On the Stipulations Required for the Relativity of Simultaneity and the Failure of the Two Postulates of Special Relativity Theory

The 1905 derivation of the relativity of simultaneity proceeds by a sequence of stipulations that contradict either the operational content of the synchronization rule, or the kinematic premise used to generate the differentiation. Each step is required for the conclusion. The local event records and the round-trip identity do not fix them.

Abstract

The 1905 derivation of the relativity of simultaneity proceeds by a sequence of stipulations that contradict either the operational content of the synchronization rule, or the kinematic premise used to generate the differentiation. Each step is required for the conclusion. The local event records and the round-trip identity do not fix them.
