The author studied physics in Leipzig from 1964 to 1970. He graduated the diplom from the Institute for Radioactive Isotopes. Then until 1978 he worked at Carl Zeiss Jena in the department Analysis measurement technology in the development of optical measuring devices and software for the evaluation of the spectral data. He then took on an assistant job at the section technology of the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena in the area of cybernetics and experimental design, studied non-numerical mathematics, computer science and other engineering sciences and received his doctorate in 1983 in this field. After the social change in the former GDR the author started after several retraining courses a freelance teaching activity that he held until 2008, where he reached the retirement pension. Only then he did start to deal with physics again and made worldwide contacts. Halton Arp and Paul Marmet especially influenced the author's thinking. As a spectroscopist, he finally found the Thunderbolt project, a project of a small, avant-garde community of scientists and engineers who are working on a new understanding of the cosmos using experimental means of plasma physics. As a voluntare he cooperates and disseminates the ideas of them.
