Page "Dayton Miller" Paragraph 17

William Broad and Nicholas Wade, reporters who wrote Betrayers of the Truth: Fraud in Science ( 1983 ), have stated that scientists should have reviewed Miller's research more seriously at the time, and that their refusal to do so is evidence of incompetence and unprofessional conduct.

Robert Crease argues that it would have been " irrational and unscientific " to suspend Einstein's theory because of a contrary experiment.

In Crease's opinion, this would allow some antiscientific ideologues ( e. g., some Soviet scientists ) to stop progress through falsification.

Relativists discount Miller's repeated attempts to bring relativity theory into question by citing several modern precision experiments, but dissidents have argued in fringe venues that Miller's objections still stand.
