"Regarding higher education, a third of Britain's university physics departments have closed in the last few years."
The following principle is attributed to Joseph Stalin:
Joseph Stalin: "Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem."
Science authorities' principle: "Department closure is the solution to all problems. No department - no problem."
The analogy between Joseph Stalin and science authorities will be completely understood after careful examination of this paper:

Peter Hayes "The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the Clock Paradox" : Social Epistemology, Volume 23, Issue 1 January 2009, pages 57-78
"The gatekeepers of professional physics in the universities and research institutes are disinclined to support or employ anyone who raises problems over the elementary inconsistencies of relativity. A winnowing out process has made it very difficult for critics of Einstein to achieve or maintain professional status. Relativists are then able to use the argument of authority to discredit these critics. Were relativists to admit that Einstein may have made a series of elementary logical errors, they would be faced with the embarrassing question of why this had not been noticed earlier. Under these circumstances the marginalisation of antirelativists, unjustified on scientific grounds, is eminently justifiable on grounds of realpolitik. Supporters of relativity theory have protected both the theory and their own reputations by shutting their opponents out of professional discourse."
