What if the experiments that supposedly “proved” relativity… didn’t?


In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robert Bennett — a physicist who spent decades inside mainstream academia teaching Einstein’s general relativity — to walk through the data that pushed him into full-blown dissent. These aren’t fringe ideas or speculative theories. We’re talking about the foundational experiments that shaped modern physics: Michelson–Morley, the Sagnac effect, Airy’s findings, and the behavior of light in different media. Bennett explains why these results never actually aligned with the narrative textbooks insist on, and how later interpretations were engineered to keep the model intact.


We explore the deeper tension underneath the science: the commitment to a worldview that insists humanity cannot occupy a privileged position in the cosmos. Bennett argues that the Copernican principle functions less like an inference and more like a dogma — and when experimental results contradict it, the results get reframed, ignored, or buried. His critique isn’t emotional or conspiratorial; it’s a sober, technical walk through data that refuses to fit the prevailing cosmology.


From aether theories to Newton’s bucket to the “axis of evil” in the cosmic microwave background, this conversation opens a door into questions most of us never realized were on the table. Whether you agree, disagree, or simply want to think more critically about the experiments behind modern physics, this is a discussion worth sitting with.


You’ll Learn:


[00:00:00] Introduction

[00:11:41] The moment that sparked questioning the very foundations of relativity

[00:13:53] What the Michelson Morley experiment actually showed, and how it was misinterpreted and used to reify relativity

[00:25:59] The experiments beyond Michelson-Morley that prove aether exists and Earth doesn't rotate

[00:34:31] Newton’s bucket, inertial frames, and Mach’s competing explanation

[00:46:15] Why the cosmic microwave background's "axis of evil" points directly to Earth

[00:53:28] Why Airy's "failure" was actually a success in falsifying heliocentrism

[01:04:11] The nuanced difference between geocentrism and geostatism, and why neither requires a flat Earth

[01:21:57] Why GPS had to be engineered around relativity, not built on it

[01:33:13] What is aether and what is the alpha model?

[01:37:07] What Hildegard of Bingen's medieval vision reveals about Earth's central role in creation

[02:01:30] The profound connection between aether, consciousness, and the nature of God

[02:11:26] When coincidences become evidence of something beyond the physical

[02:14:09] Long-buried artifacts and texts are emerging at this critical moment in history
