"Why Mainstream Science Sees No Crisis" is an article by David de Hilster published on 30 July 2018 on Beyond Mainstream.
De Hilster asks why universities and science media never treat the foundational objections to the Big Bang, relativity and quantum mechanics as a crisis, and answers that the reasons are not scientific ones. A young physicist whose intention is to question those theories finds there is no career in it — the money, the jobs and the ordinary need to make a living all point the other way, and the field's silence follows from that rather than from the strength of its case.
