Ep 207: Aether Above, Earth Below: Rethinking Our Place in the Universe with Dr. Robert Bennett

In this episode, Alec sits 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.
