Special Theory of Relativity: A Review

Basant Chhotray

Abstract: The article has approached the Special Theory of Relativity in a way, which may claim Galileo as the founder of Special Theory of Relativity. It has analysed the Michelson Morley experiment thoroughly and has tried to explain the negative result of this experiment. The Article has designed a simple experiment to prove that the velocity of light is independent of any inertial reference frame. Applying both the result of this experiment and principle of relativity to the electromagnetic phenomenon, the result of Special Theory of Relativity obtained. Its credentials are unquestionable.
