A Simple Challenge to Relativity

There are long standing confusions and arguments about the application of special relativity theory to such problems as the Global Positioning System, Sagnac effect,and moving observer experiments.The arguments in many cases are intuitive,lacking mathematical rigor, lacking mathematical treatment strictly according to Lorentz transformation equations. Even relativists are usually seen to be confused regarding, for example, the time delay of a short light pulse for an observer moving at non-relativistic speeds relative to the light source, according to the theory of special relativity. In this paper, I present a simple challenge that probes into the understanding of the application of special relativity to these problems by physicists.
