Abstract
However, the author has shown in [2] that a severe logical error appears in the light speed postulate (1) due to the fact that the Lorentz Transformations (2) predict identical light flashes in two frames when only one flash has been generated in one frame. This is logically and physically impossible. The second inconsistency is easily detectable by inserting a third Lorentz Transformation between two Lorentz Transformations as will be shown in section 2). It is found that the third LT is not a Lorentz Transformation [3]. The third inconsistency is that the transverse Doppler shift derived from the LTs has been refuted experimentally [4].
