The myth that Jeremy Dunning-Davies sets out to explode is the belief that science is an impartial search for truth untainted by precommitments and prejudice, and free from the influences of professional politics and social dynamics. Not all topics are open for free discussion. No-one, the author argues, in today's prestige-seeking and funding-driven climate, can openly raise questions about Einsteinian relativity, dispute the Big Bang theory cosmology, or the existence of black holes, all of which are treated with the assurance of being established fact rather than issues over which some extremely capable and qualified people have expressed serious concerns.
