Introduction

This book presents an alternative representation of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, which makes Special Relativity much more comprehensible. Moreover, one will come across a fundamental relationship between the Special Theory of Relativity and the mechanics of space lattice.

Previous Formulations

In all previous formulations, the Einsteinian special principle of relativity, in one or the other form, is used as the starting point for Special Relativity. In correspondence to this principle, one takes it as granted apriori, that all observers independent of their uniform motion to each other measure one and the same propagation velocity of a light signal.

Intended Audience

This book is thought of as a lecture for physicists, mathematicians, and computer scientists and concentrates on the students of these fields. The book should reach a broad circle of interested readers from the fields of natural sciences and philosophy and provide an invigorating experience for engineers.
