General Relativity

After reading what Conservapedia had to say about E=mc2, I got curious as to what they'd say about general relativity

The theory of relativity has been repeatedly contradicted by experiments [snip] 
It is unlikely tenure or a Ph.D would be awarded to any critic of the theory.

Well the second sentence is true, at least for physics departments.  But according to Wikipedia,

The predictions of general relativity have been confirmed in all observations and experiments to date. 

And if that's not enough for you, consider this: the GPS system has to apply a correction to it's atomic clocks.  These clocks run slower by 7 microseconds per day (because they're moving fast) and faster by 45 microseconds per day (because they're farther from the Earth's gravity).  So the   GPS clocks are tweaked to compensate - if they were on the ground, they'd run 38 microseconds per day slow. (45-7=38)

38 microseconds doesn't sound like much, but without the relativistic tweak, GPS positions would drift off by about 10 km per day.

E=mc2

Have you heard of Conservapedia? It's like Wikipedia for US right-wingers, guaranteed to be their version of politically correct. The article on Einsein's famous formula, E=mc2, is interesting. It says,

In fact, no theory has successfully unified the laws governing mass (i.e., gravity) with the laws governing light (i.e., electromagnetism), and numerous attempts to derive E=mc² in general from first principles have failed. Political pressure,[2] however, has since made it impossible for anyone pursuing an academic career in science to even question the validity of this nonsensical equation. Simply put, E=mc² is liberal claptrap.

As I said, interesting. Are they saying that atomic bombs go BANG by some completely different mechanism, and it's pure coincidence that they produce the exact amount of energy predicted by E=mc2? Or are they saying that atomic bombs don't go BANG at all?

Personally, I think it would be rather difficult to produce a working atomic bomb by relying on "claptrap".
