The lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction hypothesis and the combined rod contraction-clock retardation hypothesis
Philosophy of Science 38 (4):605-609 (1971)
Abstract
In a recent paper in this journal which was part of a panel discussion of Grünbaum's philosophy of science, M. G. Evans discusses the Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction hypothesis and related matters [2]. The purpose of this note is to clarify and correct some of the points in Evans' paper.My notes
