Neither of us have.

I have no faith in Einstein nor in BaT.
I do have a bit of faith in St. Wm of Ockham.

I prayed and asked him if I should believe in sub/superluminal photons,
which have never been demonstrated,
which many experiments have show must travel very close to c if they
travel at a speed that differs from c at all....
or should I believe in a star that is shaped like a bubble in a lava lamp?
I have seen masses act somewhat like the astronomers say that Algol
must act in order for us to see the light curves we see.

I prayed to St. Wm of Ockham and asked which I should believe in.

Believe in neither.
Collect the data.
Verify the data.
Have others verify the data.
Test your theories each day against new data as it comes in.
Test the simplest theories first.
Until falsified, let the theory 'stand' but test it every day.
Leave the testing of equivalent but more complex theories for when
they are needed to explain new data.

Put your faith in no one who claims to know the truth,
for all who claim to KNOW are false gurus.

Put your FAITH in no theory,
for no theory will stand forever.
All theories will eventually be superceeded, even this one.
