George Orwell: "In the end the Party would announce that two and two
made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that
they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their
position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the
very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their
philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was
terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise,
but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two
and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the
past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist
only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?"

Then believers are invited to discuss related questions, for instance:

"When did Big Brother discover that 2+2=5?".

Destruction of human rationality in Einsteiniana's schizophrenic
world. First the lie ("The Michelson-Morley experiment confirmed
Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate") is established:

"On July 22 the Einstein Papers Project, located at the California
Institute of Technology in Pasadena, will release the 12th volume of
letters written or received by Albert Einstein - 791 of them - plus
transcripts of several notable lectures and interviews the physicist
gave, covering the year 1921. It was a momentous 12 months.You might
think there are no new revelations to be made about him, but for
Einstein groupies the current volume addresses at least one key
question: what did Einstein know about an 1887 experiment that
discovered that the speed of light is invariant, regardless of the
observer's speed or direction of motion - an idea that forms the core
of special relativity and that Einstein did not mention when he laid
out the theory of special relativity in a 1905 paper? Called the
Michelson-Morley experiment, it disproved the existence of the ether,
a substance once thought to carry light waves and form an absolute
reference frame for space. In their namesake experiment, Albert
Michelson (a physicist who won the Nobel Prize in 1907) and Edward
Morley (a chemist) showed that the speed of light is always the same
(now known to be 186,282 miles per second) relative to stationary
observers as well as moving ones. Nothing but light has this property:
if you are approaching a car that's moving 30 miles per hour, and
you're moving 30mph as well, the approaching car appears to be coming
at you at 60 mph. Not so with light. If you are traveling at the speed
of light, designated c, toward a light beam moving directly toward
you, it appears to be approaching at c, not 2c."

Then believers are invited to discuss related questions, for instance:

"Where did Einstein get the idea that the speed of light is invariant,
the key claim of special relativity (which also asserts that motion
causes objects to contract and time to slow down, both of which depend
on the speed of light remaining the same even for observers in
motion)? In his autobiography, he recalled how, at age 16, he imagined
riding on a light beam to chase another light beam, and realizing that
his quarry would move at the speed of light, unchanged by his own
motion relative to it. Einstein was born in 1879, and so would have
been 16 in 1895, eight years after the Michelson-Morley experiment.
It's highly unlikely that a teenager with no connection to the world
of science would have heard about the experiment by then; the real
question is whether he knew of it before 1905, when he was 26 and
putting the finishing touches on special relativity."
