Abstract

The unsurmountable obstacles of relativity theory are:

  1. its derivation requires three, not two postulates
  2. it can be confirmed by experiment only to the extend of 2/3
  3. the third, arbitrary postulate introduces local time into the reference frame
  4. the alternative of the Lorentz transformation is not the Galilean transformation, but a transformation among unequally privileged systems.
