STARK Johannes (Stark)

Stark, Johannes (Stark), (1874-1951), German physicist, Nobel laureate (1919, for the discovery of the Doppler effect in canal rays and the splitting of spectral lines in electric fields, T. n. Stark effect), the active Nazi. In 1922, after the attack on Albert Einstein and his theory of relativity under the pressure of the professors left the University of Wц?rzburg. Stark is constantly criticized "self-confident Jewish science", considering only the true "science Germanic". Commitment Stark racial doctrine has made it desirable for scientists to Nazi regime.
