Abstract:
Walter Ritz was born in 1878 in Sion (Switzerland), in the family of the landscape painter Raphael Ritz. In 1890, Ritz entered the Zurich Polytechnic University, joining the same group with Albert Einstein. This partly explains why they dealt with similar problems of physics, and their ideas overlapped. They also discussed in print and co-wrote one article. At the same time, Einstein and Ritz discovered two diametrically opposite ways out of the crisis. If Einstein laid the foundations for the theory of relativity and quantum physics, then Ritz developed the BTR (Ritz Ballistic Theory). He created and published this theory in record time - during 1908-1909. However, in 1909 Ritz died tragically at the age of 31 (in 2009 it will be one hundred years since his death). His theory was forgotten for a long time, because, being unfinished and fragile, the BTR could not withstand criticism without its main defender. It is only now that it becomes clear that Ritz's theory is quite viable and explains a number of phenomena in a simpler, more natural and more accurate way than today's science.
