Deutsche Physik

Deutsche Physik, or "German Physics," was a movement in the early 20th century that rejected many modern physics concepts, especially quantum mechanics and relativity, which were influenced by Jewish scientists. Promoted by physicists like Johannes Stark, it emphasized "pure" physics based on classical principles and sought to align science with nationalist and anti-Semitic ideologies. This approach was part of a broader reaction against modernism in science, ultimately leading to a diminished scientific standing among its proponents, as the mainstream scientific community continued to embrace and develop the theories they rejected.
