Default Lee Smolin 2005: Where Are the Einsteinians?

Lee Smolin 2005: "Where are the Einsteinians? Special relativity was the result of 10 years of intellectual struggle, yet Einstein had convinced himself it was wrong within two years of publishing it." http://www.logosjournal.com/issue_4.3/smolin.htm

What happened in 1907? VoilĂ*:

John Norton: "Already in 1907, a mere two years after the completion of the special theory, he [Einstein] had concluded that the speed of light is variable in the presence of a gravitational field." http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers...UP_TimesNR.pdf

Does "variable in the presence of a gravitational field" entail "variable in gravitation-free space as well"? Nowadays the brainwashed scientific community is unable to answer this question but in 1907 Einstein knew that the answer was "yes".

Lee Smolin asked "Where are the Einsteinians?" in 2005 - the Einsteinian army was still big and bellicose at that time:

Nowadays there is no army - Einsteinians are leaving the sinking ship (they become experts in quantum mechanics, AI, biology etc):
