Special Relativity Tested

by Joseph L. Poggie

This is an original, provocative study of the foundations of Special Relativity. It is unique in the fact that it is the first book that examines the basic perceptions that resulted in the formation of Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity and of Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory of Light. It contains a detailed discussion, in a careful, scientific manner, of each of the principles involved, in a form that is easily understood by persons with no scientific training and only high school mathematics. The information is presented in an easily followed format in which the most important experimental evidence is presented as it was originally conceived, obtained and analyzed. Each experiment is then critically reviewed, in order to reveal any possible questionable areas, and corrected. The result is a more logical interpretation and understanding of the natural physical laws that, in turn, remove the unnatural limits that have restricted scientific progress to date.
