Abstract
There is a fundamental fault with special relativity that stems from a misunderstanding of the Fitzgerald and Lorentz contraction phenomena: the phenomena from which all the bizarre concepts of special relativity derive. Once this misunderstanding is cleared up, it can be seen that special relativity has never been anything more than mere speculation: more properly to be consigned to the realm of Alice's Wonderland than to the realm of rational science.
