I just started The Three-Body Problem and have really been enjoying so far. That being said, the first chapter takes place during a struggle session at a university, where a professor is accused of reactionary thought by teaching Einstein’s theory of relativity and the Big Bang Theory by his own accord in an intro physics class.

Is there any historical truth to this sort of backlash, and if so, why? I’m no physicist, but I don’t understand how ToR/BBT contradict dialectical materialism.

Wasn’t Lysenko partially rehabilitated later, especially by Chinese scientists working on his ideas? And accusations of causing the downfall of his colleagues were entirely bull? Still not a figure to wholesalely defend but i wouldn’t call him “charlatan”.
