Discovery's Doppelgänger
RSR likes to think of himself as a sophisticated man of the world. Someone who's been around the block. A person who know what's what.
Then, we were introduced to a world we never knew existed.
Yesterday, we posted a short item -- nothing more than a link, really -- to an online video and website that claims Einstein's theory of relativity, like Darwin's theory of evolution, is not only wrong, but the product of a dark, dark conspiracy.
We had no idea that the Discovery Institute has a doppelgänger complete with its own demands to teach the controversy and "scientists" who doubt Einstein.
Fortunately, John Farrell has written the whole spooky history. It's fascinating. You can find it here on Salon.
