(I.e. the twin revolutions of quantum physics and of relativity). It was a much weirder response than simply an attack on physicists who happened to be Jewish humans. &lt;i&gt;Fields&lt;/i&gt; of physics were conspiratorially labelled as having a &amp;quot;Jewish&amp;quot; character, and dismissed as psuedoscience, as pathological science: &amp;quot;Jüdische Physik&amp;quot;. There was a fanaticism that&amp;#x27;s hard to grapple with philosophically, a thing that&amp;#x27;s far outside rationality, a magical thinking. How much more &amp;quot;magical&amp;quot; can you get than disregarding &lt;i&gt;natural physical laws&lt;/i&gt;, and substituting your own? That&amp;#x27;s the definition of magic.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Deutsche_Physik&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Deutsche_Physik&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Deutsche Physik&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Aryan Physics&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;)</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The purge of German science in 1933</title><url>https://www.privatdozent.co/p/the-great-purge-of-1933-9f0</url></story>
