Herbert Eugene Ives (July 31, 1882 – November 13, 1953) was a scientist and engineer who headed the development of facsimile and television systems at AT&T in the first half of the twentieth century.[1] He is best known for the 1938 Ives–Stilwell experiment, which provided direct confirmation of special relativity's time dilation,[2] although Ives himself did not accept special relativity, and argued instead for an alternative interpretation of the experimental results.[3] Ives has been described as "the most authoritative opponent of relativity in United States between the late 1930s and the early 1950s."[4]
