This book discusses in detail the special theory of relativity
without including all the instruments of theoretical physics,
enabling readers who are not budding theoretical physicists to
develop competence in the field. An arbitrary but fixed inertial
system is chosen, where the known velocity of light is measured.
With respect to this system a moving clock loses time and a moving
length contracts. The book then presents a definition of
simultaneity for the other inertial frames without using the
velocity of light. To do so it employs the known reciprocity
principle, which in this context serves to provide a definition of
simultaneity in the other inertial frames. As a consequence, the
Lorentz transformation is deduced and the universal constancy of
light is established. With the help of a lattice model of the
special theory of relativity the book provides a deeper
understanding of the relativistic effects. Further, it discusses
the key STR experiments and formulates and solves 54 problems in
detail.
