Abstract
Based upon the aberration of starlight, an attempt is made to explain the experimental facts of importance concerning the special theory of relativity. It is demonstrated that the classical concepts of time and the speed of light, in contrast to the currently accepted view, are rather natural for describing the physics of relativistic phenomena. Physics, rather than mathematics, is the center of attention in this review. 1
