Below is the Anti-TM Fundies' Dilemma that drives them crazy, so they ignore it and go off making crappy jokes to each other, or changing the subject to Cajun Cooking Tips or some other nonsense: There will never come a time when Science (research published in peer- reviewed scientific journals) will be superceded by New Age self-agrandizing dribble. This is the reality of life. This is the modern world. You need to accept this new realization to become liberated .
If this is indeed the case (I suspect it is not) then you should expect to see TM and the TMSP fade from view.
Recent scientific studies on meditation show the results of meditators in actual samadhi and show a profound level of gamma coherence, one of the primary markers for samadhi. These same markers are not present in TM. Also deep meditators show a market decrease in metabolic rate 5-6 times deeper than relaxation techniques like TM.
It could just be that legitimate science will make inferior methods a thing of the past as spiritual consumers actually choose methods which really do work.
