Abstract:
In the above paper, an extraordinary claim of experimental absence of the transverse Doppler effect is made. As stated in the abstract, "An experiment... showing that a 33-GHz microwave signal received by rotating antennas is not exhibiting the frequency shift ("transverse Doppler effect") predicted by the relativistic Doppler formula." In this comment, we will reanalyze the experiment and show that the correct application of special relativity predicts exactly a zero effect, in perfect coincidence with the observed result.
