"Universities Are Failing at Science Education" is an article by David de Hilster published on 25 August 2017 on Beyond Mainstream.
De Hilster proposes a test: approach a physics department with a proposal to demonstrate Einstein wrong, or to write a thesis arguing the Big Bang is mistaken. He holds the answer is refusal in every department on Earth, and expulsion for anyone who presses. Making the documentary Einstein Wrong had shown him how little of this the public knows — audiences regularly told him they had never heard of any problems in mainstream physics at all.
