Why were elements of the deutsche Physik movement against Bothe?

  • His theories

  • His approach to teaching

  • His international collaborations

  • All of the above

Answer

The deutsche Physik movement was a group of physicists who believed that quantum mechanics was a Jewish conspiracy and that German physics should be based on the principles of classical physics. They were opposed to Bothe because he was a supporter of quantum mechanics and because he was Jewish. Bothe was also a pacifist and a critic of the Nazi regime, which further alienated him from the deutsche Physik movement.
