30.10 Epilogue

 

The preparation for a seminar or a lecture always starts with a collection of material. This 

should be considerably more detailed than the material to be communicated, since it 

doesn't get well at the students and also other participants, if the state of knowledge of the 

lecturer already is exhausted with the scope of his lecture. For this reason the collection of 

material must also include alternative derivations and areas of knowledge, which 

thematically rather are marginal, about which mustn't be reported, which possibly not 

even can bear criticism but still are in the public discussion. For a collection of material, 

which wants to be considered to be comprehensive and complete, it is important that no 

area and no theme has been overlooked.

 

The here presented collection of material with its 650 pages has become correspondingly 

voluminous. After all the material has been collected over an 8 year period and has been 

strung into the book in the order of working. That of course complicates reading the book, 

because individual aspects are repeated several times, but often also in a different context 

and each time lighted from another side. If the reader somewhere has the feeling, he only 

has turned in a circle, then has deceived himself. He indeed moves spirally in a circle, like 

in real life, but he doesn't come out there, where he started. After one turn he is richer 

with the experience of this spiral turn. In whole science the advancement takes place as a 

spiral movement and one can count oneself fortunate, as long as the spiral has an 

ascending slope! This notion should solace the reader, who has undertaken the torture to 

work through the complete collection of material.

 

Students also have reported, they had devoured my book like a thriller and a colleague, 

who had acquired it at a conference in Switzerland, was digging so much in the lecture 

that he forgot to get off the train timely.

 

It is a special concern to give reasons for the necessity of an extension of available field 

theory. To achieve this goal several derivations (fig. 30.10) can be found in my books: 

from a postulate, from causality, from duality, from vortex physics, from the equations of 

transformation, etc. added are at least a dozen derivations of other authors from various 

publications, who at most are cited. With that the goal is pursued that all approaches, 

which are conceivable and worth discussing, can be put side by side and tested for their 

efficiency.

 

Since it isn't the task of a collection of material to answer this question, this must be done 

by the hearer resp. the reader of the books. He is prompted to find the answer himself! 

That leads to an intense contention with the theme and that exactly is the reason for the 

otherwise rather unusual step to make a collection of material open to the public. 

Objections and criticism of the content of a relation of matters or also only of the 

representation of the context is wished explicitly. This also isn't valued as criticism of the 

author or of the superordinated set of difficulties, which in principle isn't possible at all 

for a collection of material.

Epilogue_____________________________________________________________ 629

 

There in principle is no necessity at all to discuss with everybody a collection of material, 

which I have compiled exclusively for own events. It is absolutely sufficient, if few, but 

then qualified experts have thoughts about the content and communicate them to me. They 

can feel certain that I don't hand down their judgement to other persons. For that I also 

have been blamed by ignorant colleagues, who in complete self-overestimation have the 

opinion, they should be informed about everything. Right is rather, that my private 

correspondence is of no concern to anybody, since I find it important that as much readers 

as possible express themselves frank, what only functions, if they can feel certain that they 

afterwards won't be involved in public mud-wrestling. Therefore I keep still as regards 

other persons however curious they might be.

 

Indeed over and over again pseudo scientists turn up, who have the erroneous opinion that 

scientific arguments would take place on some internet-forums, where one can descant at 

will and anonymous, hidden behind an alias, where the intellectual firebug can feel safe, 

not afterwards being blamed for his crimes.

 

No, science takes place entirely different. A new theory will be able to establish, if it is 

right and important and if it is used for practical uses. Losers are those authors of a theory, 

for the elaboratation of which nobody is interested. What does a publication in a journal, 

however renowned, mean, if nobody reads it and nobody needs it? Most new ideas and 

approaches go under without notice in today's flood of publications, for who has got the 

time to read all essays in full?

 

Desperate they turn to me hoping, at least I could understand their concern. I then invite 

these scientists to a congress of the ,,Society for the Advantage of Physics", of which I am 

the president and offer them a forum, where they are able to present their ideas to an 

expert public. Not all lectured ideas prove to be sound, but not seldom a physical concern, 

which should be taken very serious, is behind it.

 

For a long time the real scientific controversy doesn't take place anymore at the 

universities and their congresses, where hardly someone dares to lecture arguments against 

the convention. Too fast he would be expelled as outlaw from the honourable society. 

From time to time however also from these circles colleagues dare anonymously or 

privately, as they emphasize, into the alternative events of lobbies or clubs, to astonished 

find out that real science there still is practised and that there is discussed about ideas, 

which they have given up thinking or have forbidden themselves to think about. The 

employment activity, so they excuse their thinking prohibition, allegedly doesn't allow it.
