Later Life
Essen spent all his working life at the National Physical Laboratory.
In 1971 he published The Special Theory of Relativity: A Critical Analysis in which he questioned Einstein's theory, which apparently was not appreciated by his employers. Essen later claimed (1978):
No one has attempted to refute my arguments, but I was warned that if I persisted I was likely to spoil my career prospects.He retired in 1972 and died in Great Bookham, Surrey.
