The main subject of this book is a critical analysis of the special theory of relativity as a scientific theory, which, above all, is concerned with questions connected with time, space, mass and energy and with the relationship between time and space, and mass and energy.
   According to the theory of relativity time and space are mutually dependent and the contraction of space and the dilatation of time originate with motion as real physical processes.
   The book demonstrates that the dilatation of time and the contraction of space are not real physical processes, but nothing more than mathematical games which are not in accord with the laws of physics and even with the declared principles of the theory of relativity.
   In addition to that it is shown that Einstein did not derive the formula for mass in motion and the formula for the mutual connection between mass and energy, and also that they cannot be derived by correct relativistic procedure. These formulas have been derived here, on the whole, by correct classical procedure. It has finally been demonstrated that they are classical formulas, not relativistic.
   In this way it is demonstrated that the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity, which is based upon the special theory of relativity, are only an unsuccessful attempt to generate a scientific theory.
   The claim that mass is transformed into energy through an annihilation of an electron and a positron, as well as a transformation of energy into mass through a creation of the pair electron - positron, are contested. In connection with this it is given a hypothesis on the existence of new neutral particle called the elpotrin, which is formed at collision of an electron and a positron.
   A new explanation of the red shift in the radiation spectrums of distant galaxies disputes the Hubble's hypothesis about dispersion of galaxies and the existence of the big bang. Besides that the origin of the primary cosmic rays and their enormous energies are explained.
   The existing classical and relativistic explanations of aberration are disputed. The hypothesis about the existence of the earth's ether and the sun's ether, whose relative motion causes the phenomenon of aberration is presented. In connection with this a new type of the interferometer is invented and described, with which it is possible to confirm or to deny the existence of the earth's ether.
   New explanation of the Fizeau's test and the theory of light propagation through moving transparent mediums are also given.
