Have you visited www.crank.net?

They have an entire category called Einstein Was Wrong.

Most of the websites referenced there are so obviously loony, even a non-scientist like myself can see it.

Others are produced by people with engineering degrees and even physics Ph.D's, and in these cases it is impossible for me to determine why they are crackpots. For example Tom van Flandern.

Thanks for the pointer: I've never heard of this one before.

A brief look makes me reach the same conclusion as you did. Pure waste of time.

Consider statemets such as this:

"More than an intuitive nonsense, Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity, it would seem, legitimised a century of stupidity. Sound like a person with a great deal of ambition who has failed calculus in college.

Or this:

The physics that was taught in the 20th century was supposedly based on Einstein. In fact this is not the case, there was a conspiracy against Einstein and his theory was replaced by the physics establishment in 1925/ 1926 by a false theory that is still called Einstein’s theory. The conspiracy started before World War II, and was maintained after the war because of Cold War tensions of wanting to keep atomic secrets from the Russians, and after that it evolved into a doctrine that prevents certain experimental research being carried out that can prove the 1925 theory as being wrong.

Does it not look like not-so-mild case of paranoia?
