Sfarti's Reply to Dingle's Clock Puzzle “Disproof”
preprint
OA: closed
Abstract
In a recent article,1 Sfarti provided a simple disproof of Dingle's objection to relativity. The crux of Dingle's objection turns out to be based on Dingle's misunderstanding of synchronization, and perhaps in his inability to accept that his view of the circumstances might not be correct. This paper attempts to expand Sfarti's praiseworthy efforts to dispense with Dingle's misguided notion that relativity is incorrect. In this author's opinion, there are minor issues with Sfarti's response, but its major points, that Dingle did not properly consider intervals of time, and that his conclusion is wrong, are correct. This response discusses where Dingle went wrong, and addresses the minor issues in Sfarti's paper, after a separate refutation of Dingle's argument.
