Abstract

The present paper is dedicated to the honour of Ths.E. Phipps j. It is argued that Special Relativity (SR) should be rejected in favour of a Classical Alternative (AR) based on the invariance of proper time; this involves a modification of Einstein's second postulate which allows the one-way light-speed to vary, their average speed being invariant.
