He also has created an unusual scientific philosophical humour on "Relativity theory" who has titled it: 4D humour (http://javad.8m.com) Regarding it, he has published a continual Column in his monthly magazine with the same title, that could be an amazing record for a small magazine in that region of the world that posseses such scientific humourous column with fresh and unusual cartoons and humours on the amazing relativity theory and about the unusual amazing and great persons such as: Einstein and Newton! ( website: http://javad.8m.com/photo3.html) under the title": Headstrong heading! In the year 2005 The site of the physicists on the occasion of the world year of Physics, placed the link of his relativistic cartoons in its play physics page showing his scientific cartoons that was humorously the only cartoonist's link among the physicists!http://www.wyp2005.org/play.html Recently his Scientific cartoon about "twin paradox of Special relativity" has been shown and studied in the reading class and conference which was held by International Journal of High-Energy Physics site: "Cern.courier" in Trieste, Itlay, in October 2008, at: http://cerncourier.com/cws/article/cern/37331/1/ccspi3_01_09 He, despite a long background of cartooning, considers himself neither a good translator nor a good cartoonist! Cause everything and everyone is relative! He prefers drawing local editorial critic cartoons to participating in foreign cartoon festivals due to local cartoon's role in promotion of tolerance , democracy and criticism in the cartoonist's country. He has a half-official! website since 2008, at: http://javadalizadeh.com
