  • 1960s – The work increasingly consolidates toward a unified description of elementary particles and their masses.
  • since 1949 – Heim works independently on a general field theory in which all physical fields and their sources are described uniformly as dynamical properties of geometrical structures.

Development of the Theory in the 1950s

  • Summer 1959 – Lecture in Rome on investigations carried out at the institute; leading to closer contacts with Italian scientists.
  • 4 June 1959 – Publication of the article “The Principle of Dynamic Contrabarie” in the journal Flugkörper.
  • 1959 – According to Heim’s autobiographical account, his earlier statement regarding the lunar magnetic field is confirmed in connection with Soviet lunar measurements.
  • 1958 – Further presentation at an international spaceflight congress in Copenhagen.
  • 1958 – Meeting with Hedwig Conrad-Martius.
  • 1958 – Founding of the “German Research Institute for Force-Field Physics and General Cosmology”, directed by Heim; the experimental program ultimately fails due to insufficient precision and ends after the death of Heim’s father.
  • September 1958 – Lecture in Bremen on these results.
  • 1958 – Numerical calculation of the horizontal intensity of terrestrial and lunar magnetic fields.
  • 27 October 1957 – Lecture in Frankfurt am Main: “The Contrabaric Effect and Its Astronautical Significance”.
  • 1956–1960s – Heim attempts experimental verification of a predicted natural effect; no conclusive confirmation is achieved with the available means.
  • 1954–1955 – Correspondence with Vaclav Hlavaty on unified field theory.
  • 1952 – International Astronautical Congress (Stuttgart) Burkhard Heim submits a contribution to the International Astronautical Congress in Stuttgart and presents a lecture titled “Dynamic Contrabarie as a Solution to the Astronautical Problem.” The presentation is clearly situated within an astronautical and propulsion-oriented context, addressing the search for new propulsion methods beyond the classical rocket principle. Heim formulates the so-called “astronautical problem” and develops a theoretical approach based on his early field-theoretical work, including the use of a six-dimensional formalism and the introduction of the mesofield. His underlying theory is not presented as a complete physical framework, but rather serves as a conceptual basis for a potential new physical propulsion principle.
