William Ramsey Investigates Einstein, Relativity & Modern Physics with Hans G. Schantz, Part 1.
May 21, 2025
Hans G. Schantz, an author and researcher at the Society for Post-Quantum Research, dives deep into Einstein's legacy in this engaging discussion. They explore the rise of relativity through strategic promotions, especially post-1919 eclipse. Schantz challenges common misconceptions about electromagnetic theory and shares insights on the historical role of ether in physics. The conversation also touches on media dynamics that shaped public perception of Einstein and his connections to the Zionist movement, weaving a rich tapestry of science, history, and cultural influence.

Episode notes
Hans Schantz's Career Path
- Hans Schantz's career journey began from industrial engineering inspired by entrepreneurship and led to a PhD in theoretical electromagnetism.
- He co-founded a startup using low frequency near field signals for indoor location, blending theory with practical technologies.
Einstein's Deductive Relativity Approach
- Einstein's theory of relativity was derived deductively from two fundamental principles rather than induced from experiments.
- He dismissed the necessity of mechanisms like the ether, focusing only on observable outcomes in physics.
Origins of Relativity Theory
- Relativity emerged from efforts to explain ether drift experiments and reconcile electromagnetic theory.
- Einstein's 1905 paper explained Lorentz transforms through the postulates of equivalence of physical laws and constant light speed.
