Albert Einstein has been proven right many times but some things his equations predicted have yet to be shown to be science and yet remain part of the popular consciousness about science.

Like a "singularity", where the laws of physics cease to apply, at the heart of black holes.

Though Karl Schwarzschild found an exact solution to Einstein's 1915 general relativity equations, which implied the existence of extreme objects now known as black holes, mass so concentrated that nothing — not even light — can escape their gravitational pull (thus "black"), the physics community remain unconvinced. For over 100 years many even found it problematic.

Maybe singularities are just math in some cases. Math is a language, languages can tell stories.
An old saying goes that 'character is what you are in the dark', which is a way of stating that how you'd behave if no one was there to see you is really who you are outside the world of surveys.
You can't really be friends with a gorilla, but it's still easier than beating one in a fight, even if you are the 100th person trying. They are all really tough whereas an alarming number of human males buy organic beard cream but one thing they share in common is that some are more social and some are less.
Honeybees are important pollinators for agriculture like the sweetener and almond industries but are also invoked by environmentalists targeting pesticides.

It's hard to separate marketing hype from reality but scholars believe simulations and a monitoring system could see if activists who target seed treatments like neonicotinoid pesticides have science or just-so stories.
For farmers, land is their most valuable asset so they protect it in ways environmentalists do not understand. By using science whenever possible, to reduce water, energy, and environmental strain.

Even organic farmers use toxic pesticides but because they are older and less effective they must use a lot more. A new literature review posits that organic farmers, and conventional as well, can reduce effects on soil using cover plants. Most farmers grow cover plants, animal feed or just plants to lay there and decompose, between main crops to supply the soil with nutrients before the next planting. They also protect against erosion and may increase biodiversity above and below ground. 
A new study of light anomalies combined with results from a Korea Microlensing Telescope Network microlensing survey show that super-Earths exist as far from their host star as our gas giants are from the sun. Which means that Earth-like exoplanets are a lot more common NASA press releases over every new statistical wobble suggest.
