Arkady Klimentievich Timiryazev (Russian: Аркадий Климентьевич Тимирязев; 19 October 1880 — 15 November 1955) was a Russian Marxist physicist and philosopher.
"All conclusions from Einstein’s theory, which are consistent with reality, can be obtained and often obtained in a much simpler way using theories that contain absolutely nothing incomprehensible – nothing that is at all similar to the requirements presented by Einstein’s theory."[1]
Sixteen years later he wrote "The Theory of Relativity as a Source of Philosophical Idealism" which also appeared in UBM in 1938. Here he stated:
"The orthodox modern scientist does not dare to doubt Einstein's theory. For he regards it as an absolute truth. He holds definitely the view that the Copernican and the Ptolemaic systems are one and the same thing. This standpoint is inacceptable for everybody who does not succumb to fashion in science. The identification of the Ptolemaic and the Copernican system is not a conclusion that has been drawn by idealistic philosophers from the theory of relativity. This identification is the starting point of the whole Einsteinian theory. This theory has this starting point in common with Mach who chose it under the influence of his reactionary philosophy."
