Why this page was created

Since my days of youth I was astonished by Einstein's theory of relativity. The fact of not understanding it seemed quite normal to me as I was not  a  professional in that matter.  After having studied mathematics and physics the situation seemed to have changed. For some time I believed to understand what my teachers and reading books told me. But there was some doubt left always. After decades since my first encounter with the subject I ended up with the conviction that there must be something wrong, at least with the Special Theory of Relativity (SRT). I met people having studied the same matter who admitted not having understood it either or came up with even less understandable explanations. Secondary literature mostly was not helpful as the critical questions ( to my opinion ) were excluded. So I adhered to Einstein's original texts as far as possible.

Basic notes
I know that a lot of critics has been published on the SRT. Not all of them is free of  polemics or other little helpful intentions. I mention here that I try to adhere as close as possible only to the aim of finding the truth. I'm free from commercial, professional or other restrictions  preventing  me from  this.
I don't share most of the critics on the SRT I read so far. There are a few publications and webpages I appreciate, however. I will mention them or link to them after getting the consent of the authors.
