Freedom of Science

Clifford Johnson, a physicist, teaches in a course that gravity does not exist:

 There simply is no gravity.

Then when he teaches Newtonian mechanics he tells his students that gravity is an experimentally proved quantity.

Does gravity exist in one classroom and not in another? What happened to the consistency of laws of physics in every reference frame? How can we trust physicists to tell us the state of gravity 12 billion years ago when they cannot agree on the state of gravity in the same building now?

In any scientific field this state of polemical sophistry will be unacceptable. One way or another, Professor Johnson is lying to his students to indoctrinate them with Newtonist religion. Professionals in other fields have been reprimended and lost their licenses for much lesser offences against science than this.

How long can we afford to keep physics an unregulated religion indoctrinating students with British Newtonism?
