What if the dogma of General Relativity was used to hide phenomena that directly contradicts it? To build advanced spacecraft you would need phenomenon which showed you forces and relationships that you didn’t suspect.
Put yourself in 1945 in America. Every person in America had lived within a military state which had achieved total secrecy in multiple scientific fields. No one would dispute this description and most would say it was benign and necessary. Not a peep from the Main Street Media.
Move farther back to April 1st 1939. A force is discovered in gravimeters operated by the Texas Company at multiple latitudes and locations. A force which appears to align with Earth’s direction of motion around the Sun (not absolute motion through the universe). This would invalidate both GR and the Michelson Morley experiment.
In the present, the term inertia is a placeholder. You can calculate it, you can measure it, but no one can tell you what it is. A force that is directed along a masses line of motion would definitely help you explain both inertia and motion.
A group of people had found phenomena that allowed them to build a new theory. A theory which is both more accurate and detailed than GR.
This theory has given them an understanding of gravitation, inertia and motion far beyond what passes for science in the public domain. They had two problems. One had to do with their illegitimate status within their respective governments. The second is that they needed time to develop the technology that this theory predicts.
Science bifurcated in 1945. Public science was dedicated to applying science and making products and money. Public scientific research still continued though it started losing momentum and became distracted and trapped by things like dark matter and string theory. Public science stagnates because it was robbed of the anomalous observations which leads to new science.
