Brief Summary

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)

(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 only one 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 only the 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 assumption and .

 

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

(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 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 (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

whose solution is by definition the familiar mathematical form of the Biot-Savart law ( cf. Appendix )

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] )

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.

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

P.S. For those interested, the BRIEF SUMMARIES of my two papers are

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

Co-Editor Annalen der Physik

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

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.

Signed, Jovan Djuric

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.

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!

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 Foundation Louis de Broglie did. So I submitted on December 2, 2005 my paper to 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 same paper to Professor Alexander Kholmetskii, whose name also appears on the APEIRON Site as the Co-editor of APEIRON covering almost the same field.

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:

http://jovandjuric.tripod.com

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.

 

I responded with the following letter on January 16, 2006 :

Subject: MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION

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.

Thank you very much for your attention to this e-mail letter and your cooperation.

Sincerely

Jovan 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

The final letter from Professor Kholmetskii on February 20, 2006 with the report of the referee rejecting my paper is :

 

From: "Kholmetskii Alexander L." <kholm@bsu.by>
To: "'oliverdj@eunet.rs'" <oliverdj@eunet.rs>

Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:38:31 +0200
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

 

by Jovan Djuric

Balkanska 28, 11000 Belgrade , Serbia

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 1/4  to 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 of  self-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

SERBIAN CHAPTER OF THE CONTINUED SAGA OF THE PAPER "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION"

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

http://www.journaloftheoretics.com/Links/Papers/JD.pdf

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

http://jovandjuric.tripod.com

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 
for the history of undoubtedly the most difficult period of Serbian 
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 
Site is repeated here

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

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 :

http://www.journaloftheoretics.com/Links/Papers/JD.pdf

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,

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 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 of  self-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

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:

Dear Dr Djuric,

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.

Sincerely

Jovan Duric

Subject: Submission of the revised manuscript Annalen ue481, by J. Djuric
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.

Sincerely

Jovan Djuric

Dear Dr. Djuric,

while I completely agree that in principle the earth is not a perfect sphere,
and hence that corrections due to this fact should be considered, I do not
agree that any conclusion about the connection of gravitation and magnetism
can be drawn. Magnetic fields are created, for example, by moving charges, as
described by Maxwell's equations, and this has been confirmed in detail in
numerous experiments, and beyond any doubt.

Thus I conclude that your manuscript is not acceptable for publication in

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.

Sincerely

Jovan Djuric

From: naturephysics@nature.com

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.

Yours sincerely,

Nature Physics Administration

In your final decision to reject my paper "EXPERIMENTAL CONNECTION OF MAGNETISM WITH GRAVITATION" in your letter of August 17, 2006 to me, you state that my paper "does not provide the sort of firm advance in understanding that would warrant publication in Nature Physics".

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 ?!

Subject: Your_manuscript LS10785D Djuric
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.
                                Sincerely,

Subject: Manuscript LS10785D Djuric

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.

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.

Sincerely

Jovan Djuric

P.S.

I should like to remind you that mathematics and all arguments in my theoretical paper "MAGNETISM AS MANIFESTATION OF GRAVITATION" are essentially identical to mathematics in my paper "SPINNING MAGNETIC FIELDS" which was published by your Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 46, February 1975, pp. 679-688.

yours qualifies.  
I realize that you are having difficulty with your work in journals I feel

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

http://jovandjuric.tripod.com

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.


The US Embassy in Belgrade is kindly asked to forward this memorandum to the Speaker of The House of Representatives and the US Government whose e-mail addresses I could not find.

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.

Sincerely

Jovan Djuric
