	~~Just quickly~~,		'''Richard Jesch''' (born November 30, 1953) is an American senior technician and a participant in the dissident-science community associated with the [[Natural Philosophy Alliance]] (NPA). He is known within that community for his interest in experiments that are repeatable and yield unexpected results, and for his skepticism toward Albert Einstein's theory of [[relativity]].

	* I'm a friend of [../php2/index.php?tab0=~~Scientists&tab1~~=~~Display&id~~=~~48 Dr~~. ~~John E. Chappell Jr.]~~,~~ who was present when NPA was formed~~.		==Biography==
	* I was a neighbor and friend of [../php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=460 Lee Coe]~~ ~~of Berkeley.		Jesch describes himself as a technician by profession. He resides in Albany, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. He came to question mainstream physics through his friendship with [../php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=460 Lee Coe] of Berkeley, a neighbor and friend who encouraged him to think independently about accepted scientific theories. According to Jesch, it was Coe who first prompted him to consider whether Einstein's relativity made sense, an exchange he credits with liberating him to think for himself.
	* I have VHS home movies of some of the early meetings in San Francisco and Santa Barbara.

	~~My profession is as~~ a ~~lowly technician, but my eyes were opened by my~~ friend [../php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=~~460 Lee Coe~~]~~ to the idea that certain thinkers had dominion over free thinking and discouraged it in others. In school I~~ was ~~a poor student, eventually I understood enough to question some of~~ the ~~mainstream thinking. When I left there my mind~~ was ~~befuddled, Lee was like a breath of fresh air~~. ~~How liberating it was when~~ he ~~asked me what I thought~~ of Einstein's relativity. I answered that it didn't make much sense to me. Lee said, "That means you can think for yourself!" "Those who claim it's all hunky dory are just trying to get ahead." I felt a 100 pound weight lifted from me and ~~have never looked back~~.		Jesch was also a friend of [../php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=48 Dr. John E. Chappell Jr.], who was present when the Natural Philosophy Alliance was formed. Jesch reports that he holds VHS home-movie recordings of some of the early NPA meetings held in San Francisco and Santa Barbara.

	* Biggest regret,~~ ~~ that ~~I never developed~~ a ~~talent to work things~~ out in full (mathematical) detail.		==Views==
	* I enjoy listening to others who ~~are good at it~~.		Jesch has expressed reservations about the dominance of certain established thinkers in physics and the discouragement of free inquiry, a perspective he attributes to Coe's influence. He has stated that he did not find Einstein's relativity persuasive. He notes that he did not develop a facility for working problems out in full mathematical detail, and that he enjoys the work of others who do.

Just quickly,

* I'm a friend of [../php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=48 Dr. John E. Chappell Jr.], who was present when NPA was formed.
* I was a neighbor and friend of [../php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=460 Lee Coe] of Berkeley.
* I have VHS home movies of some of the early meetings in San Francisco and Santa Barbara.

My profession is as a lowly technician, but my eyes were opened by my friend [../php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=460 Lee Coe] to the idea that certain thinkers had dominion over free thinking and discouraged it in others. In school I was a poor student, eventually I understood enough to question some of the mainstream thinking. When I left there my mind was befuddled, Lee was like a breath of fresh air. How liberating it was when he asked me what I thought of Einstein's relativity. I answered that it didn't make much sense to me. Lee said, "That means you can think for yourself!" "Those who claim it's all hunky dory are just trying to get ahead." I felt a 100 pound weight lifted from me and have never looked back.

* Biggest regret,  that I never developed a talent to work things out in full (mathematical) detail.
* I enjoy listening to others who are good at it.
