Controvercies in the field of science.

How would you explain this. Draw an X mark on land . Place a helicopter on that mark & let the chopper go airborne & stay in the position for 90 minutes. If the earth is really rotating on it's axis, the helicopter should not be right above the X mark! But when this experiment was actually done the chopper always remained right above the x mark!!!!! This would take some explaining

I have heard that Einstein's theory of relativity was refuted. Here is an excerpt from a site called wbabin.net - " In Section 22 in his "Relativity" Einstein denounces the validity of the postulate of constancy of the speed of light in a gravitational field: "A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position." This means that, if the position in question is occupied by an observer, this observer will measure a speed of light different from (e.g. greater than) c. The line of argument can be continued by applying the equivalence principle – then it will turn out that the measured speed of light depends on the speed of the observer The discovered falsehood of the fundamental postulate should have made Einstein write extensive papers exploring all the consequences and convincingly explaining why an observer measuring a variable speed of light should nevertheless continue to believe in the theory of relativity. Needless to say, Einstein did not do so. Why? Is only his ethics to blame? " It then goes on to argue about the ethics of scientists.

Take a look in the USA and start talking about evolution. There are those that believe "creative design" should be taught as an alternative theory to the theory of evolution. The fellow who discovered that microbes H.Pylori created stomach ulcers, was ridiculed for his findings. Even over a hundred years ago the doctor who suggested had washing because dirty hands spread disease was ridiculed. It is not even take seriously today as hospital infections continue to spread by workers not washing hands.
