Einstein the salesman

Erik, being a good salesman does allow you to create a theory that is largely untestable, and that is going to be very, very difficult to test conclusively, in the foreseeable future. And, if the theory explains something very, very inconvenient for the entire field — light travelling as a waveform in a vacuum — people in the field will jump at the opportunity to fabricate evidence for it. Einstein knew people, and how to play them. People like you, Erik.
