Excerpt from Eppur Si Muove: Axiomatics, Fundamentals and Experimental Verification of the Absolute Space-Time TheoryWhen living in Bulgaria (before September I frequently tried but in vain to establish a written contact with Acad. A. D. Sakharov and to send him eppur Sl muove via many channels. As the book had to ap pear, I wrote the above foreword and gave it to a girl-friend of mine, a well-known physicist and a Jewess still living behind the curtain, who, put ting her scientific career at risk, decided to visit Sakharov in Moscow. Her oral message (july 1977) was that Sakharov is highly sympathetic wih my theory and'will think about the matter of the foreword. As I could not te ceive his final consent, I published the book with the draft preface. Later Acad. Sakharov distanced from my theory (see the whole story narrated in detail in nature, 271, 296 and 272, 200 Sakharov has given only verbal opinions on my theory which are highly contradictory (as reported via the press or communicated to me). After the apearance of eppur SI muove, at great personal risk, I visited Sakharov in Moscow ¿ying from Brussels (february l978). He said me the following: The problems raised by my theory and the conclusions to which it leads are so crucial and im portant for physics that he does not dare to take a stand-point. On the other hand, he has no time to study the theory and to analyse the experi ments in detail, as he is dedicating all his time to social and moral activities.I think that a written statement by Sakharov (positive or negative) on my theory (now when he has more time for scientific work in Gor'ki) will be decisive for the speedy restoration of absolute space. Absolute space time has already obtained such a firm experimental confirmation that for its acceptance one needs one thing only: an open and wide discussion. For this reason l organize on the 8 - ll July l982 in Genoa the International Conference on space-time Absoluteness (lcsta) which was prohibited by the Bulgarian government in 1977. I invite the space-time specialists all over the world to publish papers before the conference and to participate at the conference, where absolute freedom will be given to any stand-point. Two Nobel-prize-winners, Prof. Wigner and Prof. Salam, have already written me about their interest to visit the conference. If icsta-i9sz will be representative, then the gr-lo Conference in Venice (july 1983) will meet on a firm and stable absolute ground, and the two old rivals, Genoa and Venice, will concur for the prospect of science.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
