Professor BURKHARD HEIM and the Germans
A human symbol of shattered Germany at the end of WW-II, Burkhard Heim had lost his eyes
and his hands in a laboratory explosion. Besides that, he was left almost deaf. But his
drive and his intuition were still very much intact. In spite of these seemingly
insurmountable handicaps, he managed to graduate in theoretical physics (1954)
and since 1956 he became heavily engaged in research pertaining to the nature
of forcefields. In order to develop and test new theories, a special "Research Institute
for Forcefield-Physics" was established in 1958, associated with the University of
Goettingen in Northeim, Hannover. As proclaimed on the letterhead of the Institute
it also represents the "German Section of the European Center for Gravity Research."
As early as 1952, Heim had presented his first public lecture* in Stuttgart,
revealing the discovery of a positive lead to anti-gravity, involving a "transitional field"
which acts as an intermediary from electricity to gravity. Alas, when Prof. Heim disclosed
his theory of "field propulsion" for space-flight at the Second International Congress
for Astronautics in Innsbruck, Austria (1952), the history of science gave a repeat
performance -- Heim was ridiculed!
Considering that this occurred quite a few years before SATURN moon rockets and MARINER
landers had become household words, and astronautics as such was about as unpopular in
scientific circles as serious UFO research is today, perhaps this should not have been
too surprising.
Stung by the experience, Heim swore to remain silent henceforth until even the last
iota of his new theory could be proven by exact laboratory data without the slightest
remaining doubts. Since then, mysterious but generally poorly-informed references
to his research have shown up in the European, North American and South American press,
but officially, by and large, there was only discrete silence about his research results.
