  4. Ruderfer "Introduction to Ives" Lorentz transformations: R. Lalli, "Anti-Relativity in Action: The Scientific Activity of Herbert E. Ives between 1937 and 1953", HSNS 43(1) (2013): "published one of Ives's papers with positive commentary by Martin Ruderfer" [web] https://www.jstor.org/stable/hsns.2013.43.1.41 (an open PDF is reported at od.lk/lalli2013; not reached). W. L. Craig cites the same 1979 item (SST 2, 243-246) in God, Time and Eternity and in a 1994 Asbury paper on special relativity. This shows the Lorentz-ether reading reaching philosophers of time.

IRE vol. 40 (1952) contents: "Telepathy and the Quantum", Martin Ruderfer, p.1734; LinkedIn posts (2026) on a "Ruderfer incident" (Mike McCulloch; Kai Wenz; C. S. Unnikrishnan, "Ruderfer's Experiment Debunked: A Lesson in Relativity"). These are current public discussion of claim 6. LinkedIn needs a login, so they were not opened.
  7. "Ruderfer" "solar neutrino" Pinch OR Davis OR "living things": ScienceDirect (cited by 5); T. Pinch, Confronting Nature: The Sociology of Solar-Neutrino Detection (Reidel 1986), chapter "Experiment and Evidential Context", with a reference line "Ruderfer, Long Island, November 9, 1981", i.e. Pinch interviewed Ruderfer [web] https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-94-015-7729-8 (paywalled; the snippet comes from the Springer PDF front matter); UNESCO "Learning processes in man, machine and society": "Ruderfer independently proposed that neutrinos could 'produce sensible effects in living tissue' [19]. He was concerned with using biological systems." [web] https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000022445 (not opened).
  8. "Proceedings of the First Conference on Psychotronic Research" "Part I" JPRS L/5022-1: no exact hit. Without quotes it finds CIA documents citing "JPRS L/5022-1 and 2, Sept. 6, 1974" (Puthoff and Targ), remote-viewing histories, and the Davis "Teleportation Physics Study" (2004) reference list. No online copy of Part I.

"Ruderfer" Mossbauer rotor "ether" Champeney OR "Turner and Hill" OR Kholmetskii: Champeney, Isaak and Khan, "An 'aether drift' experiment based on the Mössbauer effect" (1963); Champeney and Moon, "On the impossibility of the first-order relativity test" (Proc. Phys. Soc. 1961), which cites Ruderfer 1960 and appears to be a parallel independent statement of the 1961 cancellation point; C. C. Su arXiv physics/0208084 (local-ether model and the Mössbauer rotor); Kholmetskii, "Covariant ether theories" (Phys. Scripta 2006); a Moscow Quantum Gravity text citing Ruderfer 1960.

  12. Kuchowicz "Stefan-Boltzmann law and correct statistics for the neutrino sea": Springer (Lett. Nuovo Cim. 8, 942-944, 1973); INSPIRE (B. Kuchowicz, Warsaw U.); and, via "related", H. C. Dudley, "Proposed experimental test of neutrino sea as a subquantic medium", Nuovo Cim. B 4, 68-72 (1971) (Univ. Illinois Medical Center).
  13. "Proposed experimental test of neutrino sea as a subquantic": Dudley PDF on GitHub (peatysharing/bibliography), downloaded (see that note).
  14. "Ruderfer" "Telepathy and the Quantum": LJ Hammond booklist (see that note); A. S. Presman, Electromagnetic Fields and Life (Plenum 1970) cites "Ruderfer, M. (1952). Telepathy and the quantum, Proc. IRE, 40: 1735". So a leading Soviet bioelectromagnetics author knew of the 1952 letter.
  15. "Dimensions, Inc." "85 Madison Ave" OR "95 Madison Ave" Hempstead: Computers and Automation, June 1965 Computer Directory (Dimensions, Inc. under plotters); Cejka/Valone database.
  16. Ruderfer "Fallacy of Peer Review" "Speculations in Science and Technology": the full title is "The fallacy of peer review: Judgment without science and a case history", SST 3(5), 533-562 (1980). It is cited by D. F. Horrobin, "Peer review: a philosophically faulty concept ..." (BBS 1982) and by the Peters and Ceci BBS 1982 open peer commentary. It appears in Garfield's HistCite peer-review index (UPenn) and is still cited (Horchani 2025, UKSG Insights). The "case history" is probably Ruderfer's own experience of rejection; it needs reading (priority 4).
  17. "Ruderfer independently proposed" neutrinos: UNESCO (see 7); Scribd aura text ("Ruderfer (1980) have proposed that neutrinos are the possible carrier of psi information").
  18. Lalli "Anti-Relativity in Action" Ives Ruderfer: od.lk open PDF and JSTOR. Not opened (time limit).
