Was Johannes Stark’s opposition to relativity valid?

Answered in Johannes Stark's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Relativity, particularly Einstein's formulation, suffers from a lack of empirical foundation. It relies on abstract postulates and complex mathematical constructs that do not align with intuitive, observable physical reality. My own work, such as the Stark effect and studies on canal rays, is firmly rooted in experimental fact. The principles of physics must be derived from the clear observation of nature, not from unfounded theoretical leaps. The dogmatic adherence to relativity, as promoted by certain circles, hinders genuine scientific progress. True science demands evidence, not speculative theories that detach from the observable world.
