Default WASTING MONEY IN EINSTEIN'S SCHIZOPHRENIC WORLD

http://www.news.ucsb.edu/2013/013823...oning-einstein
University of California Santa Barbara, December 10, 2013: "Could Einstein's theory of relativity be wrong? That's among the burning questions being asked by theoretical physicists today. It's a startling claim and one that has received a lot of attention from other scientists. Researchers from UC Santa Barbara's Department of Physics and the Kavli Institute for Theretical Physics (KITP) have received a $1.32 million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to continue their work on finding an answer."

Mark Srednicki and Joseph Polchinski have given no answer but still have happily wasted the money:

Default WASTING MONEY IN EINSTEIN'S SCHIZOPHRENIC WORLD

One of the biggest money wasting organizations in Einstein's schizophrenic world is FQXi - it should be renamed MFF (Money For Friends). The boss, Max Tegmark, likes to organize contests that have nothing to do with physics, and the money often goes to Sabine Hossenfelder because she knows how the save the world:
