Far stranger than his mere ignorance is his belief that "the ether" DOES exist, and that its debunking was therefore fraudulent. He plainly knows next to nothing about Heisenberg & the efforts of rational scientists within the 3rd Reich to reverse Hitler's infantile rejection of "Jewish" [i.e. actual] physics, to enable them to work towards a Nazi nuke. He doesn't know what "beg the question" means (though he does this constantly); his book is littered with illiteracies (there? Or their? Er...).<br />Stevens mourns the (alleged) suppression of the "good historical ideas" the 3rd Reich gave the world. What, I wonder, were they?
