MANY NEW EINSTEINS !

Finally a somewhat touchy, but overdue topic has made it into the
media and consequently, a few blogs.
Namely the question about freedom in science, a question that really
goes down to the very foundation of every academic endeavour.
Nowadays what counts as "politically correct" science is dictated
by a few influential individuals, who after having gotten tenure
don't do anything other than forcing younger people to work on their
mainstream subjects, such as string theory. It seems that one cannot
get a job in theoretical particle physics today without some career
in string theory.

Other competing ideas like loop quantum gravity are heavily suppressed;
and even more the more off-mainstream alternatives. It's really so
unjust: here and there people are working hard on problems, and one
set of people get jobs and recognition and funds, while
the others get denied all that - despite of having alternative
ideas is morally on a so much higher standing, not the least just
for contradicting the mainstream! It's so cheap to
simply follow the crowd and repeat what everybody says, in comparison
to a revolutionary rebel, who opposes almost every word in a text
book for the sake of it, and who doesn't believe in the accumulated
lies in all those papers. Who has the courage to challenge the
unreflected claims that are repeated and repeated of thousands of
blind followers of the mainstream. Who doesn't bow to the pressure
to give up. Who fights his mission through the academic institutions.
Who pulls off the mask of camouflaged incompetence from the faces
of all those established "experts". Who brings up shocking
alternatives to quantum mechanics, general relativity, string theory,
that are so radical that those old farts get sick.

Yes, that's the kind of independent thinkers that I respect. Thanks to the internet, we will see more and more now... the days of the oppressive academic establishment are over soon. Indeed everyone can be an expert, everyone can be a new Einstein! As we learned, Einstein was a quite mediocre person in fact. Perhaps he simply got the luck others, before and later, were denied. Everyone has a chance, it's just a matter of communication and timing - so you should get up and write down your own alternative theory, a few examples of such are listed on the sidebar to the right. Who says there are no new Einsteins ? Plenty of new ones are emerging!
