The supernatural claims you say Randi cannot prove, no one has proven.
No psychic powers have ever been proven through science with research results, which have been peer reviewed and published within any reputable scientific journal.
Such claims typically rely upon and/or cite anecdotal evidence.
I am agnostic about whether a supernatural/metaphsical reality exists, but I tend to agree with rmmoderator.

There are many renegade scientist who prove empirical facts that are not accepted by the mainstream scientific community.
They "prove" it how? Would you please give an example of a renegade scientist, the empirical fact that he proved, and what methods he used in making such a proof?

If they don't support currently accepted models, such as aristotles theory, then the career of such scientist is inevitably torn to shreds. I am not talking about metaphysics either. There is an award specifically for renegade sicentists and there is a need for these guys to publish their theories underground.
I'd be interested in reading about these awards. Is there somewhere on the Web where I can read about it?

For example, if you could drop from infinity you would gain infinite energy. Then once you reach a black hole travelling at the speed of light the event horizon would become a point of sigularity yet mathemaitically the EV no longer exists, time freezes and you should pass right through it. Much talked about in physics community. Reaching the singularity in theoretic mathematics is highly discussed but although there is problems with the Special Theory of Relativity it is not accepted because it doesn't fit the theory.
Also light has been tested empirically to have weight.
By whom? Where is this published?

But this doesn't fit Einsteins theory E=mc2. But in the case of photons E = mass times c2.
c equalling the speed of light.

I don't have the training to either validate or invalidate your argument. This is your own discovery? Or you are quoting someone else?

If anyone tried to refute any of this though their careers would be over.
I'm confused. If someone refuted your argument above their careers would be over. Or their careers would be over if they publically agreed with your argument?

Metaphysics cannot be proven as science deals with physics.
Yes, that is a common argument. But it does not invalidate rmmoderator's comment

All that can be shown is that an event has occured that cannot be explained.
"Shown" how? Can you give an example?
Quote

Once it cannot be explained most people are deemed to forget about it. There are many cases in the last few decades that have not been proven.
Again, some examples would be appreciated.
I can probably find a web page describing a picture of the Virgin Mary manifesting on a taco shell, but what does that prove?
