"Could the Next Einstein Be a Surfer Dude? Six iconoclasts who could
revolutionize physics--again....4. Giovanni Amelino-Camelia: 42,
University of Rome-Sapienza, Italy. Body of work: His "doubly special
relativity" posits that the supposedly constant speed of light
actually depends on its wavelength and that space has a minimum
distance. His theory could unify physics and help explain the early
growth of the universe, but experimental proof seems to be a tall
order. Einsteinian trait: Rejects accepted physics on the basis of
logic arguments."

Next Einstein Giovanni Amelino-Camelia: "Galileo-Newton theory was
superseded by Einstein's theory of special relativity, but, after a
century of success, that too is now being questioned."
Einstein's idiocies should have been questioned and refuted in 1907:

"Einstein's Legacy -- Where are the "Einsteinians?", Lee Smolin:
"Quantum theory was not the only theory that bothered Einstein. Few
people have appreciated how dissatisfied he was with his own theories
of relativity. Special relativity grew out of Einstein's insight that
the laws of electromagnetism cannot depend on relative motion and that
the speed of light therefore must be always the same, no matter how
the source or the observer moves. Among the consequences of that
theory are that energy and mass are equivalent (the now-legendary
relationship E = mc2) and that time and distance are relative, not
absolute. SPECIAL RELATIVITY WAS THE RESULT OF 10 YEARS OF
INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE, YET EINSTEIN HAD CONVINCED HIMSELF IT WAS WRONG
WITHIN TWO YEARS OF PUBLISHING IT."

"What Can We Learn about the Ontology of Space and Time from the
Theory of Relativity?", John D. Norton: "In general relativity there
is no comparable sense of the constancy of the speed of light. The
constancy of the speed of light is a consequence of the perfect
homogeneity of spacetime presumed in special relativity. There is a
special velocity at each event; homogeneity forces it to be the same
velocity everywhere. We lose that homogeneity in the transition to
general relativity and with it we lose the constancy of the speed of
light. Such was Einstein's conclusion at the earliest moments of his
preparation for general relativity. ALREADY IN 1907, A MERE TWO YEARS
AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE SPECIAL THEORY, HE HAD CONCLUDED THAT THE
SPEED OF LIGHT IS VARIABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF A GRAVITATIONAL FIELD."
