Harry Stein and Physics
Please dont believe what Harry Stein says about more abstract physics.
There is an excellent rebuttal to this particular article in an issue
of analog a few months later written by some graduate student.
In particular, the feeling you get from the article that physicists dont
really know as much as they pretend to, that there really may be an ether,
and that there is lots wrong with relativity is pretty much hogwash.
Stein also writes about the Dean drive, an new reactionless drive which
is really bizzare and so on. His book, "The Third Industrial Revolution"
is quite good, and he has written much about space industrialization which
is quite good, however, after the things he writes about physics, or about
the dean drive, I wonder how correct his other information is.
