Abstract

The Special Theory of Relativity challenges classical mechanics by claiming light speed c to be unchanged by the motion of observers relative to emitters. This claim arose from assumptions that probably seemed so reasonable as to obviate the need for explicit discussion. But here I attempt to expose them clearly, and then we question them. Results claimed here were contained in my unpublished manuscript submitted 28 September 1999.
