It is shown that the special relativity theory is not confirmed experimentally. In fact, Michelson’s experiments demonstrate real shortening of moving bodies, experiments with moving muons demonstrate real deceleration of processes in the moving frame, and it means that the coordinate frames are not equivalent. Lorentz’s time transformation does not turn into Galileo’s time transformation at low motion velocities, therefore, special relativity theory does not correspond to Bohr’s principle. The dependence of a body’s mass on the motion velocity, and also connection of a body’s mass with its energy are confirmed experimentally, but have no relation to the relativity theory. 
Keywords: special relativity theory, Lorentz’s transformations, Michelson’s experiments, Bohr’s principle. 

1. Introduction

More than a hundred years passed since the Special Relativity Theory (SRT) was made up. Officially its experimental confirmation is recognized in various investigations; nevertheless, discussions about its correctness do not stop up till nowadays, especially at the Internet forums. If this problem is attentively analyzed, then it is found out that in these discussions, both sides failed to clarify accurately not only the essence of the theory itself and the questions under discussion, but also the physical meaning of the quantities belonging to the equations. The aim of the present work is to give the relativity theory in general, and the SRT in particular, in as accessible way as possible, because, as practice shows, the discussing sides speak different languages in most cases. The main problem consists in misunderstanding the essence of the relativity theory and the physical meaning of the quantities belonging to the equations. In the present work, special attention will be paid to the problem of experimental testing the theory, since shallow attitude towards this question will lead to incorrect conclusions.

We do not hope that many readers will be patient to read the article quite large in its volume; therefore, beginning with introduction, we will propose the reader to think over a simple example. It is known that any new theory must in the conditions, in which the old theory is true, give the calculations results slightly differing from ones obtained according to the old theory. The simplest problem in the relativity theory is to calculate the coordinates of some event in the moving frame, if the motion velocity V of the frame and the coordinates of the event A(x, t) in the immovable frame are given. Example: let the event’s coordinate be equal to ?=10^16  m, t=100 s, and the frame’s velocity V=900 m/s. One should calculate the coordinates of this event in the moving frame according to Galileo’s relativity theory and the SRT, and then compare the results concerning their convergence-divergence.

The velocity of 900 m/s we consider as pre-relativistic, since it is the velocity of a modern airplane (below we will return to grounding this confirmation). The distance of 10^16 meters is only one third of a parsec, a unit of length measurement in astronomy.

In this chapter, we will not give the calculations of the space coordinate, since the divergence in the direction of motion is observed only in the twelfth digit. For making calculations of the time coordinate, one should use Galileo’s and Lorentz’s time transformations.

Conclusions

1. Michelson’s experiments confirm Lorentz’s space transformation, if real shortening of moving material bodies is assumed. The reality of shortening bodies makes the coordinate frames nonequivalent, and it contradicts to the relativity principle of the SRT.
2. Experiments with muons testify to the real deceleration of the physical processes’ rate in the moving frame. The reality of the processes’ deceleration also testifies to the nonequivalence of the coordinate frames, and contradicts to the relativity principle of the SRT.
3. Lorentz’s time transformation is made up through the violation of the main property of the basic notion in physics – time; it requires chronometers’ dissynchronization and acceleration of physical processes’ rate, i.e. it contradicts to the experiment, see item 2.
4. The contradiction in the SRT is found by means of the SRT – Lorentz’s space and time transformations prescribe to add the light velocity to the moving frame velocity, which contradicts to the basic postulate of the SRT.
5. Through chronometers’ dissynchronization one can reach the independence of the measured photons’ velocity on the velocity of the coordinate frame, but the results of Michelson’s experiments cannot be explained through it, since photons move irrespective of the presence or absence of synchronization. Synchronization of chronometers is not a Natural phenomenon, but a product of engineers’ activity; therefore, it cannot be present in coordinate transformations, which are, in fact, the laws of the Nature.
6. In case of low velocities, Lorentz’s time transformation does not turn into Galileo’s transformation. The SRT is not agreed with Bohr’s principle, and this disagreement makes this theory non-physical.
7. The dependence of a body’s mass on its velocity has no relation to the relativity theory; therefore, it cannot serve as the instrument of checking the relativity theory.
8. The connection of a body’s mass with energy contained in it has absolutely no relation to the relativity theory; therefore, it cannot serve as the instrument of checking the relativity theory, either.
