From an ex-colleague of mine who came first in his year at Physics in Cambridge University: If the message is that western physics is wrong, then everybody will agree, because it is widely accepted that modern physics has not yet found the explanation for the most important phenomena in the universe, and that its major triumphs refer to experiments where the present theories are not tested to their limits. An idea mentioned in the book is that light moves instantaneously, and that it takes time for impressions to reach us.
