He feard loss of money. Rössler was simply dissapointed why nobody backed him up during his trial with the government. He also was upset that he had to teach a lecture on chemistry for physicians.

In germany, the exam in medicine is set up by government. So the government would have had an eye on what he teaches.

It is now obvious that Otto lacks any scientific knowledge. He got his papers on chaos theory written only since someone had given him a folder with that stuff in it before. His other papers that had scientific content, where written with co authors. Left allone, Rössler has almost no scientific contributions. How on earth should someone like him now teach a chemistry lecture where government has an eye on what was lectured?

He had no possibility to say that he was unqualified as a professor since to leave his chair would mean the loss of a lot of money. So he had to set up a campaign against the university. That campain had simply one goal:

That the university leaves him allone and does not let him teach lectures where the curriculum is controlled by some higher instance, e.g. the government- It worked. from then on, rössler could teach what he wanted at Tübingen, no matter how wrong it was.

There was just one problem: The journals did not accept his crude theses on relativity and physics. So, he set up a campaign again. This time against scientists who refuse to discuss his wrong papers.

What I find kind of amusing is this comment from him:

Otto Rössler wrote
I appeal to friends in Japan not to tolerate being cut-off from potentially life-saving information from this portal.
end quote.

I remember, that after rössler sprayed graffiti on the main lecture hall, a letter to the editor appeared in the local newspaper where rössler wrote that he might leave the university to japan to teach where his knowledge would be coveted (he actually wrote “meine begehrten kenntnisse”).

However, he has not revealed, which university that was where he wanted to go. I therefore thought that rössler would, as usually, bluff. Since no reasonable university in japan would have wanted him at that time.
Now, he also refuses to say, which japanese friends he appeals to.

It is also interesting, that the university of Tübingen had forbidden Rössler to hold guest lectures at other universities. This was since the university feared that their reputation could be damaged when rössler, as a full professor of Tübingen, “teaches” his nonsense in somewhere else’s lecture hall.

But when it comes to accusations against scientists of being child murderers, nazis and so on there must be an even greater knowledge. Concerning these issues which revealed a really good core he had to be stopped by the blog administration…It would be also interesting what Rössler was fearing during the 90s and 00s before he found this LHC-stage when he wrote quite similar letters to local newspapers in Tübingen…he certainly was fearing something because, as Mr Tottoli pointed out correctly, this accusations and defamations are completely explainable by “fear”.

Addendum: I received clarification from Dr William Kilgore (BNL) that comments on Lifeboat attributed to him are the work of an impersonator, as suspected. As such any further posts from same IP address attributed to Dr William Kilgore shall be removed.

Those who think there is no chance of Collidor danger haven’t heard of chaos theory. That doesn’t prove the dander isn’t less then winning every lottery at once. However, many people were very afraid when the Colider was started up. Is there any reason to believe today that the Colider is safe more than the day it was started up?

By the way, there was what was supposed to be a discussion of Einstein in Philadelphia, that turned out to be recruitment day for the Philadelphia Ethical society. No one was worried about micro black holes, the head of a college science club never heard of Otto Rossler, and didn’t know what epicycles were when I was trying to compare epicycles with Hawkins radiator and dark matter.

Thank you for saying so, dear riskalert. I totally agree.

Whether in a situation of emergency, the same serenity of mind is always the best attitude, I sometimes doubt. But in retrospect, what you said is always correct.

And: Lifeboat has deserved its name. Thank you all that you are so brave in a world which prefers complacency.

Also the two above criticism’s of your editing were almost certainly written by the same individual based on the wording and structure of the posts and the time’s posted. It is an attempt to misrepresent the response to your editing decision when in fact it left up the posts that contributed to the conversation and removed those that did not.
