(32,828 posts)3. Longer explanation
Back in Nazi times, mostly due to anti-semitism, Einstein and other Jewish scientists' work was considered discredited.
I can't find the exact quote but it was along the lines of "good German science is based upon experimentation leading to a conclusion. Jewish science is based upon theory"
Getting closer, turns out it was actually called "German Physics"
The most famous example is the "German Physics" movement by a small group of physicists trying to ideologize physical research.From http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/28518/1/dp0910.pdf
Got it!!
