KAFKA ON THE CONFERENCE CIRCUIT
[1976] I discussed it with Weber in '71 at the conference in Copenhagen, GR6. And Weber of
course did not agree. But the discussions did not come to an end because Weber had to leave
suddenly because his [first] wife had died. Then in the Spring of '72 I wrote an article for this
Gravity Research Foundation called `Are Weber's Pulses Illegal' and this made Weber very angry.
Then in July when I came to Varenna as an observer I just wanted to meet Weber there and I
remember that when I came there was a table for lunch and Weber and Dicke and some other
experimentalists, I think Fairbank, were sitting there, and Weber say 'hello, this is Peter Kafka
who called me a fraud' [laughter]. Of course I had not called him a fraud — if you need it you can
see what I said
