It is heavily promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to mislead people in how they view the world.<ref>See, e.g., historian Paul Johnson's book about the 20th century, and the article written by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe as allegedly assisted by [[Barack Obama]]. Virtually no one who is taught and believes relativity continues to read the Bible, a book that outsells New York Times bestsellers by a hundred-fold. ''Again, this is not true-the disbelievers part, not the outselling Stephanie Meyer part.  There are MANY physicists who are devoutly religious, including many devout Christians.'' </ref>  

 

''The Theory of Relativity is actually about things that do not change, or "invariants."  There are two postulates to Special Relativity:<br />1. The laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames.<br />2. The speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.<br />"Inertial reference frame" refers to the state in which an observer traveling at some velocity without any acceleration finds himself. The term "Relativity" is a rather poor choice for a name, but it's been attached for so long, we're stuck with it.''

 

Here is a list of 28 counterexamples: any one of them shows that the theory is incorrect.

#Increasingly precise measurements of the advance of the perihelion of Mercury show a shift greater than predicted by relativity, well beyond the margin of error.<ref>In a complicated or contrived series of calculations that most physics majors cannot duplicate even after learning them, the theory of general relativity was conformed to match Mercury's then-observed precession of 5600.0 arc-seconds per century. Subsequently, however, more sophisticated technology has measured a different value of this precession (5599.7 arc-seconds per century, with a margin of error of only 0.01), and leading promoters of relativity (such as Professor Clifford Will) have omitted this in listing tests confirming relativity.</ref>
