Indeed. The counter argument though is that maths tends not to lie and just imagine the kudos of being the physicist who successfully corrects Einstein.I absolutely get this. I've been passionate about such things since I was a teen, but still live for the day that Einstein and the speed of light speed limit are proved to be wrong / a misunderstanding. Mainly because of the limit it puts on space travel, but also I feel the universe should be a bit more straight forward / Newtonian than all that. I get cynical that, seemingly, every time sone evidence crops up to disprove Einstein, then a bunch of physicists (whose livelihoods and reputations are based on him) dream up yet another dimension to the universe just so that it carries on working, theoretically, via the maths.
Infuriating!
Don't think we're gonna see Star Trek in our lifetimes. Just arsehole billionaires blowing unimaginable amounts of wealth on bouncing around the exosphere to stroke their own ego.
