My, my, my! Such vehemence! I guess we have discovered someone that
does not know that it is the THEORY (hint: !law) of Relativity. 

I thought that one of the basics of the scientific method was that
theories can (and must) be changed to fit newly discovered facts.
If something is discovered that contradict the THEORY, the theory
must be changed to cover the fact. ALL you can say is that the
theory appears to describe reality fairly well.
