	Herbert Dingle
		Herbert Dingle (1890 - 1978) was an American astrophysicist.
		Dingle's disproof was based on the twin paradox, claiming that it was in fact a contradiction.
		Most modern astrophysicists hold that in fact it was Dingle's reasoning that was faulty; and that his disproof rested on a misunderstanding of the mathematics of special relativity.

	Herbert Dingle Was Correct!
		Dingle states that “The alleged inconsistency lies in the fact that the argument used to prove that ‘moving clocks run slow’ (with which all the kinematical implications of the theory are bound up) proves with exactly the same validity, that moving clocks run fast.
		Dingle’s equation expresses time-as indicated by seconds “marked” on the clock in the moving system- as it is measured in the stationary frame in terms of a function relating time in the moving frame to measured time in the stationary frame.
		Born asserts that the problem lies with Dingle’s definition or statement of the problem, while ignoring that it is essentially Einstein’s formulation of the problem that is wrong.

		This message is a tribute to professor Herbert Dingle, one of the greatest scientist's the world has ever seen.
		Dingle shows that Einstein's theory of special relativity is an irrational theory.
		Dingle's background, (He wrote at least a dozen 'scientific' books before his rationality was restored) to publish, " SCIENCE at the Crossroads" was indeed an act of courage unparalleled in recent times.

	Special Relativity: Herbert Dingle and the Twin Clock Paradox
		Actually, Dingle was as much concerned with the attitude of leading physicists and scientific journals to scientific dissidents but here I shall concentrate on Dingle's criticisms of Relativity Theory.
		Dingle states that the chief factor in creating the illusion that Relativity is unintelligible, or at least very difficult, is that it has something to say about the nature of time.
		Dingle stresses that when we speak of the mass of an electron we cannot put the electron on a balance like a lump of lead and compare it with weights in the other pan.

		Dingle's background, (He wrote at least a dozen 'scientific' books before he saw the light.) to publish, " Science at the crossroads;" was indeed an act of courage unparalleled in recent times.
		Dingle's book, " Science at the crossroads:" " It would naturally be supposed that the point at issue, even if less esoteric than it is generally supposed to be, must still be to subtle and profound for the ordinary reader to be expected to understand it.
		Dingle writes the following: " It is ironical that, in the very field in which Science has claimed superiority to Theology, for example - in the abandoning of dogma and the granting of absolute freedom to criticism - the positions are now reversed.

	Special Relativity: Debate between Herbert Dingle and H. W. McCrea
		If Dingle obtains two different answers it must be because a) he has made a slip in the algebra, or b) his quantities are not well defined, or c) what he treats as the same quantity are two different quantities.
		Dingle has not made any mistake in his algebra, but in his present paper he deals with objects to which the theory especially denies a meaning.
		Dingle's language requires a meaning for what the clock A reads "at" some event involving B even though A and B are not adjacent.

	What Happened to Dingle
		Needless to say, Dingle’s “reasoning” is incorrect, because partial derivatives cannot be algebraically inverted.
		The application of Dingle's argument to the Lorentz transformation is exactly the same. Two inertial coordinate systems xt and x't' with a mutual relative velocity v are related according to the equations
		In this case we have the two partial derivatives ¶t'/¶t = g and ¶t/¶t' = g. Dingle erroneously assumed that 1/[¶t'/¶t] = ¶t/¶t', and so he arrived at 1/g = g, which is impossible for any v other than 0. Again the fallacy is the erroneous assumption that partial derivatives can be algebraically inverted.

	Creation Models
		Herbert Dingle (1950) considers the contraction of "length" as physical nonsense.
		Dingle and Lawden agree that the length-contraction expression only relates to measurement and the proper way one must define length based upon the circumstances.
		However, the mathematics (equation 6.14) rejects the Dingle notion that (infinitesimal light-clock measured) time-dilation is simply a problem of measure and definition and verifies that it must represent actual physical or observed alterations in behavior if such a notion is actually applicable to the physical world.

	Nature and Experience (Evidence series)
		Herbert Dingle (who holds the Chair of History and Philosophy of Science, University College, London) suggests that all this is due to a change in this century that has come over "the metaphysics that underlies the physicist's practice," and he believes the physicist is largely unconscious of this fact.
		Dingle traces the history of the new procedure in the special fields of relativity and quantum theories.
		Dingle remarks that Einstein was really studying the possibilities of experience, and not the nature of an "external world." He might have added that our ideas, in both science and philosophy, on time and duration "are all derived from our sensations according to the laws of Association":

	Inconsistency of Lorentz Transforms With Einstein Relativity Postulates
		Dingle had already shown the theory was untenable in 1962.
		Dingle’s question can now be answered with confidence, the moving clock runs slow relative to the reference clock in an absolute reference frame.
		Dingle’s critics have used the second method, and tried to prove that Dingle’s inconsistencies were fallacious because they applied to different physical situations.

	Sepp Hasslberger: Challenging Einstein's Special Relativity: Herbert Dingle - Science at the Crossroads
		Herbert Dingle (1890 – 1978) was an English astronomer and President of the Royal Astronomical Society.
		It appears that Dingle's challenge, although coming from an eminent authority and author of textbooks on relativity, was not given space, while his detractors, notably the astrophysicist Sir William H. McCrea, were allowed to have the last word in the public discussion at the time.
		It is impossible in a brief space satisfactorily to summarise the whole of this latest phase of the matter, nor is it necessary, for the journals concerned may be consulted by interested readers, and on the one vital point no progress is made; the criticism remains unanswered and unaccepted, and its implications are unchanged.

	Cosmology: Methodological Debates in the 1930s and 1940s (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		The result was Dingle's notorious “Modern Aristotelianism”, a polemical diatribe chiefly against Milne, but aimed as well at Eddington and Dirac on account of their “betrayal” of the scientific method of Newton and his fellow members of the Royal Society.
		Along with Milne, Dingle indicts Eddington, and, by implication, Dirac, all three of whom, Dingle believes, are guilty of inventing scientific hypotheses by free mental imaginings rather than by strict immersion in observations and observational data.
		What Dr. Dingle has done is to reopen the question of the relation of mathematical physics to experimental physics, since he claims to detect a new and perverted point of view in the former.

	cattanomaly book, sect2
		Professor Herbert Dingle, who wrote a book on relativity in the 1920s as well as the section on relativity for Encyclopaedia Britannica, and was the man chosen by the BBC to give the eulogy on Einstein when he died, developed doubts about the special theory of relativity around 1955.
		To his astonishment, he found that the scientific journals and institutions suddenly closed their pages and doors when he wanted to say something unorthodox; that is, heretical.
		Dingle's centrepiece was the Twin Paradox, which I argue is a kosher argument; the one argument that is allowed at the fringe of relativity theory.

		Dingle's argument fails on this count, in that the purported illegal distinction between frames is entirely based on the acceleration, invalidating the assumption of inertiality.

	[No title]
		I would like to call the attention of your readers to a series of letters in Nature initiated by a question raised by the prominent British scientist Herbert Dingle with respect to the special theory of relativity, and culminating in a communication from Professor Dingle published in the Aug. 31, 1973 issue of that journal.
		As Dingle says, it has simply “become impossible for mathematical physicists to believe that this theory can be wrong”, and when anyone such as he points out just how matters actually stand, they resort to “one esoteric evasion after another”, as the letters printed in Nature clearly demonstrate.
		Professor Dingle characterizes this as a “tragic” situation for science, and,concludes his letter with a warning that is well worth careful consideration.

		Einstein's special theory of relativity was fundamentally flawed, argued Herbert Dingle, the science historian, some 30 years ago.
		Dingle set out his views in both specialised journals and general magazines, where they were repeatedly refuted.
		Yet in 1972 he published a book, Science at the Crossroads, which represented the story of his campaign on that single issue as a crisis for the whole of science.

		The Prize was established in 1997 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Society, and is named after the mathematician, astronomer and philosopher of science Herbert Dingle, a founder member.
		In keeping with the Society's concern to communicate history of science to broad audiences, the 2007 Dingle Prize will be offered for the best book in the history of science, technology and medicine, published in English between January 2003 and December 2006, which is accessible to a wide audience of non-specialists.
		With clear and attractive prose, it was felt that this book was both accessible to a wide range of readers and an excellent introduction to current views in the history of science.

	RETHINKING RELATIVITY
		This policy was informally adopted in the wake of the Herbert Dingle controversy.
		A professor of science at the University of London, Dingle had written a book popularizing Special Relativity, but by the 1960’s he had become convinced that it couldn’t be true.
		It follows that if there are two clocks, A and B, and one of them is moved, clock A runs slower than B, and clock B runs slower than A. Which is absurd.

	The Pseudo-Problem of Creation in Physical Cosmology
		In diametrical opposition to Bondi, the physicist Herbert Dingle rejects as perpetually miraculous the violation of matter-conservation by the "continual creation" of new hydrogen atoms in the steady-state theory.
		I therefore conclude that Herbert Dingle's rejection of matter accretion as miraculous was ill-founded.[3] Thus, Lovell, the theist, and Dingle, the atheist, made identically the same mistake of thinking that the matter-increase would be miraculous, although they made opposite uses of that mistake in their attitude toward the steady-state theory.
		The argument that I have developed on the basis of the history of physics from Aristotle to Bondi and Gold could likewise be based on the history of inquiry into the natural possibility of the spontaneous, unperturbed generation of living substances from inorganic materials.
