Conscientious physicists know that fundamental physics is dead but believe that it was once great:

Peter Woit: "...as seems increasingly all too possible, we're now at an endpoint of fundamental physics, with the field killed off by a pseudo-scientific argument..." http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=9444

Peter Woit: "This is unfortunately now an all too common example of what passes for “Sci Comm” in much of the field of fundamental physics: endless repetition of old discredited arguments in favor of a failed theory, coupled with pretending not to know about what is wrong with these arguments. The field that was once one of the greatest examples of the power of the human mind and the strength of the scientific method has become something very different and quite dangerous: all-too-visible ammunition for those who want to make the case that scientists are as deluded and tribalistic as anyone else, so not to be trusted." https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=11857

Actually, any insane ideology, and Einstein's is no exception, passes through a stage of "greatness" - it is in this period when minds' immune system gets completely destroyed.

Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light falsehood (more precisely, nonsense) that killed physics:

Space and time were forced to merge into a preposterous "spacetime", to fit the nonsensical constancy, and physics died (today exists as a farce/ideology).

John Stachel: "But this seems to be nonsense. How can it happen that the speed of light relative to an observer cannot be increased or decreased if that observer moves towards or away from a light beam? Einstein states that he wrestled with this problem over a lengthy period of time, to the point of despair." http://www.aip.org/history/exhibits/...relativity.htm

"Special relativity is based on the observation that the speed of light is always the same, independently of who measures it, or how fast the source of the light is moving with respect to the observer. Einstein demonstrated that as an immediate consequence, space and time can no longer be independent, but should rather be considered a new joint entity called "spacetime." http://community.bowdoin.edu/news/20...rs-of-gravity/
