dcterms:abstract

The 1938 Ives-Stilwell experiment is one of the experiments regularly listed as corroborations of Special Relativity, and occasionally repeated at higher precision. What is much less often mentioned is that Herbert Ives saw this measurement as a confirmation of a rival theory to Special Relativity, which he labelled the Larmor–Lorentz theory, and which he developed and advocated for, for the rest of his life, specifically as a competitive alternative to Einstein's relativity.
