The clock paradox

Luise Lange's discussion

Andrea Reichenberger

pp. 55-61

Résumé

In her articles on the clock paradox and the relativity of time Luise Lange (1891–1978) defends the theory of relativity against philosophical refutations, by showing that the apparent clock paradox is not a paradox, but merely conflicts with common sense and is based on a misunderstanding of the theory. The following study explores, contextualizes and analyzes Lange's clear and sophisticated contribution to the debate on the clock paradox for the first time.
