"Has Einstein failed physics? The GBP3.6bn Large Hadron Collider is
one of world's most advanced scientific experiments, built to smash
protons together at huge speeds, recreating conditions moments after
the Big Bang. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Now a new paper by a
North East academic presents the intriguing possibility that the Large
Hadron Collider didn't work not because of mechanical failure, but
because basic theories of physics may be wrong. Dr Peter Hayes says:
'Theoretical physicists have been barking up the wrong tree for the
last hundred years - because Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is
inconsistent.....Dr Peter Hayes is senior lecturer in politics at the
University of Sunderland. In his latest paper 'The Ideology of
Relativity' Dr Hayes 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.....The amazing thing about Einstein's theory of relativity is
that it has kept going. It is built on contradictions, but these very
contradictions means that almost anything 'proves' that it is right.
It is a bit like a theory where you say 1 + 1 = 2, but also that 1+ 1
= 3.....'The triumph of relativity theory represents the triumph of
ideology not only in the profession of physics but also in the
philosophy of science.'  'The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the
Clock Paradox,' appeared in Social Epistemology, January 2009."
