  Louis Essen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Essen (September 6, 1908 – August 24, 1997) was an English physicist whose most notable achievements were in the precise measurement of time and the determination of the speed of light.
As the wavelength of the modes was known from the geometry of the cavity and from electromagnetic theory, knowledge of the associated frequencies enabled a calculation of the speed of light.
However, a combination of Essen's stubornness, his iconoclasm and his belief in his own skill at measurement (and a little help with calculations from Alan Turing) inspired him to refine his apparatus and to repeat his measurement in 1950, establishing a result of 299,792.5±1 km/s,.

Essen spent all his working life at the National Physical Laboratory but caused some embarrassment to his employers in (1971) when he published The Special Theory of Relativity: A Critical Analysis in which he questioned Einstein's theories.

 Science Museum | Atomic clocks | Louis Essen
Louis Essen was born in Nottingham in 1908.
Essen realised that the ammonia molecule, which the NBS had used in a clock in 1948, was not ideally suited for this purpose and based his clocks instead on atoms such as hydrogen, rubidium and caesium.
In 1953, Louis Essen and Jack Parry were given approval to produce an atomic clock at the NPL.

 Famous Names at NPL
Louis Essen re-measured the velocity of light and challenged aspects of Einstein's special theory of relativity.
Essen was invited to join the NPL shortly after graduation from university to work with D. Dye on ‘tuning fork’ clocks, and the possibilities of using quartz oscillators to measure time.
By the time this had been published Essen had improved the clock to an accuracy of one part in a million, million, launching the world in to an era of practical atomic clocks.

 Time Lord - Louis Essen
Louis Essen D.Sc., F.R.S. During the last 50 years the revolution from cuckoo clocks to caesium clocks has gone largely unnoticed yet many inventions from satellite navigation (GPS) to the Internet itself rely on clocks that measure time to an accuracy unheard of only a few decades ago.
Essen soon realised that the definition of the second of time had now become a major block to realising the potential of his new clock.
Essen is the only British physicist ever to have been honoured for his contribution to science by both the USA and USSR during the Cold War.

 Hafele-Keating experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That result was contested by Dr. Kelly who examined the raw data: he found that the final published outcome had to be averaged in a biased way in order to claim such a high precision.
Also Louis Essen, the inventor of the atomic clock, published an article in which he discussed (in his opinion) the inadequate accuracy of the experiment.
On the 25th anniversary of the original experiment, in what was claimed to be its repetition with using more precise atomic clocks, the results were allegedly verified to an even higher degree of accuracy.
