How the results bear on the claims
- Claims 1-2 (ether sink gravity, mass creation): Hilgenberg's own 1933 statement is online (archive.org, nuclearplanet.com). Related lineage: Yarkovsky 1888 (naturalphilosophy wiki), Krafft 1953 (Hilgenberg translated it), Scalera 2021 (Earth-Prints) continuing the "central torrent" ether model.
- Claim 4 (inverted Magnus effect): no new primary text found yet. The 1933 booklets remain to obtain.
- Claim 6 / historical record: the rejected thesis (1937 submission per Thielmann and Zillmer; 1938 rejection per German Wikipedia) has no archival record found yet.
