Mainstream censors non-mainstream, hence for half a century we are staying in place e.g. quantum gravity, there are appearing new problems ...

The paper claims there are problems already with g-factor, could anybody explain why its objections are not valid?

Crank science is easy to separate from non-mainstream approaches. Crank science is "everybody is selling nobody is buying" business. There are no physicists inside *or* outside mainstream who buy Consa's crank theories.

(I explained why the narrative is not valid in another comment).

One can get grants in physics nearly only if being mainstream ...

Consa brings concrete arguments regarding g-factor, I still haven't seen any concrete explanation, only saying that it is fringe science because of criticism of mainstream ... but he quotes mainstream papers.
