Imagine the repercussions of admitting that a cornerstone of their cosmological model was false? That'd be trillions in reaserch money down the toilet. A century of "discoveries" crap.
yeah, that's not how science works.
Imagine for example, that they found conclusively that the speed of light varies. The "c" in every equation for every single experiment would need to be recalculated retroactively.
