The Ministry of Silly Walks (Einstein Criminal Cult) seems to suspect
brothers relativists of discovering no new exciting silly walks and
just endlessly sucking huge sums of money:

Did Einstein get all his sums right? It has taken 45 years and £390m,
but now one of the foundations of physics is being tested at last....
Sir Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal, said: "The project's a
technical triumph, and a triumph of the persistence and lobbying power
of Stanford University. But its gestation has been grotesquely
prolonged, and the cost overruns have been equally gross. I recall
hearing a talk about the project from Francis Everitt (principal
investigator) when I was still a student - and it was already well
advanced. "Back in the 1960s the evidence for Einstein's theory was
meagre - just two tests, with 10 per cent precision. But relativity is
now confirmed by several tests, with precision of one part in 10,000.
It's still, in principle, good to have new and different tests. But
the level of confidence in Einstein's theory is now so high that an
announcement of the expected result will 'fork no lightening'.
"Moreover, if there's an unexpected result, I suspect most people will
suspect an error in this very challenging experiment rather than
immediately abandon Einstein: There's now so much evidence
corroborating Einstein, that a high burden of proof is required before
he'll be usurped by any rival theory. "So the most exciting - if un-
alluring - outcome of Gravity Probe B would be a request by Stanford
University for another huge sum of money to repeat it."

Did you expect anydifferent?.... Thanks for the laughs... ahahaha... ahahanson
