General Relativity is a turkey?

The comments herein are VASTLY incomplete! They would be far better (still vastly incomplete) if I could find extensive old notes.

I first posted this theme in my review of the ?2012 Natural Philosophy Society conference, Maryland. Over the preding years (from ~2007, I had started to look much more closely at relativitiy, nevenr having worked with it, and never have being particularly convinced, as it seemed to be self-contradictory to me, and possibly un-necessary.
From my self-imposed practice of "Multiple conflicting hypothesis" (MCH), I am NOT throwing out the theory of General, Special] relativity! MCH REQUIRES the retention of dominant scientific theories from history. But it also REQUIRE alternative concepts! Nor am I a fan of many alternative explanations. One important example is ether theory, but I have to admit that some models of ether (eg electromagnetic field based, maybe others) do pose interesting concepts. But I will have to do much more digging here.

I added added more comments for "Howell - review of Holverstott 2016 Hydrino energy".

GR & QM have been highly successful theories for [modelling data, making predictions, applications] QM (and quantum chromodynamics etc) as the "most successful scientific theory in history". But they are perhaps less-than satisfactory theories for [describing, explaining] [structure, phenomena, ??]

It seems to me that there is a [broad, deep, persistent] basis that questions the [honesty, competence] of essentially all physicists is continually questioned by looking at their historical performance (see "Lies, damned lies, and scientists)". One can always play with [frameworks, assumptions, changeable and inconsistent interpretations, statistics, small world universal function approximators] and get whatever answer you want. This approach is something that GR & QM scientists seem to excel at.

Interferometer experiments

Famous 1919 solar eclipse and the anomalouss bending of light from Mercury by the sun

1919 solar eclipse observations by ?not Shapley but ? modern mercury data does NOT fit GR!
  • Atomic clock experiments
  • Radiation reaction & Mossbauer effect
  • Tanjential velocities of stars in spiral galaxies as a function of radius from the galactic core - This isn't actually a GR problem, it's more of a Newtonian gravity problem!!
    I have to find old notes on :
    Mossbauer results
    Radiation reaction


    [GR, QM] theory busting data? ...


    The speed of light in a vacuum (c) has gone down ~1.5% over ~300 years?

    In ?1977?, the physics community simply SET the value of c, and ongoing experimental determinations are simply not reported and discussed! We are currently in a period of an "flat" trend of c with time that is perhaps predictable from the trend over past 3 centuries, but this may not be the case over the oncoming [decades, century]? (14Dec2020 - as with the rest of this webnPage and that of Quantum mechanics, I have reat deal of [detail, data, analysis] from references to add at some time in the future).

    If correct, this data KILLS General relativity (GR) AND Quantum Mechanics (QM)!!! I have every confidence that "convoluted band-aid [mathematics, concepts]" can easily patch over the problem, as has consistently been done in the past, but that probably won't rescue the theories for me.

    References :

    While involving only rare [scientists, amateurs, writers], there is a very substantial base and serious of criticism of GR & QM. I ceertainly don't expect all of these to be solid, and perhaps none are. But they do THINK about the anomalies in the [data, experiments, concepts, theories,
