[Secret Agent Man]

imagine defending certain ways of physics for decades, building a career on it, and then finding fundamentally it’s just wrong.

can you see why academic inertia, scientific inertia/momentum really goes against actual discoveries that threaten their existing worldviews?

Its the same with every field of “science”. Often they bury and hammer down, threaten loss of labs/tenure/work to those whose work goes against “established” science.
