About 50% of people who do not understand the theory of relativity oppose the theory of relativity because the theory of relativity says something they do not understand.
About 90% of people who don’t understand the theory of relativity have not learned basic physics well, and about 10% have never seen the theory of relativity.
People who have truly studied the theory of relativity and are very proficient in basic classical physics basically hold equivalent attitudes, that is, they support both the theory of relativity and classical physics.
In fact, the theory of relativity is just another expression of classical physics. In more popular language, it means changing the frame of reference. Classical physics uses the ether as the absolute reference system, and the theory of relativity uses light as the reference object based on the principle of relativity (different from the reference system, the speed of light is not set to 0, and the reference system must be set to rest).
The principle is that the ether cannot be captured, and classical physics believes that the speed of light relative to the ether is constant, so the speed of light is used to replace the ether.
Many opponents of the theory of relativity focus on the assumption that the speed of light is constant, believing that when the assumption is "false" the conclusion must be "false". People in this category don't even have the most basic knowledge of physics and mathematics. If the hypothesis is "false" then the conclusion must be "false", then there is no science. Because science is a theory based on a series of "assumptions", such as the expression of the law of inertia: "If the net external force on an object is 0, the object will maintain its original state of motion until an external force changes its motion. status". For example, physics questions about free fall motion often give the assumed premise "ignore air resistance", that is, assuming that there is no resistance in the air. Obviously many premises or assumptions are "false". If the premise is "false", the conclusion will be "false". , then it is almost impossible to study and express the laws of nature.
The theory of relativity takes the speed of light as a premise and has nothing to do with whether the speed of light changes or does not change. This is the best way to avoid the speed of light problem. On the contrary, classical physics really needs to solve the problem of whether the speed of light will change.
At present, many people who oppose the theory of relativity have discovered after in-depth research that to oppose the theory of relativity, classical physics must be overthrown. Just go to some forums that oppose the theory of relativity and you will know. After repeated discussions, more and more people who oppose the theory of relativity have proposed that classical physics must be overturned, otherwise the theory of relativity cannot be overturned.
Similarly to the proposal to drive the theory of relativity out of China, classical physics must be driven out of China at the same time. In other words, science must be driven out of China.
Add another sentence, driving science and technology out of China is not an academic issue, but an ideological issue.
