"Herbert Dingle Maverick Scientist and Anti-Einstein Philosopher Of Science" is a biographical article by Harry Hamlin Ricker published on 9 January 2019 on Beyond Mainstream.
Ricker traces Herbert Dingle's life from his birth in London in 1890 and his leaving school at fourteen to work, through night study to a Royal Scholarship in physics at Imperial College in 1915 and a career as physicist, philosopher and historian of science. The focus is on his claim that special relativity contains a logical inconsistency that invalidates it, the twin-paradox controversies of the 1950s that produced it, and Science At The Crossroads, his account of the scientific community's attempts to suppress the view.
