	Herbert Dingle was a distinguished scientist and philosopher who was Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at University College, London, from 1946 to 1955. Before that he was Professor of Natural Philosophy at Imperial College, from which he had graduated in 1918. His numerous scientific distinctions included the presidency of the Royal Astronomical Society (1951-53) and of the British Society for the History of Science (1955-57); he wrote several well-known books and an enormous number of scientific papers. The early part of Professor Dingle's scientific career was a period of intense interest in relativity, and he became an expert on the subject. Although an admirer of the theory, he was skeptical about the well-known clock paradox or twin paradox, and did not agree with its generally accepted resolution. After a prominent but inconclusive debate on the paradox, during the 1950s, he became convinced that the special theory, though mathematically impeccable, was physically impossible, and he spent much of his time and energy during the last 20 years of his life trying to persuade the scientific world that the theory was untenable. His criticisms of the theory: and his Socratic ability to ask questions that nobody else could answer, were rejected by mainstream academic physics and alleged to be rebutted. However, Hasok Chang, then of Harvard, did a thorough review of the Dingle debates (Stud. Hist. Phil. Sci. 24(5), 741 (1993)) and concluded that Dingle’s opponents had NOT rebutted his arguments ~~but~~ had NOT even addressed the arguments he raised.
