I think [[User:Dossas]] was right in having the article say what it is before criticizing it. Most pages on science have at least a sentence or two, at the beginning, saying what the subject is.
I have moved the bulk of the criticism (Louis Essen, etc.) up a few paragraphs. The link to his article ''The Special Theory of Relativity: A Critical Analysis'' was a dead link, but I found two other links that are equally fiery. And I put the "wouldn't get tenure" line into a better contextual place. That is, in with the paragraph about Essen. In fact, his ''Relativity and Time Signals'' paper has a quote at the top: "The theory is so rigidly held that young scientists dare not openly express their doubts" that you might want to put in, illustrating the "wouldn't get tenure" line. Though I haven't done that.
