According to Einstein, the Theory of Relativity is ultimately based on the negation of the classical consept of time. &nbsp;Thus, two clocks far apart would not register the same time for a given event. Einstein in his Theory introduces a<span id="span_2553" style="DISPLAY: none">...</span><span id="more_span_2553"> new time concept which he maintains should be based on experiments.&nbsp; It is the introduction of this new time concept on which Dr Nordenson takes Einstein to task. &nbsp;An analysis of Einstein?s prescribed experiments shows that they cannot be performed to produce the desired results if classical time concepts are superseded.&nbsp; The experiments themselves are found to have been conceived with the classical time concept as their bases - unconsciously perhaps? - with the result that, in Dr Nordenson?s view, Einstein used the word "time" indiscriminately, a logically untenable position.</span>

<span>'''Conclusions:'''</span>

<span>Lorentz never presented the transformation equations named after him. His equations are different, and lacking all motivation they must be considered as wholly arbitrary. Poincar?&nbsp;presented equations closer to the final ones but also arbitrarily chosen, as they lack motivation. Einstein was the first to&nbsp;give the transformation equations of the Special Theory of Relativity in their finally accepted form and to&nbsp;attempt a motivation.&nbsp; His attempt was based on the negation of the classical time concept and the creation of a new time concept through certain experiments. The impossibility of performing the experiment after a negation of classical time reduces his formulae to mere mathemtical constructions and bereaves his new symbols of all known physical meaning. &nbsp;Einstein proclaims the dislocation of simultaneity for distant point in relation to different inertial systems, and deduces formulae to prove this.&nbsp; But if they are combined with other of Eintsteins new formulae they lead to the opposite result.&nbsp; Einstein thus proclaimed an extremely sensational physical novelity, whereas his formulae prove the contrary. </span>
