Abstract
Upon the post-mortem of Frankeinstein's monster (SRT), (only a pun) it has been found that, in its creation: # A serious error has been committed in cross-connecting two antithetical components (laws of motion of bosons and laws of motion of fermions) by accident. (Whereas there can be no connection between Lorentz transformation pertaining to motion of fermions and the constancy of the velocity of light - bosons, the central thesis of SRT is based on this connection).
- The whole idea of creation of this 'monster' has come about due to the elimination of important parts from the body of physics by the previous use of a lancet named Occam's razor and the classical theory has been written as if these parts did not exist. And it is these missing parts that prevent us from making the necessary diagnosis. That is, Newton in the construction of classical mechanics has made four assumptions for convenience, to simplify his system and it is these assumptions that have made it impossible for us to understand relativistic phenomena in terms of classical mechanics.
