ABSTRACT: Special Relativity Theory is more than 110 years
aged and during this period it was elaborated until minuscule details. However,
there might be some logically deduced discrepancies, which demand a scrupulous
study. Nonetheless, every search for inherent contradictions is an uphill task.
The author of the considered paper proposed a situation with two series of synchronized
clocks. Each series is at rest in its own frame of reference, but one of them
is deemed to be stationary and other is moving with a constant relative
velocity. The author believes this situation to be contradictable. But really,
the suitable mathematical analysis proves that it is none other than a
consequence of neglecting the basic tenets of the theory.
