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 48 problems in detail. 606 $aGravitation 606 $aPhysics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 676 $a530.1 700 $aGünther$b Helmut$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0839049 702 $aMüller$b Volker$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350222203321 996 $aThe Special Theory of Relativity$92532336 997 $aUNINA
