Yes. Of course. (Except for the first person.)

And Einstein, when told that 2000 Nazi scientists had voted that the theory of relativity was wrong, said 'You cannot vote on what is the truth.'
This quote however I can't find. Nor any reference that the theory of relativity was renounced in Germany (there are many many things said about Germany in this period of history, but ineptitude in the physical sciences isn't one of them)
Anders, see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein#World_War_II>: "In 1933, the Nazis passed "The Law of the Restoration of the Civil Service," which forced all Jewish university professors out of their jobs. Throughout the 1930s, a campaign to label Einstein's work as "Jewish physics"—in contrast with "German" or "Aryan physics"—was led by Nobel laureates Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark. With the assistance of the SS, the Deutsche Physik supporters worked to publish pamphlets and textbooks denigrating Einstein's theories and attempted to politically blacklist German physicists who taught them, notably Werner Heisenberg." -- "Peace hath her victories no less renown'd than war." --John Milton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
