    Einsteinians Mark Srednicki and Joseph Polchinski were given a $1.32 million grant to say whether Einstein was wrong: https://www.news.ucsb.edu/2013/013823/questioning-einstein

    They found the joke extremely amusing, laughed breathlessly, took the money and said that Einstein was not wrong:

    How much money have Einsteinians wasted, starting with, say, Eddington's fraudulent confirmations of general relativity and ending with LIGO's discoveries of nonexistent gravitational waves?

    Who needs money to prove Einstein was wrong. Even Hubble
    knew he was wrong. But Hubble couldn’t admit that Alberts photon theory, where
    light could not lose energy/frequency over distance, was wrong. But by then Albert was a Nobel prize winner and refuting Alberts nonsense was bad for
    your career.

    Looks like in 1929 Hubble knew “expansion” was not real. He just couldn’t attribute
    it to a failure of Einsteins photon model. Because Albert was just too famous to
    challenge.

    Fact is then and now if you want to keep your job...dont tell your boss that his
    best friends are idiots.

    “Hubble concluded that his observed log N(m) distribution showed a large departure from Euclidean geometry, provided that the effect of redshifts on the apparent magnitudes was calculated as if the redshifts were due to a real expansion. A different
    correction is required if no motion exists, the redshifts then being due to an unknown cause. Hubble believed that his count data gave a more reasonable result concerning spatial curvature if the redshift correction was made assuming no recession. To the
    very end of his writings he maintained this position, favouring (or at the very least keeping open) the model where no true expansion exists, and therefore that the redshift "represents a hitherto unrecognized principle of nature". This viewpoint is
    emphasized (a) in The Realm of the Nebulae, (b) in his reply (Hubble 1937a) to the criticisms of the 1936 papers by Eddington and by McVittie, and (c) in his 1937 Rhodes Lectures published as The Observational Approach to Cosmology (Hubble 1937b). It
    also persists in his last published scientific paper which is an account of his Darwin Lecture (Hubble 1953).”
