Why Astrophysicist Herbert Dingle Rejected Relativity

Abstract

Referring to the example of the famous twin� paradox, astrophysicist Herbert Dingle argued that Special Relativity is false : two clocks, he said, cannot run slow relatively to each other.� His argument implied that the two clocks and��their readings were real, in accordance with� naive realism. It will be shown that they are� not real but part of the observers' subjective� perception of reality - in which case, nothing��prevents them from being different. Thus, it is naive realism which is wrong, not Relativity.
