1. Moritz, H. in Quo Vadimus, G.D. Garland and J.R. Apel, eds., p.113 (American Geophysical Union, Washington, 1990).

This my original introduction to the subject of Whitehead's theory of relativity. Professor Moritz had convened a symposium to discuss unsolved problems of geophysics, and had written this to induce others to consider a wide range of topics.

2. Whitehead, A.N. The Principle of Relativity, p.190 (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1922).

One of the original expositions of Whitehead's theory. It has been much modified, by others, in the meantime. See Will's work.

3. Will, C.M. Theory and Experiment in Gravitational Physics, p.380 (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1993).

A recent account of how relativity has been tested, and why Whitehead's theory was rejected.

4. Warburton, R.J., and Goodkind, J.M. Astrophysical J., 208, 881-886 (1976).

A more rigorous attempt to analyze the anomalous tide signals. A Whitehead-type parameter is determined, but only in the reference frame of the Milky Way galaxy. Apparently, there are anomalous tides, which are still unattributed.

5. Hughes, V.W., Robinson, H.G., and Beltran-Lopez, V. Phys. Rev. Lett. 4, 342-344 (1960).

A famous experiment to test Mach's Principle, which says that inertia is a result of the totality of mass in the Universe. The Hughes-Drever experiments have been called the most precise experiments ever performed.

6. Drever, R.W.P. Phil. Mag. 6, 683-687 (1961).

See Hughes et al. paper.

This is the work of the Seven Samauri, which established the existence of the Great Attractor.

10. Misner, C.W., Thorne, K.S., and Wheeler, J.A. Gravitation, p.1279 (W.H. Freeman, San Francisco, 1973).

The bible of relativity theory. Discusses Whitehead's theory, but mostly in the context of Will's refutation of it. An interesting thought experiment on page 430 (An Experiment to Detect or Exclude Certain Types of Prior Geometry).

11. Will, C.M. Astrophysical J. 169, 141-155 (1971).

The paper which refuted Whitehead's theory of relativity. The derivation of equations is mostly in the appendix.
