'''Francis A. Weil''' is an author known for a critique of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]''.<br />
<br />
==Work==<br />
Weil is recorded as the author of ''Refutation of the Theory of Relativity: Contribution to the Reorganization of Natural Philosophy'', a short pamphlet published in Caracas in 1951. The work argues against the special theory of relativity and calls for a reorganisation of physical concepts, placing it among the many early-to-mid twentieth century texts critical of Einstein's ideas. His writings also touch on the Michelson–Morley experiment and offer a critical reading of Newton's laws.<br />
<br />
The 1951 pamphlet is catalogued in the Library of Congress and is indexed in the G. O. Mueller / Ekkehard Friebe bibliography of critical publications on the special theory of relativity, an independent compilation of anti-relativity literature. Weil's arguments lie outside the scientific mainstream, which continues to regard special and general relativity as well-confirmed by experiment.<br />
