"Pioneering Introduction to the Social Revolution in Science" is a review by Harry Hamlin Ricker published on 26 April 2015 on Beyond Mainstream — the earliest article on the site.
Ricker treats David de Hilster's documentary Einstein Wrong — The Miracle Year as the record of a social movement the mainstream press ignores: ordinary people wanting to understand the world for themselves. He reads the film as posing a philosophical question rather than a physical one — whether to accept truth handed down by experts backed by titles, money and government, or to trust one's own reading of the world as actually experienced — and notes it answers as a humanist would.
