The paper presents the total and consistent unification of the
grandiose works of Newton, Faraday and Maxwell within the
symmetrical Maxwell equations by identifying the so far missing
magnetic monopoles with the mass monopoles - masses, and
identifying the magnetic field with the gravitational field with
the suitable constant of proportionality . Further experiments are necessary to
obtain its correct average value. The origin of the conventional
large-scale magnetic fields of the celestial bodies, planets, Sun
and stars is explained on the basis of the first moment of the
mass distribution with respect to the
center of gravity, which center is defined as the
point at which the self-gravity is zero. The center of gravity
and the center of mass never coincide, except in the case of the
perfect symmetry, which never occurs in nature for the real
celestial bodies. It is pointed out that the inappropriate choice
of the center of mass for the coordinate origin for the planet Earth led to the
inadequate International Gravity Formula with the so far inexplicable gravity
anomalies. These gravity anomalies can be accounted for at least
partially by the additional dipolar term in that Gravity Formula.
The paper points out at many phenomena which fit naturally within
this unified field theory, such as geomagnetic field reversal,
disturbances and variations due to the influences of the Moon,
Sun, all planets, continental drift, earthquakes, etc. The solar
cycle and the sunspots can be easily accounted for by the
gravitational pulls of the revolving planets, among which Jupiter
predominates by far. Further research in many directions is
necessary, including levitation by very strong magnetic fields particularly, whose results were
reported rather recently. It is emphasized that the proper choice
of the coordinate system for the planet Earth is of the paramount
importance for further geophysical measurements, so that the
instantaneous time varying vertical plumb lines and all
measurements can be referred to that global coordinate system. It is pointed out that this unified
gravito-electromagnetic field
theory is purely mathematically valid for any velocity. In that respect, an
experiment is described for the attempt to accelerate electrons above the speed
of light, which appears to be possible on the basis of the described provisional
model of the self-gravitationally stabilized electrical charge as derived from
this unified field theory. This
tentative model of the elementary electrical charge - electron shows that within
this unified field theory all elementary particles, including neutrons, must
possess the intrinsic magnetic dipole moments, i.e., the intrinsic first mass
moments with respect to their centers of gravity within the unavoidable and
inexorable gravitational field, THUS TOTALLY AND LOGICALLY ELIMINATING ANY NEED
FOR THE ASSUMED AND PRESUMABLY "DETECTED" "SUB-ELEMENTARY"
TRANSIENT ELECTRICALLY CHARGED PARTICLES, LIKE QUARKS, ETC, WHICH,
ALTHOUGH "TRANSIENT", PRESUMABLY REVOLVE INSIDE THE
"ELEMENTARY" PARTICLES, LIKE NEUTRONS ETC. TO CREATE THE MAGNETIC
DIPOLE MOMENTS IN THE OBVIOUS VIOLATION OF LOGIC.
This model is in the full harmony with the disapproval of the hypothesis of
quarks by some outstanding scientists, like Heisenberg and others. The paper emphasizes that any theory of physics
and particles, which neglects or omits the inevitable gravitational field, whose
presence makes the space essentially anisotropic, is logically incomplete and consequently
erroneous to a certain extent.
UNIFICATION
OF GRAVITATION AND ELECTROMAGNETISM
Introduction
The long established concept in the present-day physics of the four
fundamental forces of nature without any apparent interconnections is logically
untenable, since nature appears to act always as the unified whole. So the purpose of this paper is to
abandon that concept resembling strangely to the absurd Aristotle's four
elements and to present the unification of
gravitation and electromagnetism within the single
mathematical-geometrical structure of the symmetrical Maxwell
equations consistent with all gravito-electromagnetic phenomena
in nature, thus unifying the grandiose works of Newton, Faraday
and Maxwell. It must be emphasized at the very beginning that the
monopoles, dipoles and multipoles are strictly the
mathematical-geometrical categories of the pure mind. They represent more or less approximately the real
entities, such as an electron, etc. All theories of physics represent at best only
the glimpses of the ultimate reality of nature.
These theories should classify correctly all experimental facts from a specified
region in accordance with some strict logical and / or mathematical rules. They
should be useful hopefully for the prediction of some new phenomena and for the
calculations of some practical problems. But unfortunately, they all must fail at some point.
The ultimate truth of nature is unreachable.
Electromagnetic
Field Equations
The classical Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field
in vacuum ( free space)
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
together with the Lorentz force acting upon a test point
electric charge ( electric monopole) q ( of the mass m )
moving with the velocity in the EB field
(5)
represent the basis for understanding and properly classifying
all electromagnetic phenomena in nature. The notation in the
above equations is conventional in the MKS system of units as
used in any modern textbook on electromagnetism. It must be emphasized
that temperature does not figure explicitly in all
these equations, but temperature can be and must be introduced appropriately in
many physical situations as a parameter.
Gravito-electromagnetic
Field Equations
The equation (2) is the differential form of the Faraday
induction law. It is easy to show (see for example [1], pp.
160-162) that, in the general case of the test point electric
charge moving with the velocity in the magnetic field , the integral form of
the Faraday induction law gives for the induced electric field
, (6)
i.e.,
.
(7)
Since the term is already present in
the Lorentz force (5), the net additional induced electric field
acting upon the moving test point electric charge is . It is clear that this
equation (7) is identical to (2) when which is the fundamental
hypothesis of the classical electromagnetic theory, i.e., the
magnetic monopoles do not exist by definition within the
classical electromagnetic field theory on the basis of the
presumed experimental facts.
Let us consider the following symmetrical Maxwell equations in
vacuum (free space)
(8)
(9)
(10)
, (11)
together with the generalized force expression
, (12)
and also
, , (13)
, , . (14)
Note that in ( 9), ( 7 ), ( 6
), ( 5 ) and in the first term of the force expression (12) is
the single identical quantity in the derivation, while
in the second term of
(12) is another assumed quantity, which is assumed to be
identical to the former one.
G is identified as the universal gravitational constant, is the mass density (per volume) , is the gravitational
field, may be called the
motional field, m is the test point mass (the mass
monopole), and the three quantities n , and are the appropriate constants for the unit
conversions, of which three constants onlyone can be chosen independently to fit the
experimental facts. The equations (8) to (12) are also written in
the form
(15)
(16)
(17)
, (18)
together with
. (19)
The equations (15) to (19) are identical to the corresponding
equations (8) to (12) subject to the identifying equations (13)
and (14).
We assert and declare that the above equations (8) to (19) can
properly and consistently summarize and classify all
experimental and derived facts of the Newton classical
gravitational theory and the classical electromagnetic theory
with the proper choice of onlythe single constant . These equations
represent and define the unified gravito-electromagnetic field,
i.e., they represent the totally unified field theory of
gravitation and electromagnetism. This unified field theory was
proposed by this author in 1963 [2] and earlier, but his various
papers were not published so far. The so far missing magnetic
monopoles are the masses in this theory.
Newton
Field
It is emphasized that the quantity is not "rationalized" from the equation
(8), i.e., (15) in order to conform with the historical form of
the Newton law. Let
, , , (20)
where the volume delta function defines the point mass M located at the
point whose position vector is . Also by assumptionand .
Thus, the equations (8) and (9) become
, , (21)
whose solutions are by definition in
fact (see Appendix )
, , (22)
i.e., from the mathematical point of view, the Newton-Coulomb
law and the Biot-Savart law respectively. For the latter the
condition is that . Introducing these
expressions into the force equation (12) we obtain exactly after
the exact cancellation of the term of force acting on q
. (23)
This is the Newton law of force between the two point masses
with the additional term, which is negligible for the planetary
movements, since is much smaller than c , the speed of
light. The same expression is also valid outside the constant
spherically symmetrical mass distribution around with . The velocity
dependence of the force (23) is useful in some physical
situations, as in the case of the planet Mercury, etc. It
must be mentioned here in connection with this formula (23), that due to the
velocity dependence of this force (23), the problem of the interaction of more
than two bodies is extremely complex and difficult to handle, just as the
formally similar problem of the interaction of more than two electrically
charged particles in the classical electromagnetic field theory.
Note that the force acting on q (electric test monopole
) is exactly zero in this case, regardless of whether moving or
stationary. The strict monopolar
gravitational, i.e., magnetic (by
definition (13)) field cannot be detected by the electric
monopoles - electric point charges, or, otherwise, the Faraday induction law breaks down,
although due to the mass property each of those electric monopoles experiences
the force given by (23), which may be rather weak depending on masses. This
explains the zero results in the extensive
but so far futile search for the magnetic monopoles. This unified
field theory is based actually on the hypothesis, which
identifies the so far missing magnetic monopoles with the masses.
The analysis and the criticism of the modified Newton law
expression (23) are beyond the scope of this brief paper, but it
should be pointed out that this force (23) is purely
mathematically valid for any velocity, even for v = c and v >
c . The physical consequence of this mathematical fact must be
considered carefully, whether this may be useful and applicable
or not. Of course, c is the speed of light in the free space. It
is obvious from (23) that this modified Newton force (23) is
strictly attractive for v < c , but it can become
repulsive for v > c, which is very interesting.
Some astrophysical observations of the expanding universe and the
distant galaxies, which appear to be moving away from each other
with the velocities exceeding c, appear to agree qualitatively
with this modified Newton law (23), but further research is
necessary. The mutual recession of the galaxies from each other,
with a recessional velocity proportional to their distance from
one another apparently exceeding the speed of light c, appears to
be only the jargon to conceal the existence of the velocities
between the physical entities - galaxies - moving with respect to
each other with the velocities exceeding the speed of light c in
contravention to the relativity theories.
Origin of
Conventional Large - scale Magnetic Fields of Celestial Bodies
This unified gravito-electromagnetic field theory offers the
consistent explanation of the origin and the variations of the conventional
large-scale magnetic fields of massive celestial bodies, such as
planets, Sun and stars. Let , , and be the given constant
(time invariant ) mass distribution. Also by assumption and . The general solution of (8) , i.e.,
(15) is in such a case
, (24)
where the scalar potential U is
. (25)
Now the potential U is developed in the Taylor series about the coordinate origin which is defined
to coincide with the center of gravity of the observed mass
distribution, i.e., the point where the self gravity is zero.The center of mass was used so far in geophysics, but inappropriately, since
the dipole term is zero in such a case by
definition.That resulted in the
inadequate International Gravity Formula for the planet Earth with the so far inexplicable gravity
anomalies, see for example [3]. These two centers of gravity and of mass
never coincide for the real celestial bodies, except for the
perfectly symmetrical ones never occurring in nature. So
, (26)
where only two non-zero terms are retained. Of course, the
observation point is outside that mass.
is the total mass, while
(27)
is the first moment of the observed mass distribution, where by definition is the
position vector of the center of mass of that mass distribution
with respect to the center of gravity, which is the coordinate
origin by assumption and choice. That first moment is never zero for any real
celestial body, including the Earth. The second dipolar term ( dipolar by
definition without any need for " positive " and "
negative" masses or monopoles) is
missed in the International Gravity Formula for theplanet
Earth,since the Taylor development was
about the center of mass, so that two different flattenings must
be used with that formula, for the northern hemisphere, and for the southern hemisphere (see
[3], p.79).This fact indicates
unmistakably the presence of the dipolar term which must be
present in the correct Earth's gravity formula. Of course, the centrifugal acceleration must be included in it. The
Coriolis acceleration applies for the moving mass point. Using
(26) for U, the equation (24) gives for the free space
outside the mass distribution
. (28)
The divergence of this expression is by definition
.
(29)
Note that the dipolar term in (28) has zero divergence by
definition. Introducing (29) into (9), and since , and , we obtain
, (30)
whose solution is by definition the familiar mathematical form
of the Biot-Savart law ( cf. Appendix )
, (31)
with . Using (28) and (31) ,
the force expression (12) gives
. (32)
The quantity
(33)
in the first term of this force expression (32) is recognized
as the conventional large-scale magnetic field of the Earth (or
any other observed celestial body). The local anomalies of the
conventional Earth's magnetic field (or the celestial body) can
be accounted for by introducing the appropriate electric current
and / or ferromagnetic distributions as is done in the classical
electromagnetic theory, which is totally and obviously embraced
by this unified field theory. Of course, the better approximation
for (33) can be obtained by using additional terms in the Taylor
series for U, equation (26). If the motion of the
electric point charge is considered, such as the electron, then
the force term in (32) which is multiplied by the mass m is
quite negligible as it is well known. For the closed loop through
which the steady electric current is flowing, the calculation of
the torque is straightforward by using the first term in (32),
while the second term, gravitational in the conventional sense,
is properly balanced by the appropriate hinges, i.e., axes and
bearings in the usual way. The presence of centrifugal and
Coriolis accelerations is inconsequential for that. The
conventional large-scale Earth's magnetic field as the first approximation is written in the
form ( see for example [4] )
, (34)
where is the conventional
Earth's magnetic dipole moment. Equating (33) and (34) yields
. (35)
The numerical values in the MKS system of units for the planet
Earth are:
, , ,
, so that the
equation (35 ) yields
. (36)
Both and are unknown. The
additional experimental fact is necessary. Data from the recently
reported levitations of the organic matters by the conventional
magnetic fields are not available to this author. The available
gravity data are inadequate to obtain or , since those data are referred to the International Gravity
Formula for the planet Earth, which is inadequate. That Gravity Formula includes, beside the centrifugal term
and a fitting term, only the first
gravity term as the consequence of the inappropriate
choice of the center of mass as the coordinate origin, with
respect to which the first moment of the mass distribution is
zero by definition. It is well known that there is the
uncertainty of the order of 10mGals = 10-4 m/s2
(1Gal = 1cm/s2) about the reference value of the
gravity (the difference between the International Gravity Formula
in [3] ( cf. also [5] ) and the Bowie gravity
formula Number 2 for instance, etc.). The observed gravitational
anomalies reduced to the sea level are also of the order of
10mGals. Consequently, those data are uncertain for the
evaluation of i.e., , and even less as the vectors with their directions. With
the assumed value of the order of 10 m, the dipolar
term in the gravity formula (i.e., the expression (28) divided by
) may contribute up to
3x10-5 m/s2 = 3mGals at the sea level
depending on the location. It is too optimistic to expect that
the dipolar term may resolve all observed gravitational
anomalies, but its inclusion in the gravity formula is essential
together with the center of gravity for the coordinate origin of
the unique global coordinate system to which all gravity data are
to be referred . Anyway, if the dipolar term is to contribute
about 10mGals , then should be of the order of 33m with in MKS units from (36).
The value of is certainly different for different materials, and only the average value of is present in all equations of this unified
field theory, when the problems of the large celestial bodies are
considered. The direct measurements by the
applications of the conventional magnetic fields may be difficult
and very much masked by the paramagnetic and/or diamagnetic
effects and also by the ferromagnetic effects for the
ferromagnetic materials. It is clear from the second definition
expression in (14) that is associated with the permeability, and its value
for all materials except the ferromagnetic materials is estimated
to be around 1 in MKS units, since its average value for the
planet Earth is probably around 1 in MKS units on the basis of
the Earth's gravity anomalies, but all these values must be
determined experimentally in the further research. All these measurements are
obviously closely connected with the experiments of levitation of various
objects by the application of some very strong conventional magnetic fields
produced by electric currents as reported in 1997. by the University of
Nottingham, England which results are not available to this author.
In this connection, the Eotvos effect of the weak dependence of
the pendulum period on the material of which that pendulum is
made, can be explained by the difference of the value of for the different materials with the appropriate
model using the generalized force expression (12), i.e., (19) (
internal electric charges must be taken into account), and which
must include the proper origin of the local gravito-magnetic
field with the proper distributions of the various materials at
that locality. Also, since the value of is different for the different materials, it should
be possible to create a model in association with the generalized
force expression (12), i.e., (19) together with the modified
Newton law (23) and the local gravito-magnetic field to account
for the apparently observed and reported since 1980's substance-dependent
non-Newtonian forces and other gravitational anomalies, but more
research is necessary. Anyway, this unified field theory eliminates any need to
add to the absurd four fundamental forces of nature an additional fifth one as
some researchers suggested in order to account for those observed non-Newtonian
forces.
Conclusion
The system of the symmetrical Maxwell equations (8) to (11),
i.e., (15) to (18) with the generalized force expression (12),
i.e., (19), subject to the equations (13) and (14), offers the
simple and absolutely consistent way to summarize and classify
all experimental gravito-electromagnetic phenomena in nature,
thus unifying in the strictest possible way the grandiose works
of Newton, Faraday and Maxwell. No inconsistencies or
contradictions whatsoever have been found by this author subject
to the definitions as stated in Appendix.
This unified gravito-electromagnetic field theory could
be easily reconciled with the special theory of relativity, but
this theory is much wider and includes gravitation. However,
although some results from the general theory of relativity can
be obtained from this unified field theory, nevertheless, this
unified field theory and the general theory of relativity exclude
each other . Namely, this unified field theory admits only gh,
i.e., BE, i.e., gravito-electromagnetic waves, while the general
theory of relativity predicted the existence of the gravitational
waves which have not been found so far in spite of the extensive
search during the major portion of this 20th century which is
about to end shortly. Moreover, as stated earlier in this paper,
this unified gravito-electromagnetic field theory is
mathematically valid for the velocities greater than c , and it
admits such velocities formally if they exist, while the
relativity theories, both special and general, postulate the
speed of light c as the limiting velocity which cannot be
exceeded, and they are not valid and applicable for the
velocities exceeding c by definition. Only further research must
resolve this puzzling issue whether the speed of light is the
limiting velocity or not. There is no logical reason whatsoever
that only the velocities, of all other
physical quantities, must be limited to some particular limiting
value, so no theory of physics should be formally
limited to some particular value for the velocities
, although there may be even some very serious physical problems
to approach and/or exceed the speed of light c . As mentioned
earlier in this paper, some astrophysical observations of the
expanding universe appear to notice the velocities greater than c
, but more research is necessary. The recently reported results of the Boomerang
Project (see NATURE, April 2000 and BBC Internet Site, April 26, 2000) disproved
the prediction of the general theory of relativity that light - bunch of
electromagnetic waves - is bent by the gravitational field, but that finding is
in full conformity with this unified field theory.
This unified field theory shows that the search for the
magnetic monopoles must have been in vain, since, as shown in
this paper (paragraph Newton Field), the pure monopolar magnetic,
i.e., gravitational field does not exert any force upon the test
electric monopoles, regardless of whether the test electric
monopoles are moving or stationary. The extensive search for the
magnetic monopoles was futile so far, leading to many statements
in the literature and the textbooks that the magnetic monopoles
do not exist at all in nature, which is wrong apparently from the
point of view of this theory. Since the numerical value of according to the
equation (8) is quite small in the MKS system of units, it is
clear that its influence is important only in the cases of the
very large mass distributions, such as the celestial bodies.
The original contribution of this unified field theory is the
explanation of the origin and the variations of the conventional large-scale
magnetic fields of the massive celestial bodies, planets, Sun and
stars on the basis of the first moment of the mass distribution
with respect to the center of gravity, i.e.,, where is the position vector of the center of
mass with respect to the center of gravity of the observed
celestial body with the inexorable variations due to the
gravitational interactions upon each other, when a number of the
celestial bodies are observed. Thus, in the case of the planet
Earth, it follows from this unified field theory that the
conventional large-scale Earth's magnetic field must be
influenced by Moon, Sun and other planets. Daily, monthly,
seasonal and other variations of the conventional Earth's
magnetic field were observed and measured long time ago but
hardly understood and difficult to account for within the dynamo
theory, except through the gravitational
variations of the vertical plumb lines, see [6] and also [4].
The wandering of the Earth's magnetic poles must be connected
with the continental drift on the basis of this unified field
theory. That correlation, as well as the correlation between the
conventional Earth's magnetic field disturbances and the
earthquakes were proposed in the literature some time ago. These
correlations are the natural consequences of this unified field
theory.
The oscillation of the center of mass with respect to the
center of gravity of the observed celestial body offers the
straightforward explanation for the disturbances and the reversal
of the conventional large-scale magnetic field of the observed
body. The disturbances and the possible reversal depend on the internal state condition of, and the external influences-forces upon the
observed celestial body. The disturbances and the reversals of
the conventional large-scale magnetic fields of various celestial
bodies are observed, measured and reported with widely different
periods, but hardly understood so far.
The conventional large-scale solar magnetic dipole was
observed almost perpendicular to the axis of the rotation of the Sun (see [7]),
which is impossible to comprehend within the assumed dynamo theory of the origin
of that field. But from the point of view of this unified field theory,
the center of gravity and the center of mass of the Sun are
approximately in the ecliptic plane and subject to the
gravitational pulls by the revolving planets, among which Jupiter
predominates by far. The combined action of the planets stretch the Sun creating
the observed solar first mass moment, i.e., the solar magnetic dipole moment,
which depends obviously on the movements of the planets (
compare the Equation (35) above ),. This provides the natural straightforward
model for the explanation of the solar cycle and the sunspots,
with the period of the solar cycle of about 11 years determined
to a large extent by the period of the revolution of Jupiter of
11.86 years, although the influences of the other planets cannot
be neglected.. The observed Sun's conventional magnetic field in
the vicinity of the planet Earth of 5x10-9 Teslas (see [8], p. 503 ) corresponds to the distance between the Sun's center of gravity
and the Sun's center of mass of 70 km, if n2 for the
Sun is equal to 1 in the MKS units. This value appears reasonable
compared to the Sun's diameter of 1.39x106 km. The
Sun's center of gravity is the point from which the Sun attracts
the planets by its gravity, while the Sun's center of mass is the
point of the gravitational attractions of the Sun by the planets.
This unified gravito-electromagnetic field theory offers the
possibility to model the electric charge as the spinning mass
gravitationally stabilized with the natural possibility for the
sign reversal of that electric charge model when subjected to the
appropriate external influences-forces. Such a model must take
into account the apparent variation of the electrical charge with
the velocity, particularly when the velocity approaches the speed
of light c, at which speed the electrical charge becomes zero
apparently.
Also, this unified gravito-electromagnetic field theory offers
the definite explanations of the oldest known phenomenon of the
triboelectricity and of the phenomenon of lightnings. In both
these phenomena, the movements of the initially electrically
uncharged masses are essential to give rise to the electric
fields necessary for the separations of the mobile but loosely
bound electrical charges. This is in full agreement with the
equation (9) of the fundamental symmetrical Maxwell equations,
which mathematically states that the moving masses create the
electric field. The conventional explanations of these two
phenomena utilize the concepts of the work functions and the
contact potentials, but the need for the relative movements of
the different materials remains obscure and not strictly defined.
It must be emphasized again here that temperature is not present explicitly in the
equations of this unified field theory, but temperature can be and must be
introduced as a parameter in many physical situations in the same way as in the
classical electromagnetic field theory and the Newton gravitational field theory
More research is necessary in many directions opened up by
this unified gravito-electromagnetic field theory, including levitation of various objects by the application of the very strong conventional magnetic
fields as reported by the University of Nottingham, England in 1997, which
results appear to agree perfectly with this unified field theory, although this
author was unable so far to obtain the results of those experiments.
EXPERIMENTS
TO ACCELERATE CHARGED PARTICLES ABOVE THE SPEED OF LIGHT
The theoretical reasonings for the experiments proposed by
this author to accelerate the charged particles above the speed
of light are clarified and added here on May 29, 2000 for the
world community, since this author was unable to obtain support
for such experiments. These theoretical conclusions and
reasonings can be obtained immediately from this unified field
theory by any attentive and imaginative reader. Namely, it is
obvious from this unified field theory of gravitation and
electromagnetism (see especially the section in this paper
entitled Origin of Conventional Large-scale Magnetic Fields of
Celestial Bodies), that the first mass moment of the observed
mass distribution, calculated with respect to the center of
self-gravity of that mass distribution and multiplied by the
appropriate constant subject to the experimental determination of
n2 and the proper unit conversion, is nothing else but
the conventional magnetic dipole moment. The spinning of the
magnetic dipole moment produces the electrical charge as Herbert
Jehle (Phys. Rev. D 3, 306, 1971; Phys. Rev. D 6, 441, 1972;
Phys. Rev. D 11, 2147, 1975) proposed and analyzed with the
spinning in all directions averaged over the sphere. The basic
tentative model of the electrically charged particle, which is
obviously suggested from the macroscopic domain by this unified
field theory and carried over consistently into the microscopic
domain by this author as the working hypothetical axial
structure, is an ultra miniature gyroscope of mass, almost a
point mass, to call it an atogyro by using the prefix ato (10-18),
the smallest of all such prefixes. Of course, mass is the a
priori understood and accepted category of the pure mind, just like
length and time in classical physics. That tiny mass - atogyro is inevitably in
the gravitational field of the Earth, and perhaps other fields. It is also subject
to its own gravitational field. As the consequence of the present external
gravitational field, that tiny mass must obtain the non-zero first mass moment,
since only in the totally free space, free of any external field whatsoever,
that tiny mass assumes the perfect spherical shape being only
subject to its own totally spherically symmetrical Newton field. That tiny mass -
atogyro spins tentatively in one direction, or perhaps even more elaborately as
Jehle proposed and analyzed, and
is quantized and self-gravitationally stabilized,
but it may perform various precessional and other movements
subject to some additional
fields in accordance with the generalized force Equation (12) of
this paper. Its electrical charge is the direct product of its
angular velocity and its first mass moment, i.e. magnetic dipole moment as Jehle
showed. That electrical charge becomes zero when the spinning
stops, or when its first mass moment becomes zero, which occurs
whenever that atogyro finds itself in the space free of any
gravitational, i.e., magnetic field. Namely, in the totally free
space and only under the self-gravitational Newton field, the
center of mass and the center of self-gravity of the atogyro must
coincide, logically and in view of the experimental evidence, but
its spinning continues in accordance with the principle of the
conservation of energy and angular momentum. The atogyro
is an electrical charge only in the presence of a gravitational,
i.e., magnetic field, and it can change its sign when the total
applied gravitational, i.e., magnetic field is reversed.
It is concluded from the generalized force Equation (12), that
the applied electric field cannot change directly the relative
positions of the center of mass and the center of self-gravity,
i.e., its electrical charge property and its sign, but it can
produce or induce the precessional and other movements of that atogyro. This is very briefly the tentative working model of the electrical charge
within this theory as described qualitatively, whose further
theoretical and quantitative developments can proceed only after
some necessary experiments.
This tentative model of the elementary electrical charge - electron shows
that within this unified field theory all elementary particles, including
neutrons, must possess the intrinsic magnetic dipole moments, i.e., the
intrinsic first mass moments with respect to their centers of self-gravity within the
unavoidable and inexorable gravitational field, THUS TOTALLY AND LOGICALLY
ELIMINATING ANY NEED FOR THE ASSUMED AND PRESUMABLY "DETECTED"
"SUB-ELEMENTARY" TRANSIENT ELECTRICALLY CHARGED PARTICLES, LIKE QUARKS, ETC.,
WHICH, ALTHOUGH "TRANSIENT", PRESUMABLY REVOLVE INSIDE THE ELEMENTARY
PARTICLES, LIKE NEUTRONS, ETC. TO CREATE THE OBSERVED MAGNETIC DIPOLE MOMENTS (see [9]
p.381) IN THE OBVIOUS VIOLATION OF LOGIC. This
model is in the full harmony with the disapproval of the hypothesis of quarks by
some outstanding scientists, like Heisenberg and others, see [10], p.609. It is emphasized here that any theory of physics
and particles, which neglects or omits the inevitable gravitational field, whose
presence makes the space essentially anisotropic, is logically incomplete and consequently
erroneous to a certain extent.
This atogyro model of the electrical charge can easily explain
the occurrence of the so-called "holes" - the positive
electrical charge carriers - present only inside p-type
semiconductors and some common metals like beryllium, cadmium and zinc,
with the appropriate model of the gravitational influence of the nuclei of the
atoms. This model of the electrically charged particle can be used
to explain the presumed "dual" nature of light
apparently manifested by the photo-electric effect without
resorting to the concept of the duality of the nature of light
which was proposed by this author in Reference [2]. This
model of the electrical charge confirms the belief of the
well-known German mathematician and philosopher of science Hugo Dingler as
mentioned in this author's letter dated February 8, 2000, POPPER
VERSUS EINSTEIN, enclosed on this Internet site as Addenda.
This model of the electrical charge can explain why the
attempts so far to accelerate the charged particles above the
speed of light were unsuccessful. Namely, the acceleration
attempts were made with the Cockcroft-Walton and Van de Graaff
accelerators of few MeV at most, initially in the vertical
direction, which is probably the preferred direction, and
afterwards with much greater energies by the cyclotrons and the
synchrotrons exclusively in the horizontal direction, which is
the natural direction for those accelerators, but definitely
inappropriate from the point of view of this unified field
theory. All such attempts were made with the utter
disregard of the gravitational effects upon the accelerating
charged particles, which effects were assumed to be of no
consequence whatsoever, which is erroneous. This theory
shows that in view of the modified Newton law, Equation (23), and
the generalized force, Equation (12), the presence of the
anti-gravitational term, second term in (23), i.e. the
antigravity, overcomes the gravity during the acceleration when the movement of the accelerating charged particle is in
the horizontal direction and
when the velocity of that accelerating charged particle approaches
the speed of light. This, in view of the above described model of
the electrical charge, causes the electrical charge of that
particle to become zero, since
its first moment becomes zero due to the absence of the external applied
gravitational field ( gravity and anti-gravity in the Equation (23) canceling each other ), or even worse, to change its sign, thus
making the further acceleration impossible. This is the
explanation of the failure to exceed the speed of light, which is
derived from this theory. The electrical charge apparently
becomes zero when its velocity becomes equal to the sped of light
in certain circumstances evidently. The relativists saw in such
unsuccessful attempts to exceed the speed of light the proof that
the mass of the accelerating charged particle becomes infinite
when the speed of light is reached, which is physically obviously
impossible and logically absurd, although the correct conclusion
is obtained that further acceleration is impossible, which is the
same conclusion as obtained by this unified field theory. But the
atogyro model of the electrical charge of this unified field
theory is both physically and logically quite obviously possible,
while the infinity of mass, to repeat once more, is physically
obviously impossible and logically absurd. Moreover, the infinity
of mass when v = c leaves no way out from that impasse, no hope
whatsoever, only the absolute absurdity for ever and ever.
However, this unified field theory offers the possibility to
approach this problem of the acceleration of the charged particle
above the speed of light differently, by avoiding the points in
space and time where the electrical charge, i.e. the first mass
moment of the accelerating atogyro becomes zero, or even worse,
reverses its sign, by using the appropriately chosen and
experimentally found direction in space and by applying the
additional conventional magnetic field in the appropriate
direction at the right moment in time, and even perhaps by
switching off and / or reversing perhaps the applied accelerating
electric field at the right moment in time, i.e., by
experimentations to find the way to exceed the speed of light by
the accelerating charged particle. This is the way out from this
impasse as offered by this unified field theory. These
experiments may lead to the further progress of science with the
hope as indicated by this unified field theory. But the
experiments to accelerate the charged particles by building more
and more powerful accelerators represent the utter absurdity of
the waste of time and money, if the infinity of mass when v = c
is accepted as the absolute truth - law, which this unified field
theory rejects. This author believes that the experiments should
continue by all means as outlined above.
Such acceleration projects need the C-W and / or VdG
accelerator of few MV, a custom built vacuum electron tube of
about 0.1 m in diameter of about 2 - 3 m in length with the
movable and switchable electromagnet probably concentric with
that tube, and the time counter with the electron beam sensors
capable of response and discrimination of 1 nanosecond or better.
The tube should be mounted inside the appropriate gimbals, so
that it can be moved to any direction in space inside a suitable
laboratory. This author believes and his calculations show that
it is possible with such basic equipments to find experimentally
the direction of that tube and the moments of switchings in time,
so to propel the electrons above the speed of light. The
estimated cost of such a project amounts to few millions of US
dollars, or less, if some basic equipments are already available.
This cost is small compared to many billions of US dollars
already spent so far on the various acceleration projects without
exceeding the speed of light.
This author invites all scientific institutions of the world
to consider and support the experiments outlined above. These
experiments offer hope for the break-through, while the so far
funded acceleration projects led hopelessly to the impasse
mentioned above, without exceeding the speed of light, which must
have been expected if the infinity of mass when v = c is believed
to be the absolute law of nature, which this unified field theory
rejects to repeat once more, and this theory shows that the
impasse was due because the gravitational effects on the
accelerating charged particles were totally neglected. Whatever results
are obtained in the experiments proposed on the basis of this
unified field theory, those results will probably enrich the
scientific knowledge of the world community.
Appendix
The expressions in (22) must
be defined as the
solutions of the respective equations in (21), which involve the
generalized volume delta function. These expressions are the
Green functions, i.e., the kernels of the integral forms of the
Newton-Coulomb law and the Biot-Savart law respectively from the
mathematical point of view.These definitions must be accepted to
conform with the mentioned laws.The first
expression in (22) is the polar vector. It is mathematically the
Newton-Coulomb law for the point mass or charge. Its divergence
is zero everywhere in the space except at the singular point.
That definition is consistent. The second expression in (22) is
the axial vector, i.e., the antisymmetric tensor. Once more, it must
be defined as the solution of the second equation in
(21). Mathematically, it is the kernel of the
Biot-Savart law in the integral form and also of Ampere's law of
force between the two current carrying line elements. The curl of
that second expression in (22) does not yield zero anywhere in
the space as it should according to the second equation in (21).
This is an obvious mathematical difficulty, which is originated
from the Biot-Savart law and the Ampere law in which the
principle of equality of action and reaction is violated in the
differential domain, and both laws are mathematically inadequate.
Anybody who does not accept this second definition must take the
task to find a new and more acceptable formula to substitute for
the Biot-Savart law and the Ampere law in their present forms
with the consequential changes of the Lorentz force expression,
etc. Judging from the enormous efforts and controversies for
about two decades at the beginning of the 19th century, which
resulted in the now accepted forms of the Ampere law and the
Biot-Savart law, that task is almost certainly mission impossible. The form of the Biot-Savart law was suggested by
Laplace himself to his disciples Biot and Savart (and to Ampere probably,
although Ampere claimed that his law was experimental) and is therefore often referred to in the literature as
the Laplace law. If that second
definition is rejected together with this unified field theory
without finding a new formula as outlined above as a new law to
substitute for the actual Biot-Savart law and other consequential
formulas, then gravitation and magnetism will remain forever
doomed to be side by side without any interconnection, ridiculously referred to
as the first and the second force of nature, although a
weak conventional magnetic field and a weak gravitational field
are present together and measured everywhere in the free
interplanetary space! And, further, the large-scale conventional
magnetic fields of the celestial bodies, of which many with the
extremely high temperatures both on their surfaces and within,
will have to be forever "explained by assuming that they are
due to an actual flow of electric current of high amperage"
(quotation from a textbook) by some assumed dynamo action
miraculously creating order - magnetic fields - from disorder -
heat - in violation of the fundamental principle of the
conservation of energy ! And the observed magnetic dipole moments of the
electrically uncharged (neutral) "elementary" particles, such as
neutrons, will have to be "explained" by the
"sub-elementary" revolving electrically charged
"sub-particles", like quarks etc. which is logically absurd. And, further, the observed movement of
the galaxies from each other with velocities exceeding the speed
of light c, will forever be referred to as the recession of the
galaxies with one constant defined as the antigravity, rather
than accepting the repulsion, i.e., the antigravity, which is
contained in the modified Newton law (23) of this unified gravito-electromagnetic field theory when the velocities exceed
the speed of light c ! And , further, the apparently observed
substance-dependent non-Newtonian force will have to be explained
by postulating the existence of "the fifth force" and
even " the sixth force", and what not, rather than one
single set of the symmetrical Maxwell equations of this unified gravito-electromagnetic field with some definitions and the
experimentally determined constants for all materials and the
appropriate models for the problems under considerations! And
the enormous data from geophysics, in particular from
geomagnetism and inexplicable gravity anomalies and from solar
and stellar magnetism suggest strongly and manifestly at the
identity of gravity and magnetism, or more precisely, magnetism is a specific
manifestation of gravitation. Recently reported levitation results and prospecting for oil and other non-ferromagnetic materials by the
measurements of the geomagnetic field [sic] as well as the
gravitational field show the unmistakable interconnections
between these two fields. All those data fit very well within
this proposed unified field theory with the second expression in
(22) accepted as the defined solution of the second equation in
(21). The mentioned mathematical difficulty, which originates
from the mathematical inadequacy in the differential domain of
both the Biot-Savart law and the Ampere law, shows only the
inadequacy of mathematics as the extremely precise but certainly
limited language to properly describe nature and its phenomena.
Sommerfeld [11] pointed out another mathematical difficulty in the
classical electromagnetic field theory. It can be also argued
that the second expression in (22) is the approximate solution of
the second equation in (21), so that the conclusions of this
unified field theory are approximate, if not exact. But the total
rejection of all conclusions of this unified field theory as
encountered so far for over three decades without giving any
reason is certainly absurd and manifests only the antiscientific
prejudiced closed minds of the rejectors-editors, who ignored the
submitted papers of this author often without returning the
submitted manuscripts.

Dear Dr. Maddox:
I listened with great interest to the feature program AGENDA on
the British Broadcasting Corporation at 07:30 GMT (UTC),
Sunday, October 31, 1999, in which you took part. The discussion
was about what there is still to be discovered in science.
Your views on that subject are expressed in your recently
published book on that subject, which book I had no opportunity
so far to read. I concur with your opinion which you expressed
during the said BBC program that the obvious and total
incompatibility of the quantum theory and the general theory of
relativity is an obvious problem which should be resolved. It
appears that that problem is unresolvable, and it appears that
the quantum theory or the general theory of relativity must be
discarded as the only logically possible solution. I believe on
the basis of my unified field theory of gravitation and
electromagnetism that the latter should be discarded, since after
the extensive and rather expensive search for the predicted (!?)
gravitational waves during the major portion of this century, no
trace of such gravitational waves was ever detected.
I must point out that the discussion during the said BBC program
never touched an obviously still unresolved scientific problem
which is the relationship between gravitation and
electromagnetism, i.e., the unified field theory. That problem is
the greatest unresolved problem in physics. The gravitational
fields and the electromagnetic fields have been observed
macroscopically for centuries, but it is strange to realize that
no relationship between those fields has ever been proposed or
discovered, except for my unified field theory of gravitation and
electromagnetism which has been suppressed from publication for
over 3 (three) decades by all scientific journals to which
submitted without any critical opinions, i.e., dogmatically,
including NATURE during your editorship, and again exactly a year
ago. So I put on the Internet Site
https://members.tripod.com/~djuricfield/
my brief paper entitled UNIFICATION OF GRAVITATION AND
ELECTROMAGNETISM, and that paper is still on that Internet Site.
My theory contradicts obviously the general theory of relativity,
as well as the special theory of relativity, although my unified
field theory could be reconciled with the special theory of
relativity, but never with the general theory of relativity. I am
writing this letter to you, since I hope that the search for
truth, scientific as well as any other truth, is as dear to you
as it is to me. I must tell you that the suppression of my theory
from publication denied me the opportunity so far to secure
financial support for the experiments which should corroborate my
theory. I stayed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA (this is my
domicile) for 5 (five) weeks during the (last) summer of 1999,
and I tried to obtain support for an experiment to accelerate
electrons above the speed of light, which is possible on the
basis of my theory, in which mass does not vary
with the velocity, but the electrical charge, being a definite
structure, does vary with the velocity and even becomes zero at the
speed of light. But untold millions of dollars are still spent on
the search for the predicted (!?) gravitational waves and the
missing magnetic monopoles, which are mass monopoles in my
theory, but no funds are available to try to achieve what
is dogmatically believed to be impossible! And the learned
professors of the past such as William Thompson - Lord Kelvin proved that the objects heavier than air
cannot ever fly, but the Wright brothers did not listen and did
it anyway! Since it is indeed the human destiny to reach the
unreachable stars! My theory may be even wrong, but it certainly
shows the way to truth!
I hope and trust that the BBC will disclose the content of this
letter to its audience worldwide during the next feature program
AGENDA, and other suitable programs, such as Discovery, Science
in Action, etc. At the moment that this letter is being
written, the BBC is broadcasting the report from the BBC
correspondent in Belgrade, Ms. Jackie Rowland, reporting about
the surrealistic political situation in Belgrade, but I had to
live and survive for over 3 decades with the surreality in the
present surrealistic scientific world community. Thank you very much
for your attention to this letter.
Sincerely,
Jovan Djuric

Gentlemen:
Following my Open letter to Dr. John Maddox, retired former
Editor of NATURE of October 31, 1999, I believe that some
explanations are in order, which were implied in my original
letter.
First, it must be clearly stated that many BBC programs, besides
being very informative and entertaining, are being
broadcasted in the public interest on behalf of the entire
humanity, for which BBC enjoys a special status in the United
Kingdom and throughout the world. I believe that my two letters
are also in the public interest. Also, the scientific journals of
the world are published undoubtedly in the public interest in
search for truth. But it appears to me that some scientific journals
have failed in the case of my theoretical papers dogmatically
suppressing the publication of my theory, since my theory
contradicts obviously the relativity theories. It must be pointed
out that "it (the relativity theory) is readily demolished
by the application of a little reason" to quote verbatim Dr. L.
Essen, Fellow of the Royal Society in his Friday Evening
Discourse on
26th November, 1971 before the Royal Institution of Great
Britain, The Proceedings of the Royal Institution of Great
Britain, Volume 45, pp. 141-160, 1972, who also stated there:
"It is often thought that inconsistent or useless theories
die a
natural death as they are replaced by more useful ones, but there
is little evidence of this happening in the case of the
relativity
theory." I believe that the relativity theories should be
abandoned as counterproductive as I stated in my letter of
October 31,
1999. Here I want to disclose how the publication of my theory
was prevented during the past year in the form of my brief
paper UNIFICATION OF GRAVITATION AND ELECTROMAGNETISM as
presented on the Internet Site
https://members.tripod.com/~djuricfield/
I believe that this disclosure is very much in the public
interest and closely connected with the issues discussed in
the BBC program AGENDA on Sunday, October 31, 1999. The dogmatic
prevention of the publication of new ideas
impedes the progress of science.
Namely, the hard copy of a somewhat shorter version of the above
paper was air-mailed on September 14, 1998 to the
Editor of NATURE after the careful examination of the NATURE
publication policy as stated on the NATURE Internet Site. I
expected to receive the critical opinion of my theory at least if
it is not published. On December 10, 1998 I received the
envelope with the hard copy of my paper obviously untouched and
unread with the NATURE Card attached to it with the date 30 NOV
1998 and the printed message: "The Editor thanks you for
your communication but regrets that he is unable to publish it.
He regrets that he cannot enter into further correspondence on
this matter." The Editor of NATURE Dr. Phillip Campbell
violated his own proclaimed publication policy and acted against
the public interest in the search for truth! Then I decided to
put my paper as a presentation on the Internet Site as stated
above in order to expedite the transfer electronically. It was
offered electronically early in January 1999 to the New
Scientist, which politely informed me that the New Scientist does
not publish the original research papers and suggested other
journals. The Editors of the Scientific American early in January
1999 refused my paper stating that they publish only the invited
review papers. On January 13, 1999 my paper was electronically
submitted to the Physica Scripta. After a great deal of lost
time, during which the Editor's Office in Stockholm and its
Publishing Office in Bristol, UK, Ms. Fiona Pattison, Journal
Controller exhibited probable problems with the obsolete
computer hardware and/or software, problems with downloading as
Ms. Fiona Pattison stated, so I had to retype my
manuscript to make it more readily available to them. I received
on May 4, 1999 the hard copy (?!) of the rejection letter by
Dr Waeppling, Executive Editor dated March 30, 1999 with the
following Report of the referee dated March 23, 1999: "This
paper is of highly speculative nature, clearly beyond the scope
of a respected journal like Physica Scripta. I cannot recommend
its publication." This is clearly a dogmatic rejection
showing only the intolerance to the new ideas. I felt cheated of
time of almost 4 months and extra expenses which I spent to make
my paper available to them upon their request, since I received
no opinion whatsoever, and I asked that my extra expenses be
reimbursed by the Physica Scripta Office, which Dr. Waeppling
refused. Besides the intolerance to the new ideas, the Editorial
Office of the Physica Scripta showed the incompetence in the
electronic handling of the manuscript and wasted time and money
with hard copies. Then my paper was electronically submitted on
May 31, 1999 to the Journal of Physics A which rejected it fairly
promptly on June 20, 1999 suggesting that my paper be submitted
to some pedagogical journal (sic!) without a single word of
comments about my theory. This attitude is certainly not in the
public interest of the search for truth. On October 10, my paper
was offered electronically to Professor Friedrich Hehl,
co-editor, Annalen der Physik, and, I understand, it is under
review at this moment with some time lost, since Professor Hehl
is at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, away from
his regular position at the University of Koeln.
I must state at the end of this letter that my theory is not
speculative in the least, as anybody can see and read it from the
stated Internet Site. My theory represents the consistent
synthesis spanning 3 (three) centuries of the grandiose works of
Newton, Faraday and Maxwell, the three founders of modern physics
with the strict adherence to the well-proven
Newtonian concepts-foundations. All experimental facts from
geophysics, geomagnetism and our planetary system fit very
well within this proposed theory like an enormous jigsaw puzzle,
but there is a problem which is clearly stated and discussed. I
sincerely believe that my theoretical approach is of interest for
the further progress of the scientific thought and physics. I
need
support to perform some experiments, in particular to try to
accelerate the electrons above the speed of light, which, I
believe, is possible. The distant galaxies are observed to be
moving away from each other with the velocities exceeding the
speed of light c in contravention to the dogmatic belief that the
speed of light c is the limiting velocity which cannot be
exceeded. But dogmatism is the gravest, most dangerous enemy of
the humanity in general, and of the science in
particular. This dogma about the velocity appears to be only the
self fulfilling prophesy, since if it is never tried, the speed
of
light will never be exceeded, and the prophesy is thus fulfilled!
I believe that it is necessary to try to exceed the speed of
light, and I have no doubt whatsoever that one day somebody will
succeed in such an attempt! I believe that it is
self-evident that the theoretical physics, beside its obvious
usefulness in the calculations of many diverse physical
problems,
has the paramount goal to search for the ultimate truth of the
nature and the presumed underlying order of the universe. It is
the beauty and the grandeur of the presumed and perceived order
of the universe, Kant's starry sky, that creates the zeal which
is necessary in the pursuit of the ultimate truth of nature, no
matter how unattainable and unreachable it may appear to be! I
must repeat that it is the human destiny to always try to reach
the unreachable stars! Otherwise, life becomes meaningless!
I trust that you will furnish a copy of this letter to Dr. John
Maddox. Also, I was unable to obtain the e-mail address for the
Editor of the London Times. So, please furnish also the copies of
this letter of mine and the copy of my letter of October 31,
1999 to the Editor of the London Times. Thank you very much for
your attention. Your assistance is appreciated very much.
Many thanks.
Sincerely,
Jovan Djuric

My Open letter to Dr. John Maddox, retired former Editor of
NATURE of October 31, 1999 and my follow-up letter of December 1,
1999 in connection with the discussion on the BBC program AGENDA
on Sunday October 31, 1999 are hereby rounded and concluded by
the reference to a book which was recently brought to my
attention. Namely, it is the book entitled POPPER VERSUS EINSTEIN
(1998) by Christoph von Mettenheim, in which the theory of
relativity is refuted and new solutions are proposed for the
problems left open after the refutation of the theory of
relativity by Popper's Logic of Scientific Discovery. The late
Sir Karl R. Popper is a distinguished philosopher, a Jewish
refugee from nazi annexed Vienna, Austria. The review of that
book is quoted here verbatim:
Karl Popper's theory of scientific knowledge has become famous
for the criterion of falsifiability which Popper had explained in
his LOGIK DER FORSCHUNG (1934). (English translation LOGIC OF
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY, 1959). Christoph von Mettenheim considers
'methodological nominalism', which Popper developed under
Tarski's influence not much later, and which he discussed in his
OPEN SOCIETY AND IT'S ENEMIES (1945), the even more universal
principle in which the methodology of science meets with that of
ethics. The informational content of concepts is not given, but
comes from convention. Even the rules of logic themselves are not
pre-existent, but rest on nominalistic definitions of simple
terms.
Logic is not an expression of truth; but it is an expression of
veracity.
In RECHTS UND RATIONALITAET (1984) von Mettenheim had applied
these principles to legal theory and ethics. He now transfers
them to theoretical physics for which they were originally
intended by Karl Popper. Part 1 contains a criticism of
Einstein's theory of relativity which (in Popper's terminology)
starts from an uncritical rationalism by regarding mathematics
itself as a source of knowledge. An interpretation of the theory
avoiding contradictions shows that the theory will not stand up
to Popper's criterion of falsifiability, in this shape it has
been empirically refuted. In Part 2 the author proposes new
solutions for the problems left open after refutation of the
theory of relativity. These propositions conform with the
requirements of Popper's theory of scientific knowledge. They
include a new explanation of gravity starting from a modified
ether hypothesis which will permit the harmonization of
macrophysics and microphysics for the first time in the history
of science since Newton.
End of review.
I believe that my unified field theory of gravitation and
electromagnetism is THE FIRST AND ONLY ATTEMPT to create a theory
which can be applied to gravitation and electromagnetism, i.e. ,
to both macrocosm and microcosm, i.e. , to macrophysics and
microphysics as the author Dr. Christoph von Mettenheim proposed,
but without any need for any ether hypothesis. The unification is
based on the experimental facts and four experimental laws:
Newton's, Coulomb's, Laplace-Biot-Savart-Ampere's and Faraday's
law, not on pure mathematical equations as the general theory of
relativity. Last three laws form the foundations of the
conventional non-symmetrical Maxwell equations, from which
Maxwell predicted the electromagnetic waves, which Heinrich Hertz
discovered few years later. The symmetrization of the Maxwell
equations is obtained by the introduction of Newton's law, which
is certainly an experimental law to which Newton gave
mathematical form, famous and well known to all school kids
throughout the world. My unified field theory consistently
classifies and fits all known experimental facts of nature with
clear explanations for the first time. This unified field theory
confirms, among many other facts, Hugo Dingler's belief (Hugo
Dingler is a well known German philosopher of science) "that
the theory of electricity will one day be derived from Newton's
law of gravitation" (cf. p. 81, K. Popper's LOGIC OF
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY, Hutchinson of London, 1959), albeit with
some modification as shown in the equation (23) of my paper. This
modification contains repulsion, i.e. , the antigravity in some
situations when v > c, while in the general theory of
relativity one constant is defined as the antigravity for
convenience of that theory. My paper points out that the
gravitationally stabilized model of the electrical charge is
possible, as Hugo Dingler believed, which model can easily change
sign under the appropriate forces, as electrons become positive
holes in some physical situations of the p-type semiconductors
and some metals. The theory of relativity is obviously
experimentally refuted by the observations in astrophysics and
the expanding universe where distances between the moving
galaxies are expressed and measured in millions upon millions of
light years with the velocity (referred to in jargon terms as
"recessional") proportional to their distance from one
another, well over the speed of light c. The dogmatic belief of
the theory of relativity that the speed of the light is the
limiting velocity is untenable before the spectacle of such an
enormously expanding universe with such velocities. And that
dogma is apparently based on a single mathematical fact that the
square root of one minus (velocity over c) squared is not defined
in the real domain when the velocity is greater than c. It is
absurd to stick to that dogma tenaciously, rather than to abandon
such mathematical expressions as counterproductive. In my theory
mass does not vary with the velocity, but electrical charge does,
and apparently becomes zero when v = c, and it is possible
according to my theory to accelerate electrons above the speed of
light by taking into account all forces including gravity. But as
I stated earlier in my letter of October 31, 1999, I was
unsuccessful to obtain the support for such experiments, while at
the Fermi and CERN labs and elsewhere electrons are accelerated
neglecting gravitational effects upon electrons.
I take this opportunity to include a concluding sentence from the
discussion entitled THE SIMPLE UNIVERSE on Page 6, October 1999
issue of IEEE Spectrum: "Today's physicists are locked into
relativity theory just as the church of Galileo's days was locked
into Ptolomy's planetary system." It appears that today's
physicists - relativists are believers rather than scientists.
Scientists are always ready to discuss different views, but not
relativists, who apparently consider Einstein almost as a deity,
and who prevented the publication of my unified field theory for
well over 30 (thirty) years, thus preventing the necessary
experiments.

Following the publication of the Boomerang
project results in the Journal Nature, the BBC on it's Internet
Site brought on Wednesday, April 26, 2000 at 19:59 GMT (UTC) the
following information quoted here verbatim:
"A high-flying balloon that soared over
Antarctica has answered one of cosmology's greatest questions by
revealing that the fabric of the Universe is "flat". To
astronomers - flat means that the usual rules of geometry are
observed - light not being bent by gravity travels in straight
lines, not curves. But since Albert Einstein proposed that the
Universe may be "curved", the debate has been
open."
Various comments are also included on that BBC
Internet Site, among which the BBC's Christine McGourty stated:
"The Universe is flat and will probably
expand forever."
Other comments are not quoted here. The
interested reader is referred to the BBC Internet Site.
This author repeats again that the relativity
theory is logically wrong as was clear to many scientists long
time ago, but their views were subdued and disregarded by the
relativists in power, not by arguments, but by totally ignoring
those views and by preventing the publication of such critical
views and new ideas. The relativity theory should be abandoned as
counterproductive to the progress of science.
This author takes the opportunity to update the
facts about the efforts to publish this unified field theory.
Although submitted electronically, by the hard copy (sic!) letter
dated November 19, 1999 the Editor in chief Vincent Rivasseau of
ANNALES HENRI POINCARE without any opinion wrote: "Your
paper "Unification of Gravitation and Electromagnetism"
is unsuited for publication in ANNALES HENRI POINCARE."
Also, The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade by the
hard copy letter dated December 30, 1999, but mailed on December
29, 1999 rejected this paper as unsuitable for publication
without any comment or opinion. This author heard gossip that
some academicians stated that this paper contained nothing new,
since such attempt was presumably tried even during Maxwell's
lifetime. This is ridiculous. Nobody could have dreamed about
such theory at that time, since it was firmly believed that the
Earth was a magnetized body. The mentioned gossip shows the utter
ignorance of facts on the part of some Serbian academicians, one
of whom, academician Zvonko Maric had the copies of this author's
old unpublished papers, which copies were not returned to this
author, in which copies the history of various attempts to
explain geomagnetism is cited following Pierre Curie's experiment
of 1895 proving that magnetism disappears when the material is
heated above the so-called Curie's temperature. The Earth is too
hot, of course, to be a permanent magnet except at some points. They, the
Serbian academicians, failed to realize that in this paper, for the first time,
the two points, the center of mass and the center of self-gravity, are clearly
distinguished and properly utilized as two very important points. There is a
great deal of confusion about these two points in the textbooks and the
literature so far, and very often, they are interchanged and even considered as
one point which is utterly wrong. But those Serbian academicians fall perhaps into the category of
"learned ignoramuses" as the famous Spanish philosopher
late Jose Ortega y Gasset called such specialists, who also wrote
in his famous work THE REVOLT OF THE MASSES : "The most
immediate result of this unbalanced specialization has been that
to-day, when there are more "scientists" than ever,
there are much less "cultured" men than, for example,
about 1750. And the worst is that with these turnspits of science
not even the real progress of science itself is assured. For
science needs from time to time, as necessary regulator of its
own advance, a labour of reconstitution, and as I have said, this
demands an effort towards unification, which grows more and more
difficult, involving, as it does, ever-vaster regions of the
world of knowledge." And a bit further he wrote: "But
Einstein is not sufficient. Physics is entering on the gravest
crisis of its history, and can only be saved by a new
"Encyclopaedia" more systematic than the first."
This author is attempting the true unification of gravitation and
electromagnetism, i.e., of macrophysics and microphysics, and the
publication of these new ideas appears to be essential for the
discussion and further experiments. The publication of these
ideas is denied so far without any real argument, but
dogmatically by those physicists in power, who are probably
afraid to lose their power by publishing new bold ideas.
Professor F. Hehl, co-editor of ANNALEN DER
PHYSIK has not yet responded since October 10, 1999, when this
paper was electronically submitted.
December 14, 2000
FINALE
Since ANNALEN DER PHYSIK apparently decided to ignore my paper,
which was electronically offered for possible publications, my paper was
electronically submitted in the PostScript format for possible publication to
the Physical Review D on June 29, 2000 with my obligation to retype my
paper in the required REVTeX format incorporating corrections and suggestions of
the referees. Instead of the expected opinions of the referees, which would be
valuable to improve my paper, I received on August 2, 2000 the following e-mail
letter from Dr. Erick J. Weinberg, Editor, Physical Review D <prd@ridge.aps.org>:
Dear Dr. Djuric:
I am writing in reference to your manuscript ``Unification of gravitation and electromagnetism'' (DT7305).
Physical Review D does not, in general, publish papers on speculative alternatives to or reinterpretations of currently accepted theories unless
stringent requirements are met. Papers that lie outside the mainstream of current research must justify their publication by including a clear and convincing discussion of the motivation for the new speculation, with
reasons for introducing any new concepts. This discussion should be at a level of detail and precision comparable to that of the accepted theory, and
should be at a level of discourse appropriate to the current state of research in the field. If the new formulation results in contradictions
with the accepted theory, then there must be both a discussion of what experiments could be done to show that the conventional theory needs
improvement, and an analysis showing that the new theory is consistent with existing experiments.
Upon reading your manuscript, I conclude that your paper does not
satisfy all of these requirements. I am afraid that it is therefore not suitable for publication in Physical Review D.
Sincerely, Erick J. Weinberg, Editor, Physical Review D.
End.
I considered this letter very carefully. Instead of some specific suggestions,
this letter is general and can be used as a FORM LETTER for any paper
"outside the mainstream of current research". The repetition of the
words "accepted theories" appears to remind the reader on dogmatism,
which is the gravest, most dangerous enemy of science and humanity. The word
"accepted" without any qualification is too strong and suggests the
absolute, almost God given status. A theory of physics or any other subject may
be accepted by some people and rejected by others. All theories of physics live
precarious lives. The history of science is full of fallen theories, which were
destroyed by facts or replaced by better ones. And that made the progress of
science and humanity possible, for which many known and unknown heroes paid
ultimate sacrifice to make that progress possible, to mention only the great
gallant man Giordano Bruno. THE PUBLICATION OF BOLD NEW IDEAS IN ORDER TO
FACILITATE THEIR DISSEMINATION AND THEIR DISCUSSION IS THE ONLY TRUE
JUSTIFICATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF ANY SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL. BY INSISTING ONLY ON
THE ACCEPTED THEORIES AND BY PREVENTING THE PUBLICATION OF NEW, BOLD AND
CONTROVERSIAL THEORIES, THE SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS AND THEIR EDITORS HINDER THE
PROGRESS OF SCIENCE AND ASSIST THE PROPONENTS OF THE "ACCEPTED
THEORIES" TO UNCRITICALLY OBTAIN ENORMOUS FUNDS FOR THEIR RESEARCH
PROJECTS, FROM WHICH THEY, THE PROPONENTS OF THE "ACCEPTED THEORIES",
LAVISHLY FATTEN THEIR PAYCHECKS FROM ALMOST ALWAYS PUBLIC MONEY PAID BY
TAXPAYERS !
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, to quote
Lord Acton. THE PREVENTION OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF NEW IDEAS CONTRARY TO THE
"ACCEPTED THEORIES" IS IDENTICAL TO THE PREVENTION OF FREE PRESS,
MEDIA AND OPPOSITION BY VARIOUS POLITICAL DICTATORS, AGAINST WHICH THE ONLY
REMEDY APPEARS TO BE THE Belgrade Style STORM of October 5, 2000 with and by
OTPOR, SADLY AND UNFORTUNATELY. OTPOR means RESISTANCE in Serbian. To quote the
great American statesman Thomas Jefferson, THE TREE OF LIBERTY WILL HAVE
FOREVER, FROM TIME TO TIME, TO BE SHED WITH BLOOD OF TYRANTS AND HEROES.
My unified field theory is essentially the unification of the
two accepted theories and it covers consistently a very large number of physical
phenomena, considerably larger than any existing physical theory. I am fully
aware of the shortcomings of my theory, which are clearly stated. The enormous
amount of work, experimental as well as theoretical, remains to be done, but
nobody was willing so far to fund that research, since no publication was
secured so far for almost 40 years. My theory solves, provisionally and subject
to experimental verification, the greatest unresolved problem of macrophysics,
i.e., the relationship between gravitation and electromagnetism, two
macroscopically observed fields, which, according to the present-day
establishment of physics, are considered as unrelated and referred to as the
first and the second force of nature, respectively, which is nonsense and
totally wrong according to my theory! FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS I WATCHED WITH
SADNESS HOW UNTOLD BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE SPENT AND WASTED FOR
RESEARCH FOR THE PRESUMABLY "PREDICTED" GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, THE
"ELUSIVE" MAGNETIC MONOPOLES AND THE EXTRA LARGE ACCELERATORS FOR
PARTICLE PHYSICS RESEARCH without producing anything worth-while in my opinion
for all that research money! But, according to my theory, NOT ONE SINGLE CENT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT ON ALL THAT RESEARCH, which was fundamentally
wrong! It is sad to watch the humiliating spectacle of a large number of
presumably highly intelligent persons - particle physicists - frantically
attempting to gain understanding of microcosm, where very little can be really
seen, while leaving nonchalantly the total non-understanding of macrocosm and
macroscopic forces, where many things can be easily seen and measured, and
referring almost happily to those forces as the first and the second force of
nature! But I was denied any financial support for my research, since my theory
contradicts one "accepted theory", the theory of relativity! Due to
the lack of any financial support, my theoretical research was referred to in
1969 as "playing with Boy Scouts" by the Dean of the College where I
was teaching, although I duly received the fifth award in 1963 for my short
essay from the Gravity Research Foundation in New Boston, New Hampshire, U.S.A.,
and some opinions referred to my theory as "quite unique, and if correct,
its ramifications are revolutionary". I was even labeled as
"anti-Semitic", which is an insult to me and my numerous Jewish
friends, since, as already mentioned, my theory contradicts totally the theory
of relativity, which, in fact, was refuted logically by the famous philosopher
of science the late Sir Karl Popper, Jewish by origin, and experimentally
refuted by the Boomerang Project whose results were published in April of this
2000 year. But, unfortunately, by discrimination, conspiracy and perjuries, I
lost my tenured professorship at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, U.S.A. in 1976. Since the reader may be interested, I was even
involuntarily retired, because according to some psychiatrists in Albuquerque, I
suffered "life-long pattern of maladaptiveness". Namely, I fought
against the nazi-German occupation of my native country of Yugoslavia during the
World War II, I opposed the communist dictatorship in Yugoslavia immediately
after the end of the World War II, and for my peaceful opposition, I was
expelled from the University of Belgrade in 1949 at the very moment that I
conceived the idea of my unified field theory. Upon coming to the U.S.A. as an
immigrant, I peacefully opposed the irrational war in Vietnam, and according to
those psychiatrists, I was made to "always oppose the authority, to which
he must relate". In my search of truth and justice for all, including
myself throughout my entire life, I never tolerated untruths, lies and
injustices. So I lost my job by hooks and crooks at the age of 50
almost 25 years ago, but I am still interested and eager to prove or disprove my
theoretical ideas by experiments, IN PARTICULAR, TO TRY TO ACCELERATE
ELECTRICALLY CHARGED PARTICLES ABOVE THE SPEED OF LIGHT, WHICH, I BELIEVE, IS
POSSIBLE.

TRUE LIFE OF JOVAN
DJURIC
(As e-mailed to truelives@bbc.co.uk)
Dear Mr. Michael Rosen:
This is written in response to your invitation and your challenge to all
listeners of the BBC "to launch themselves into the unknown by writing about their true lives".
Every human life is a continuous series of the intertwined ups and downs
of various scales, i.e., of triumphs and disasters of various scales. The true wisdom in life is
"to meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat those two imposters just the same",
as the great poet Rudyard Kipling wrote in his famous poem IF so exquisitely.
In writing about my true life, I shall try my best to be as short as
possible, but with my life of over three quarters of a century, that is a very difficult task ANYWAY, I TRULY INTEND WITH YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE
TO LAUNCH MYSELF AND THE ENTIRE HUMANITY INTO THE UNKNOWN, AS IT APPEARS IN MY MIND.
I believe that it is a triumph of a sort that I am probably one among
the oldest listeners of the BBC. My love affair with radio and the companionship with the BBC began before the World War II, i.e., before
September of 1939, when as a gymnasium (high school) student I became a radio amateur learning to assemble radios. This determined my
professional life of an electronic engineer and led me to the life long companionship with the BBC, which influenced me a great deal. I learned
English by listening to the BBC and much, much more about the people of the world, their lives and their ideas, for which I am truly grateful to
all dedicated workers of the BBC, without whose contributions and works my life would have been certainly different. The BBC was a window of
hope and truth during the dark years of the German-nazi occupation of my native country of Serbia, a portion of former Yugoslavia, during the WW
II, and subsequently during the prolonged decades of the communist dictatorship in my native country until very recently. On my first trip
to the USA in October 1959 via London, I was fortunate to visit the BBC Bush House to bring my token gifts of my appreciation - plum brandy of
Serbia, etc. - for the people of the BBC English by Radio Department led at that time by Mr. Sidney Stevens.
The disaster came in 1941 to my native country. I survived on April 6,
1941 the bombing by the German-nazi Luftwaffe of the city of Skoplje,
where I lived at that time. Skoplje was occupied by the nazis next day,
so I left it and I enrolled myself as a volunteer soldier of the
Yugoslav Army. I was not quite 16, but I was very much opposed to nazism
- racism - fascism and I was fairly mature. Unfortunately, the Yugoslav
Army capitulated in a few days, and somehow I arrived at the end of
April 1941 in my birthplace Sabac (pronounced shabats), a town on the
right bank of the river Sava about 50 miles west of Belgrade. I received
the certificate of the fifth grade from the local gymnasium in June 1941
after some checking, just about the time of the German attack on the
Soviet Russia. During that summer of 1941 I was a volunteer employed at
a local garage. A Jewish man, hardly older than myself, from Amsterdam,
Holland was assigned to do the dirtiest, most difficult tasks in that
garage. He was a very clever and handy man who made some very useful
items sold or given to the local people. I witnessed cruel beating of
him by a Gestapo officer and a local Serb - quisling without any reason
whatsoever, and I could do nothing to prevent it. It was a small comfort
to that Jewish man that I brought some food items for him from a local
food store into which he was forbidden to enter. But the events were
moving with the lightening speed. At the beginning of July 1941 the
uprising took place in occupied Serbia, and in August 1941 the combined
forces of the communist led partisans and the chetniks led by General
Draza Mihajlovic attacked Sabac and liberated an outskirt, which was
later destroyed to the ground by the German punishment expedition. All
male inhabitants of Sabac from 12 to 70 years of age, including myself
and my two brothers - our father was at that time a prisoner of war in
Germany - were rounded by German troops and driven across the Sava river
to the left bank which was the territory of then the fascist independent
state of Croatia. It appears that the German troops believed that we
were all chetniks and partisans, and they were preparing the
machine-guns to shoot us all, but at the last moment a speeding car came
and stopped the execution. We were forced to run a stretch of about 10
miles to the bare ground site fenced by the barbed wire. During that run
anybody who could not keep the pace and stopped was shot dead at the spot by the
German soldiers and the Croatian ustashis. I carried my brother on my back for a mile towards the end of that
run, since I could not live to see him shot, and he was totally
exhausted, ready to stop. When we reached the turnstile of that barbed
wire camp, I was almost dead of exhaustion. At the head of that running
column was a group of about 200 Jews, some from Sabac and many from
other European cities, including my friend from Amsterdam, whom I never
saw again. They were particularly ruthlessly driven and about 100 of
them were killed. Of about 5,000 people, about 500 were killed during
that run in early September 1941. Then, for three days and nights we
were without any food and practically without water on that bare ground,
and anybody who moved during the chilly September night was shot. After
about a week we were all returned on foot but without running or
shooting with some food and water back to Sabac to the concentration
camp in the army barracks for identity checking and most of us were
released at the end of October 1941 and in November 1941. I and my two
brothers were lucky to survive that ordeal.
The remaining three more years of the German occupation were very hard
with constant shortage of food. I continued studies in the local
gymnasium. All radios were confiscated in July 1941 immediately after
the uprising. The possession of a secret non-registered radio was
punishable by death or long term imprisonment in a concentration camp
with hard labor in Germany, but I continued with my love affair to build
and fix secret radios including small radio transmitters of the
underground partisan movement, with which I cooperated. I was arrested
three times by the Gestapo and the quisling special police, interrogated
and beaten but released after a month or so, since they found no real
evidence against me. My secret radio parts were carefully hidden and
assembled in a few minutes before listening when the Gestapo or secret
police raids were unlikely. I graduated in June 1944. At the point of
gun with the bullet placed in the chamber before my very eyes I was
beaten twice in 1944 in the main street of Sabac in full daylight by two
quisling Serbian officers, but I survived to see the German troops and
the quislings leaving Sabac for good on October 23, 1944, six months
before the end of WW II. I was 19 years old then.
The liberation shook me thoroughly and almost disastrously. The
partisans took the power and immediately arrested some prominent wealthy
men, accused them of collaboration with the German occupation forces and
summarily executed them dumping their bodies into the Sava river from
the remnants of a destroyed bridge and confiscated their property almost
always for their private use. The Sava river was again carrying Serbian
bodies, just like in 1941 it carried bodies of Serbs killed by ustashis
in Croatia. I was dismayed totally. I was at that time a private -
soldier in the Yugoslav National Liberation Army in charge of the radio
repair post. I lodged my protest and indignation with the appropriate
committee only to be told to shut up or face the same music. I was
flabbergasted, astounded beyond belief. I immediately cut all my
political connections with the partisan movement, but I continued with
all my duties of a soldier conscientiously, since the WW II was still
going on. I hoped that the things may improve after the war is finished,
but I felt very uneasy. I was educated to follow strictly the Golden
Rule, which is essentially the categorical moral imperative of the
famous philosopher Immanuel Kant, and all my decisions and actions were
done in conformity with that Rule. I was astonished that the communists
in pursuit of power did not realize that killing and robbing of some
wealthy people can never bring happiness to the rest of the people, but
can bring only misery and tragedy in the long run for the entire
society. My father was a judge and my mother was a teacher. They were
strict morally. I followed their example.
The WW II ended in Europe in May 1945. I was discharged honorably from
the Army and towards the end of 1945 I enrolled as a student of
electronic engineering at the University of Belgrade. The elections in
November 1945 without any real choice only cemented the communist
dictatorship in my native country. As a student I refused to participate
in any extracurricular activities, like summer railroad campaigns,
manifestations, etc., devoting myself strictly to studies of science. In
Fall 1946 during the third semester, the communist led People's Student
Organization proclaimed the boycott against the so-called anti-people
students, including myself and some colleagues. Nobody dared to speak to
us. In a big amphitheater, Hall 56, where lectures were held for our class 1945
of over 500 students, with three rows of big benches and the total
seating capacity of over 300 students to sit comfortably and take notes,
the right row of benches was designated in big letters "PLACES FOR
ANTI-PEOPLE STUDENTS". My fellow boycotted colleagues were frightened to
come to the lectures, but I was fearless and indomitable. I never missed a single
lecture and I was sitting all alone in the right row of benches, while
the other two rows of benches were overwhelmingly crowded by 200 to 300
students. That situation lasted for two semesters in the same
amphitheater. In the fifth semester we were split in quite smaller
groups and moved to much smaller classrooms. The boycott continued until
Spring of 1949, when on March 31 1949 I found my name on a list among 70
students of the various departments of the College (Faculty) of
Engineering expelled from the University of Belgrade and all other
universities in Yugoslavia with the citation of the most absurd false
accusations. At that time during my studies, I conceived the idea of my
unified field theory, which will be the subject of the separate
paragraph, and it is essentially for that reason that I took the trouble
to write this short review of my TRUE LIFE.
I had to find any employment then, since the post-war rationing was
still in effect, and everybody had to work to be entitled to food
rations. I somehow found a work position. After a year and a half, I was
allowed to continue my studies and I graduated in August 1951 with the
average grade 9.40 out of 10. I obtained Doctor of Science degree in
February 1954, but I never obtained the professorship at the Belgrade
University where I intended to continue the work on my unified field
theory. Obviously, I did not fit in the Yugoslav communist society. In
Summer 1959 the American Mathematical Society, Providence, Rhode Island,
USA asked me to translate a number of scientific papers from Russian
into English with handsome payment. I earned soon almost 1,000.00 U.S.
dollars, which was a large sum in 1959, and I asked to be invited at my
cost to visit the American Mathematical Society and to present my works
at their meetings. So I flew to the USA in October 1959 via London,
where I visited the BBC as mentioned above. In November 1959 I was
appointed the visiting Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at
the Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. After the end
of that academic 1959 - 1960 year, I returned to Belgrade in June 1960 to the great
surprise of all my friends in Belgrade, since I had problems with the US
visa. After some inquiry and further investigation, I was informed by Mr.
England from the US Embassy in Belgrade in Spring 1961 that my visa
problems were cleared. In September 1961 I flew via London as an
immigrant to the USA and I was appointed Associate Professor of
Electrical Engineering at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, USA. My return to Belgrade in 1960 proved to be fortunate
for me, since I happily married my long-term girlfriend and colleague in
January 1961, to whom I am still happily married. But my dear mother
died just before my second flight to the USA.
At the UNM, I immediately took the steps to publish my unified field
theory. In June 1963 I received the fifth award of US $ 100.00 for my
very short essay from the Gravity Research Foundation in New Boston, New
Hampshire, USA in the annual international competition of essays on
gravity. That essay was never published although it was offered to every
possible journal of physics. The rejections were always without any
opinion. In fact my paper was totally ignored. Most copies were never
returned by the editors. It became obvious to me that the editors saw in
my paper the ideas which totally contradicted the theory of relativity.
Similar things happened with all my subsequent papers about my unified
field theory. At about that time, the political clouds were gathering
over the USA. The assassination of President Kennedy happened in
November 1963, and the war in Vietnam was seriously escalated by President Johnson early in 1965. I was astounded by these events. I saw
the tragedy approaching the USA, and I was unable to do anything to stop
it. In 1965 in a discussion with the colleague in the Electrical
Engineering Department Office before the secretaries and other people,
including the head of the EE Department, I stated that President Johnson
was never going to be re-elected, because the war in Vietnam was unwinnable as the history clearly showed, except that the history also
shows that the history never taught anybody anything. I said that the
USA could annihilate Vietnam technologically and proclaim victory over
the nuclearly devastated land, but could not do that because of the
moral restraints before the world. I was ridiculed by that colleague at
that time. I felt compelled to repeat the same opinion to all my
students ex cathedra, since all those students could be sent to Vietnam
after the graduation. The result was that I was passed for promotion, my
salary was almost frozen in spite of inflation. Since my papers about my
unified field theory were not published, I was unable to obtain funds
for experiments, and my research was referred to by the Dean of the UNM
College of Engineering as "playing with Boy Scouts". Upon my complaints
the Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee found in 1971 that I was
indeed discriminated and recommended back pay and immediate raise of my
salary and promotion under certain conditions, but the UNM
administration rejected all that. Then, upon my complaint, the Human
Rights Commission of the State of New Mexico issued on May 25, 1972
PROBABLE CAUSE FINDING of unlawful discrimination against me at the UNM,
the State university, and ordered hearing. Whereupon, the UNM
administration on May 31, 1972 but backdated May 15, 1972 issued the
intention to terminate me. This retaliation is strictly against the law.
The hearing before The Human Rights Commission of the State of New
Mexico took place in September 1972, but after the lunch break the
attorney, who represented me, did not return., and although I insisted
to continue without him, the presiding officer decided to postpone the
hearing pending new hearing at a later date in order to protect my
rights as stated. Such hearing never took place in spite of my numerous
demands, but the UNM Administration changed the termination proceedings
against me into the involuntary retirement proceedings against me. The
UNM Regents acting in obvious violation of laws and statutes of the UNM
and the State of New Mexico decided to "retire" me on August 22. 1974,
since, as a psychiatrist stated "Dr. Djuric suffered the life-long
pattern of maladaptivness", and that apparently my opposition of the
U.S. Authorities was the continuation of my fight against nazism and
communism. I was ordered to apply for the pension from the Educational
Retirement Board of the State of New Mexico, which rejected the decision
of the UNM Regents about my retirement. Then the UNM Administration
reinstated the termination proceedings against me, but the Human Rights
Commission did nothing. By that time I was totally alienated and
boycotted, so I had to re-live the situation which was quite similar to
the situation at the Belgrade University from 1946 till my expulsion in
1949. I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THE COMMUNISTS AT THE BELGRADE UNIVERSITY OR
THE "DEMOCRATS" AT THE UNM WERE WORSE. The human beings, particularly
the power holders are the most brutal animals when they abandon the
civilizing effects of laws and formal behavior in pursuit of power,
regardless of the ideology of the regime. I still wonder whether and
where I made any mistake in those two similar situations. At UNM, I was
labeled as anti-Semitic, since my unified field theory contradicts the
theory of relativity, which, in my opinion and also of many other
thinkers, is basically wrong. More about that later. During the
prolonged hearings before a new Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee in
1975, testimonies about my views and predictions about the war in
Vietnam were heard from the witnesses exactly at the time of the total
withdrawal of the U.S. troops from Vietnam. In spite of the obvious
discrimination against me and the numerous violations of the State and
the Federal laws, and obvious perjuries the said Committee conspired and
concurred with my termination to my astonishment. I was terminated on
March 5, 1976, the FIRST AND ONLY TENURED MEMBER OF THE FACULTY of any
U.S. university to lose the tenured professorship. I was upset very
much, and I was unable to obtain any position, so upon application, I
duly received the disability pay from the Educational Retirement Board
of the State of New Mexico and the U.S. Social Security Administration,
and I was effectively retired involuntarily. I was 50 years old at that
time. I had some health problems during that prolonged ordeal, and I was
on sick leave for a semester in 1970. I was naturalized into U.S.
citizenship on April 15, 1968, when I believed that I shall never return
to my native country. I must mention here my dear friend Mr. Jose David
Cordova, barber and poet in Spanish, whose friendship and support were
invaluable for me during this prolonged ordeal at the UNM, a TRUE FRIEND
INDEED for me all alone in the USA during all that ordeal from 1969 till
1976. He established in his Campus Barber Shop a trust fund for the defense of
human rights of Professor Jovan Djuric. Also Mr. Gary Vaughn, electronic engineer and my former student,
gave me much comfort and support with his true friendship during all
that time, ANOTHER TRUE FRIEND. Discovering many facts and further
developing my unified field theory absorbed me very much during that
time. Also, I was very busy sending my papers to various journals for
possible publication.
Unable to obtain any position in the U.S.A., I returned to Belgrade in
1977. I was never offered any position in Yugoslavia. I decided to stop
all efforts for the publication of my numerous unpublished papers about
my unified field theory. Those papers were ignored and rejected even
when I was professor at the UNM. I was a stranger in my native country.
I continued my companionship with the BBC, which was always for me the
window to the world. I continued with my scientific and professional
interests. I fixed numerous electronic devices to many friends and
acquaintances free, but the spare parts were paid by the owners. To
prove to myself that I am not anti-Semitic, I fixed the TV set of the
Jewish Community Office in Belgrade, where the son of my Jewish friend
Mr. Isak Tajtacakovic was employed at that time, and they gave me as
their gratitude the gift of various books about the history of the Jewry
in Yugoslavia, which helped me to understand them better. During the
December 1990 Elections in Serbia, which was then a Republic in former
Yugoslavia, I was astonished to see that the majority was going to vote
for Milosevic. I told everybody then before those Elections that in my
opinion, Milosevic was the worst enemy of the Serbian people in
particular, and of all Yugoslav people in general. But my views were
ignored by the majority of my acquaintances and friends. I predicted
catastrophe for the Serbian people if Milosevic were elected.
Unfortunately, Milosevic was elected with the landslide in the
surprisingly free Elections in December 1990, and that brought a
continuous series of catastrophic tragedies for the Serbian people and
all people in former Yugoslavia for the past 10 years, including the
bombing of Serbia in 1999. I am saddened very much to realize that my
prediction was so tragically correct. But the tragedy must be traced
back to 1944 and 1945 when the Serbian people in particular and all
other people of former Yugoslavia did not oppose more vigorously the
communist take-over of power in Yugoslavia by killing and robbing, which
moved me and upset me so much in 1944 and determined my entire life. All
people of former Yugoslavia, including the Serbian people bear
substantial responsibility for what happened in former Yugoslavia from
1944 on. In spite of many difficulties and sufferings, I would not
change any of my actions in my entire life. My actions were pure and
honest. I do not believe that I hurt anybody knowingly. But in my search
for truth and justice for all, including myself, and opposing untruths,
lies and injustices at every moment of my life, I must have offended
many, especially those in power.
The research results from the University of Nottingham, England in 1997
about the magnetic levitation of various organic matters woke me up from
my scientific hibernation for over two decades. This brings me to my
unified field theory, which is the true reason for my writing about some
true events in my life as described above, but omitting many events and
details. I shall now try to describe my scientific ideas and my unified
field theory as simply as possible, so to be, hopefully, understandable
to any reasonably educated modern human being, who can certainly read
with full understanding all ADDENDA to my main paper, as well as the
large portions of it, as they all appear on my Internet Site:
https://members.tripod.com/~djuricfield , without any specialized
knowledge. In 1948 during my studies I became aware of the obvious
inadequacy of physics. The reference to gravitation as the FIRST force
of nature, electromagnetism as the SECOND force of nature, weak atomic
interaction as the THIRD force of nature and strong atomic interaction
as the FOURTH force of nature strongly resembled to Aristotle's ideas
about four basic elements. NATURA NON FACIT SALTUS, i.e., nature makes
no leaps, as many philosophers stated. The view of the four basic forces
of nature, which is still the basic viewpoint of the establishment in
physics up to this moment, without apparently any interconnections,
appeared to me as untenable. Studying at that time over 50 years ago the
theory of relativity I saw its obvious inadequacies. Early in 1949 I
conceived the idea how to connect gravitation and electromagnetism by symmetrizing the famous Maxwell equations. The conventional Maxwell
equations are strangely nonsymmetrical, which is the conventional view
held in physics up to this moment, disregarding totally my theory. The
classical model of Sir Isaac Newton of our planetary system describes
each celestial body as a mass point. That model is still in use, and it
is very valuable. But I saw that that model can be very much improved
easily by assigning two points to each celestial body, namely, its
center of self gravity and its center of mass. These two points never
coincide for any real celestial body, except in the extreme case of the
perfect symmetry of the celestial body, which never occurs in nature. By symmetrizing the Maxwell equations and using the mentioned two points
for each celestial body it is possible to fit an extraordinarily large
number of true facts of our planetary system within one model, and to
identify the conventional magnetic field, which all celestial bodies
possess, as the special manifestation of the gravity of that celestial body. The
conventional magnetic field of the celestial body must be influenced and
somewhat changed by all other celestial bodies, the fact which has been
observed for the Earth's magnetic field for well over a century. A
celestial body pulls other celestial bodies with its gravitational field
from its center of the self gravity - gravitational field, while other
planets act upon that celestial body with their gravitational fields at
its center of mass. This model, which is somewhat improved classical
Newton's model and certainly without dramatical change, together with
the symmetrized Maxwell equations form the essence of my unified field
theory. The consequences of such unification of gravitation and
electromagnetism are many. Suffice is to say that the origin and the
variations of the conventional but still mysterious Earth's magnetic
field, including its reversal, can be easily understood on the basis of
this model. Of course, those variations are caused by the Moon, the Sun
and all other planets and the continental drift. And the present
International Earth's Gravity Formula, which is obtained with respect to
the Earth's center of mass as the coordinate origin, and which Formula
is obviously inadequate, can be substantially improved by shifting the
coordinate origin to the Earth's center of gravity, thus producing
dipolar term, which is missed in that Gravity Formula. I must add that
there is a confusion in the literature about the center of self gravity
and the center of mass, which are often erroneously interchanged and
even identified as the same, which is totally wrong. Newton was
undoubtedly the founder of science of physics. His point mass planetary
model was certainly the revolution in his time. Newton never introduced
mass distribution. So in his point mass model there can be no
distinction between the center of gravity and the center of mass. But
when about a century later the mass distribution was strictly defined,
for over two centuries the two obvious points of any celestial body,
i.e., the center of the self gravity and the center of mass were never
clearly distinguished, but often confused for over two centuries. And my
proposition to introduce the additional point, the center of self
gravity, was ignored and rejected for over 40 years with obvious anger
by many editors of all scientific journals to whom submitted without any
opinion. My unified field theory is the true unification of the
grandiose works of Newton, Faraday and Maxwell, the three true founders
of modern physics. The true and complete understanding of the
macroscopically observed fields of gravitation and electromagnetism with
their interconnections MUST be obtained before venturing with research
and modeling in the microscopic domain. My unified field theory
represents the first and only attempt towards the true unification of those
fields. It may not be absolutely true, it may probably be improved, but
it certainly shows the way to proceed in further research towards the true
unification without which further progress of science is impossible. The
problem of a differential equation and its solution, which is defined in
my theory, and it is clearly stated in my paper that that problem must
be still investigated further, is the only difficulty in my theory. But
the agreement of this theory with the extremely large number of facts
about our planetary system is truly amazing. A gravitationally
stabilized model of the electrical charge is possible on the basis of
this unified field theory. And on the basis of that model, it is
concluded that the acceleration of electrons above the speed of light is
possible.
In my search for truth and justice for all, I never tolerated untruths,
lies and injustices. And I always speak directly if and when I speak. I
must state that all editors and referees of many scientific journals who
rejected my papers without giving any opinion, are dangerous arrogant
dictators, just as dangerous for the progress of humanity and science
and truth, as the political dictators whom I had to suffer and oppose in
my life and to see them go, to mention Milosevic as the last one to go
into history. But the big powers, which cooperated with him for many
years, bear substantial responsibility for his crimes. And the big
powers erred in supporting financially and strengthening the communist
dictatorship in former Yugoslavia for many years, i.e., decades.
I have to stop at this point. Anybody who is interested can read three
ADDENDA and the large portion of my paper on my mentioned Internet Site
without any specialized knowledge, and the history of my struggle to get
my ideas published for the past three years when the experiments at the
University of Nottingham woke me up from my scientific hibernation.
Although I never obtained the exact results of those experiments, I
believe that they are in conformity with my unified field theory. The
modified Newton law, which is derived from my unified field theory and
which includes the very important anti-gravity term when the velocity
exceeds the speed of light, is in full agreement with the observed
expanding universe and Hubble's observations in late 1920's of the
recession of galaxies from each other with the recessional speed well
above the speed of light. BUT THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY WRONGLY CLAIMS ON
THE BASIS OF A SIMPLE MATHEMATICAL FORMULA THAT THE VELOCITY ABOVE THE
SPEED OF LIGHT IS IMPOSSIBLE, APPARENTLY GIVING A MATHEMATICAL FORMULA
THE STATUS OF A PHYSICAL LAW, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY AND TOTALLY ABSURD, AND
WHICH WAS CLEARLY INDICATED BY THE WELL-KNOWN PHILOSOPHER THE LATE SIR
KARL POPPER. My unified field theory is in full agreement with the
results of the BOOMERANG PROJECT published a year ago in NATURE, April 2000,
and
elsewhere that light - the cluster of electromagnetic waves - is not
bent by the gravitational field, in direct opposition to the wrong
assertion of the general theory of relativity that light is bent by
gravitation. My unified field theory excludes the existence of any
separate gravitational waves as wrongly predicted by the general theory
of relativity and never detected in spite of very extensive and very
expensive search for almost a century. There exist only
gravito-electromagnetic waves, which are observed everywhere in the
universe of various frequencies. The paper by Dr. L. Essen, Fellow of
the Royal Society, published in The Proceedings of the Royal Institution
of Great Britain, volume 45, 1972, pp. 141 - 160 must be mentioned here,
in which Dr. Essen states that "the theory of relativity is readily
demolished by the application of a little reason". On the basis of my
unified field theory, I must state once more that I think that it is
possible to accelerate electrons and other particles above the speed of
light. It is with hope to raise sufficient interest and support, so that
I can obtain sufficient funds to perform an experiment to accelerate
electrons above the speed of light, i.e., to prove or disprove my
theoretical ideas, that I wrote this very short history of my TRUE LIFE.
In spite of my advanced age, I am very interested and eager and quite
able to undertake the task to prove or disprove my theoretical ideas,
AND TO LAUNCH MYSELF AND THE ENTIRE HUMANITY INTO THE UNKNOWN, AS IT
APPEARS IN MY MIND.
I certainly hope that this writing of TRUE LIFE of me, Jovan Djuric,
will not be ignored by the BBC and you, Mr. Michael Rosen. I took your
challenge literally. Your first name Michael means in Hebrew mikhael who
is like a God, and it happens to be the name of my nonidentical twin
brother. My name Jovan is derived from Hebrew yohanan < yehohanan which
means the Lord is gracious. You and I belong to the same civilization.
Civilization means beside other things that when one fellow is addressed
and greeted by another fellow, the addressed fellow MUST respond with
greetings, since otherwise civilization ends and barbarism begins. I am
saddened that the four fellow members of your BBC team ignored my direct
approach with my greetings ( see the three ADDENDA on my mentioned
Internet Site, particularly my letter of February 8, 2000 ) which were
never acknowledged. So RUDE BEHAVIOR of English presumably younger
generations as discussed on the BBC AGENDA on Sunday, May 13, 2001
begins unfortunately with the Producer and the Presenter of the very BBC
AGENDA program, which is a very fine program of the BBC, and also with
the Producer of the BBC SCIENCE IN ACTION which is also a very fine
program, and also with the Presenter of OUTLOOK, which is also a very
fine BBC program. If you decide to follow their example in spite of your
direct invitation, because I happen to be a Serb by birth but truly a
citizen of the world, i.e., evidently the worst barbarian as the people
of the world condemned my native country and all Serbs, including
presumably myself, for the past 10 years, BUT WRONGLY, I shall be very
saddened watching "the things I gave my life to, broken", and the Serbs
will have no alternative but to "stoop and build 'em up with worn-out
tools" as the immortal Rudyard Kipling sang.

PAPER "THREE
WISHES" AS E-MAILED TO THE BBC OUTLOOK
The text was written and edited by Jovan Djuric in the extensive
care coronary unit of the City Hospital in Belgrade, while recuperating after
the heart attack
Dear staff members of the BBC Outlook:
I am hereby entering your competition with your invitation to all listeners to write about the three wishes-dreams to be accomplished
before death.
My first wish-dream is to see the publication of my paper "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" with the subsequent discussion and some
experiments performed to prove that planetary magnetism is truly a
manifestation of gravitation, which can be strictly and logically
incorporated into the Newton theory of gravitation as my paper shows.
That paper was refused to be even reviewed by many physics journals to
which it was submitted without any opinion, but one single editor stated
after over six months of reviewing that "Newton's theory of gravity is
no longer a valid starting point for developing new physical theories".
That editor insists that "one has to take care of the relativity
principle and to study Einstein's theory right from the beginning". That
blinded relativist Professor Friedrich W. Hehl (University of Koeln),
co-editor of Annalen der Physik failed to realize that my paper is only
the new application of the classical Newton theory of gravitation. My
paper is indeed the true finishing - completion of that fundamental
theory of physics, so to include magnetism. My paper has nothing to do
with the Schuster - Blackett "effect". That dogmatic relativist
Professor Hehl forgets that Einstein himself claimed that his general
theory of relativity reduces to the classical Newton theory of
gravitation for velocities well below the speed of light, and certainly
for the static case, and my paper deals essentially with the problem of
statics. Professor Hehl might profit to take a refresher introductory
sophomore course of the classical Newtonian mechanics, including
statics, which he has obviously forgotten, or may have never learned.
His statement, dismissing the classical Newton theory of gravitation
almost disparagingly, is the evidence of his dogmatism and his total
ignorance of the foundations of modern physics. He is one of the
"specialists", or the "learned ignoramuses" as Jose Ortega y Gasset
called them in his famous book "The Revolt of the Masses", who prevented
the publication of my ideas for over 40 (forty) years. The BBC can help
to overcome such blind and arrogant dogmatism, which prevents the
progress of science as the history abundantly shows. My paper is the
glorification of the great work of the spiritually immortal Sir Isaac
Newton, the founder of modern physics.
My second wish-dream is to see the true publication of my paper
"UNIFICATION OF GRAVITATION AND ELECTROMAGNETISM", which represents my
unified field theory, i.e., the true unification of the grandiose works
of Newton, Faraday and Maxwell. The essential part of my unified field
theory was first outlined in my short essay, which was awarded the fifth
prize in 1963 by the Gravity Research Foundation in New Boston, New
Hampshire, USA in the 1963 International Competition of Essays on
Gravity, but refused to be published by all physics journals without any
opinion, presumably for reason that my ideas contradict the relativity
theories and the dogmatic belief about the four basic forces of nature
(sic!), which so strangely resembles to Aristotle's four elements. The
history of my attempts to publish my ideas for the past 40 (forty) years
can be found on my Internet Site: http://jovandjuric.tripod.com
My third wish-dream is, after the discussion of my truly published
ideas, to obtain sufficient funds of about 10 million US dollars to
attempt to accelerate electrons above the speed of light, which I
believe on the basis of my theory that it is possible, in spite of the
dogmatic belief that it is impossible, so that the mankind can try one
day "to reach the unreachable stars" as the Man of LA Mancha dreamed.
Without the dreams, the new ideas and the struggles, the mankind would
still believe in the four elements of Aristotle and that the Earth is
the center of the Universe, we would not have air transport, since it
was even "proved" that the flight of objects heavier than air was
impossible, but the Wright brothers did not listen and did it anyway,
thus fulfilling the ancient dream of Daedalus and his son Icarus, their
dream flamed up by "loci natalis amore", the superb supersonic CONCORDE,
which just flew into the history by being grounded, would not have been
built, etc., etc. "When one wishes upon the stars, no wish is too
extreme". My dreams and ideas are drawn from the great works of the
three truly great and spiritually immortal men Newton, Faraday and
Maxwell. But Einstein must be excluded, since, among the others, Dr. L.
Essen, Fellow of the Royal Society of Great Britain in The Proceedings
of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, volume 45, pp. 141-160, 1972
showed clearly that "the relativity theory is readily demolished by the
application of a little reason", and the Boomerang Project, which was
published in NATURE and elsewhere, including the BBC Homepage on April
26, 2000, demolished the general theory of relativity by proving
experimentally that the Universe is not curved and that the beams of
light are not deflected by gravity as the general theory of relativity
erroneously asserts. The words from the BBC Homepage of the BBC's
Christine McGourty are quoted: "The Universe is flat and will probably
expand forever". And the Voyager just flew into that infinite Universe!
Further, the gravitational waves, which were predicted by the general
theory of relativity, were never detected so far, in spite of the very
extensive and the very expensive search for those waves for nearly a
century. Such separate gravitational waves do not exist in nature
according to my unified field theory. And also, the general theory of
relativity postulated ad hoc a constant to be the antigravity, which is
an extreme violation of logic, while in my unified field theory, the
antigravity occurs naturally in connection with the modified Newton law
of gravitation in certain situations of the moving masses.
So, the staff members of the BBC, PLEASE help me to try TOGETHER to
realize the dreams of the entire mankind to reach the unreachable stars
by making the first step to accelerate electrons above the speed of
light. There is nothing that we can lose in such an attempt, except our
ignorance and our dogmatic bigotry. But we could perhaps reach the
stars. Per ardua et aspera ad astra!
Sincerely,
Jovan Djuric, a BBC listener since 1939, a naturalized US citizen, a
Serb by birth and a retired former Professor of Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, USA

LETTER OF PROFESSOR HEHL,
EDITOR, ANNALEN DER PHYSIK
Dear Professor Djuric,
Thank you very much for your letter. Your original paper was still with
the referee. Now I phoned the referee and sent to him/her the revised
version of your paper.
After having gone through the revised version, the referee will send me
his/her report.
But at the phone the referee told me already that he/she has grave
difficulties with your paper. To relate gravity/noninertial effects with
magnetism is by no means new, as the refree pointed out, see the
Balckett effect, e.g. Moreover, according to general relativity, one has
the GRAVITOelectric field that you relate with magnetism, what do you do
about the GRAVITOmagnetic field, would you relate it to electricity? In
other words, so the referee, Newton's theory of gravity is no longer a
valid starting point for developing new physical theories. One has to
take care of the relativity principle and to study then Einstein's
theory right from the beginning.
You don't need to answer these points since the referee will write them
down and then I will forward to you his/her report. I just wanted to
indicate that there seem to be strong arguments against the validity of
your paper.
Best regards,
Friedrich W. Hehl

FINAL LETTER OF
PROFESSOR HEHL, EDITOR, ANNALEN DER PHYSIK
Dear Professor Djuric,
In the light of the letter you sent to me (a copy of your letter to the
BBC), I am no longer considering your paper for possible publication in
the Annalen der Physik.
Yours sincerley,
Friedrich Hehl
Co-editor Annalen der Physik
January 6, 2004
REBUTTAL OF JOVAN DJURIC
TO THE EDITORIAL COLLEGIUM OF THE ANNALEN DER PHYSIK
Dear members of the Editorial Collegium of the Annalen der Physik:
I am your older and retired colleague, a former Professor of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science at the University of new Mexico in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A. and a naturalized U.S. citizen, a Serb
by birth.
On April 7, 2003 I submitted my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF
GRAVITATION" in the pdf format to Professor F. W. Hehl, co-editor
Annalen der Physik for possible publication. Not receiving any news for
six months I sent on October 6, 2003 to Professor Hehn the revised
version of my paper in the pdf format, to which Professor Hehl responded
on October 15, 2003 with an amazing and insulting letter. Professor Hehl
wrote in that letter that "Newton's theory of gravity is no longer a
valid starting point for developing new physical theories". Adding
insult to the injury, Professor Hehl continued with an insulting advice
to me, an old professor who has devoted all life to the very meticulous
re-examination of the basic tenets of physics, that "One has to take
care of the relativity principle and to study then Einstein's theory
right from the beginning". That letter of Professor Hehl of October 15,
2003 including my letter of October 6, 2003 are attached herewith.
Since the referee and Professor Hehl were not able to find any
mathematical, logical or factual error in my paper, Professor Hehl
resorted in his said letter to me to the above cited dogmatic dismissal
of the fundamental Newton's theory of gravitation, which is essentially
the foundation of modern physics, and almost disparagingly to claim that
"there seem to be strong arguments against the validity of your paper".
That statement of Professor Hehl raises the question whether he really
knows even the general theory of relativity, since Einstein himself
claimed that the general theory of relativity reduces to the Newton
theory of gravitation for the velocities well below the speed of light,
and most certainly for the static case, and my paper is essentially a
problem of statics. My response was my letter of November 30, 2003 to
the BBC Outlook entering the competition about three wishes-dreams to be
accomplished before death, attached herewith. Professor Hehl responded
immediately as an offended boy on December 1, 2003 telling me that my
paper is no longer considered for publication without any opinion. By
the way, the winner of that BBC competition was a German doctor.
It is amazing what happened. Instead of receiving a careful, impartial
and fair opinion about my paper from my peers-colleagues, the referees
of the old and highly reputable physics journal Annalen der Physik,
presumably German scientists, who, I believed, are very methodical,
precise and fair, I received the rejection of the fundamental theory of
physics upon which my paper is indeed based together with an insulting
suggestion "to study then Einstein's theory right from the beginning"
just like an ignorant boy, just like a superior Uebermensch to an
inferior and ignorant underdog from the lower Slavic race !!!
I believe and I have no reason whatsoever for doubts, but, nevertheless,
I am always skeptical as every true scientist must be and I look forward
to discussions, hence, I believe that in my search for truth of nature
based on facts, which have been overlooked in physics for a very long
time, that I discovered a truth which is of the utmost importance for
further progress of physics, which is the interplay of the two points
within every body regardless of its size, even within the elementary
particles. These two points are the center of self gravity and the
center of mass. With these two points correctly used, and the origin of
the coordinate system correctly chosen to coincide with the planet's
center of self gravity, it is possible to show that the planetary
magnetism is strictly the manifestation of gravitation, i.e., planetary
magnetism is strictly and logically a part of the somewhat widened
Newton theory of gravitation. That is in a nutshell the content of my
paper. That logic of those two points should and must be carried into
the microcosm with conclusions which may be very important for further
progress of physics. The discussion after the publication of my paper
may be of interest for better understanding of this issue.
Every scientific journal, including the Annalen der Physik, is
established with one SINGLE GOAL, which IS THE RELENTLESS AND
UNCOMPROMISING SEARCH FOR TRUTH. The publication of a paper in a journal
is not at all the recognition of that paper as true and correct, but it
does mean that the referees could not find any error in that paper and
that its content is interesting for further discussion by the entire
scientific community in search for truth. The rejection of a paper only
on some dogmatic grounds without finding any error in the rejected paper
is the attempt for the censorship which is the gravest enemy of truth.
THE RELATIVISTS, like Professor Hehl, BY INSISTING THAT EVERYTHING MUST
START FROM THE RELATIVITY THEORY "right from the beginning" AND THAT
"Newton's theory of gravity is no longer a valid starting point for
developing new physical theories", FOLLOW OBVIOUSLY THE IDENTICAL
INFAMOUS POLICY OF THE INQUISITION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHICH
PROHIBITED ANY DISCUSSION OF THE HELIOCENTRIC THEORY AS HERESY 4(FOUR)
CENTURIES AGO.
I am saddened to have to state that the above described events about my
paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" have degraded and
belittled the reputation of the German culture in general and of the
Annalen der Physik in particular. Having in mind the importance of the
discovery which I have made in my paper, which is so simple to be almost
unbelievable and expressed in the mathematical form which must be
understood by every physicist who should and must have passed a
comprehensive second year university course of the classical Newtonian
mechanics, I take the liberty to ask you, the Members of the Editorial
Collegium of the Annalen der Physik, to reconsider my paper for
publication in the interest of the search for truth and the progress of
physics, and so to close this unpleasant episode as another chapter of
the never ending struggle for truth. My paper "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" in the pdf format is attached herewith for
your convenience.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter and your courtesy.
Sincerely
Jovan Djuric

POSTSCRIPT dated March 29, 2005 to my letter dated September 22, 2004 to the President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Truth, scientific or any other, liberates, but often offends, hurts and even destroys the established orders and reputations. The history of humanity is a never ending story of the suppressions of truths by all means by those in power, who are corrupted by power and want desperately to stay in power. True wisdom of life is not to tell the whole truth sometimes, as the example of Galileo shows clearly. But wisdom, which often includes compromises, and even untruths, i.e. lies, must be absolutely excluded from science which is a search for uncompromising truth. Of course, with the increasing knowledge of facts, what at one moment appears to be truth, may turn out not to be truth after all. And that makes the progress of science possible. The moral - lesson is that no truth in science, and life generally, should be considered as absolute, but always subject to the re-examinations. By the way, this is the true justification for the abolition of the death penalty.
It is with sadness to report that the President of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, with obvious arrogance of power, bigotry, and contrary to the normal civilized manners, ignored the here enclosed letter, never acknowledging its receipt, thus accepting as correct the obviously incompetent, erroneous and prejudiced report of the referee for the Physica Scripta, thus rejecting my paper once more by denying the re-submission of my paper. But the Annalen der Physik proclaimed the entire classical Newton's theory of gravitation as not valid in order to reject my paper! The ways and means of the Physica Scripta and the Annalen der Physik for the rejection of my paper are so wildly different, that one wonders whether the same paper was considered. But there is one common feature in those rejections. The Physica Scripta wants to protect the dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's magnetic field, while the Annalen der Physik wants to protect the general theory of relativity, both against a competing theory as exposed in my paper. But the really good theories and ideas never need any protections. And the competition of the ideas naturally leads to the increased chance to discover real truth, just like the competition between the manufacturers leads naturally to the improved and better product, with which both The Physica Scripta and the Annalen der Physik must agree. However, the prevention of a competing theory from publication is obviously the best way to stay in power with the established theories, as it appears to be the only goal of the Physica Scripta and the Annalen der Physik, rather than search for truth. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which publishes the Physica Scripta together with some other institutions, has betrayed dismally in this case the noble ideal of the late Alfred Bernhard Nobel and his Nobel Foundation to assist the advancement of science. But too many editors followed that same way. What a wretched present condition of the international scientific community in which the scientists are more interested in reputations and power politics, rather than in the search for truth! The Royal Society of The United Kingdom, whose most famous member was Sir Isaac Newton, refused to review the somewhat widened theory of Newton as presented in my paper, which glorifies Newton's theory, and The Royal Society was informed that the Annalen der Physik proclaimed Newton's theory as no longer valid.
The entire humanity abhors undoubtedly and condemns absolutely the suppressions of ideas and truths and other crimes done in the past by the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church, the German nazi regime, the communist regimes and other tyrannical empires. But the bigoted editors of the scientific journals and their anonymous bigoted referees are doing now almost the same thing by preventing the publications of the competing ideas and theories in order to protect the status quo and the established order. The bigoted editors of the Physica Scripta and the Annalen der Physik have prevented the publication of the new idea in my paper on the basis of the obviously incompetent and wrong reports as stated above. The bigoted editors and / or officials of the following journals and / or institutions have rejected my paper without any arguments or reports whatsoever, politically stating only that my paper is not suitable for the publication in their journals, some almost immediately and some even after a considerable time of over nine months:
1. Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 2. The Royal Society of the United Kingdom,
3. Proceedings A: of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, 4. American Journal of Physics,
5. Annales Henri Poincare, 6. Annals of Physics, 7. Journal of Physics A,
8. Astronomy & Geophysics, 9. Classical & Quantum Gravity,
10. Journal of Mathematical Physics, 11. Physics Education, 12. Journal of the Franklin Institute,
13. Journal of Applied Physics, 14. Physical Review, 15. Physics Essays, 16. Progress of Physics,
17. Science, 18. Scientific American, 19. Annales de la Foundation Louis de Broglie
The only somewhat brighter side in the saga of my paper during the past three years is the Editorial Department of the Journal of Theoretics, which on October 2, 2003, after only twelve days from the submission of my paper, e-mailed that they had "a cursory review of your (my) paper and it looks fine", but they cannot publish it due to its length, its scope, cost and "we have our issues booked out for over a year". The Editorial Department of the Journal of Theoretics offered to put my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" "with a few touch-ups and no significant editing in our Extensive Papers Section. We convert the article to PDF". My consent was asked, which I never sent, but only after a few days on October 13, 2003 I was informed that "Your (my) article is now online in our Extensive Papers Section at http://www.journaloftheoretics.com/Links/Papers/JD.pdf". My paper is still there, but unfortunately, due to some errors in converting to PDF, the arrows on the vectors appear as letters. But my paper is understandable in that form. It is an early version of my paper.
This is the true story of my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" for the past 3 (three) years. It appears that the present-day bigoted editors by suppressing the publications of new ideas have returned some 400 (four hundred) years back, except that the "maladaptive men" of today, who think differently, are no longer burned at the stake, but rather "mercifully" retired from the profession by suppressing the publication of their "crazy" ideas. Some details of my wishes and / or plans can be found on my Internet site http://jovandjuric.tripod.com . I would like to accelerate electrons above the speed of light and to prove experimentally that the magnetism is a manifestation of gravitation. That may appear as crazy to some, but that is what I see in my mind as possible, and nobody so far has given me any logical argument against. These ideas should be tried experimentally, but those in power at the present time do not allow, preferring status quo.
Dear President of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,
I am a naturalized U.S. citizen, a Serb by birth and a retired, former professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, U.S.A., where is my legal domicile.
On September 23, 2002, almost two years ago, I submitted electronically my paper entitled "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" to the Physica Scripta, which is published by your Academy. On April 4, 2003, after over six months, my paper Ms 839 was rejected by the Editor Dr. Roger Waeppling, who enclosed a single Report of the referee which begins as follows quoted verbatim :
"I have not gone into all the mathematical details presented in this manuscript, because I think that the fundamental assumptions used are completely erroneous." The referee further quotes some well-known facts praising the dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's magnetic field and ignoring all facts and arguments in my paper, and never stating which "fundamental assumptions used are completely erroneous". It is strange that the Editor Dr. Waeppling accepted this obviously biased and inadequate Report, in which the referee explicitly declines to consider my paper. The mathematical details, which referee refused to consider, are rather elementary at the level of the second year University course of the classical Newtonian mechanics, which raises the question whether that referee is really an expert who knows quite well the classical mechanics to be able to consider my paper which is the strict application of the classical Newtonian mechanics, or, perhaps, that referee is only a narrow specialist on the dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's magnetic field. The entire report is enclosed at the end of this letter.
I did not respond to Dr. Waeppling about that obviously inadequate and extremely biased report, since I submitted my paper immediately to the Annalen der Physik believing that this is better than to argue with that referee. To my great surprise, on October 15, 2003, after over six months, I received a letter from the co-editor of the Annalen der Physik Professor F. W. Hehl telling me that "Newton's theory of gravity is no longer a valid starting point for developing new physical theories. One has to take care of the relativity principle and to study then Einstein's theory right from the beginning". This is an amazingly dogmatic utterance, absurd, anti-scientific and absolutely wrong! The classical Newtonian mechanics is undoubtedly the foundation of our entire modern civilization and science. I responded to Professor Hehl emphasizing that Einstein himself stated repeatedly that his general theory of relativity must give the exactly identical results as the classical Newtonian mechanics for the low velocities, and also certainly for the static case as analyzed in my paper. But my paper was rejected without any further report or opinion. These are the only two opinions about my paper which I received so far.
You see that the referee of the Physica Scripta was biased in favor of the dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's magnetic field, while the Annalen der Physik was biased in favor of the general theory of relativity, and they rejected my paper without really considering it, which is anti-scientific. A scientific theory, to quote Professor Sir Herman Bondi, must live a dangerous life in order to be a scientific theory. Only a dogma is unchangeable and absolute. My paper connects the Earth's magnetic field with gravitation by the strict application of the rules and the law of the classical Newtonian mechanics, and also connects the Earth's climatic variation with the Earth's magnetic field among many other facts. I believe that it should be published in the interest of the understanding of nature and the search of truth, not wisdom as Dr. Waepling's referee imputes to me in his Report, but wrongly. Wisdom is a matter of politics and science is only a search of truth and relationships between the various physical facts. And I am only a scientist, very far from a politician.
To complete the story, then my paper was submitted to many various physics journals only to be rejected without any opinion or report whatsoever telling me that my paper is not suitable for their journal. Finally, my paper was recently submitted to the Proceedings A of The Royal Society of the United Kingdom. I expected that The Royal Society whose most famous member was Newton, will give me at least a thorough report, but I received very recently the letter from Dr. T. Holt on behalf of the Editor, telling me that my paper was rejected without any report. Dr. Holt expressed his hope in his letter that my paper will be published somewhere else. I believe that the ardent relativists at The Royal Society managed to suppress publication of my paper without any report, which shows that politics has entered science, which is deplorable.
I know that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which selects the Nobel Prize winners for physics, chemistry and economy, did not award Albert Einstein for the theory of relativity, since in the citation for his Nobel Prize in 1921, the theory of relativity is not mentioned. My paper adheres strictly to the classical Newtonian mechanics and widens somewhat Newton's theory of gravitation connecting geomagnetism with gravitation and many other facts by using the geophysical coordinate system with the origin at the center of self-gravity of the Earth, not the center of mass of the Earth as used so far. To my surprise, my paper was met apparently with so much intolerance so far that it is amazing and resembles the hostility towards the heliocentric theory by the Inquisition of the Catholic Church.
I believe that your Academy is the only institution which may dare to publish my ideas which I consider as my contribution to science. In view of that, I take the liberty to send you herewith the PDF format of the latest version of my paper as my submission via your Office for possible publication in the Physica Scripta or any other publication of your Academy. I apologize for bothering you, but I feel very strongly that the publication of my paper is in the best interest of the further advance of science. I need its publication in order to perform some experiments for which I need assistance.
Thank you very much for your attention to this letter and your cooperation.
Sincerely

RE: Ms. No 839 Magnetism as manifestation of gravitation
I have not gone into all the mathematical details presented in this manuscript, because I think that the fundamental assumptions used are completely erroneous.
>From a mathematical point of view the well-known Poisson's relations state that the magnetic field from a given distribution of magnetization is proportional to some derivative of the gravity field from a density distribution which itself is proportional to the magnetization distribution. This relation has found useful applications in the implementation of algorithms used for forward and inverse modelling of potential fields.
This mathematical rule should not be taken to imply that in the earth - or the planets for that matter - that the magnetization and density distributions are proportional. As a matter of fact it is well known that the ferro/ferri magnetic properties vanish at the Curie temperature, above which the paramagnetic magnetization, possibly reduced by any external field, decreases according to Curie-Weiss' law (proportional to 1/T). For the Earth it means that basically only the upper 40-50 km of the Earth's lithosphere can contain magnetization.
The Earth's magnetic field and its behaviour with time is now generally understood as an action of the so-called geodynamo. As a matter of fact over the past 10 years or so much progress has been made in simulating the geodynamo using simplified, yet realistic models for complicated magneto-hydro-dynamic interactions that keep the dynamo going.
In equation 12 the number of terms depends on the where you truncate the series expansion, i.e. if you use the first or second order approximations. You cannot say that one has a physical meaning and the other not.
Generally, changing the origin of the coordinate system from the mass centre (or dipole centre) will change the terms in the spherical harmonic expansion. This is because these terms are required mathematically to describe the physical field, but it does not change the physical source. For example consider the simple form of the field of a dipole. If the origin is at the dipole only the dipole term is needed. If you displace the origin a small distance away from the dipole, multi-pole terms appear in the mathematical representation, but the physical source is still the same simple dipole. (The same is true for gravity versus centre of mass).
I am afraid that the author has followed a wrong track in his search for wisdom. Mathematical trickery is necessary but not sufficient tool for finding the right way. The manuscript should thus be rejected for publication.

ADDENDA to SAGA OF THE PAPER
"MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION"
Few spotted typographical errors in the above writings have been
corrected today, and this opportunity is used to add to this SAGA some further
facts and consequences of this paper. Namely, my said paper was submitted on
June 17, 2004 to the Annales de la Foundation Louis de Broglie, and its receipt
was acknowledged by the Editor, who never sent so far any report or decision
about this paper, although that Editor has duly received this SAGA on March
29, 2005. It appears that the disclosure of the error in the very foundation of
physics in this paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION",
namely the erroneous choice of the center of mass of the Earth as the origin of
the geophysical coordinate system, which is apparently used erroneously for the
past three centuries, instead of the correct choice of the center of self
gravity of the Earth as the proper origin of the proper geophysical
coordinate system, that disclosure of that error is apparently received by the
editors and the present physics establishment as an offense which hurts their
pride and vanity, and threatens their reputations, positions and money. As a
consequence, those bigoted editors have abandoned even the normal civilized
behavior to respond promptly on time with the civilized reports about the submitted
paper. My said paper bears some resemblance formally to the heliocentric theory
of Mikolaj Kopernik, since in the both cases, Kopernik's theory and my
theory, the simple shift of the coordinate origin from one point to another
point is of the paramount importance and leads to the proper coordinate system,
which itself leads to truth. The extreme hostility towards the Kopernikan
revolution, as Immanuel Kant dubbed (named) it, is well-known in the history of
humanity over four centuries ago. My paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF
GRAVITATION" is met now in the 21st century with the apparently identical
psychopathic hostility by the present physics establishment. It is amazing, but
it appears that the history almost repeats itself in this case. WHAT A WRETCHED
PSYCHOPATHIC PRESENT CONDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, IN
WHICH THE SCIENTISTS - PHYSICISTS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN POWER POLITICS, THEIR
REPUTATIONS AND ENORMOUS MONEY FOR THEIR DUBIOUS AND QUESTIONABLE RESEARCH
CONTRACTS, RATHER THAN IN THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH!
In order to recapitulate, it must be emphasized that there are
many consequences of the mathematical - gravitational model as developed in this
paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION", which, in fact, is
the logical widening and completion of the classical Newton's theory of
gravitation. The obvious feedback between the planets and the Sun, modifying
mutually even their forms to some extent, which was introduced by this author in his papers for
the first time in physics, and which results in the Sun's mass dipolar moment,
i.e., the solar magnetic dipole almost normal to the Sun's axis of rotation, is
very important for the re-examination of the solar-planetary system as it
controls the sunspot cycles mainly by the action of the planet Jupiter. That Sun's mass dipolar moment is very probably the
real cause of the long time ago observed precession of the perihelion of the
planet Mercury and probably other planets closer to the Sun, but to a lesser
extent. Also, if this widened Newton's theory of gravitation is proved correct
by the experiments proposed in this paper, which is practically the experimental
certainty,
then the general theory of relativity becomes unnecessary, irrelevant and
logically absurd, besides being already seriously demolished by the BOOMERANG
PROJECT and the futile but very expensive search for the non-existing
"gravitational waves" for almost a century. Also, the logically absurd
concept of quarks, for whose research the Nobel Prize was awarded recently,
becomes totally unnecessary, irrelevant and must be abandoned. And the theory of
the elementary particles must be thoroughly re-examined. And the fact that this
model identifies magnetism as manifestation of gravitation may prove to be very
important in further research for CONTROLLING FUSION. Also, this model offers
the logical and convincing explanation of the ability of some animal species to
detect the conventional Earth's magnetic field, i.e., the dipolar portion of the
Earth's gravitational field according to this model. This model also completely
resolves the perennial enigma of the "elusive magnetic monopoles",
which turn out to be the ubiquitous mass monopoles. And this model connects the
climatic variations of the Earth with the variations of the intensity of the
Earth's magnetic field. And, lastly, as mentioned in my paper, the dynamo theory
of the origin of the Earth's magnetic field is absolutely inadequate to explain
some facts, besides being, as many researchers pointed out, in violation of the
fundamental principle of physics that heat cannot be transformed directly into
any other form of energy, and as such, it should be abandoned per se. That
theory is an instructive example of the illogical and useless mathematical
trickery.
Thus, it appears that all these consequences, which are easily
perceived from this paper, are probably the real reasons why the power holders
in the present physics establishment want to suppress the publication of my
paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" without any
discussions and reports, and thus to prevent the crucial experiments as
proposed in this paper. So, it appears, that the arrogant dogmatists, possibly
psychopaths, and / or the arrogant "learned ignoramuses", as the
distinguished Spanish philosopher, the late Jose Ortega y Gasset called such
narrow specialists, rule supremely the present establishment of physics,
suppressing totally the search for any truth which may threaten their power even
in the slightest form. What a pity! What a shame!

So, I am sending you somewhat belatedly the SAGA of my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" whose publication was prevented so far by those who rule the present establishment of physics.

My views about the infamous monopoly of thoughts in physics and about those dogmatists, possibly psychopaths, and / or "learned ignoramuses", who rule the present establishment of physics, totally excluding and forbidding any thoughts different from the accepted dogmas, are clearly stated in that SAGA and may be of interest to you and the BBC as my contribution to the BBC serial WHO RUNS THE WORLD. My said paper in the PDF format is also enclosed. That SAGA consists of the last seven pages of my Internet Site :

Subject: Paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION"
Dear Colleagues, the Co-editors of the Journal APEIRON:
At the beginning of this rather long document it must be stated that this
document will show that it appears that the entire international scientific
community has probably gone mad in connection with my paper "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION", since it is indeed very difficult to realize
that a relatively simple mathematical error in the very foundation of physics
remained unnoticed for centuries. But that error concealed for centuries the
almost incredible physical fact that magnetism is a manifestation of
gravitation. And that fact can be readily demonstrated experimentally to anyone
who is interested and willing to pay the traveling expenses to see and witness
such an experiment.
On May 30, 2005 I submitted my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF
GRAVITATION" to professor Stanley Jeffers for possible publication in
Journal APEIRON with my standard submission letter, to which Professor Jeffers
responded with the following letter of acknowledgment:

I received no response whatsoever from Professor Jeffers for five months, who
obviously choose to ignore me, just like the Editor of the Annales de la

Professor Valeri Dvoeglazov, whose name appears on the APEIRON Site as the Co-editor
of APEIRON covering almost the same field as Professor Jeffers. Professor Dvoeglazov
did not acknowledge the receipt of my paper, so on December 12, 2005 I submitted my

Re Paper by Djuric
"Magnetism as manifestation of gravitation"
Submtited to Apeiron
This paper claims that gravity can explain the earth's magnetic field. This is not a theory claiming some
fundamental connection between magnetism and gravity, rather that the earth's magnetism is simply a direct
manifestation of Newton's inverse square law.
I don not recommend publication as I think this is not good physics, and is misinterpreting some mathematical
analogies only. As well this very same paper has already been published in the Journal of Theoretics, available at

It is amazing to read that this referee, ignoring all experimental facts
quoted in my paper thinks " this is not good physics, and is misinterpreting some
mathematical analogies only ". The calculation in my
paper is the exact application of the rules and the laws of the classical
Newtonian mechanics, not any analogy whatsoever, but the origin of the
geophysical coordinate system of the Earth is moved from the center of mass of
the Earth, where it was erroneously placed in violation of the theory of
approximation to the correct point which is the center of self-gravity of the
Earth. As I stated in my paper, the non-existence of the torque given by the
Equation (20), Page 7 of my paper would mean the breakdown of the classical
Newtonian mechanics, which is absurd, but logically possible. The referee
"thinks" "this is not good physics", but
"thinking" is certainly not physics at all. Experiments and measurings
constitute the only true physics, and as I have stated at the end of my paper,
my experiments, i.e., measurings confirmed the existence of that torque given by
the equation (20), page 7 of my paper. The referee must "think" that I
made false statements of all quoted experimental facts including my experiments
mentioned at the end of my paper, which is insane. In fact, a recent experiment
with an apparatus with the magnetically levitating vertical axle (shaft), which
can rotate freely without any friction whatsoever, showed that a dipolar wooden
rod attached to that axle after some oscillations assumed identically the
same direction as the direction of the magnetic needle of an ordinary magnetic
compass. THIS PROVED BEYOND ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER THE EXISTENCE OF THE TORQUE
GIVEN BY THE EQUATION (20) Page 7 of my paper AND THE VALIDITY OF THE BASIC
HYPOTHESIS EXPRESSED BY THE EQUATION (24) Page 10 of my paper. It is obvious
that the referee is totally wrong in his (or her) "thinking", since
true physics deals only with experimentally measured results, not
"thinking". But that referee may be consoled by the fact that
Professor F. Hehl of the University of Koeln, Germany, the Co-editor of the
presumably highly reputable physics journal Annalen der Physik, stated after
over 6 (six) months of "thinking" that "Newton's theory of
gravity is no longer valid starting point for developing new physical theories.
One has to take care of relativity principle and to study Einstein's theory
right from the beginning". This is an incredibly stupid statement.
If the Newton's theory of gravity breaks down in this almost static case in my paper,
so breaks even the general theory of relativity in this case. But the referee for
the Physica Scripta in his arrogance of power after over six months of
"thinking" stated : "I have not gone into all the mathematical
details presented in this manuscript, because I think that the fundamental
assumptions used are completely erroneous". That referee "thinks"
without stating any argument the same as the referee of Professor Dvoeglazov and
they both ignore all the quoted experimental facts from geomagnetism, the
planetary, solar and stellar magnetism which all fit so extraordinarily well
into the gravitational model as presented in my paper, which is only the strict
application of the rules and the laws of the classical Newtonian mechanics with
some widening and strict definitions, and the correction of the erroneous choice
of the center of mass of the Earth as the origin of the geophysical coordinate
system. The center of self-gravity of the Earth must be used as the origin of
the proper geophysical coordinate system. The referee of Professor Dvoeglazov is
correct that my paper is available on the quoted Internet Site of the Journal of
Theoretics, but my paper was not published by that Journal. They placed my paper
on their Internet Site without my authorization. You can read more detail about
that problem and the history of my attempts to publish my paper on my Internet
Site:
Professor Dvoeglazov has made erroneous decision to reject my paper on the
basis of a report of an incompetent and / or dogmatic referee, a true
"learned ignoramus" as the distinguished Spanish philosopher, the late
Jose Ortega y Gasset called such specialists in his famous book "The Revolt
of the Masses".
As stated earlier, not receiving the acknowledgment of the receipt of my
paper from Professor Dvoeglazov, I submitted my same paper on December 12, 2005 for
possible publication in APEIRON to another Co-editor of APEIRON Professor Alexander
Kholmetskii. He acknowledged receipt of my paper with the following letter :

Review of "Magnetism as a Manifestation of Gravitation".
Before this paper is considered for publication, a better explanation is
needed for 2 topics.
1) Traditionally the first moment of mass, Eq. (8) divided by the mass
gives the "center of gravity" for an extended mass, the same as Eq. (10).
Why is the "center of self-gravity", Eq. (11) considered as a point of
action with another mass and how is the gravitational interaction as a
dipole (both attraction and repulsion) explained?
How is this dipole field equated to a magnetic field. (Gravitational
force using only parameters of mass density and distance, not a parameter
like permeability). Or, 2 objects can have the same gravitational
parameters, but greatly different magnetic properties.
I also think this paper should be shortened considerably.

Dear Professor Kholmetskii,
Thank you very much for your e-mail letter of January 3, 2006 and the enclosed Report
of your referee who requests a better explanation for two topics. My response follows.
1. The center of self-gravity and the center of mass of a mass distribution are
strictly defined by words on Page 2, lines 2 - 15 in my paper, and also
mathematically by the Equations as mentioned by the referee in the Report. The
traditionally used term "center of gravity" is confusing and must be
substituted by the correct term "center of mass". Namely, according to
the Webster's Dictionary, College Edition, the words gravity and gravitation are
fully interchangeable in physics. Gravity or gravitation really means the
gravitational field of a mass distribution. It is not at all clear what the
traditional term "center of gravity" really means. It is certainly not
the center of the gravitational field of the observed object, since, as the
referee clearly and quite correctly stated, the traditional term "center of
gravity" is the first mass dipolar moment divided by the mass. But the
first mass dipolar moment (the word dipolar is used for emphasis)
and the mass do not represent the gravitational field as defined by the
classical Newton's law of gravity (or gravitation). They are certainly the sources of the
gravitational field, but not the gravitational field itself. The center of mass
distribution is a clear term without any possibility for confusion, and should
be exclusively used and is indeed exclusively used in some recent books.
The center of self-gravity of a mass distribution (the word self is used
for emphasis so not to be confused with the traditional but incorrect term
"center of gravity") is the point normally within that mass
distribution at which the self-gravity field is zero, Page 2, lines 8 - 10 of my
paper. Of course, every mass object possesses its own self-gravity field.
The best and very instructive example is the simplest mass distribution of the
two non-equal point masses at a distance d from
each other. That is the idealized gravitational dipole with the well defined intrinsic
mass dipolar moment, and it may be used instead of the rod-like test object as
used and defined in my paper. The gravitational dipole - dipole interaction,
both attractive and repulsive, is a very wide topic and must be analyzed further
with further examples in future papers. One example is in my paper. Many
formulas from the conventional theory of magnetism can be taken with some very
little modifications in analyzing such problems. The mass dipolar moments, i.e.,
the gravitational dipoles are the sources of gravitational field and they are
identified with the magnetic moments by the Equation (24), Page 10 of my paper.
They, the mass dipolar moments, are very much pronounced and very extraordinary
in behavior for some materials as the experimental facts show.
2. The gravitational dipolar portion of the Earth's gravitational field is
equated to the conventional Earth's magnetic field (Equation (24), Page 10) with
the proper constant n2 (2 should be an index in fact ) to conform with the units
in view of the overwhelming evidence and facts from geomagnetism, which all
facts fit so extraordinarily well within the gravitational-mathematical
model as derived in my paper. The factor n2 is different for different materials
as concluded from the experimental facts, and that factor n2 is obviously
essentially associated with the permeability of the observed material. This
topic is obviously so wide and additional research is necessary. As used in my
paper, the factor n2 represents an average value for the Earth and probably for
all planets, the Sun and all stars, but not necessarily.
It is a fact that my paper appears to be somewhat longer compared to the
average paper length in the contemporary scientific journals, but my paper is
not so terribly long in view of some very serious consequences for science as
discussed in my paper. There is a very serious error in the very foundation
of physics, which my paper attempts to correct. Namely, the erroneous choice
of the origin of the geophysical coordinate system ruled out so far up to the
present moment the search for and the detection of the torque given by the
Equation (20), Page 7 of my paper. But I have detected that torque
experimentally as stated at the end of my paper. Nevertheless, the
additional experiments by a team of researchers at various sites around the
world are absolutely necessary. Such experiments should be also tried with the
so-called frictionless bearings utilizing the magnetic levitation technique with
the proper conventional magnetic shields with the vertical axle to substitute
the conventional pivot to hold the rotating rods made of the non-ferromagnetic
material loaded at one end of the rods by the same material. Such rods, after
some oscillation in the horizontal plane, should assume the same direction as
the needle of an ordinary magnetic compass according to the theoretical results
in my paper and my experimental results ! Such extensive experiments by a team
of researchers require financial support. The publication of my paper may help
in that respect.
As for the shortening of my paper, direct suggestions are welcomed. I have
tried to shorten my paper but some direct suggestions are invited to help me.
Which facts about geomagnetism should be cut ? I have tried my best so far to
find any experimental fact from the planetary, solar and stellar magnetism to
refute my mathematical-gravitational model, but I found none. So I included all
experimental facts which I found in the literature with some discussion and
remarks and comparison with the dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's
magnetic field. I believe that the Editor using his / her discretion should cut
out any portion of my paper which is not essential in his / her opinion.

Subject: Re: MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION
Dear Dr. Djuric,
Please find below a new comment by referee on your paper. Please be exact as
much as possible in your reply to the referee's questions, including his
initial ones.
Sincerely,
Alexander Kholmetskii
I still have the 2 basic questions, after reading his reply.
But I cannot presume that the author would write
his paper and explanations like I would. Actually, if it were I, I would
now rewrite the entire paper. I do not agree that the length of a paper
shows its importance. However, the experiment description should be
expanded. I now have a third question, is the "center of self-gravity"
for a distributed mass unique? (No)
As an example, here is a shortened "summary":
Conventional Newtonian mechanics has the line of action of gravitational
force passing through the center of gravity of a distributed mass.
However we hypothesize that an additional point needs to be considered, the
"center of self-gravity", where the force from intra-gravity of a mass is zero.
When this point is different from the "center of mass", say from a
non-symmetric mass density distribution, a gravitational moment is generated,
producing a dipolar characteristic for the gravitational field. This field
has many of the same characteristics as the earth's magnetic field, and the
2 are compared. Finally an experiment is described to test this dipolar
field hypothesis for the earth.
I responded with the following letter on February 4, 2006 :
Dear Professor Kholmetskii,
Thank you very much for your letter of January 23, 2006 and the new comment by your
referee on my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION".
The center of mass of a mass distribution is unique and invariant if that mass
distribution is not varying in time. Exactly the same holds for the center of
self-gravity of that mass distribution. For illustration, consider the idealized
gravitational dipole of the two non-equal point masses
at a distance d from each other. Let
designate the distance of the center of mass measured from
along the line from
to
, then by definition
,
which yields
.
For the center of self-gravity
measured from m1 along the line from
to
by applying the Newton's law of gravity, we write
, which yields
. G is, of course, the gravitational constant. It is easy to show that
for
. These two centers
and
are obviously unique and invariant if that idealized gravitational dipole
is not varying in time.
The referee suggested that the experiment description should be expanded. I have
kept the experiment description to the barest minimum. Due to the friction, the
experiments with the pivoted dipolar rod or needle made of the non-ferromagnetic
material as I have done some time ago are very tedious and time consuming. Those
experiments proved clearly and undoubtedly the existence of the torque given by
the Equation (20), Page 7 of my paper and the validity of the basic hypothesis
as expressed by the Equation (24), Page 10 of my paper. However, a young
technician constructed recently an apparatus with the magnetically levitating
vertical axle which can rotate freely without any friction and regardless
of any externally applied conventional magnetic field. The rotation of that axle
can be observed by the computer. During the experimental demonstration in a
Belgrade apartment of an engineer, a friend of that constructor, we, the three
professionals witnessed that the asymmetrical, i.e. dipolar needle made of wood
and attached to the vertical axle of the mentioned apparatus assumed after some
oscillations in the horizontal plane the same direction as the direction of the
needle of an ordinary magnetic compass. The experiment is straightforward and
quickly performed in a closed room to avoid the draught. That experiment
proved beyond any doubt whatsoever the existence of the torque defined by the
Equation (20), Page 7 and the validity of the basic hypothesis expressed by the
Equation (24), Page 10 of my paper. I am now trying to obtain the
sponsorship and to form a team of researchers for such experiments at various
locations, but that is not an easy task here in Belgrade. If your University is
willing to sponsor such experiments, I would be very interested to participate
together with that designer with his apparatus who is also interested to
participate. Please let me know if this is possible. Such experiments and
related research will open up entirely new chapter in science, particularly in
physics and astronomy. Of course, the results of such experiments should be
published by that team of researchers including myself and that designer.
I realize that it would be useful to shorten my paper but without losing the
completeness, which is not easy to achieve. Shortened truth may often conceal
deception and very often causes misunderstandings which may lead almost
invariably to useless arguments.
Thank you very much for your attention to this rather long but hopefully exact letter
and your cooperation.
Sincerely
Jovan Djuric

Dear Dr. Djuric,
Please find below a new comment by referee on your paper. I regret to inform
you that according to this comment, your paper cannot be published in
Apeiron.
Sincerely,
Alexander Kholmetskii
The center of self gravity does not appear to be unique, upon thinking
about this theory. Take 2 masses in a 1-dimensional coordinate system. (I
use masses instead of "point masses" to avoid singularities.) The first
mass is at x=0 and the second is at x=d. These coordinates can be the
"center of self gravity" of each of the masses. The point calculated by the
author is indeed a point of zero net gravitational force for the composite
masses. However, at x=0 the force is +, (directed toward x=d) that due to
the second mass alone. At x=d, the force is -, due to the first mass alone.
At x<0, the force is also +, and at x>d the force is -.
Just to the right of the author's point, the force is +, and to the left it
is -, as that point is a "zero force" location. So the curve of
gravitational force as a function of x has 3 zero points, one at the
author's calculated point, one at 0+, and one at d-. So I do not see how
unique calculations can be made, and recommend that the manuscript be
rewritten from the beginning, or abandoned if this objection cannot be
resolved.
This report of the referee is amazing and shows his (or her) total confusion and
incompetence in mathematics. The x-component of the gravitational field of the two
point masses
at x = 0
at x = d
respectively is strictly algebraically given by
.
Of course, G is the gravitational constant. The referee should compute this
expression for some numerical values and trace the curve - graph as the function
of x. That graph will show only one zero point exactly as given in my letter of
February 4, 2006 and the two singularities, not zeroes by any means as the referee
"thinks". Those singularities are at x = 0 and x = d. It is incredible
that that referee is obviously totally confused by this rather simple problem.
That referee should go back to school to study mathematics rather than to teach,
as probably that referee does! But I have found the incredible ignorance among
many professors of mechanics here in Belgrade and elsewhere in the world.
Such professors may know some highfaluting,
pretentious topics of rational theoretical mechanics but I found them totally
ignorant about some basic mathematical topics of the potential theory and
gravitation. This frightening ignorance of the fundamental problems by so many
physicists - professors, the "learning ignoramuses", is probably the
explanation for the fact that the erroneous choice of the origin of the
geophysical coordinate system was not noticed for centuries. It is obvious
from what was said above that Professor Kholmetskii accepted the opinion of a
totally incompetent, ignorant and probably dogmatic referee and rejected my
paper without any justification. That action of Professor Kholmetskii is even
more amazing, since in my letter to him on February 4, 2006 I described the
latest experiment which confirmed the existence of the torque
given by the Equation (20), Page 7 of my paper and the validity of the basic
hypothesis as expressed by Equation (24), Page 10 of my paper. In fact I suggested
even a possible cooperation in the additional experiments.
In conclusion, I want to express my regret that you all three may be offended by
some truthful statements above. Truth, scientific or any other, liberates, but often
offends, hurts and often destroys the established order and the reputations
of some individuals, which is the price for progress in science and life generally.
Truth, which I have discovered in science will triumph one day, sooner or later and
that will mean the downfall of two logically absurd theories in physics, i.e., the
dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's magnetic field and the relativity theory.
The probe which is now flying towards the planet Pluto to arrive there in about 9
years in 2015 is controlled by calculating its trajectory by the classical Newtonian
mechanics, not the general theory of relativity. Truth, which I discovered, will also
be instrumental to revise thoroughly the quantum mechanics eliminating logically
absurd "sub-elementary" particles like quarks, etc. And the solar tides
due to the planetary actions upon the Sun will help to understand the solar cycle
better as well as the precession of the perihelion of the planet Mercury by strictly
applying the classical Newtonian mechanics as done in my paper. And the fact that
magnetism is manifestation of gravitation will certainly lead to the solution how
to control FUSION. The classical Newtonian mechanics has not been adequately applied
so far due to the error in the very foundation of physics as shown in my paper.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely to quote Lord Acton. Politics
has entered science unfortunately, preventing the search for truth. Enjoying the
absolute power of censorship, the Editors, the Co-editors and the anonymous
referees have become corrupted even worse than the politicians
preventing publications at their will and whim, and even bragging (or swaggering),
as Professor Dame Julia Higgins, Foreign Secretary and Vice President of the Royal
Society of the UK, did on September 21, 2005 14:06 - 14:29 GMT (UTC) during the
BBC program WHO RUNS THE WORLD OF SCIENCE, that "we can prevent the development
of the genius, but we cannot create and develop a genius" (see my stated
Internet Site for details). This statement is indeed extremely frightening, since
the scientists - the rulers of science who control the enormous research funds have
become almost like the infamous notorious INQUISITORS of the Roman Catholic Church,
except it is no longer fashionable to burn at the stake the scientific infidels - the
scientists who profess scientific ideas contrary to the ruling faith, but rather to
retire them "mercifully".
It appears from the above facts that the entire international scientific community, particularily its ruling class, has probably gone mad in connection with my paper,
since it is indeed very difficult to realize that a relatively simple mathematical
error in the very foundation of physics remained unnoticed for centuries. But that
error concealed for centuries the almost incredible physical fact that magnetism
is a manifestation of gravitation. And that fact can be readily demonstrated
experimentally to anyone who is interested and willing to pay the travelling
expenses to see and witness such an experiment.

EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION

Abstract
A
gravitational experiment is described which shows that the dipolar rod-like or
needle-like mass test object made of the non-ferromagnetic material suspended or
pivoted at its center of mass in the gravitational field of the Earth assumes
after some oscillations the direction which is identical to the direction of the
magnetic needle of an ordinary magnetic compass at that location, which
presumably proves that the conventional Earth's magnetic field is a
manifestation of the Earth's gravitation.
The gravitational field is an old established subject
firmly based on the experiments of Galileo and Newton's theory of gravitation. It must be noted that the
experiments with gravity were done using a small ball, the legendary apple,
small enough compared to the Earth, that it can be treated approximately as a
mass point. But the experiments with the asymmetrical objects, the so-called
dipolar structures, lead to some interesting results which were not thoroughly
analyzed so far.
A dipolar needle-like or rod-like test object is
defined as an elongated mass object whose one end is bulkier with more mass
compared to the other end, and made of the non-ferromagnetic material.
Practically, it may be as an example a rod of 0.1 m in length and with the
rectangular cross section 5mm wide and 0.2mm thick with extra material at one
end, and made of bronze or any other non-ferromagnetic material, with the total
mass of about 1 gram, or more, with its center of mass about 1/4to 1/3 of its length measured from the bulkier end. Many similar test
rods or needles, larger or smaller, were tried in the experiments in order to
reduce friction, which was a very serious problem.
Using a bronze stand and a very sharp steel needle, a
vertical pivot was formed, which was grounded properly. The above defined
dipolar test rod was placed on that pivot very carefully at the center of mass
of that test rod, so that that test rod is horizontal and free to rotate without
any bearing at all, but unfortunately with some inevitable friction. The ruby
bearings were used in some cases, in order to reduce friction, and the large
number of the various needles, including the axles - shafts for the balance
wheels for the small watches. Oiling was applied to reduce friction, but that
was often counterproductive. The experiments were performed in the tightly
closed room to avoid air movement - draft and to keep the temperature and the
humidity constant. The experiments were extremely tedious and consumed a lot of
time, since the observed movement of the pivoted above defined test rod was very
slow. It was found that after some very slow oscillations the test rod assumed
the direction which was identical with the direction of the magnetic needle of
an ordinary magnetic compass at that location, with the bulkier end of that test
rod pointing towards the magnetic South. It was also found that this directional
effect disappears totally if the test rod is absolutely symmetrical with respect
to the pivot point. These are the facts, but to repeat such experiments requires
the extreme patience and care and lots of time.
Fortunately, the above described experiments can be
performed easily using the modern technology. Namely, a young Serbian technician
Mr. Nebojsa Kovacevic recently assembled an apparatus with magnetically
levitating vertical axle - shaft, which can rotate absolutely freely without any
friction whatsoever and is impervious, insensitive to any externally applied
conventional magnetic field. That apparatus was constructed to be used for
measurements of torsion and to monitor the minute directional variation of the
Earth's magnetic field when the ordinary magnetic needle from a magnetic compass
is attached appropriately to that vertical axle, instead of being pivoted as in
an ordinary magnetic compass. This author suggested that that magnetic needle be
replaced by the above defined dipolar rod or needle, which is a very simple
procedure. Of course, that apparatus must be placed on a true horizontal surface -
plane when it is used, so that the local true vertical line coincides quite properly
with the vertical axle - shaft of that apparatus. It is observed that that
dipolar non-ferromagnetic rod assumes after some oscillations in the horizontal
plane the direction which is absolutely identical to the direction of the
magnetic needle of an ordinary magnetic compass, which was identically obtained
in the above described experiments. The directional effect of the pivoted
dipolar non-ferromagnetic rod or needle is readily demonstrated by using such an
apparatus. This experiment with such an apparatus can be readily and easily
performed by anyone with such an apparatus, which is now available as a unit, and
also in the modular form to be assembled readily.
The cause of the obvious mechanical torque acting upon
the pivoted dipolar non-ferromagnetic test rod-object, i.e., the presence of the
obvious horizontal component of the force acting upon that test rod, cannot be
found in the accepted classical Newton's theory of gravity. The International Gravity Formula
defines only the vertical component of the force acting upon a test mass.
However, this author has discovered a centuries long mathematical error in the
very foundation of physics, whose correction can resolve this problem. Namely,
the coordinate origin of the geophysical coordinate system is defined to
coincide with the center of mass of the Earth. But if such a coordinate system
is used in the development of the gravitational potential of the Earth in the Taylor series at the coordinate origin, then by definition
the second dipolar term in that Taylor series is zero. That is a very serious problem and the
serious violation of the theory of approximation. Unless further terms in the Taylor series are used, the approximation is poor and
inadequate when the variation of the gravitational field around one point is
considered. But that problem is readily resolved if the coordinate origin of the
geophysical coordinate system is moved from the center of mass of the Earth to
the center of self-gravity of the Earth. The center of self-gravity of a mass
distribution is defined as the point normally within that mass distribution at
which the gravitational field of that mass distribution is zero. The center of
mass of a mass distribution is the point with respect to which the mass moment
of that mass distribution is zero. These two points are unique and quite
different, and invariant if the mass distribution is invariant. These two points
coincide only in the case of a mass distribution which is absolutely
symmetrical, and such a celestial body is never found in nature. The lack of
distinction of these two points as quite different is the perennial, centuries
long error in the very foundation of physics which propagates through physics up
to now. These two points are misunderstood, often considered as one point in the
literature so far, which is totally wrong.
Using the center of self-gravity of the Earth as the
coordinate origin of the geophysical coordinate system the approximate Earth's
gravity formula must contain not only monopolar term, but also the additional
dipolar term, which was erroneously dropped so far in the literature. In that
dipolar term the intrinsic mass dipolar moment of the Earth is calculated with
respect to the center ofself-gravity
of the Earth. With such a corrected Earth's gravity formula it is easy to show
by applying strictly the rules and the laws of the classical Newtonian
mechanics, that the pivoted dipolar test object is subjected to the torque which
is the vector product of the intrinsic mass dipolar moment of the Earth and the
intrinsic mass dipolar moment of the pivoted dipolar test object, with, of
course, the appropriate factor. Considering further all experimentally measured
results and facts from geomagnetism, it is concluded that the Earth's magnetic
field, and the magnetic field of any celestial body is a manifestation of
gravitation. It appears that the dipolar intrinsic mass moment of a celestial body
is indeed the magnetic moment of that body with the appropriate factor. All
mathematical details and reference to the numerous experimental facts concerning
this problem can be found in the paper by this author "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" on the Internet Site of The Journal of
Theoretics

Subject: Memorandum about cancellation of seminar with the experiment
I read with the disbelief and some sadness your e-mail letter to me of
March 9. 2006 apparently reneging on your previous agreement. Namely, at
the end of November 2005 I contacted the following institutions in Belgrade:
1. Mathematical Institute, i.e. Professor Bozic via Mrs. Gordana
Todorovic, Secretary of the Mathematical Institute and Dr. Slobodanka
Jankovic, M.I.
2. Professor A. Lipkovski, prorector of the Belgrade University
3. College (Faculty) of Electrical Engineering of the Belgrade University
4. College (Faculty) of Mechanical Engineering of the Belgrade University
5. Director, Geomagnetic Institute, Belgrade - Grocka
I suggested a demonstration of a simple and very quick experiment with
an apparatus consisting of a vertical magnetically levitating axle
without any friction whatsoever constructed recently by young Serbian
technician Mr. Nebojsa Kovacevic proving that a dipolar stick or rod
made of the non-ferromagnetic material assumes after some oscillations
the direction in the horizontal plane which is identical to the
direction of the magnetic needle of an ordinary magnetic compass. From
all above mentioned institutions, only you, Professor Bozic responded
and agreed to schedule my seminar lecture with that experiment
immediately after the fall semester recess, i.e., in March 2006 as I was
informed by Mrs. Gordana Todorovic and Dr. Slobodanka Jankovic. The
mentioned demonstration - experiment should show the correctness of the
mathematical analysis in my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF
GRAVITATION", in which the centuries old error in the very foundation of
physics is corrected and, as a consequence magnetism of the planetary
bodies is shown to be the manifestation of gravitation. That theme was
the subject of my two seminar lectures at the Mathematical Institute.
The fact is that the Mathematical Institute refused to publish my said
paper after my lectures, which shows that the members of the
Mathematical Institute failed totally to understand my paper and its
consequences in physics and astronomy.
Indeed, it appears that the centuries old and still continuing error and
/ or delusion that the center of mass of a celestial body coincides with
the center of self-gravity of that body, which is absolutely wrong, is
very difficult to correct, since countless generations thousands upon
thousands, probably millions of physicists, astronomers, engineers and
mathematicians for centuries were erroneously taught that the center of
mass is the center of self-gravity, which is wrong once more, and it is
indeed difficult to change that habit. Among those attending my seminar
lectures was the retired Professor of rational mechanics at the Belgrade
University Dr. Djordje Musicki, who should be considered as the most
qualified to follow my lectures. But in the discussion with him
personally in his apartment in Belgrade, after Mrs. Gordana Todorovic
had sent him the Internet copy of my paper I realized how sorely his
knowledge of the fundamental physics issues was inadequate and he
frankly admitted that he was confused about that problem. His successor
at the Belgrade University, Professor Dusan Filipovic after a prolonged
discussion about that issue repeated like an obstinate boy : "The center
of mass is the center of gravity"! What obstinacy and ignorance!
Professor Petar Grujic of the Physics Institute e-mailed me on December
30, 2003 : "I read your article today, it looks very intriguing and
convincing. Before I tell you my opinion, I shall consult a colleague
Professor Milutin Marjanov". This is the translation from Serbian. No
opinion was ever received since Professor Grujic is apparently
incompetent and ignorant about the fundamental physics issues like most
physicists in the Physics Institute, where, after a lecture, I hoped to
perform numerous experiments. That proved to be impossible due to the
hostility towards my ideas by some members of that Physics Institute
whose jobs are the absurd waste of money and must be discontinued after
my ideas are proved experimentally. My ideas are met with the same
hostility by the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, SASA for short. I
was amazed to witness total incompetence and ignorance of academicians
whom I met, particularly about the fundamental physics issues. Suffice
is to say that Dr. Nikola Hajdin, civil engineer and bridge constructor,
Professor of civil engineering at the Belgrade University and president
of the SASA, whose knowledge of classical mechanics and particularly
statics should be absolutely perfect, told me when I gave him a copy of
my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION", that he did not
consider himself competent to read that paper, although I assured him
that my paper deals with the basic application of the rules and the laws
of classical mechanics at the level of University sophomores (second
year students). From what I could conclude, except for the SASA members
- artists whose accomplishments I cannot judge, all other SASA members,
nominally scientists, are only at best the very narrow specialists -
"learned ignoramuses" as the distinguished Spanish philosopher the late
Jose Ortega y Gasset dubbed such narrow specialists in his book "The
Revolt of the Masses", and perhaps also dogmatists, but certainly not at
all the true scientists. My said paper shifts the coordinate origin of
the geophysical coordinate system from the center of mass to the center
of self-gravity and thus formally resembles the famous Kopernikan
revolution for whose promotion Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake,
while I was only labeled as anti-Semite and retired at the age of 50 for
promoting my unified field theory and also opposing the war in Vietnam.
Any true scientist should be interested to try to understand my
apparently revolutionary discovery, but not the "learned ignoramuses" -
the scientific politicants - dilettantes of the SASA and other Belgrade
so-called scientific institutions (politicant is somewhat disparaging
Serbian word for a politician). But it looks that the entire
international scientific community has gone probably mad and insane with
my said paper, since it is indeed very difficult to realize that a
relatively simple mathematical error, namely the incorrect choice of the
origin of the geophysical coordinate system, concealed for centuries
the almost incredible scientific fact that magnetism is indeed a
manifestation of gravitation as my said paper proves mathematically and
the simple and very quick experiment demonstrates for everybody to see
how the non-ferromagnetic dipolarly formed rod - stick assumes the same
direction as the magnetic needle of an ordinary magnetic compass. But
the Belgrade scientific community is not at all willing to bear witness
to such a demonstration - experiment and to see the scientific truth
which was concealed for centuries because of a simple mathematical error
to repeat once more, and that error is corrected by the simple shift of
the origin of the geophysical coordinate system which is somehow
analogous to Kopernik's heliocentric theory. And the scientists who do
not know the foundations of science remain forever the "learned
ignoramuses" or dilettantes - politicants. Their expert knowledge may be
useful in some situations, but they can seriously impede the progress of
science by their intrinsic ignorance as Jose Ortega y Gasset observed
astutely and shrewdly.
There is a consolation for the Belgrade scientific community, since the
entire international scientific community behaves almost exactly the
same. But the ruling class of the international scientific community is
not so ignorant as apparently the Serbian scientific community. The
ruling class of the international scientific community realizes that if
my ideas are proved experimentally, then the two accepted and highly
praised theories, namely, the dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's
magnetic field and the general theory of relativity fall down totally,
while the quantum mechanics must be thoroughly revised removing the
logically absurd "sub-elementary particles" like quarks, etc., and as
the consequence, the enormous money in billions of dollars which the
international scientific community obtained for some projects from those
fields must be diverted to some more useful projects for humanity,
rather than to be wasted on the absurd projects of the mentioned
erroneous theories, and that is what the international scientific
community dislikes intensely.
At the end of this Memorandum it must be stated that only one scientific
journal, namely the Journal of Theoretics rather than publishing my
paper, for which the Editorial Department praising my paper as "it looks
fine" excused itself due to the lack of funds because of the length of
my paper, and placed on October 13, 2003 my said paper on their Internet
Site not even waiting for my approval, and my said paper is still
available at the Internet address
Unfortunately, that Journal of Theoretics stopped publication recently
but the above stated Internet Site for my paper is still available. The
Journal of Theoretics was the only ray of hope for the true scientific
search for truth which I encountered so far. Many facts of my struggles
to get my ideas published and the consequences which I suffered so far
can be found on my Internet Site

It appears to me that the obvious sickness of the Serbian scientific
community reflects the deep sickness of the entire Serbian society. The
cleansing of the Serbian society, which is long overdue, should begin in
my opinion with the top, the sorely inadequate Serbian intellectuals,
who did nothing to prevent the tragic catastrophe of the Serbian people.
All Serbian intellectuals should be dismissed from their mainly
politically obtained elected positions. In that connection, an event
happened to me which may be of interest to history. In fall of 1992 the
sanctions were imposed upon Serbia, still called Yugoslavia at that
time, by the United Nations, including the United States of America,
whose Government stopped my US Federal Social Security pension, since I
resided in Serbia at that time. I was surprised by that action since I
was and still am a naturalized US citizen, a Serb by birth. There is no
doubt that stopping my Social Security pension was violation of my
rights as guaranteed by the US Constitution. I flew to the USA to try to
resolve the problem, but I was told to my great surprise that the
pension would be paid to me if I stayed in the USA only. In spite of
that unlawful action of the US Government, I returned to Belgrade. Few
days after my return my non identical twin brother Mihailo asked me to
go to his close friend, then the SASA secretary Dr. Dejan Medakovic to
fix Medakovic's TV set whose picture was only red. After inspecting that
TV set in Dr. Medakovic's apartment, we agreed that the TV set be
brought to my apartment to be fixed. I have many instruments necessary
for fixing various electronic gadgets and electronics is my profession
and my hobby since 1938 and I fixed many electronic gadgets without
payments to many pensioners in Belgrade. After that arrangement, we had
some whiskey and talked. I told Dr. Medakovic that I saw catastrophe
obvious to everybody looming upon the Serbian people and that something
should be done to stop Slobodan Milosevic whose political skills were
obviously and sorely inadequate as the situation in Serbia showed, and
that in my opinion he, Dr. Medakovic having such a position should try
something. I am a very frank man, the antithesis of a politician. I
always say what appears to me as a whole truth, or nothing at all, if it
is very dangerous to talk frankly. He must have interpreted my
suggestion as an offense, and he complained to my brother. He broke our
agreement and bought a new TV set. His old TV set was never fixed by me.
Dr. Medakovic obviously continued to play politics, or politicantism,
and even became the SASA President and the Serbian people still endure
the tragic catastrophe which could have been prevented if the SASA
members ant other leading Serbian intellectuals were wiser and a great
deal more morally acute.
Politics is the art of the possible, to quote a definition of a
well-known politician. The task of a politician is to somehow harmonize
the very widely diverging interests of the individuals in the human
society, in which process truth and untruth, i.e. lie, become so blurred
and almost indistinguishable. That is the reason why the politicians,
holding so much power, often succumb to corruption since as Lord Acton
said : "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". On the
other hand, science is the search for truth of the relations between the
inanimate objects. Scientific truth is considered as absolute until the
newly discovered facts show that it must be modified or abandoned.
Politics is absolutely inadmissible in science, since there can be no
compromise between "is true" and "is not true" in a scientific
experiment, although the "uncertainty principle" blurs that picture in
microcosm, in which region the uncertainty is devastating with our
present knowledge with the great deal of our ignorance and the present
state of the art of our instruments. Nevertheless the free discussion of
all logical scientific ideas must be allowed, which, unfortunately, is
not true anymore since politics entered science so widely at the
beginning and after World War II and some scientific ideas are
dogmatically suppressed as in totalitarianism, which I encountered with
my unified field theory for past half a century. But to suppress the
demonstration of a very quick and simple experiment as i encountered
lately in the Belgrade scientific community and elsewhere in the world
is the sure sign of ignorance, arrogance and insanity of the ruling
scientific class of today, and you, Professor Bozic and the Mathematical
Institute and the other four above mentioned Belgrade institutions
represent the wretched examples of that politicantism and dilettantism in
science. What a pity!! What a shame!!
This memorandum is placed on my above stated Internet Site as a document

people so far and probably also an extremely difficult if not the most
difficult period in the history of science. The address of my Internet

The Serbian translation of this Memorandum follows, but the original in
English is the authentic document. Mrs. Gordana Todorovic, Secretary of
the Mathematical Institute is kindly asked to furnish a copy of this
memorandum to every member of the Mathematical Institute, and to send a
copy to the Serbian Ministry of Science and Environmental Protection in
Belgrade.
Procitao sam sa nevericom i zaljenjem vase pismo od 9. marta 2006.
godine koje otkazuje vasu prethodnu saglasnost. Naime, krajem novembra
2005 godine ja sam kontaktirao sledece naucne ustanove u Beogradu:
1. Matematicki institut, tj. profesora Bozica preko gospodje Gordane
Todorovic, sekretarice Matematickog instituta i dr. Slobodanke Jankovic,
saradnika
2. Profesor A. Lipkovski, prorektor Beogradskog univerziteta
3. Elektrotehnicki fakultet Beogradskog univerziteta
4. Masinski fakulter Beogradskog univerziteta
5. Geomagnetni zavod, Beograd - Grocka
Predlozio sam demonstraciju prostog i vrlo kratkog eksperimenta sa
aparatom sa vertikalnom magnetski levitacionom osovinom bez ikakvog
trenja koji je nedavno konstruisao mladi tehnicar gospodin Nebojsa
Kovacevic. Taj eksperiment potvrdjuje da dipolarno formirani stap
nacinjen od neferomagnetnog materijala zauzme posle kracih oscilacija
pravac u horizontalnoj ravni koji je identican sa pravcem magnetne igle
obicnog magnetnog kompasa. Od gore pomenutih institucija samo ste vi
profesore Bozicu odgovorili preko gospodje Todorovic i dr. Jankovic i
saglasili ste se da se moje seminarsko predavanje sa eksperimentom odrzi
odmah posle semestralnog raspusta u martu 2006. Taj eksperiment
potvrdjuje ispravnost matematicke analize u mom clanku "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION", u kome je ispravljena vec vekovima stara
greska u osnovama fizike, i kao posledica pokazano je da je magnetizam
manifestacija gravitacije. Ta tema je bila predmet dva moja seminarska
predavanja na Matematickom institutu. Cinjenica da je Matematicki
institut odbio da publikuje moj pisani rad posle mojih predavanja
pokazuje nesumnjivo da clanovi Matematickog instituta nisu uopste
shvatili moj rad i posledice mog rada u fizici i astronomiji.
Zaista, izgleda da je vrlo tesko ispraviti vec vekovima dugu gresku koja
jos uvek opstaje da je centar mase ujedno i centar sopstvene gravitacije
nebeskog tela sto je potpuno pogresno, posto su se bezbrojne generacije,
hiljade i hiljade, a verovatno i milioni fizicara, astronoma, inzinjera
i matematicara vekovima pogresno ucili da je centar mase ujedno i centar
sopstvene gravitacije, sto da ponovimo je potpuno pogresno, a tesko je
promeniti tu naviku. Medju onima koji su prisustvovali mojim seminarskim
predavanjima je bio i penzionisani profesor racionalne mehanike
Beogradskog univerziteta dr. Djordje Musicki, koji bi trebalo da bude
najkvalifikovaniji da prati moja predavanja. Ali u diskusiji sa njim u
njegovom stanu u Beogradu posto mu je gospodja Todorovic poslala
Internetsku kopiju mog rada na engleskom jeziku, ja sam shvatio koliko
je njegovo znanje fundamentalnih problema fizike nedovoljno sto je on
iskreno priznao da je zbunjen tim problemom. Njegov naslednik na
Beogradskom univerzitetu profesor Dusan Filipovic posle duze diskusije o
tom problemu ponovio je kao neki tvrdoglavi decak : "Centar mase je
centar gravitacije". Kakva tvrdoglavost i neznanje! Profesor Petar
Grujic iz Instituta fizke poslao mi je elektronskom postom pismo 30.
decembra 2003. : "Procitao sam vas clanak danas, vrlo je intrigirajuci i
ubedljiv. Pre nego sto vam kazem moje misljenje, konsultovacu kolegu
profesora Milutina Marjanova". Nikakvo misljenje nije dobijeno posto je
profesor Grujic ocevidno nekompetentan i ne zna mnogo o fundamentalnim
problemima fizike kao i vecina fizicara u Institutu fizike, gde sam se
nadao da cu posle mog predavanja moci da izvrsim brojne eksperimente.
Ali to nije bilo moguce zbog velike netrpeljivosti izvesnih clanova
saradnika tog Instituta fizike ciji su poslovi apsolutno gubljenje novca
i morace da se prekinu kada se moje ideje potvrde eksperimentalno. Istu
takvu netrpeljivost prema mojim idejama izrazili su i clanovi Srpske
akademije nauka i umetnosti, SANU kao skracenica. Bio sam zaprepascen da
posmatram totalnu nekompetentnost i neznanje fundamentalnih problema
fizike kod akademika koje sam sreo. Kao primer dovoljno je reci da mi je
dr. Nikola Hajdin, gradjevinski inzenjer i konstruktor mostova, profesor
Gradjevinskog fakulteta Beogradskog univerziteta i predsednik SANU, cije
znanje klasicne mehanike a pogotovu statike bi trebalo da bude apsolutno
perfektno, rekao posto sam mu predao kopiju mog clanka "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" da on smatra da nije kompetentan da cita
taj moj clanak, mada sam ga ja uveravao da clanak sadrzi samo striktnu
primenu pravila i zakona klasicne mehanike na nivou univerzitetskog
studenta druge godine. Na osnovu mog posmatranja, izuzimajuci umetnike -
clanove SANU, cija postignuca ja ne mogu da procenim, svi ostali
clanovi SANU, nominalno naucnici, su u najboljem slucaju samo vrlo uski
specijalisti - "ucene neznalice" kao sto ih je nazvao istaknuti spanski
filozof pokojni Jose Ortega y Gasset u svojoj knjizi "POBUNA MASA", ili
mozda i dogmaticari, ali ni u kom slucaju pravi naucnici. Moj pomenuti
rad pomera koordinatni pocetak geofizickog koordinatnog sistema i u tom
pogledu podseca na cuvenu Kopernikansku revoluciju zbog cije promocije
je Giordano Bruno spaljen na lomaci, dok sam ja samo prevremeno
penzionisan u 50. godini zivota i obelezen kao antisemita zbog promocije
moje teorije jedinstvenog polja i zbog moje opozicije prema ratu u
Vijetnamu. Pravi naucnik trebalo bi da bude zainteresovan da pokusa da
shvati moje kako izgleda revolucionarno otkrice, ali ne naucnici -
politikanti clanovi SANU i drugih beogradskih takozvanih naucnih
institucija. (politikant je ponesto podrugljiva srpska rec za
politicara). Ali izgleda da je i citava internacionalna naucna zajednica
pobesnela i poludela u vezi sa mojim pomenutim clankom, jer je zaista
vrlo tesko shvatiti da je jedna relativno prosta matematicka greska zbog
pogresnog izbora koordinatnog pocetka geofizickog koordinatng sistema
sakrila vec vekovima gotovo neverovatnu fizicku cinjenicu da je
magnetizam zaista samo jedna manifestacija gravitacije, sto moj clanak
dokazuje matematicki a prost i vrlo kratak eksperiment demonstrira za
svakog da vidi kako neferomagnetni dipolarno formiran stap zauzima isti
pravac kao i magnetna igla obicnog magnetnog kompasa. Ali beogradska
naucna zajednica nije voljna da bude svedok takvoj demonstraciji odnosno
eksperimentu i da vidi naucnu istinu koju je sakrivala prosta
matematicka greska vec vekovima, da ponovim jos jedanput, a ta se greska
lako uklanja prigodnim pomeranjem koordinatnog pocetka geofizickog
koordinatnog sistema. A naucnici koji ne znaju osnove nauke ostaju
zauvek "ucene neznalice" ili diletanti - politikanti. Njihovo ekspertno
znanje moze biti i korisno u nekim slucajevima ali oni ozbiljno ometaju
napredak nauke svojim sustinskim neznanjem kao sto je to Jose Ortega y
Gasset mudro uocio.
Uteha je za beogradsku naucnu zajednicu da se citava internacionalna
zajednica ponasa gotovo isto. Ali vladajuca klasa internacionalne naucne
zajednice nije takva neznalica kao sto je izgleda srpska naucna
zajednica i njena vladajuca klasa. Vladajuca klasa internacionalne
naucne zajednice shvata, da ako se moje ideje dokazu eksperimentalno,
tada dve prihvacene i vrlo hvaljene teorije, naime, dinamo teorija
porekla Zemljinog magnetnog polja i opsta teorija relativiteta padaju
potpuno, dok kvantna mehanika mora da bude temeljito revidirana
izbacujuci logicno apsurdne "sub-elementarne cestice" kao sto su
kvarkovi, itd., a kao posledica, ogroman novac u bilonima (milijardama)
dolara koji kontrolise internacionalna naucna zajednica mora da bude
skrenut na korisnije projekte za covecanstvo a ne da se razbacuje na
apsurdne projekte pomenutih pogresnih teorija, sto se internacionalnoj
naucnoj zajednici nikako ne svidja.
Na kraju ovog Memoranduma mora da se ukaze da je samo jedan naucni
casopis, naime Journal of Theoretics, umesto da publikuje moj clanak,
koji Urednistvo tog casopisa hvali kako "izgleda fino", ali zbog duzine
moze samo da ga stavi na svoj Internet sajt sto je ucinjeno i bez moje
saglasnosti 13. oktobra 2003. godine, i clanak se jos uvek nalazi na
Internet adresi :
Na nesrecu, Journal of Theoretics je prestao sa publikovanjem nedavno,
ali napred navedeni Internet sajt na kome je moj clanak jos uvek
postoji. Journal of Theoretics bio je jedini zracak nade za pravo naucno
traganje za istinom koji sam ja sreo do sada. Mnoge cinjenice o mojim
naporima da publikujem moje naucne ideje i posledice koje sam pretrpeo u
toj borbi mogu se naci na mom Internet sajtu :
http://jovandjuric.tripod.com
Izgleda mi da ocevidna bolest srpske naucne zajednice odrazava duboku
bolest citavog srpskog drustva. Ciscenje srpskog drustva, koje je vec
odavno zakasnilo, trebalo bi po mom misljenju da pocne sa vrha, sa
ocajno nedovoljnim srpskim intelektualcima, koji nista nisu ucinili da
sprece tragicnu katastrofu srpskog naroda, koja se jos uvek nadvija nad
njim. Svi srpski vrhovni intelektualci trebalo bi da budu otpusteni sa
svojih uglavnom politicki dobijenih izbornih polozaja. U vezi sa tim,
jedan dogadjaj koji se desio meni moze da bude od interesa za istoriju.
U jesen 1992. godine sankcije su nametnute Srbiji, koja se tada jos uvek
zvala Jugoslavija, od strane Ujedinjenih Nacija ukljucujuci Sjedinjene
Americke Drzave cija Vlada je zaustavila isplatu moje penzije od
Americkog Federalnog socijalnog osiguranja zbog mog boravljenja u
Srbiji. Bio sam zacudjen tom odlukom posto sam ja i tada bio i jos uvek
sam naturalizovani gradjanin SAD, naravno poreklom Srbin. Nema sumnje da
zaustavljanje isplate moje federalne penzije predstavlja povredu mojih
prava zagarantovanih Ustavom SAD. Otisao sam u SAD da razresim taj
problem ali mi je receno na moje veliko cudjenje da ce moja penzija biti
isplacena samo ako ostanem u SAD. Uprkos te nezakonite odluke Vlade SAD,
vratio sam se u Beograd. Nekoliko dana posle mog povratka, moj
neidenticni brat blizanac Mihailo zamolio me je da odem do njegovog
prijatelja dr. Dejana Medakovica, tadasnjeg sekretara SANU da popravim
televizor dr. Medakovica ciji je ekran pocrveneo. Posto sam pregledao
televizor u stanu dr. Medakovica, dogovorili smo se da taj televizor
bude prenet u moj stan radi popravke. Ja imam mnoge instrumente
neophodne za popravku raznih elektronskih uredjaja a elektronika je moja
profesija i moj hobi od 1938. godine, i ja sam popravio mnoge
elektronske uredjaje mnogim beogradskim penzionerima bez placanja. Posle
tog dogovora, seli smo uz viski da malo popricamo. Rekao sam tada dr.
Medakovicu da ja vidim a to je ocevidno i za svakog da se katastrofa
nadvija nad srpskim narodom i da bi nesto trebalo da se preduzme da se
zaustavi Slobodan Milosevic cija politicka umesnost je ocevidno bila
nedovoljna kako je politicka situacija Srbije ukazivala, i da bi on, dr.
Medakovic sa svojim polozajem trebalo da ucini nesto. Ja sam vrlo
direktan u razgovorima, i antiteza sam politicaru. Ja uvek govorim celu
istinu ili nista, ukuliko bi istina mogla da me dovede u opasnost po
zivot. Dr. Medakovic mora da je shvatio moju sugestiju kao uvredu, pa se
i zalio mom bratu. On je otkazao nas dogovor i kupio je nov televizor.
Njegov stari televizor, koji je pocrveneo, nije nikad popravljen sa moje
strane. Dr. Medakovic je ignorisao moju sugestiju i nastavio je da se
bavi politikom, ili politikanstvom, pa je cak postao i predsednik SANU a
srpski narod jos uvek pati od tragicne katastrofe koja je mozda mogla da
bude izbegnuta da su clanovi SANU i ostali vrhunski srpski intelektualci
bili mudriji i sa mnogo vise moralne ostrine.
Politika je umetnost moguceg, da se citira definicija jednog vrlo
poznatog politicara. Zadatak politicara je da nekako harmonizuje vrlo,
vrlo divergentne interese pojedinaca u ljudskom drustvu, u kom procesu
istina i neistina, tj. laz, postaju tako rasplinuti da se gotovo ne mogu
razlikovati. Ovo je razlog da mnogi politicari koji drze cesto ogromnu
vlast, cesto podlegnu korupciji, jer, kao sto je rekao lord Acton :
"Vlast korumpira, a apsolutna vlast korumpira apsolutno". S druge
strane, nauka je traganje za istinom i odnosima izmedju nezivih
predmeta. Naucna istina se smatra apsolutnom sve dok nas novootkrivene
cinjenice ne primoraju da tu istinu preinacimo ili potpuno napustimo.
Politika je apsolutno nedopustiva u nauci jer ne moze biti nikakvog
kompromisa izmedju "tacno je" i "nije tacno" u rezultatu naucnog
eksperimenta, mada "princip neodredjenosti" muti tu sliku u
mikrokosmosu, u kom podrucju neodredjenost je zastrasujuca sa nasim
sadasnjim znanjem ili mozda bolje receno sa nasim sadasnjim neznanjem i
sa sadasnjim stanjem nasih instrumenata. Ipak slobodna diskusija svih
logicnih naucnih ideja mora biti osigurana, sto, na nesrecu, nije vise
tacno otkako je politika tako siroko usla u nauku na pocetku i posle
Drugog svetskog rata. I neke naucne ideje su totalno supresirane kao i u
politici totalitarnih rezima, sto sam ja susretao sa mojom teorijom
jedinstvenog polja za poslednjih pola veka. Ali da se supresira
demonstracija jednog vrlo prostog i kratkog eksperimenta kao sto sam ja
doziveo u beogradskoj naucnoj zajednici i drugde u svetu je krajnji znak
neznanja, arogancije i ludosti vladajuce naucne klase danasnjice, i vi,
profesore Bozicu i Matematicki institut kao i ostale cetiri gorepomenute
beogradske naucne institucije predstavljate jadne primere politikantizma
i diletantizma u nauci. Kakva zalost!! Kakva sramota!!
Ovaj Memorandum postavljen je na moj gorepomenuti Internet sajt kao
dokument za istoriju nesumnjivo najtezeg perioda srpskog naroda do sada,
a verovatno takodje ako ne najtezeg onda sigurno veoma teskog perioda u
istoriji nauke. Adresa mog Internet sajta je, da ponovim :

Abstract
A
gravitational experiment is described which shows that the dipolar rod-like or
needle-like mass test object made of the non-ferromagnetic material pivoted at
its presumed center of mass in the gravitational field of the Earth assumes as
the balance position the direction in the horizontal plane which is identical to
the direction of the magnetic needle of an ordinary magnetic compass at that
location, which obviously proves that the conventional Earth's magnetic field is
connected with the Earth's gravitation and appears to be a manifestation of that
gravitation. The photographs of that gravitational experiment are attached to
this paper.
The gravitational field of the Earth is an old
established subject firmly based on the experiments of Galileo and Newton's theory of gravitation with many subsequent
experiments. It must be noted that the experiments with gravity, i.e.
gravitation, were done using a small mass ball, the legendary apple, small
enough compared to the Earth, so that it can be treated approximately as a mass
point. But the gravitational experiments with the asymmetrical mass objects, the
dipolar structures pivoted in the Earth's gravitational field were not analyzed
thoroughly so far, either experimentally or theoretically. They lead to some
very interesting results, one of which will be described in details in this
paper. Also, it should be mentioned here that the experiments with the pivoted
gravitational dipolar mass structures made of the non-ferromagnetic materials in
the conventional magnetic fields created by the electrical currents and in the
inevitable Earth's gravitational field lead also to some very interesting
results, which will be the subject of a separate paper.
This author
has performed since 2002 in the tightly closed, avoiding any air movement,
living room in his apartment on the 4th floor of a high-rise
apartment building in the very steep portion of the Balkanska Street in
Belgrade, Serbia, just below the Terazije plateau, the center of the old
Belgrade, a large number of experiments with the various gravitational dipolar
mass structures made strictly of the non-ferromagnetic materials appropriately
pivoted in the Earth's gravitational field. Friction was a very serious problem
in all those experiments. One such experiment, which was repeated many times,
will be described here in all details with the photographs as the documents of
that experiment.
A gravitational dipolar needle (or rod), a g.d. needle
for short, is defined as an elongated mass object with the non uniform mass
distribution along its length, with more mass at one end compared to the other
end, so that its center of self-gravity and its center of mass are clearly apart
as much as possible, made strictly of any non-ferromagnetic material, like
bronze, aluminum, etc. The g.d. needle used in this particular experiment was
cut from the precisely rolled bronze sheet 0.2 mm thick, in the form of a very
elongated trapezoid with one side 12.5 mm, the other side 3.7 mm and the length
107 mm and the total mass 1.3 grams with the obvious non uniform mass
distribution along its length. Many similar needles were also used.
For pivoting of the above described g.d. needle, a
pedestal was made of aluminum by high precision machine in the form of a
precision rectangular parallelepiped with the rectangular base 15 mm x 16 mm and
the height 20 mm. To one vertical side of that aluminum parallelepiped a bronze
cylinder of the length 35 mm and diameter 2.8 mm was attached by the 3 mm
standard machine screw and the appropriate bracket in the strict vertical
direction. Into the upper end of that vertical bronze cylinder the axle of the
balance wheel of a small watch was set on a high precision small lathe
coaxially. The tip of that balance wheel axle has the diameter of about 75
microns, with its top end in the form of a somewhat irregular calotte as
observed microscopically, and the tip of that calotte is the pivot point of that
aluminum pedestal, whose total mass is 13.2 grams.
On the top of a small wooden table with four legs
placed in parallel with the walls of the living room, whose flat square top was
checked and adjusted by the level instrument, the rectangular aluminum rolled
flat plate of the thickness 1.2 mm and the sides 182 mm and 333 mm was placed
and properly electrically grounded with the standard alligator clip and the
appropriate wire. The above described aluminum pedestal was placed at the middle
of that aluminum plate with a German made magnetic compass at one side. The
above defined g.d. needle was slightly curved downwards to set its center of
mass slightly below the intended pivot point. When that curved g.d. needle was
placed on the flat horizontal plane, its apex-height was measured about 4 mm.
That curvature of the g.d. needle is essential for stability and the possibility
to place that g.d. needle without any bearing on the pivot point of the
described aluminum pedestal, so to assume the horizontal position and free to
turn. Note that the g.d. needle was cut from the precisely rolled bronze sheet
with the very smooth surface without any scratch whatsoever. It is obvious that
an appropriate dent on that g.d. needle would be helpful for the placement of
that g.d. needle on the pivot point, but it was found experimentally that any
such dent introduced extra friction and rendered such a g.d. needle useless for
this experiment. The ruby bearings as used in the watch industry and the
manufacture of the ordinary magnetic compasses were also tried to attach them on
the g.d. needle, but since those rubies are electrical insulators, the
inevitable electrical charge interfered, making the desired experiment
impossible. So, it was decided to try to place the above defined bare g.d.
needle without any mark or bearing on the pivot point of the pedestal so to
assume the horizontal position and to be able to turn freely, and grounding that
g.d. needle electrically by that procedure. That task to place the described
bare g.d. needle on the described pivot point looked at first almost impossible,
but it was done after a great deal of patience and trials, and a great deal of
time. It should be mentioned that oiling was tried to reduce friction, but found
counterproductive.
It was very interesting to watch the turning and
trembling of the g.d. needle when it was placed on the pivot point in the
horizontal position and free to turn. The turning of that g.d. needle was quite
slow, and when it was over, it was observed that the direction of that g.d.
needle was identical to the direction of the magnetic needle of the magnetic
compass nearby, with the sharper and longer end of that g.d. needle pointing
towards the magnetic North, and the obtuse shorter portion of that g.d. needle
pointing towards the magnetic South. It was observed that the g.d. needle
turning depended on the way how the placement of the g.d. needle on the pivot
point was done. If the placement was done so that no angular momentum whatsoever
was imparted to the g.d. needle, so that its turning began with the zero initial
angular velocity practically then the turning was quite slow to start and ended
when the balance NS direction was reached without any overshoot of that NS
direction. The turning was clockwise if initially during the placement the sharp
end of the g.d. needle was towards the West, but counterclockwise if initially
the sharper end was towards the East. The placement without imparting any
angular momentum to the g.d. needle was much more difficult to obtain than the
placement when unintentionally the very slight initial angular momentum was
imparted to the g.d. needle, in which case the turning started immediately after
the successful placement and was swifter and usually overshot the magnetic NS
direction and stopped, and then returned quite slowly to the balance NS
direction, occasionally with the additional very slight overshoot. The time of
the turning of the g.d. needle to reach balance position, i.e., the NS
direction, varied quite obviously from day to day in the repeated experiments
depending on temperature and humidity which probably changed friction at the
pivot point. The very slight occasional trembling of the building due to the
traffic also influenced friction. On the average, the time was roughly about 30
seconds but not infrequently longer, even up to few minutes. It must be
mentioned that once the g.d. needle reached the balance magnetic NS direction,
it remained in that position indefinitely, even for hours, until some even
slight air movement or occasional building trembling due to various causes
induced the g.d. needle to drop. These repeated experiments required the extreme
patience and a great deal of time, but they yielded the almost incredible but
inexorable conclusion that the Earth's gravitational field, which obviously
determined the movement of the g.d. needle, is connected obviously with the
conventional Earth's magnetic field, which appears to be a manifestation of the
Earth's gravitational field.
As the check of the verticality of the vertical bronze
cylinder with the pivot point, this author holding breath and extremely slowly
turned by sliding the pedestal with the g.d. needle on the pivot point in the
balance position (the magnetic NS direction) plus and minus 90 degrees. It was
observed during that turning of the aluminum pedestal that the g.d. needle
trembled and turned somewhat, but remained within +- 10 degrees around the
magnetic NS direction, which shows that the accuracy of the vertical line of the
pivot is reasonable, if not ideally exact. In the ideal case, the g.d. needle
would not turn at all with the turning of the pedestal carrying that g.d.
needle. Friction was probably responsible for slight turning and trembling of
the g.d. needle when the pedestal was being turned.
The above described experiment was repeated recently
for the purpose of taking photographs. The photographs of that g.d. needle in
the balance position (the magnetic NS direction) as shown by the nearby magnetic
compass were taken with the digital camera by Mr. Miroljub Simic, professional
photographer and iconographer, Vukasoviceva 58, 11090 Belgrade, Serbia, who
observed the entire experiment. Two of those photographs are attached to this
paper. A lying slimmer g.d. needle of 0.9 grams is observed on the first
photograph, whose placement on the pivot point is very, very much more
difficult. It yielded the similar results as the used more massive g.d. needle
of 1.3 grams.
It is obvious from the above descriptions that these
experiments cannot be performed before an audience in public for demonstration
and for the measurements in the field. This author was glad to learn from a
young electronic engineer Mr. Andrija Radovic, Nike Strugara 13a, 11030 Belgrade, Serbia that a young Sebian mechanical technician from Sremski Karlovci, Serbia Mr. Nebojsa Kovacevic (e-mail: morfeus@eunet.rs)
constructed and assembled an apparatus with the magnetically levitating vertical
axle which rotates without any friction whatsoever carrying even up to 600
grams, and is insensitive to any externally applied conventional magnetic field.
Mr. Kovacevic used that apparatus for monitoring the slight variations of the
direction of the conventional Earth's magnetic field by attaching the ordinary
magnetic needle from a magnetic compass to the vertical axle of that apparatus.
This author told Mr. Radovic that such an apparatus could be very useful to
perform rather swiftly and conveniently the experiments as described above. Mr.
Radovic tried that with Mr. Kovacevic in Sremski Karlovci, but Mr. Radovic told
this author that they obtained some strange results. So Mr. Kovacevic brought
his apparatus for demonstration in the above mentioned apartment of Mr. Radovic,
and this author was present there for demonstration and experiment on November
28, 2005. Mr. Radovic was trying to
attach a wooden rod of about 150 mm length with the square cross section about 6
mm x 6 mm, and on both ends of that wooden rod two extra wooden pieces were
attached. This author told them that one extra wooden piece from one side must
be removed, which was done and such wooden rod, the gravitational dipolar rod
clearly asymmetrical as defined above in this paper, was attached to be
horizontal to the vertical axle of the apparatus of Mr. Kovacevic. After a few
oscillations that wooden rod assumed the magnetic NS direction in the horizontal
plane as shown by a nearby magnetic compass with the attached wooden piece
pointing towards the magnetic South. This author fully expected that result in
view of many experiments which this author performed in his apartment since
2002. This author never saw that apparatus or Mr. Kovacevic again, but by
telephone this author suggested various checks, which Mr. Kovacevic preformed
with the expected positive results as he told this author by telephone. This
author considers that the apparatus of Mr. Kovacevic is very useful for the
public demonstrations and also for the measurements as described above in this
paper and elsewhere by this author, although the results obtained by that
apparatus may not be fully convincing to some skeptical scientists without the
basic experiments of this author as described above in this paper. Mr. Kovacevic
has presented his apparatus on the Internet. He sent this author via e-mail two
photographs of that apparatus and the schematic diagram which are attached here
with this paper for anybody who is interested to make a replica, which can be
done by anybody competent in electronics and mechanics.
The explanation of the obvious mechanical torque
experimentally detected by the above described experiments at two locations in
Belgrade about 6.4 km air distance apart acting upon the pivoted dipolar
non-ferromagnetic mass test needle-rod, i.e., the presence of the obvious
horizontal component of the force, i.e. torque acting upon that pivoted test
mass object, cannot be found in the presently accepted classical Newton's theory
of gravity, i.e. gravitation. The International Gravity Formula defines only the
vertical component of the force acting upon a test mass. However, this author
has discovered a centuries long mathematical error in the very foundation of
physics, whose correction can resolve this problem strictly within the classical
Newtonian mechanics. Namely, the coordinate origin of the presently used
geophysical coordinate system is defined to coincide with the center of mass of
the Earth. But if such a coordinate system is used in the development of the
gravitational potential of the Earth in the Taylor series at the coordinate origin, then by definition
the second dipolar term in that Taylor series is zero. That is a very serious problem and the
serious violation of the theory of approximation. Unless further terms in the
Taylor series are used, the approximation is poor and inadequate when the
variation of the gravitational field around one point is considered, since the
dipolar term was dropped without any justification. But that problem is readily
resolved if the coordinate origin of the presently used geophysical coordinate
system is moved from the center of mass of the Earth to the center of
self-gravity of the Earth. The center of self-gravity of a mass distribution is
defined as the point normally within that mass distribution at which the
gravitational field of that mass distribution is zero. The center of mass of a
mass distribution is the point with respect to which the mass moment of that
mass distribution is zero. These two points are unique and quite different, and
invariant if the mass distribution is invariant. These two points coincide only
in the case of a mass distribution which is absolutely symmetrical, and such a
celestial body is never found in nature. The lack of distinction of these two
points as quite different is the perennial, centuries long error in the very
foundation of physics which propagates through physics up to now. These two
points are misunderstood, often considered as one point in the literature so
far, which is totally wrong. In fact the center of mass of a mass distribution
is strictly only a mathematically defined point, which can never be exactly
determined or measured experimentally, not even in principle, except
approximately, since for its exact experimental determination, a strictly
uniform, constant gravitational field is necessary, which extends
infinitely through the space, and such a gravitational field does not exist in
nature. So the center of mass is strictly a mathematical point. On the other
hand, the center of self-gravity (or gravitation) of a mass distribution can be
always exactly determined experimentally, at least in principle, and it
is the point with respect to which all gravitational measurements should
and must be referred.
Using the center of self-gravity of the Earth as the
coordinate origin of the geophysical coordinate system the approximate Earth's
gravity formula must contain not only the monopolar term and the centrifugal
term, but also the additional dipolar term, which was erroneously dropped so far
in the literature due to erroneous choice of the geophysical coordinate system
so far. In that dipolar term, the intrinsic mass dipolar moment of the Earth is
calculated with respect to the center ofself-gravity
of the Earth. With such a corrected Earth's gravity formula, it is easy to show
by applying strictly the rules and the laws of the classical Newtonian
mechanics, that the pivoted dipolar mass test object, which is
non-.ferromagnetic, is subjected to the torque which is the vector product of
the intrinsic mass dipolar moment of the Earth and the intrinsic mass dipolar
moment of the pivoted dipolar mass test object, with, of course, the appropriate
factor. Considering further all experimentally measured results and facts from
geomagnetism, it is concluded that the Earth's large scale magnetic field, and
the large scale magnetic field of any celestial body is a manifestation of
gravitation. It appears that the dipolar intrinsic mass moment of a celestial
body is indeed the magnetic moment of that body with the appropriate factor. All
mathematical details and reference to the numerous experimental facts concerning
this problem can be found in the paper by this author "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" on the Internet Site of The Journal of
Theoretics
This author wishes to express his sincere thanks to Mr.
Zivadin Markovic, an expert precision mechanic - watchmaker and economist,
Studentska 39, 11070 Belgrade, Serbia whose assistance in supplying various watch parts and
necessary precision works in the above described experiment is greatly
appreciated. The assistance of Mr. Miroljub Simic, professional photographer and
iconographer, Vukasoviceva 58, 11090 Belgrade, Serbia is also greatly appreciated with the sincere thanks.

Dear Professor Oquist,
On August 15, 2006 I e-mailed my completely rewritten paper entitled
"EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION" with the
photographs of the experiments to Dr. Waeppling, Editor, Physica Scripta. I
received recently the following e-mail letter:
I am afraid that your paper on magnetism and gravitation is still unsuitable
for publication and will remain so not matter how many revisions you make.
Yours sincerely,
Roger Wappling
Executive Editor
Physica Scripta
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Box 50005
SE-10405 STOCKHOLM, Sweden
I am emailing to you herewith the PDF format of that paper with the simple
description of my experiments, which can be repeated by any qualified
physicist and easily verified here in Belgrade by any properly educated
person. But Dr. Waeppling, acting apparently in the name of The Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences chose as the Inquisitors of the Roman Catholic Church did
over four hundred years ago to disregard the logical arguments and the
experimental facts. The Inquisitors opposed deadly Kopernik's idea (Kopernik
was a Pole, i.e., a Slav) to move the coordinate origin from the Earth, the
geocentric system, to the Sun, the heliocentric system. But the modern
Inquisitors oppose deadly my idea (I am a Serb by birth, i.e. a Slav, but
truly a citizen of the USA and the World) to move the origin of the presently
used geophysical coordinate system from the center of mass of the Earth, which
is the erroneous position, to the center of self-gravity of the Earth, which
is logically, mathematically and experimentally the correct position.
This is the error which I discovered in the very foundation of physics, which
for centuries concealed the almost incredible fact that magnetism is a
manifestation of gravitation. But the power holding scientists, who are
spending enormous amounts of money on the research about the logically
absurd quarks, which research is absolutely unnecessary in view of my
discovery, and also on the research that the inner core of the Earth is
turning a bit faster, namely "over a period of 700 to 1,200 years, the
inner core of the Earth appears to make one full extra spin" (of course,
the Earth is turning 360 degrees, i.e., one full spin per day), the research
which is absurd and totally unnecessary in view of my discovery, those power
holding scientists united in teams are deadly against my ideas in order to
preserve their reputations, power and money. They have abandoned even the
pretense of the search for truth, as Dr. Waeppling's letter of September 6,
2006 to me clearly demonstrates. They totally disregard even the experimental
facts.
I believe that you should be acquainted with these facts. Thank you very much
for attention to this letter.

Dear Professor Eckern,
In your letter of April 5, 2006 you rejected my paper "EXPERIMENTAL
CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION" stating that you do not agree
that "any conclusion about the connection of gravitation and magnetism can
be drawn". There is no doubt whatsoever that the conventional magnetic
fields are created by the moving electrical charges, i.e. the electrical
currents as you stated, but it appears that you misunderstood my paper.
The old version of my paper omitted for the sake of shortness almost all details
about my experiments, which may have resulted in misunderstanding. I hereby
submit for possible publication in your Journal Annalen der Physik the
completely revised version of my paper "EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF
MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION" in PDF format with all details of my
experiments showing the obvious connection of the Earth's gravitational field
and the conventional Earth's magnetic field with the attached photographs as
documents.
Thank you for your attention to this letter and your cooperation.

EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION

Subject: Annalen ue481, by J. Djuric
Dear Professor Eckern,
On August 15, 2006 I emailed to you my completely rewritten paper
"EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION" with the
photographs of my experiments. I have received so far no response from you. I
enclose herewith once more the PDF format of my revised paper.
The following quotation from the well-known book "Menschliches,
Allzumenschliches" ("Human, All Too Human") by the great, but
often misunderstood philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is very interesting : "Ueberzeugungen
sind gefaehrlichere Feinde der Wahrheit, als Luegen." ("Convictions
are more dangerous enemies to truth, than lies.") As you state in your
letter to me of April 5, 2006 you completely agree "that in principle the
earth is not a perfect sphere, and hence that corrections due to this fact
should be considered". This fact means that the Earth's gravity must be
approximated not only by a gravitational monopole, as is in the inadequate
International Gravity Formula, but also by the additional gravitational
dipole in the first approximation. But the Earth's gravitational dipole
interacts with the mass dipole as my experiments clearly show, which experiments
confirm my theoretical analysis. And those facts with many facts from
geomagnetism lead inexorably to the conclusion that planetary magnetism is a
manifestation of gravitation, which fact was concealed for centuries by the
rather simple mathematical error which I found in the very foundation of
physics. Against this truth which I discovered, no logical argument was ever
offered by anybody so far except for convictions of the undeniable facts that
"magnetic fields are created, for example, by moving charges",
disregarding even the experimental facts as shown in my paper. Nietzsche was so
deadly accurate as this example shows.
As you probably know, your colleague, Professor Friedrich Hehl, co-editor,
Annalen Der Physik rejected my paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF
GRAVITATION" stating that "Newton's theory of gravity is no longer a
valid starting point for developing new physical theories". But I am not
developing any new theory in my last two papers, in which I am applying strictly
the classical Newton's theory of gravitation, or gravity for short. My last two
papers contain only the strict mathematical application of that theory which was
erroneously applied so far by choosing the center of mass of the Earth as the
coordinate origin of the geophysical coordinate system, rather than the center
of self-gravity of the Earth. My discovery of this error in the very foundation
of physics makes the research about the logically absurd sub-elementary
particles - quarks absolutely unnecessary and absurd logically. Heisenberg and
many other physicist opposed the quark hypothesis. Also, the research that
"over a period of 700 to 1,200 years, the inner core of the Earth appears
to make one full extra spin" (compared to normal one spin per day), that
research is absurd and totally unnecessary in view of my discovery. But the big
teams of the powerful scientists with enormous funds are employed to do research
in those fields, while I am alone without any support. ONE MUST WONDER WHETHER
TRUTHS ARE DECREED AND PROCLAIMED BY THE MAJORITY VOTES !?! Convictions are
more dangerous enemies to truth, than lies, says Nietzsche quite accurately.
But I must add that the powerful scientists, i.e., politikants (politikant is
a disparaging word in Serbian for a politician) with enormous amounts of money
acting as teams are the absolute enemies to truth in science.
I hope that you will consider this letter carefully since I hope that you may
help in my search for truth. And together, there is nothing that we can lose
except our ignorance and our dogmatic bigotry. But we could, perhaps, reach
TRUTH.

Dear Dr Djuric
Thank you for your letter asking us to reconsider our decision on your
manuscript entitled "EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH
GRAVITATION". We are sorry to have to tell you that we do not feel able to
reverse our original decision.
We recognise that it can often be valuable to advance new hypotheses and
speculate on what they might mean, but the pressure on our space is such that we
must look for more definitive contributions to understanding, with quantitative
data firmly supporting the claims made. We accordingly continue to feel that
your paper does not provide the sort of firm advance in understanding that would
warrant publication in Nature Physics.
We are sorry that our final decision must be negative.

state that my paper "does not provide the sort of firm advance in

As far as I know, nobody so far has ever suggested that a non-ferromagnetic
gravitational dipolar needle can act as a needle of an ordinary magnetic
compass. But my paper describes my experiments in details, and they, the
experiments, can be repeated by any competent physicist and verified here in
Belgrade by any properly educated person. But you do not want even to think
about any check or verification of truth. It appears, therefore, that you have
abandoned the search for truth in favor of expedient politics. Or, perhaps, you
may reconsider your decision in favor of the search for truth ?!
Dear Dr Djuric
Thank you for your letter of 20 September, regarding your manuscript,

Dear Dr. Djuric:
I am writing in reference to your manuscript ``Experimental connection
of magnetism with gravitation'' (LS10785D).
In this paper you describe an experiment that you carried out, from
which you conclude that there is a connection betweeen gravitation and
magnetism. The analysis of the experiment; the steps taken to
eliminate effects from other, more conventional sources; and the
discussion of errors and backgrounds are far below the standards
required for publication in Physical Review. Furthermore, your
analysis is based on the assertion that the center of gravity and
center of mass of an object need no coincide. Although, strictly
speaking, this can be true when one takes into account the variation
in distance from the center of the Earth, the effect is far too small
to be measurable in your experiments.
I regret to inform you that, in view of the above, we cannot accept
your manuscript for publication in Physical Review D.

Dear Dr. Weinberg:
Your letter of September 3, 2006 rejecting my paper "Experimental
connection of magnetism with gravitation" is your opinion, not of any of
your referees as I see, that my paper is "far below the standards required
for publication in Physical Review". I performed my experiments with the
utmost care, and my results can be very easily verified by any properly educated
person here in Belgrade, or repeated by any competent physicist. You allow that
the center of gravity and the center of mass of the Earth may not coincide, but
you state that "the effect is far too small to be measurable in your
experiments". The results of my experiments are stated clearly in my paper
and they can be verified easily to repeat once more.
You are certainly entitled to your rather disparaging opinion in only general
terms without any specific argument against my paper, which reflects your
culture, or lack of it. But you should be a shamed to imply with your above
stated statement that I am telling lies in my paper about obtained experimental
results, which you deny by simple words. You do not want even to pretend that
you and the Journal which you edit are in search for truth. Politics has entered
science unfortunately with money, power and corruption for all.

Thank you for sending us your manuscript. I and several Associate Editors have examined

Dear Dr. Viccaro,
Thank you for your letter of October 17, 2006. I beg to disagree with
your colleagues and yourself, that my paper "EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF
MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION" does not belongs to your Journal. As a
matter of fact, that paper represents strictly the experimental
application of the ideas in my truly theoretical paper "MAGNETISM AS
MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" which is in a way published by the Journal
of Theoretics. Since my said paper is truly the application of a
physical idea, I strongly believe that it can be published by any
physics journal, including your Journal of Applied Physics.
As you probably remember, my theoretical paper was rejected by all
physics journals, except Journal of Theoretics, without any opinion or
argument, except for the Annalen der Physik which rejected my
theoretical paper dogmatically, claiming strangely that "Newton's theory
of gravity is no longer a valid starting point for developing new
physical theories" for almost the problem of statics as discussed in my
paper.
I hope that you will allow my submitted paper to be appraised by your
referees including the referees which I mentioned in my submission of my
experimental paper. I believe that this action of yours will be in the
best interest in the search for truth in science.
Thank you very much for your attention to this letter and your cooperation.

I should like to remind you that mathematics and all arguments in my

Thank you for your e-mail and continued interest in publishing in the
Journal of Applied Physics. We did make a careful evaluation of your
submission before coming to the decision. The Journal has a well defined
mission as a scientific journal. We focus on the physics related to applied

yours qualifies.
I realize that you are having difficulty with your work in journals I feel
are more suitable for the subject. It is clear that the topic is polemic
and perhaps out of the mainstream of current thought. I can appreciate
that, because of this, you may encounter difficulties in getting what you

I wish the Journal could be of more help, but it can't. The subject of your

Dear Dr. Szuromi:
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail letter to me of October 23,
2006 telling me that my paper EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH
GRAVITATION "is not the sort of work we publish". This is my
response after a very careful consideration.
Your rejection of my paper is direct and absolute without giving any opinion,
not even pretending to excuse your action, while, for instance, the Journal of
Applied Physics almost at the same time on October 24, 2006 attempted to
excuse its rejection by stating that "the Journal (of Applied Physics)
" has a well defined mission as a scientific journal. We focus on
the physics related to applied issues". That Editor disqualifies my paper
as inappropriate without giving any reason whatsoever, i.e., dogmatically,
except that my paper "is out of the mainstream of current thought".
It would take too much space to mention all the major scientific physics
journals rejecting without any opinion or argument whatsoever my paper
EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION and my related
theoretical paper MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION, which paper is
the strict and correct application of the classical Newton's theory of
gravitation with the correction of a centuries old serious error in the
very foundation of physics.The scientific community is obviously
emotionally disturbed by my discovery of that serious error in the very
foundation of physics, and is apparently unable to acknowledge it, because of
the very serious consequences for the entire science, particularly physics and
astronomy, and the consequential losses of the enormous contracted money and
reputations. The scientific community appears to behave as the Inquisitors of
the Roman Catholic Church 400 years ago, and as the proverbial (but not a
real) ostrich hiding its head in the sand before a danger.
The rejection of a submitted paper is the discretionary right of the editor of
a scientific journal. But a truly responsible editor must obtain the qualified
opinions of a number of referees, particularly when the submitted paper deals
with a controversial issue. The rejection of a controversial paper without any
opinion or argument represents in some cases not only the total abandonment of
the search for truth in science, but also in some cases the criminal
conspiracy on the part of an editor, who by preventing the publication of a
controversial paper with some serious arguments, helps many researchers to
continue their useless contracts, thus squandering the enormous public funds
paid by the taxpayers.
On the basis of my theoretical and experimental results, I believe, and I have
no reason whatsoever for any doubt about the correctness of my views, that
spending public funds on the research about quarks, gravitational waves with
the theory of relativity, the presumed "faster" turning of the inner
core of the Earth compared to the Earth's surface at the rate of one turn per
about 700 - 1200 years, the dynamo theory of the origin of the Earth's
magnetic field, etc., etc., represents the criminal squandering of the public
money which is made possible by suppressing the publication of my discovered
scientific facts without any opinion by any referees so far.
It is amazing that the Journal SCIENCE, which is published by the American
Association for the Advancement of Science prevented the publication of my
ideas without giving any opinion whatsoever, but only stating that "it is
not the sort of work we publish". The Journal SCIENCE and the AAAS are
acting against me and my theory apparently almost like the Inquisitors of the
Roman Catholic Church 400 years ago prohibiting the heliocentric theory of
Kopernik. It is even more amazing that Kopernik's theory and my theory are
similar to some extent, and consist in the correct choice of the origin of the
appropriate coordinate system of reference and observation, and that both
Kopernik and myself are the Slavs, i.e., the members of a "lower"
race in the opinion of some members of the "superior" race of the
"Uebermenschen" and the "chosen people". And the American
Association for the Advancement of Science appears to have become the American
Association for the STAGNATION of Science. Is that a permanent situation, or
is there a possibility for a change ?!
I think that it is possible to accelerate electrons above the speed of light,
to control FUSION by the application of centrifugal acceleration, and to take
into account the obvious feedback of the planets upon the Sun, whose mass
moment, i.e., magnetic moment created by the gravitational pulls of the
planets, particularly Jupiter, is mainly responsible for the precession of the
perihelion of the planet Mercury as well as the solar cycle, etc., etc., .
But I was prevented to try all those ideas by the scientific community so far
by preventing the publication of my fundamental papers and my ideas for almost
half a century. Without the publications I never obtained any necessary funds
for such experimental research. Any interested person can find my papers and
learn more about struggles in my life by visiting my Internet Site
I end this letter by quoting a famous but often misunderstood German
philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche from his book MENSCHLICHES, ALLZUMENSCHLICHES
(HUMAN, ALL TOO HUMAN) : "Ueberzeugungen sind gefaehrlichere Feinde der
Wahrheit, als Luegen." ("Convictions are more dangerous enemies to
truth, than lies.") But, the teams of researchers following uncritically
the "accepted" theories with the enormous public funds to spend or
squander are the absolute enemies to truth in science, and the editors of the
scientific journals supporting them by preventing the publication of opposing
views are their co-conspirators. Finally, another quotation of the
distinguished Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset from his book THE
REVOLT OF THE MASSES, who after criticizing very sharply the barbarism of
specialization and the scientists - narrow specialists, i.e., "learned
ignoramuses", states : "But Einstein is not sufficient. Physics is
entering on the gravest crisis of its history, and can only be saved by a new
"Encyclopaedia" more systematic than the first." But the
editors of the scientific journals prevented so far the publication of my
papers, particularly the correction of an obvious centuries old serious error
in the very foundation of physics, as well as the publication of my unified
field theory.

Subject: Memorandum of November 6, 2006
Dear Senator Bingaman:
I am the naturalized citizen of the USA, Serb by birth, and the retired former Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where is my domicile. All my assets are at the Albuquerque Office of the Bank of America and the US Treasury.
On November 6, 2006 I wrote a memorandum to the Editor of the scientific journal SCIENCE, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, concerning the prolonged and unfair rejections of my scientific papers by all scientific journals in the USA and Europe to which my papers were submitted WITHOUT ANY REPORTS BY THE REFEREES WHATSOEVER, i.e., DOGMATICALLY, except for one incredibly stupid and absurd statement by the Co-editor of the Annalen der Physik Professor F.W.Hehl, University of Koeln, Germany, obviously a stubborn and noncritical relativist, that "Newton's theory of gravity is no longer a valid starting point for developing new physical theories. One has to take care of the relativity principle and to study then Einstein's theory right from the beginning." But Professor Hehl is totally wrong, since my theoretical paper is only the strict and CORRECT application of Newton's theory of gravity with the elimination of a very serious, centuries old error in the very foundation to a problem of very low velocity for which Newton's theory of gravity is obviously valid.
I discovered a serious, centuries old error in the very foundation of physics, namely, the total misunderstanding and confusion about the center of mass and the center of self-gravity of a celestial body and any particle, including the elementary ones. With the strict and CORRECT geophysical coordinate system with its origin at the center of self-gravity of the Earth, not the center of mass of the Earth as erroneously used for centuries up to now, it is shown in my theoretical paper and confirmed by my experiments that MAGNETISM IS THE MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION. That physical fact necessitates the total and meticulous re-examination and appropriate correction of the entire science, particularly physics and astronomy, and renders many "accepted" theories of physics absurd, unnecessary and obsolete, particularly the theories of relativity which obstructed the progress of science so far. This is the true reason for the rejections of my papers, and the editors of the scientific journals have become reactionaries trying to retain their powers, reputations and research moneys by suppressing TRUTH, just like the Inquisitors of the Roman Catholic Church four centuries ago.
I enclose herewith the photocopy of a letter about my theory by my colleague Dr. Richard H. Williams, Professor Emeritus of EECS, The University of New Mexico, who recognized long time ago that my "(his) theory of unified fields is quite unique, and if correct, its ramifications are revolutionary". The photocopy of that letter is enclosed herewith, but in case of difficulties to receive it, you can find it on my Internet site http://jovandjuric.tripod.com
Professor Williams wrote that letter in 1999 when I was in Albuquerque trying to obtain financial support for some experiments. The simple shift of the coordinate origin of the geophysical coordinate system of the Earth to the center of self-gravity of the Earth, as was done in my paper from its erroneous position at the center of mass of the Earth is essentially similar to the Kopernik's revolution as Kant dubbed it from the geocentric to the heliocentric system, and that simple shift appears to be revolutionary with many consequences. My unified field theory was controversial and not published when I was teaching at the UNM. Because of that theory I was ridiculously labeled as anti-Semite, which is an insult for me. My theory contradicts the theories of relativity.
Unable to find the e-mail address of the Speaker of the House, I asked the US Embassy in Belgrade to forward my said memorandum, but they informed me on November 14, 2006 that it must be done through your Office. Please forward the enclosed copy of my memorandum of November 6, 2006 to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Thank you very much. I hope to obtain the financial support for my further experiments and research, and also possibly to assist in stopping the useless research based on some erroneous theories wasting and squandering billions of dollars paid by the US taxpayers. I can demonstrate and prove my discovery experimentally before any audience that magnetism is a manifestation of gravitation.
Mr. Garry Vaughn is kindly asked to forward the copy of this e-mail letter with all enclosed documents to the Editorial Board of the UNM Students newspaper New Mexico Daily Lobo and to the Editor of the Albuquerque Journal. Many thanks for this assistance.
Thank you very much for your attention to this letter and your cooperation.

. Further experiments are necessary to
obtain its correct average value. The origin of the conventional
large-scale magnetic fields of the celestial bodies, planets, Sun
and stars is explained on the basis of the first moment of the
mass distribution with respect to the
center of gravity, which center is defined as the
point at which the self-gravity is zero. The center of gravity
and the center of mass never coincide, except in the case of the
perfect symmetry, which never occurs in nature for the real
celestial bodies. It is pointed out that the inappropriate choice
of the center of mass for the coordinate origin for the planet Earth led to the
inadequate International Gravity Formula with the so far inexplicable gravity
anomalies. These gravity anomalies can be accounted for at least
partially by the additional dipolar term in that Gravity Formula.
The paper points out at many phenomena which fit naturally within
this unified field theory, such as geomagnetic field reversal,
disturbances and variations due to the influences of the Moon,
Sun, all planets, continental drift, earthquakes, etc. The solar
cycle and the sunspots can be easily accounted for by the
gravitational pulls of the revolving planets, among which Jupiter
predominates by far. Further research in many directions is
necessary, including levitation by very strong magnetic fields particularly, whose results were
reported rather recently. It is emphasized that the proper choice
of the coordinate system for the planet Earth is of the paramount
importance for further geophysical measurements, so that the
instantaneous time varying vertical plumb lines and all
measurements can be referred to that global coordinate system. It is pointed out that this unified
gravito-electromagnetic field
theory is purely mathematically valid for any velocity. In that respect, an
experiment is described for the attempt to accelerate electrons above the speed
of light, which appears to be possible on the basis of the described provisional
model of the self-gravitationally stabilized electrical charge as derived from
this unified field theory. This
tentative model of the elementary electrical charge - electron shows that within
this unified field theory all elementary particles, including neutrons, must
possess the intrinsic magnetic dipole moments, i.e., the intrinsic first mass
moments with respect to their centers of gravity within the unavoidable and
inexorable gravitational field, THUS TOTALLY AND LOGICALLY ELIMINATING ANY NEED
FOR THE ASSUMED AND PRESUMABLY "DETECTED" "SUB-ELEMENTARY"
TRANSIENT ELECTRICALLY CHARGED PARTICLES, LIKE QUARKS, ETC, WHICH,
ALTHOUGH "TRANSIENT", PRESUMABLY REVOLVE INSIDE THE
"ELEMENTARY" PARTICLES, LIKE NEUTRONS ETC. TO CREATE THE MAGNETIC
DIPOLE MOMENTS IN THE OBVIOUS VIOLATION OF LOGIC.
This model is in the full harmony with the disapproval of the hypothesis of
quarks by some outstanding scientists, like Heisenberg and others. The paper emphasizes that any theory of physics
and particles, which neglects or omits the inevitable gravitational field, whose
presence makes the space essentially anisotropic, is logically incomplete and consequently
erroneous to a certain extent.

than two bodies is extremely complex and difficult to handle, just as the

definition without any need for " positive " and "
negative" masses or monopoles) is
missed in the International Gravity Formula for the planet
Earth, since the Taylor development was
about the center of mass, so that two different flattenings must
be used with that formula, 
for the northern hemisphere, and 
for the southern hemisphere (see
[3], p.79).This fact indicates
unmistakably the presence of the dipolar term which must be
present in the correct Earth's gravity formula. Of course, the centrifugal acceleration must be included in it. The
Coriolis acceleration applies for the moving mass point. Using

additional experimental fact is necessary. Data from the recently
reported levitations of the organic matters by the conventional
magnetic fields are not available to this author. The available
gravity data are inadequate to obtain 
or 
, since those data are referred to the International Gravity
Formula for the planet Earth, which is inadequate. That Gravity Formula includes, beside the centrifugal term
and a fitting term, only the first
gravity term 
as the consequence of the inappropriate
choice of the center of mass as the coordinate origin, with
respect to which the first moment of the mass distribution is
zero by definition. It is well known that there is the
uncertainty of the order of 10mGals = 10-4 m/s2
(1Gal = 1cm/s2) about the reference value of the
gravity (the difference between the International Gravity Formula
in [3] ( cf. also [5] ) and the Bowie gravity
formula Number 2 for instance, etc.). The observed gravitational
anomalies reduced to the sea level are also of the order of
10mGals. Consequently, those data are uncertain for the
evaluation of 
i.e., 
, and even less as the vectors with their directions. With
the assumed 
value of the order of 10 m, the dipolar
term in the gravity formula (i.e., the expression (28) divided by
) may contribute up to
3x10-5 m/s2 = 3mGals at the sea level
depending on the location. It is too optimistic to expect that
the dipolar term may resolve all observed gravitational
anomalies, but its inclusion in the gravity formula is essential
together with the center of gravity for the coordinate origin of
the unique global coordinate system to which all gravity data are
to be referred . Anyway, if the dipolar term is to contribute
about 10mGals , then

, where 
is the position vector of the center of
mass with respect to the center of gravity of the observed
celestial body with the inexorable variations due to the
gravitational interactions upon each other, when a number of the
celestial bodies are observed. Thus, in the case of the planet
Earth, it follows from this unified field theory that the
conventional large-scale Earth's magnetic field must be
influenced by Moon, Sun and other planets. Daily, monthly,
seasonal and other variations of the conventional Earth's
magnetic field were observed and measured long time ago but
hardly understood and difficult to account for within the dynamo
theory, except through the gravitational
variations of the vertical plumb lines, see [6] and also [4].

Of course, G is the gravitational constant. The referee should compute this
expression for some numerical values and trace the curve - graph as the function
of x. That graph will show only one zero point exactly as given in my letter of
February 4, 2006 and the two singularities, not zeroes by any means as the referee
"thinks". Those singularities are at x = 0 and x = d. It is incredible
that that referee is obviously totally confused by this rather simple problem.
That referee should go back to school to study mathematics rather than to teach,
as probably that referee does! But I have found the incredible ignorance among
many professors of mechanics here in Belgrade and elsewhere in the world.
Such professors may know some highfaluting,
pretentious topics of rational theoretical mechanics but I found them totally
ignorant about some basic mathematical topics of the potential theory and
gravitation. This frightening ignorance of the fundamental problems by so many
physicists - professors, the "learning ignoramuses", is probably the
explanation for the fact that the erroneous choice of the origin of the
geophysical coordinate system was not noticed for centuries. It is obvious
from what was said above that Professor Kholmetskii accepted the opinion of a
totally incompetent, ignorant and probably dogmatic referee and rejected my
paper without any justification. That action of Professor Kholmetskii is even
more amazing, since in my letter to him on February 4, 2006 I described the
latest experiment which confirmed the existence of the torque
given by the Equation (20), Page 7 of my paper and the validity of the basic
hypothesis as expressed by Equation (24), Page 10 of my paper. In fact I suggested
even a possible cooperation in the additional experiments.
