Was Einstein Right? by Clifford Will (disclaimer: know the guy a little bit), while it could use an update, is a fantastic review of the various experiments which showed that the results were within predictions of special and general relativities.
Many people don't want Einstein to have been right, and their motivations vary. Some really really really want FTL to be a thing. Some desire an absolute frame of reference. Some have philosophical issues with the concepts. A few seem to be under the impression that Michelson-Morley was done just the one time and that was the end of any attempts to falsify.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoThe article is about people disagreeing with Einstein on quantum mechanics, not relativity.
- wrycoder 3y agoThe end of the article discusses special relativity's philosophical stance, and is rather interesting.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoBut nobody in the article disagreed with him about it. They disagreed with his complaints about quantum mechanics by making a comparison to relativity.
