Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In this paper the historical background of the development of special relativity and the relativistic kinematics and its results are briefly summarized. In particular, it is emphasized that the modifying of Newtonian absolute simultaneity is the key point for constructing special relativity. Furthermore, the relativistic dynamics and its achievements are introduced, which are also tests of special relativity. Finally, direction about developing special relativity in the future is expounded.
