From the news:

"Perhaps tellingly Dr Peter Hayes is senior lecturer in politics - not 
physics. In his latest paper he argues that Albert Einstein's theory of 
relativity - perhaps the most famous scientific theory in history - 
should be viewed as an ideology, not as a science. He argues that its 
impact on popular culture and science has been so influential precisely 
because as a scientific theory it doesn't actually make sense."
