Over at Pharyngula<\/a> there is a link to a talk summary<\/a> (not surprisingly, related to evolution) that says<\/p>\n

Evolution is the \u201cgreatest deception in the history of science\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wait. I thought Anthropogenic Global Warming was the greatest deception in the history of science<\/a><\/p>\n

But, whither physics? Surely physics has foisted deception upon mankind, somehow. Ah, relativity to the rescue.<\/a> Even worse than the evolutionary deception of Piltdown man, apparently<\/p>\n

By now, science seems to be
\n so heavily invested in Relativity and Einstein, that it will be very
\n hard to admit Relativity has been so obviously wrong. It would be
\n like admitting to a crime.<\/p>\n

Lies in science have happened before virtually on the level of
\n relativity. In England a claim was made that the origin lay in
\n Britain, perpetrated by leading experts in the field of paleontology.
\n What they did was to use a fairly modern skull, filed off key
\n evidence from an ape lower jaw (joints, teeth), put them together
\n and claimed they had found it like that. This deception has lasted
\n for a long time, but not as long as the Relativity deception has.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And in addition<\/a><\/p>\n

It is simply incredible that a theory with so many deceptions has held the attention of so many of physicists and other scientists from the field of natural and technical sciences for so long, and has managed to retain acceptability and even enter the textbooks for secondary schools and universities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, relativity and evolution are deceptions that follow from the Copernican deception<\/a>. Evolution was the followup, and relativity was the third blow.<\/p>\n

Once the Copernican Revolution had conquered the physical sciences of Astronomy and Physics and put down deep roots in Universities and lower schools everywhere, it was only a matter of time until the Biological sciences launched the Darwinian Revolution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And then, after the Michelson-Morley experiment<\/p>\n

Einstein\u2019s Relativity hypothesis rescued heliocentricity from the findings of over 200 experiments which showed that the earth was not moving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I always enjoy the conspiracy angle. We have so much invested in the deception of relativity that we just can’t afford to abandon it at this point. It takes tremendous effort, covering up such a theory that doesn’t actually work. Good thing it’s just a blind alley of physics, and no science or technology actually uses<\/em> it.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, I couldn’t quickly find the same vitriol-induced confusion over quantum mechanics. Perhaps it’s just that QM is so openly bizarre that despite the fact that there are those out there that decry it, it’s not considered deceptive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
