Criticism of the theory of relativity

Criticism of the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein was mainly expressed in the early years after its publication in the early twentieth century, on scientific, pseudoscientific, philosophical, or ideological bases.^{[A 1]}^{[A 2]}^{[A 3]} Though some of these criticisms had the support of reputable scientists, Einstein's theory of relativity is now accepted by the scientific community.^[1]

Reasons for criticism of the theory of relativity have included alternative theories, rejection of the abstract-mathematical method, and alleged errors of the theory. According to some authors, antisemitic objections to Einstein's Jewish heritage also occasionally played a role in these objections.^{[A 1]}^{[A 2]}^{[A 3]} There are still some critics of relativity today, but their opinions are not shared by the majority in the scientific community.^{[A 4]}^{[A 5]}
