Why Astrophysicist Herbert Dingle Rejected Relativity

Referring to the example of the famous twin  paradox, astrophysicist Herbert Dingle argued that Special Relativity is false : two clocks, he said, cannot run slow relatively to each other.  His argument implied that the two clocks and  their readings were real, in accordance with  naive realism. It will be shown that they are  not real but part of the observers' subjective  perception of reality - in which case, nothing  prevents them from being different. Thus, it is naive realism which is wrong, not Relativity.
