The Man Who Stalked Einstein (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
I could also have said Aryan physics or physics of the Nordic type of peoples, physics of the probers of reality, of truth seekers, the physics of those who have founded scientific research,” wrote Philipp Lenard at the outset of his four-volume master work, Deutsche Physik. To those unfamiliar with the history of science, Lenard’s opening thrust must seem an odd assertion. As opposed to pursuits like literature, philosophy, and history, where cultural imprints are inevitable, shouldn’t science be blind to the national origins of the research that defines its progress? How could it be otherwise? Some new bit of knowledge discovered in Germany is published in an English language journal and read in Korea, where researchers use the new information to redesign what had been to that point futile investigations. The German discovery makes all the difference in the Korean experiments, and mans’ understanding of his universe advances another small step forward.
