"Half the results published in peer-reviewed scientific journals are probably wrong.
John Ioannidis, now a professor of medicine at Stanford, made headlines with that claim in 2005.
Since then, researchers have confirmed his skepticism by trying—and often failing—to reproduce many influential journal articles.
Slowly, scientists are internalizing the lessons of this irreproducibility crisis."

medical research, not physics.

"Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is
misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. So why are doctors—to
a striking extent—still drawing upon misinformation in their
everyday practice? Dr. John Ioannidis has spent his career
challenging his peers by exposing their bad science."
Dr. Ioannidis is a good example of how to operate as a contrarian
in a scientific discipline. He actually does the research to test
the results of others. he has uncovered incompetence and fraud.
His approach is a welcome contrast to the claims of many
in this group who fail to research and understand the topics
that they proclaim as wrong.
Thankfully Physics usually is tested and retested.
Much harder to hide fraud in physics.
Enjoy.

First you need dogmas, that are blatantly wrong, but absolutely
untouchable.
E.g. I'm a proponent of the so called 'Growing Earth' hypothesis. I have
actually spent years on that subject and have written hundreds of
messages to various forums. But my arguments are always rejected, since
'it cannot be true, because it violates the laws'.
To question the 'laws' itself is prohibited and once a professional
does, he will almost certainly loose his job.
Other 'law' is 'the universal speed limit of c'.
Someone found, that neutrinos travel faster than c (and subsequently got
fired).
We have also the Russian Podclednov, who found certain gravitational
effects from spinning super-conductive rings (got banned and fired).
(This goes on and on and on...)

No, to say that "it violates the laws" is to say that the theory

Einstein was a promoter of Zionism and a Jew, but not a Semite.

Einstein was a German and born in Ulm.
'Semites' are people, that live in the middle east. You could (somehow)
translate this terms with 'Arabs' (what Einstein wasn't).
Zionism is also not predominately Jewish, since Judaism is a religion
and Zionism a political movement.
Main supporters of this movement have not been Jews (or Semites). E.g.
Winston Churchill was a supporter of Zionism and he was not particularly
religious.
The connection between ethnic groups, political movement and religion is
actually more difficult than you think.
In a way Islam, Christianity and Judaism belong actually the same
believe system called 'monotheism'.
A German historian named Karl Heinz Ohlig had found out, that the early
Islam was a variant of the 'per-Nicean' Syrian Christianity, called
'Arianism'.
The Arabs adopted this believe after they conquered the city Merv in the
empire of the Sassanides. The Arians had kind of Messias (prophet), who
belonged to the Jewish sect of the Essenes, who live in Qumran at the
Dead Sea.
This prophet had the Aramaic title 'Mahmed', which means 'the one to be
praised'.
That guy got later the Greek name 'Iesos', which later morphed into 'Jesus'.
The Arabs translated the Qumran scripts into Arabic around 830 and
changed 'Mahmed' to 'Mohammed' (and added a few centuries).
So all these religions are in fact only one, but had been altered in
many ways by the rulers in the various Empires involved.
The Romans fused they local pantheon into the early Christian believe,
which in the beginning was a variant of Judaism. Out came what we call
'Catholicism'.
Against the early Christians ('Arians') revolted and were therefore
prosecuted by the Romans.
They fled from Syria along the Silk Road to the Empire of the Sassanides
and settled in Merv, which was then the largest city in the World.

Islam from the "Koran", and they are completely different.
