Dimiter G. Stoinov (born 14 March 1936) is a Bulgarian mechanical engineer and independent theoretical physicist known for his criticism of modern theoretical physics and for proposing a "kinetic theory of interactions" based on a gaseous model of the Ether. His writings challenge the foundations of Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, particularly the ideas that mass and time depend on velocity and that space possesses physical properties.

Biography

Stoinov was born in Belovo, Bulgaria, into the family of a teacher, from whom he traced his early interest in mathematics. From 1951 to 1956 he attended a five-year technical school (college) in Karlovo, and from 1958 to 1964 he studied at the Machine-Electrical Institute (MEI) in Sofia, now the Technical University of Sofia, completing a six-year course and earning a diploma as a mechanical engineer. He has lived in Sofia since 1966 and has two children, a daughter and a son.

From 1964 to 1966 Stoinov worked as an engineer-constructor at a machine-tool plant in Pazardzhik. He then served as a research fellow at the Central Institute of the Technology of Machine-Building in Sofia from 1966 to 1970, and as a research fellow and senior research fellow at the Institute of Radio-Electronics in Sofia from 1971 to 1993. Over the course of his engineering career he was credited with three inventions and received two governmental awards for contributions to technical progress. He has stated that his interest in physics arose in late 1977, while he was preparing for the philosophy examination of the Candidate (PhD) minimum.

Scientific contributions

Stoinov rejects several of the central paradigms of modern physics. He does not accept that mass and time are functions of speed, nor that space has physical properties or can be distorted. In his view, the difficulties of modern theoretical physics stem from unsatisfactory answers to three questions: the nature of electrical charge, the nature of electromagnetic waves, and the physical cause of nuclear forces.

To address these questions he proposes what he terms a "kinetic theory of interactions," which seeks to explain all interactions in nature, including electricity, magnetism, and nuclear forces, solely through the motion and collision of elementary particles characterized only by their physical attributes such as mass, form, size, and energy. Related positions in his work include doubt about the large number of recognized elementary particles, doubt about the existence of antimatter, rejection of the photon as a physical particle, and support for a gaseous model of the ether. Much of his later writing addresses the Michelson–Morley experiment, electromagnetic induction, and a "resonance formula" offered as an alternative account of the hydrogen spectrum.
