Abhas Mitra, at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai, was perhaps the first and the only scientist who had the guts to openly challenge Hawking of Cambridge University who is regarded by many as the modern-day Einstein.

When was Einstein EVER so supremely wrong in his field as Hawking has been, TWICE?

First on the string theory thing (I forget exact details), now on this.

Cosmological Constant. Einstein inserted a fudge factor in an equation to make it match some observations that were later found to be incorrect. Woopsie!
