'''"PHD in Relativity Abandons Einstein Upon First Real World Application"''' is an autobiographical article by [[Cynthia Kolb Whitney]] published on 8 April 2020 on ''Beyond Mainstream''.

Whitney recounts the path that took her from a post-Sputnik high-school physics enthusiasm to MIT in 1959 &mdash; one of some twenty women in an entering class of over nine hundred &mdash; and on to a doctorate in special relativity. The account is offered as her personal explanation of how she came to stand apart from mainstream physics on special relativity, a position she reached through applying the theory rather than through opposing it beforehand.
