepting his absolute space - time conceptions as adequate to physical reality . I f the experimental results reported by Marinov are confirmed by other fi experimenters , then the special theory of relativity will de nitely have to be rejected as not adequate to physical reality , although , as can be seen from the fi r of st part this book , the changes which have to be introduced into high ’ velocity physics are not to be so radical as some o f Einstein s adversaries have to The claimed and persist claim . Lorentz transformation (although treated from an absolute point of view) and the 4 - dimensional formalism o f Min kowski will remain an important mathematical apparatus in the hands Of the h t eoreticians . n - Nevertheless , the return to Newto ian absolute space time conceptions - h alf o f th e 20th will be o ne Ofthe most importa nt physics events in the second and fi . century showing how simple , at the same time , how per dious Nature is , The work o f Marinov brings many hopes that o ne day the qua ntum enigma will be explained in a similar simple and a Newto nian man ner . o s ow A ril 1977 A. D . S Mo c , p akhar v When living in Bulgaria (be fore Sep tember I frequently tried D A . but in vain to establish a written contact with Acad . Sakharov and to P R l MU V As a send him E P U S O E via many channels . the book had to p e f - f o f p ar , I wrote the above oreword and gave it to a girl riend mine , a - e ut well known ph ysicist and a Jewess still living b hind the curtain , who , p i S M . ting her scientif c career at risk , decided to visit akharov in oscow Her oral message (July 1977) was that S akharov is highly sym pathetic wih my ‘ f A s t e theory and will think about the matter of the oreword . I could not ce ive f his final consent , I published the book with the dra t preface . Later m r Acad . S akharov distanced from y theory (see the whole sto y narrated in A U R 27 1 296 272 200 S detail in N T E , , and , akharov has given only verbal opinions o n my theory which are highly contradictory (as reported A a ea ra nce o P PU R I via the press or communicated to me) . fter the p f E S MU VE S M f O , at great personal risk , I visited akharov in oscow flying rom Brussels (February l 978) . He said me the following : The problems raised by my theory and the conclusions to which it leads are so crucial and im r - portant fo ph ysics that he does not dare to take a stand point . On the ex eri other hand , he has no time to study the theory and to analyse the p all . ments in detail , as he is dedicating his time to social and moral activities I think that a written statement by Sakharov (positive o r negative) on ’ my theory (now when he has more time for scienti fic work in Gor ki) will be decisive for the speed y restoration of absolute space . Absolute space time has already obtained such a firm experimental confirmation that for its accep tance one needs one thing only : an o pen and wide discussion . For — this reason l organize on the 8 l l July l 982 in Genoa the International Conference on S pace - Time A bsoluteness ( l CSTA) which was p rohibited by B 7 - e a ll the ulgarian government in 197 . I invite the space time sp cialists over the world to p ublish p apers before the con ference and to p articipate at - f an . the conference , where absolute reedom will be given to y stand point - - P f. P S Two Nobel p rize winners , ro Wigner and rof. alam , have already n I f I CSTA - I 9SZ written me about their i terest to visit the conference . will G R- l o V 1983 be representative , then the Conference in enice (July ) will o ld meet on a firm and stable absolute ground , and the two rivals , Genoa nd V a o f . enice , will concur for the p rosp ect science a S e te mbe 198 ] .
