  • The Logic of Simultaneity – Relativity without Inertial Frames

    by Priidu Tänava ...
    This book is an account of my first encounter with Einstein's Special Relativity. It is inevitable that in trying to unravel the theory's logical inconsistencies I did not at first attempt succeed in correcting it. The logic does not stand the test of a detailed follow through. Our fundamental understanding of relativity in the universe is thus still waiting to be put right. Patience. (Feb. 2019) ... Read more
