The months and the years pass away and looking at the gray sky over our scientific community I can only repeat by heart the beautiful words of Pushkin: jfcHb KaxjJh^, Kaxaym rozwHy npHBbiK n aymoh npoBO)KaaTb, BHHurreHHa crafla CMepTb rpnaymy mok hhx cxapaHCb yra/iaxb. Meanwhile the experiments which I construct become more and more amazing and fantas- tical and the theory more simple and more elegant. In the last years I gave evidence not only on the invalidity of the principles of relativity and equivalence, but on the invalidity of the LAWS OF CONSERVATION which are the sacrosanct fundamentals of contemporary physics. — We stay on the threshold of a tremendous change in human life as energy can be produced from nothing. This is a DREAM, a FANCIFUL DREAM, but when I try to narrate it to my fellow-men, the result is the same as in GENESIS 37:5: Now Joseph had a dream and when he told it to his brothers, they only hated him more. Graz, 10 April 1988 Stefan MARINOV PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION In the second edition of TWT-III documents appeared after March 1988 have been in- cluded and some documents of the first edition have been cancelled. Four papers trea- ting space-time problems were transferred to the third edition of TWT-I and one paper treating energy violation problems was transferred from TWT-I to TWT-III. The corres- pondence for the years 1986 and 1987 which was published in the second edition of TWT-I is now presented in this edition of TWT-III. Four new papers are published in this edition of TWT-III of which two of other authors. Graz, 10 September 1988 Stefan MARINOV - 6 - Stefan Marinov with his brother Coliu (Sydney, February 1986) - 7 - FOR GLASNOST IN PHYSICS (scientific essay) The great ennemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth - persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. J. F. Kennedy (1962) When even the Secretary General of the Soviet Communist Party has understood that the way of a society without GLASNOST is a way of stagnation and degradation, it seems that the Lords in science have still not realized that the lack of transperancy in the scientific research leads also inevitably to stagnation and degradation. Once when wondering who might be this "clever" institution which introduced the system of anonymous refereeing, my interlocutor exclaimed: "You do not know?! - The Spanish inquisition." At the first moment I was shocked but after a while I realized that my interlocutor might be right. Indeed, the inquisitors who had to survey the people, to investigate the different cases, to pronounce the verdicts were anonymous. Their names were known only to the General Inquisitor. The sentenced could hear only the verdicts but not the motivations. Very often the sentenced could hear even nothing, ttiQ' were simply executed. The anonymity serves to create the feelings of mysticism, authority and sacrosancti- ty. The best arm in the hands of mafiosi is the secrecy. No authoritarian or suppres- sive regime can survive without hierarchical structures where this one who stays on the top can have a free look down, but this one who stays at the bottom cannot have a free look up. It may seem strange that science, which is a field where the most lucid heads of the nations are gathered, preserves the attributes of the most reactionary and retrograde human institutions. A very clever physicist from Munich (who begged me to preserve his name in secrecy - see the fourth footnote on p. 4 of TWT-I) explained to me the reasons. There is no, he said, bigger authority than the authority of the scientists. One can in a single day change a political regime, hang the most powerful dictator with his head down or burn his mumified corpse. With the authorities in science one cannot do this. One needs centuries to turn the stream in the river of science. Those social and ethnic human groups who dominate and suppress other social and ethnic groups need cer- tain authority to justify their leading role. Only science can offer to them this authority as any other authority is not enough stable. On the other side, there is no other human activity which has bigger significance for the economical and ecological prosperity (better to say, survival) of mankind than science. A scientific discovery can change the whole life of a nation (or of the planet) - 8 - in few years. No other human activity has such deep social repercussions as science (remember the steam engine, the authomatic loom, the combustion engine, the electrifi- cation, the atomic power, the computers). Thus if science is so important for mankind, there must reign the largest glasnost. It is, however, exactly on the contrary. The ways in which the scientific discoveries come to light are very peculiar and in- terwoven. Sometimes an occasion brings a discovery to light much earlier than the "lo- gical evolution of science" could predict. But sometimes the most simple discovery re- mains again OCCASIONALLY hidden for many and many years and even for centuries, despite the logic 'probability expectations". And for these 'bccasion^' glasnosl^TJiay aprimary role. Here I shall consider the short histories of two discoveries, in which I have taken an active part, that lead first to a radical change in physical theory and thereupon to a radical change in planetary energetics. These discoveries could be done 100 years ago but they OCCASIONALLY remained unnoticed by mankind. Had mankind done these discoveries a century ago, our planet would look completely different from that what it is now. The first discovery is the establishment of the space-time absoluteness. As I wrote on p. 70 of TWT-II, in their historical 1887-paper, where Michelson and Morley presen- ted the account on their interferometric experiment, they gave also a proposal for an experiment on the measurement of first-order in v/c effects, where v is the absolute velocity of the laboratory and c the velocity of light. As Michelson and Morley noted, this experiment might be performed with the experimental technique of that time. How- ever neither Michelson nor some other researcher after him has tried to carry out such an experiment. The man who did it (without having read Michelson's suggestion) was I in 1973 (repeated in 1975 and 1984). My experimental reports show that at the end of the 19th century one was able to carry out this experiment. Had this experiment been done, physics had to go a completely different way, electromagnetism had to be built on another theoretical ground and the probability that an electromagnetic perpe- tuum mobile could be discovered also 100 years ago would be much higher. In my "coupled mirrors" experiment carried in 1973 and 1975/76 in Sofia and in my "coupled shutters" experiment in 1984 in Graz (as well as in 1979 in Brussels, where I could not achieve the necessary accuracy for registering the Earth's absolute velo- city) I used a rotating axle for realizing the so-called Newtonian time synchronization (i.e., for synchronizing two spacely remoted events in an absolute sense). My numerous experiments described in the books EPPUR SI MUOVE and CLASSICAL PHYSICS and my detailed theoretical analyses led me to the conclusion that if a Newtonian time synchronization should be not realized, then one is unable to measure optical effects due to the motion of the laboratory in absolute space. According to me, one can observe optical absolute effects without realizing a Newtonian time synchronization only in the quasi-Bradley - experiment (see my books). On the tiand, however, it is very easy to observe electromag netic absolute effects without realizing a Newtonian time synchronization. Such an ex- - 9 - periment is proposed on p. 150. Recently the student Robert Jan de Geus (Pesthuis laan 51, 1054 RH Amsterdam, Holland) wrote me that he has carried out this experiment with his "pocket money" with a definitely clear positive effect.
