Abstract

In the derivation of his Special Theory of Relativity Einstein uses a definition of simultaneity and a way of determining it which are not compatible. Although the way of determining simultaneity is adequate for common daily problems, it is in contradiction to the concept of synchronized clocks given by himself. Einsteins method of determining simultaneity is some kind of ?habit of thinking? while a different method is a ?necessity of thinking?. The observations predicted by the theory are artefacts produced by this incompatibility.
