About this Item

R. Herman, "Relativity and Space Travel: a reply to Professor Dingle" in Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, vol 18 no. 10 no. 83, Nov-Dec 1958, pp 564-574 in the issue of pp 557-600. Original wrappers, with ownership rubber stamp and a red grease pencil mark at the front top center of the wrapper. VG copy. "An answer is given to Professor Dingle's argument that if a spaceship were to travel away from the Earth at a velocity comparable with that of light and subsequently return, then the duration of the two-way journey, as measured by a clock in the spaceship would be substantially the same as that measured by a clock on the Earth. It is shown in the paper that the correct statement corresponding to the postulate of general relativity is that all coordinate systems are equivalent for the formulation of the general laws of nature, and that this does not imply complete equivalence between all frames of reference."--THE CLOCK PROBLEM (CLOCK PARADOX) IN RELATIVITY Theories, Both Pro and Con, Recorded in the Literature, An Annotated Bibliography. Compiled by Mildred Benton (USNRL).
