	Neil Munch ~~has had~~ a life-long interest in space, advanced physics, cosmology, and an insatiable curiosity about most everything. He stressed the importance of assumptions in all scientific endeavor and ~~has~~ influenced ~~an entire~~ generation of critical thinkers around the world.		'''Neil E. Munch''' (November 13, 1926 – July 2, 2014) was an American mechanical and aerospace engineer with a life-long interest in space, advanced physics and cosmology, and an insatiable curiosity about most everything. Throughout his work he stressed the central importance of clearly stated assumptions in all scientific endeavor, and he influenced a generation of critical thinkers around the world. He was a co-founder and founding director of the [[Natural Philosophy Alliance]] (NPA).

	* 1948-1956: advanced engineering projects in rocket propulsion, space travel, information systems, ordnance systems at several companies.		==Career==
	* 1956-1986: joined General Electric Space Division as scientific contributor and manager of space sciences groups up to 45 people.

	~~Currently retired from GE~~. Some of the rocket engines he designed were successfully flown are now on display at Smithsonian Air ~~&~~ Space Museum in ~~Wash. DC~~. ~~President of Munch Engineering Corp. (Incorporated 1984) Published aver 100 papers questioning modern physics some of which are also in referred journals~~.		Munch spent his early career (1948–1956) on advanced engineering projects in rocket propulsion, space travel, information systems and ordnance systems at several companies. In 1956 he joined the General Electric Space Division as a scientific contributor and manager, eventually leading space-sciences groups of up to 45 people, and remained there until 1986. Some of the rocket engines he designed were successfully flown and are now on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

	~~<b>Education</b>~~		In 1984 he founded and served as president of Munch Engineering Corporation. Over his career he published more than 100 papers questioning aspects of modern physics, some of them in refereed journals, with a particular focus on what he considered unwarranted or shifting assumptions in Einstein's [[Special Theory of Relativity]].

	* B.S.M.E. (Mechanical Engineering,) 1948 Cornell.		==Education==
	* Graduate ~~Aero Engineering~~ studies at Cornell.
	* Graduate ~~Engineering~~ and ~~Physics~~ studies at Stevens ~~Inst.~~ of Technology.		* B.S.M.E. (Mechanical Engineering), 1948 – Cornell University
	* MS in Engineering, 1951 followed by ~~PhD~~ studies.		* Graduate aeronautical engineering studies – Cornell University
	* Licensed ~~Prof. Engineering in NY~~ State 1956.		* Graduate engineering and physics studies – Stevens Institute of Technology
	* ~~Participated in numerous GE sponsored advanced education programs where I studied~~ Modern Physics under Edwin Taylor of MIT.		* M.S. in Engineering, 1951, followed by Ph.D. studies
	* Founding director ~~in 1995~~ of the Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA), ~~which now has over~~ 200 members ~~in USA~~ and other countries ~~around the world~~.		* Licensed Professional Engineer, New York State, 1956
			* Studied Modern Physics under Edwin Taylor of MIT through numerous GE-sponsored advanced education programs

			==Natural Philosophy Alliance==

			In 1994, Munch was a co-founder and founding director of the [[Natural Philosophy Alliance]] (NPA), together with Dr. [[John Chappell\|John E. Chappell Jr.]] and others. The NPA grew to more than 200 members across the United States and other countries, providing a forum for scientists and independent researchers critical of mainstream physics — especially Einstein's [[Special Theory of Relativity]].
