My reply
on the anti-relativity theoretical co., ltd. [august 27, 1920]
pp. 1-5
in: Klaus Hentschel (ed), Physics and national socialism, Basel, Birkhäuser, 1996Abstract
A motley group has joined together to form a company under the pretentious name "Syndicate of German Scientists' currently with the single purpose of denigrating the theory of relativity and me as its author in the eyes of non-physicists.[1]Recently Messrs. Weyland and Gehrke held a lecture with this in-tent at Philharmonic Hall which I attended personally.[2]I am fully aware of the fact that both speakers are unworthy of a reply from my pen; for, I have good reason to believe that there are other motives behind this undertaking than the search for truth. (Were I a German national, whether bearing a swastika or not, rather than a Jew of liberal international bent…)[3]I only respond because I have received repeated requests from well-meaning quarters to have my view made known.[4]
