This one is really interesting. A scientist by the name of Alexander Mayer posted several of his lectures at his Stanford University website suggesting a radical theory of time, with some interesting data to back up that theory. A heated debate ensued at SlashDot. Shortly thereafter his website at Stanford was administratively locked, his lectures were taken down, and his name from the "Visiting" faculty members was removed.

Original Stanford University website (no longer works):
http://www.stanford.edu/~afmayer/
A Google cache still exists for that site. While Google did not cache his lecture Powerpoint and PDF files, someone managed to grab them and make a mirror containing those files (get them while you can).

At the simplest, he introduces a simple thought experiment from which he proposes a "Gravitational Transverse Redshift" phenomenon. He then proceeds to use this phenomenon to help explain such modern day mysteries as the Big Bang, Dark Matter, and anomalies in GPS data. If nothing else, it makes an interesting read...
