He also used the pen name Michael Bergstedt. He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Life==<br /> Schulte Berge was born in Einen (now part of Warendorf) in Westphalia. He studied law in Münster from 1947 to 1953 and worked as a justice inspector in Münster and later as a court official in Marl before returning to Warendorf-Einen in 1994. He was also active as a composer. His prolific self-published output, spanning from 1959 to 2010, included poetry, philosophical treatises and plays with music as well as scientific writings. He is recorded in the &#039;&#039;Lexikon Westfälischer Autorinnen und Autoren&#039;&#039; (Lexicon of Westphalian Authors).<br /> <br /> ==Ideas==<br /> In 1970 Schulte Berge published &#039;&#039;Die entbehrliche Relativitätstheorie. Ein Versuch, die Sache einfacher zu erklären&#039;&#039; (&quot;The expendable theory of relativity. An attempt to explain the matter more simply&quot;), in which he argued that the phenomena described by Einstein&#039;s relativity could be accounted for in simpler terms and that the theory was therefore dispensable. He wrote further self-published pieces on related topics such as the Doppler effect, the structure of matter and atomic physics. His views on relativity fall outside the scientific mainstream.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://www.lexikon-westfaelischer-autorinnen-und-autoren.de/?id=00000017&amp;layout=2&amp;author_id=00001628&amp; Entry in the Lexikon Westfälischer Autorinnen und Autoren]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Schulte Berge Erich]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
