Abstract
IT has been shown1–3 that the frequency of an atomic absorber at the end of a rotating arm is less than that of a similar atomic emitter at the centre of the rotor by the amount Δν = νv2/2c2, that there is no frequency shift4 between an emitter and absorber at opposite ends of a rotating arm, and that there is a shift5 when the emitter and absorber are at different gravitational potentials. All these results are generally assumed to be in accord with both the special and general theories of relativity, but a critical examination of the question leads to a different conclusion.
