THE THORNY WAY OF TRUTH represents a collection of documents of different kind which show the enormous difficulties which Stefan Marinov had to overcome on his way in restoring absolute space and time, in revealing the gravitational character of kinetic energy and the static character (in general) of our world.  The "law of inertia" is valid for the collective creation of political, moral, artistic or scientific character.  Traditions and conservatism are indispenable for the functioning of anysociety, science or religion.  However, if one gives no freedom for the communication of new ideas and of the results of new experiences and experiments, the progress in human society and science is impossible.  As this book shows, our society is rather the same as in the times of Jesus Christ and Galileo.  Of course, the norms of behavior have become more sophisticated, but one is not sure whether this "sophistication" is a result of our enlightenment and humanisation or those who maintain the power have understood that the imprisonment in psychiatric clinics is more effective than a crucification and the covering with silence is more effective than a denial. - Back cover

ELECTROMAGNETISM represents Part V of Marinov?s encyclopaedic CLASSICAL PHYSICS. In Marinov?s absolute space-time theory the fundamental equations in electromagnetism and gravimagretism are obtained as mathematical corollaries of the axiomatically accepted energy conservation law and of the axiomatically introduced forms of the space (electrical and gravitational), space-time (magnetic and magretic), and time (rest plus kinetic) energies. The unique difference between electromagnetism and gravimagretism is that the parameters of the space and space-time energies in electromagnetism are the electric charges of the particles which are velocity independent, while in gravimagretism those parameters are the proper masses of the particles which are velocity dependent. Marinov shows (in Part III) that the time energy of any particle is its gravitational energy with the mass of the whole universe. Thus, because of the velocity dependence on the gravitational energy, any particle is related to absolute space through its proper mass. The recent experiment of Werner on the Sagnac effect with neutrons gives an eloquent confirmation of this assertion. When considering the motion of a particle in a moving laboratory, electromagnetic forces appear due to the absolute motion of the laboratory. So the elementary particles revolving in a circular accelerator move with different velocities at different points of their trajectories. Marinov builds whole his theory without introducing the notion "spreading of interaction"; on the basis of his absolute space-time conceptions he calculates in a very simple and lucid way the potential, radiation, and radiation reaction fields of a moving charge.

GRAVIMAGRETISM represents Part IV of Marinov?s encyclopaedic CLASSICAL PHYSICS. In Marinov?s absolute space-time theory the gravitational phenomena are considered by analogy with the electromagnetic phenomena. Aiming to obtain a complete mathematical similarity in the gravitational and electromagnetic theories, Marinov introduces hypothetically the magretic energy as a space-time companion to the space gravitational energy, in the same manner as magnetic energy is a space-time companion to the space electric energy. For this reason Marinov re-names the gravitational theory "gravimagretism. Until today experiments have not given proofs about the existence or non-existence of magretic energy. Such an experiment (the "cauldron" experiment) is proposed by Marinov in Part V. The results of Marinov?s accelerated "coupled-mirrors" experiment (described in Part III) shows that Einstein?s principle of equivalence is not valid, i.e. one can make an experimental distinction between a kinematic and a gravitational acceleration. Marinov?s high-velocity experiments lead to the conclusion that our universe is static as a whole. Thus Marinov considers the "red shift" of the galaxies as a gravitational effect and not as a Doppler effect due to the "escaping velocities" of the galaxies. Marinov shows that the gravitational treatment of the "red shift" leads to a quadratic dependence on the distance to the galaxies and not to a linear dependence as one obtains at the Doppler treatment. The observational data fit better to a quadratic dependence and not to a linear dependence as was established previously by Hubble.

 MATHEMATICAL APPARATUS represents Part I of CLASSICAL PHYSICS which consists of the following five volumes:

I. Mathematical apparatus.
II. Axiomatics. Low-velocity mechanics.
III. High-velocity mechanics.
IV. Gravi-magretism.
V. Elektromagnetism.

The mathematical apparatus used in the four physical parts is presented in Part I. Thus the whole book can be read without consulting any other mathematical book. CLASSICAL PHYSICS is written as a text-book for high school students but, because of its simplicity and clarity can also be read by college students. It shows that classical physics is a very simple study understandable for any person who wishes to know it.

AXIOMATICS and LOW-VELOCITY MECHANICS represent Part IIA and Part IIB of Marinov?s encyclopaedic CLASSICAL PHYSICS, constructed exclusively on the ten axioms introduced in Part IIA. Those are the axioms for space, time, and energy, the axioms for the different kinds of energy (space energy, time energy, and space-time energy), the axiom for the conservation of energy, and the high-velocity axiom. Marinov builds the whole mathematical apparatus of classical physics on a single equation ? the law of energy conservation. All other equations in classical physics, obtained uniquely by the help of simple mathematical speculations, are logical results from this single axiomatical equation. However, with his "small but many beat one big" experiment, described in the preface to Part I, Marinov has registered a violation in the law of energy conservation. This experiment is the first one in history which can be treated at the same time in the domain of classical physics and in the domain of statistical physics. It is based on the "transfer" of momentum and energy "through" extended bodies and on the fact that for massive particles (particles moving with a velocity lower than c) momentum is not proportional to kinetic energy, because the change of the space momentum is a low-velocity phenomenon, while the change of the momentum (rest energy plus kinetic energy divided by c) is a high-velocity phenomenon. As Marinov writes in the preface: "The aim of writing CLASSICAL PHYSICS is the presentation of the report on my "small but many beat one big" experiment. All five volumes can be considered as an appendix to this report.

HIGH-VELOCITY MECHANICS represents Part III of Marinov's encyclopaedic CLASSICAL PHYSICS, which is constructed on the Newtonian notions of absolute space and time. The notion "aether" can be considered exclusively as a synonym to the notion of "absolute space", being defined as the space in which the center of mass of the universe is at rest, or the space in which the velocity of light is isotropic. The fundamental aspects of Marinov's absolute space-time theory are elaborated in Part III. Within effects of first order in v/c Marinov's theory is identical with Newton's theory.  The differnces are for effects of second (and higher) order in v/c. Marinov shows that all high-velocity light experiments can be explained if the laboratory velocity of light is taken not in the Newtonian form c' = c - v cos θ, but in the form c' = c²/(c + v cos θ), where θ is the angle between the absolute velocity v of the laboratory and the direction of light propagation Almost half of Part III is dedicated to the analysis of experiments giving confirmation of Marinov's absolute space-time theory. A detailed description is given to Marinov's own numerous experiments, the most important of which is the "coupled-mirror" experiment, with whose help, as the first man in history, in 1973, Marinov succeedes in registering the absolute motion of the Earth in a laboratory; in 1975/76 he measured accurately enough the Sun's absolute velocity, obtaining a magnitude 303 km/sec with equatorial coordinates of the apex: declination -23??, right ascention 14h 17m. This experiment shows in the most direct way that Einstein's principle of relativity is invalid. Very important are also the various Marinov experiments on the rotating disk.

Stefan Marinov (1931-1997), an experimental and theoretical physicist, who invented a new and highly original method (the "coupled shutters" experiment) to measure the anisotropy in the distribution of the observable velocity of light which is due to the carrying of a light beam by the motion of the space of the Earth itself, despite the world-invariant of the velocity of light is still remaining constant. This book, originally peer reviewed and prefaced by Andrew D. Sakharov (1977), contains a detailed description of the experiment along with many other experiments, and also an updated version of Marinov's treatment of relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics.
