Abstract
Special relativity is conceptually unable to describe reality in a satisfactory way when extended solid bodies are involved. For example, we consider two extended solid bodies gliding upon each other. When they occupy a certain relative position, there happen many local spatial coincidences between particles of the bodies, and all these events are equivalent in the domain of reality. Special relativity, however, describes only one of these events correctly. All the other meetings of real particles are described in ambiguous ways and by use of imaginary particle meetings. It follows that the classical synchronization of clocks on a reference frame is the only one compatible with our reality.
