He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Life==<br /> Hollick was born on 30 July 1942 in Paddington, London, and died on 29 October 2016. An autodidact who never attended university, he was best known publicly as a libertarian activist associated with organisations such as the Freedom Association and the Libertarian Alliance. He also had a long-standing interest in physics and computing.<br /> <br /> ==Ideas==<br /> Hollick published his physics writing on his personal website. He argued that light (electromagnetic radiation) cannot be fully described as either a wave or a particle, contending that light &quot;does things waves cannot do&quot; and also &quot;does things that only particles do&quot;, and he criticised what he regarded as errors underlying relativistic interpretations. His broader framework, which he called &quot;Relational Dynamics&quot;, was described by associates as one of his principal intellectual projects. These views lie outside the scientific mainstream.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/index.htm Personal website]<br /> * [https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/obituary-for-tony-hollick-a-very-british-libertarian-activist Obituary (Adam Smith Institute)]<br /> * [https://libertarianism.uk/2016/10/29/tony-hollick-colourful-angry-articulate-tormented-and-reflective-gentleman-1942-2016/ Obituary (Free Life)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Hollick Anthony]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
