There are several times in the history of physics where the truth and the dogma split:

1. MM experiment (luminiferous ether)
2. Bohmian mechanics
3. Cold Fusion

There may be others I am not remembering, or haven't heard of, but these three stand out because I have studied each to one degree or another (as a basis for this conversation, one of my undergrad degrees is in physics. I have a few graduate courses in physics and self study. I am not a physics PhD).

MM experiment:

They never showed that the ether didn't exist. They only showed that there was no apparent movement of the earth relative to a non-moving (universally stationary) grid in which light would hypothetically propagate. In truth, both quantum mechanics and general relativity are based on the other concepts of an ether (a physical medium of which the universe is constructed). Many (all?) modern theories use this concept of an "empty space" medium. They aren't allowed to call it an "ether" because dogma doesn't allow it.

Bohmian mechanics:

This is an idea that a particle exists in just one place (not spread out) and is carried through space on a physical wave (the spread out part) in the spacetime medium (ether). It is a non-local theory, but in all other ways is compliant with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics with compatible mathematical models (within the scope of my study of it). Complaints about where it is incompatible are, to my knowledge, based only in area's in which work has not been done. All places where work has been done in this theory of QM have been fruitful. For reasons I never understood, it was basically forbidden to look too deeply into this model of QM: dogma didn't allow it.

Cold Fusion

It was the overwhelming amount of evidence for cold fusion that inspired me to get a degree in physics. I couldn't believe how much evidence there was that was not allowed to be talked about. These were really good experiments, and there were thousands of them, done underground all around the world by real physicists. No one was allowed to go public with their information. When they did go public their funding for other projects was removed. No one could get funding anywhere for this research. It was one of those physics "conspiracy theories."

All three of these puzzled me my whole life (after studying them). When I would inquire with other physicists, they would always tell me the same basic thing, "There's nothing to see there, don't waste your time." I would respond with, "But what about x, y, and z." They would respond with something like "You will never get anywhere in physics with that type of [non-ministry approved] attitude."

I always thought these things happened because of a persons propensity to hold on to ones beliefs over the difficulties of an earnest search for truth. It wasn't until recently that I came to understand the other forces in the world that have asserted and maintained control of our "truth." It hasn't just been this way for the past couple centuries, but forever. I think where we will go after the GA will be truly something to behold.
