Default THEORETICAL PHYSICS UNRAVELLING

http://www.nature.com/news/scientifi...hysics-1.16535
Scientific method: Defend the integrity of physics, George Ellis, Joe Silk, Nature 516, 321-323 (18 December 2014)

For the moment the string theory and the multiverse are being attacked but these are metastases; soon "the root of all the evil" will have to be eradicated:

http://www.amazon.com/Faster-Than-Sp.../dp/0738205257
Joao Magueijo, Faster Than the Speed of Light, p. 250: "Lee [Smolin] and I discussed these paradoxes at great length for many months, starting in January 2001. We would meet in cafés in South Kensington or Holland Park to mull over the problem. THE ROOT OF ALL THE EVIL WAS CLEARLY SPECIAL RELATIVITY. All these paradoxes resulted from well known effects such as length contraction, time dilation, or E=mc^2, all basic predictions of special relativity. And all denied the possibility of establishing a well-defined border, common to all observers, capable of containing new quantum gravitational effects."
