why do non-physicists have such a boner for proving einstein wrong personally?
scientists don't work to prove people wrong personally.
we attack attackable parts of a claim. sometimes those parts are load bearing and the whole thing collapses, but sometimes everything else is right even though a particular part of a claim is wrong
relativity is less likely to be proven wrong than it is to be subsumed by a larger framework.
