List of Critics of Relativity:
[snip excessively long list, mostly nonsense]
Addition to the list of critics:
Robert H. Dicke
"Gravitation without a Principle of Equivalence" Rev. Mod. Phys. 29, 363, 1957
I learned of him recently from Unzicker:
"The Greatest Problem of Cosmology is Solved" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGpjGVNVYEg
That is -not- criticism, in the way reasonable people use the word.
It is the beginning of a proposal for an alternative theory of gravity. (exploring the possibility that the energies
of the recently discovered weak interactions
might behave differently under gravity)
This developed into what is now called
the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity.
This theory is fine, as a physical theory,
but it strongly disagrees with experiment.
If not completely false, it could at best provide
a very small correction to general relativity,
