Norda
empha-
sizes that he is
not
looking
for
financial
support
from the
KWI,
but for
an opportunity
to
present
his
completed,
empirically
based
unique program. Complains
about
con-
ventional
physics
instruction and underscores his theoretical
points: pressure
is
actually only
motion;
electricity
is
gravi-
tation. At the head
of
the
letter
there is
a
notation from Ilse
Einstein:
"Unbeantwortet
