A few years ago a serious analysis of the foundations of
thermodynamics produced the conclusion that the law of entropy
increase is actually a RED HERRING:

Jos Uffink: Bluff your Way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics

If such a radical criticism had been published 40-50 years ago, the
reaction of the establishment would have ben both energetic and
hostile (remember Herbert Dingle's saga for instance). In 2001 there
was no reaction, except for a few vague positive(!) references.

A few months ago another serious analysis produced the conclusion that
Einstein's relativity is an ideology, not a science:

Peter Hayes: The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the Clock
Paradox

Again the reaction is silence: no hostility coming from the
establishment. The feature of Postscientism (generally, it is a
feature of Postmodernism) that explains this state of affairs consists
in the fact that official science has adopted ALL possible
alternatives and so has become unassailable. Just an example of
"radical heresy" advanced by official science that discourages any
genuine criticism:

Paul Davies: "Was Einstein wrong? Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 is
the only scientific formula known to just about everyone. The "c" here
stands for the speed of light. It is one of the most fundamental of
the basic constants of physics. Or is it? In recent years a few
maverick scientists have claimed that the speed of light might not be
constant at all. Shock, horror! Does this mean the next Great
Revolution in Science is just around the corner?"
