Sommario/riassunto

This book is aimed at a large audience: scientists, engineers, professors and students wise enough to keep a critical stance whenever confronted with the chilling dogmas of contemporary physics. Readers will find a tantalizing amount of material calculated to nurture their thoughts and arouse their suspicion, to some degree at least, on the so-called validity of today's most celebrated physical theories. <br><i>Contents:</i><ul><li>Wave Meaning of the Special Relativity Theory</li><li>Change of Reference Frame</li><li>Relativistic and Classical Mechanics</li><li>Experimental Tests of Special
