"Dr Louis Essen Inventor Of Atomic Clock Rejects Einstein's Relativity Theory" is an article by Harry Hamlin Ricker published on 28 August 2019 on Beyond Mainstream, publishing and commenting on a previously unpublished letter.
The letter, dated 25 March 1984, was written by Louis Essen to Carl Zapffe and came to Ricker from Zapffe's files by way of Jack Graham. Ricker's interest is that it compresses the essence of Essen's objection to relativity into a few lines — a compact statement from the man who built the caesium atomic clock, whose measurements the theory is often said to rest on.
