Why not enjoy the website of one of your "heretic" colleagues, Dr. Paul Marmet. Be careful though. You wouldn't want to think for yourself, when it is so much more comfortable to conform to the textbooks and magisters.

"Ce n’est pas ton bureau que nous voulons, ton problème est que tu remets en question les principes fondamentaux de la physique." - "We do not want your office, your problem is that you keep questioning the fundamental principles of physics." (Dr. Bela Joos, a few months before the termination of Dr. Marmet from the university of Ottawa for Physics Heresy)

"... this shows that physics is not a science: It is a doctrine. Therefore, there are heretics. How different is it from Galileo’s time?" (Dr. Marmet)

Come again another day, boys.

I'm sure I could go through that website and refute every one of this guy's claims, point by point, without breaking a sweat. It would take weeks, though, and at the end of it you'd find another site (or a dozen, or a thousand), and say, "OK, well what about this one?" There'd never be an end to it. It's a fool's errand.

But here's something that should give you pause: if there were a (more) simple explanation for the phenomena explained by relativity, and if relativity were trivially wrong, don't you think that the relativity "heretics" would hit upon the same explanation? But they never do! If they could come up with some sort of agreement amongst themselves, perhaps I could understand why a layman might find the idea compelling. As it stands now, there are as many heresies as there are heretics.
