The clock paradox, p.48-51; 258-263.

Time and the use of clocks in physics, p.137-142.

Draws attention to clock paradox, by commenting on article by L.R. Shepherd.

Dr. Shepherd's reply appears on p.298-299, Nov. 1952.

Endeavors to bring some clearness and precision into the question raised by Einstein's conception of time.

More about time, p.48-50.

In Spanish. Not examined.

"Several explanations of the 'clock paradox' are criticized and, as they do not seem satisfactory, the author suggests to replace the equations of Lorentz by other equations, which, being in agreement with the principle of Galileo and with the invariance of the velocity of light, do not lead to the mentioned paradox. The new equations have the same physical consequences as the theory of Einstein, but the value of the constant of Planck is no more invariant. Instead, it changes, when measured in a moving frame, in such a way that the red shift of the canal rays and the anomalous half-life of rapid muons are at once explained." Sci. Abs. 61A:7668, Nov. 1958.
