- Udo 14y agoWhether the guy is an authority or not, it's still exceedingly unlikely this hypothesis is correct. And yes, papers "proving Einstein wrong" are usually crackpot material. What that guy published in the past is not the subject here.
- faro1975 14y agoPapers that question Einstein are just science. That is the core of the scientific method - to keep refining the models, improving our knowledge and question everything. And yes, even Einstein. Those papers might turn out to be wrong, but not because they were trying to disprove Einstein. Those "scientist" who believe that Einstein's theories are infallible, cannot call themselves scientists. They are just believers in a different kind of a religion.
