Interview with Dr. Egely
New knowledge is created through research!
How do you recognize an outstanding scientist?
Today I can give an answer
I asked myself this question. Today I can give an answer. The history of our knowledge is very much based on observation and experiment. The overwhelming number of our academics today are shaped solely by learned knowledge that they successfully apply. New knowledge is created primarily through research in which a fraction of scientists participate. Dr. Egely has written interesting books – unfortunately mostly only in his native Hungarian – describing how difficult it is for new knowledge to find its way into our general knowledge. Even if it comes from recognized researchers. He demonstrates the extent to which this has the effect of impeding human progress. At least his book “forbidden inventions” has been published in German. Where “forbidden” here is not to be understood as “not allowed” but more like “not accepted”.
How far are we humans.
I have learned that the most likely indication of a scientist’s quality is his or her curriculum vitae. Did he do his own research? Has he been a researcher at internationally recognized research institutes? This is true of Dr. Egely. Rolf Kranen’s invention is criticized by quite a few scientists as “not feasible”. This is understandable because it is the learned academic view. But as eloquent as these critics may be, a look at their curriculum vitae – as far as possible – has so far often shown one thing. There is a lack of proper research experience and curiosity to explore natural processes. How far are we humans with our knowledge at all? Proposal. Put a blade of grass on the table of someone who is convinced of himself as a scientist. Then say, “When you’ve reproduced that one, they’ll come back”. The truth is, after all, that we can talk smart about so many things and not even reproduce a blade of grass.”

The Holy Grail of Science: The Measurement Result
“Since I am an exploratory and experimental scientist, observation of nature and measurements are the holy grail of science for me, not existing theories.”
Everything was normal...
In my professional life, everything was normal for a long time. In 1974, at the age of 24, I graduated as an engineer from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology. There we dealt with heat and energy transfer. I continued this work at the Atomic Research Institute of the Hungarian Central Physical Institute (1974-1990). In particular, we investigated the energy transfer processes during possible accidents in nuclear power plants. In 1982, I received my doctorate in engineering from the Budapest University of Technology. It was a special honor for me to be the first Hungarian scientist to receive a fellowship to the International Atomic Energy Agency in the United States in 1980-81. I worked there for a year and a half at Brookhaven National Laboratory on nuclear power plant fluid dynamics research.
Investigate impartially
It was then that I became interested in investigating unknown phenomena with the tools and possibilities of science in an unbiased way. I have a simple model to explain it. If you throw a stone or heavy ball at the ground from a low height in an enclosed space, you can determine the point of impact fairly accurately.
If, on the other hand, you throw a paper, it will always hit a different place on the floor. Because its geometry and physics are completely different from the ball or stone. Sure, it’s trite. But the science of today is not interested in such banalities. It prefers to define, from its point of view, irrefutable laws. Anything that behaves differently must not be and is therefore not investigated further.
