Theory of Relativity Based on Physical Reality

In this book I attempt to give a re-evaluation of the facts which led to establish the special and general theories of relativity. As the result of this analysis I obtain a mathematical formalism which is strictly equivalent to the known formalism of relativity. Nevertheless my approach to phenomena differs from the usual ones; it resembles sometimes that which is found in the classical literature of relativity rather than the treatments given in modern textbooks. I have always treated with great respect Laue's book on relativity and many of the ideas elaborated in this volume have their origin in remarks I found there.
