George Orwell "1984": "In the end the Party would announce that two
and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable
that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their
position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the
very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their
philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was
terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise,
but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two
and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the
past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist
only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?"

If Stephen Hawking, Lee Smolin and Albert Einstein were Big Brother's
scientists, they would criticize old science in the following way:

Stephen Hawking: Old science wrongly assumes that 2+2=4; in fact 2+2=0

Lee Smolin: Old science wrongly assumes that 2+2=0; in fact 2+2=5

Albert Einstein: Old science wrongly assumes that 2+2=4; in fact 2+2=5

The scientific community would again agree with all three of Big
Brother's scientists, only Prolls would be allowed to disagree but
they wouldn't because in Big Brother's world there is enough "cheap
pornography to keep the Prolls happy".
