In agreement with user:SamJamieColleen I prefer the following edition for Rainer W. Kühne. The present shortened version of Rainer W. Kühne results from an edit war in the German Wikipedia which influenced also the English Wikipedia.

Biography
Dr. Rainer W. Kühne was born on 23 May 1970 in Braunschweig, Germany. He obtained the Abitur (maturity) from the Gymnasium Martino-Katharineum in Braunschweig in May 1989. He made military service in Celle and Wesendorf from June 1989 to August 1990. His highest military degree was Obergefreiter. He obtained the diploma in physics (supervisor: Prof. Wolfgang Kundt) from the University of Bonn on 21 November 1995 and the Dr. rer. nat. (supervisor: Dr. Ute Löw) from the University of Dortmund on 19 July 2001.

In January 1989, when he was a school boy, he published his first article on Atlantis. In it he argued that Plato's Atlantis tale refers to Mycenaean Athens and the war of the Sea Peoples who attacked the Eastern Mediterranean countries around 1200 BC.

In May 1991, when he was a first-year student, Kühne published his first article in a scientific journal. It was a review of cold nuclear fusion (cold fusion in a test tube).

In March 1994 and in March 1995, together with Prof. Roman Sioda, Kühne presented his first theory, the extended micro hot fusion scenario, in order to explain the neutron emissions from Steven Jones type cold fusion.

In October 1997 Kühne suggested that the alignment of the rotation axes of the galaxies of the Perseus-Pisces supercluster is an effect of the intrinsically rotating Gödel universe. The Gödel universe is a strict solution of the Einstein field equations of General Relativity which includes closed time-like curves (time travel).

In December 1997 Kühne presented a generalization of quantum electrodynamics which he called quantum electromagnetodynamics. The new concept of this theory is a new kind of tensor coupling called velocity coupling. This concept modifies quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, because it requires a velocity operator. This concept modifies Special Relativity, because it requires absolute motion and therefore violates the relativity principle. Kühne predicted a second kind of light which consists of Abdus Salam's magnetic photon. Kühne's suggested experiment for the search for these magnetic photon rays has been performed in 2004 by Prof. Roderic Lakes. Kühne suggests that the magnetic photon rays may have been observed by August Kundt in the 19th century.

In June 1999 Kühne discussed Einstein-Cartan theory, i. e. Cartan's torsion theory. This theory is a generalization of Albert Einstein's General Relativity. Kühne argued that the spin-mass duality of this theory is analogous to the electric-magnetic duality of quantum electromagnetodynamics. Kühne argued that a quantized torsion theory requires the existence of a spin three boson called tordion whose rest mass is the Planck mass.

In September 1999 Kühne discussed the Paul Dirac large numbers hypothesis. Thereby Kühne introduced what he later called the fundamental equation of unified field theory. It reads: the reciprocal value of the fine-structure constant is equal to the absolute value of the logarithmus naturalis of the product of the Einstein field constant, the Planck mass, the speed of light, and the Hubble constant. This equation includes the characteristic constants of quantum electrodynamics and of concepts of quantum gravity. Kühne remarked that this equation predicts the Hubble constant to be 69.7 km/s/Mpc. Ten years later this value has been confirmed by the five-year WMAP data. This equation predicts the Hubble constant to be 69.734(4) km/s/Mpc.

In November 1999 Kühne, together with Dr. Ute Löw, published his first mainstream work. It is an examination of the thermodynamical properties of a Heisenberg spin system with coupled Einstein phonons.

In June 2004 Kühne argued that Plato's Atlantis tale refers to Mycenaean Athens and the war of the Sea Peoples around 1200 BC and to Tartessos from around 800 to 550 BC. Kühne's theory says: "Good fiction imitates facts. Plato declared that his Atlantis tale is philosophical fiction invented to describe his fictitious ideal state in the case of war. Kühne suggests that Plato has used three historical elements for this tale. (i) Greek tradition on Mycenaean Athens for the description of ancient Athens, (ii) Egyptian records on the wars of the Sea Peoples for the description of the war of the Atlanteans, and (iii) oral tradition from Syracuse about Tartessos for the description of the city and geography of Atlantis." This publication aroused world-wide media interest. Kühne's work motivated an archaeological expedition in the Donana National Park. The members of the expedition include Prof. Sebastian Celestino Perez, Prof. Juan Jose Villarias Robles, Prof. Antonio Rodriguez Ramirez, Prof. Angel Leon Conde, Dr. Victorino Mayoral Herrera, Dr. Tomas Cordero Ruiz, and Dr. Jose Antonio Lopez Saez. John Gill wrote about this expedition from July 2006 and remarked that if Kühne has found Atlantis, or just Tartessos, this is a discovery to rival Heinrich Schliemann at Troy.

Duality
The electric-magnetic duality which Kühne suggested in his quantum electromagnetodynamics reads:


 * electric charge — magnetic charge
 * electric current — magnetic current
 * electric conductivity — magnetic conductivity
 * electric field strength — magnetic field strength
 * electric four-potential — magnetic four-potential
 * electric photon — magnetic photon
 * electric field constant — magnetic field constant
 * dielectricity number — magnetic permeability

Kühne suggested an analogy between the electric-magnetic duality of quantum electromagnetodynamics and the mass-spin duality of quantum Einstein-Cartan(-Sciama-Kibble) theory. It reads:


 * electric charge — magnetic charge
 * mass — spin


 * electric field constant — magnetic field constant
 * gravitational constant — reduced Planck constant


 * electric four-potential — magnetic four-potential
 * metric tensor — torsion tensor


 * electric photon — magnetic photon
 * graviton — tordion
