   OK.   
      
   Q1:   
   Have you understood that the Special Theory of Physics (SR)   
   can be summarised in the Lorentz transform (LT)?   
      
   Given two frames of references: K(t,x,y,z) and K'(t',x',y',z')   
   The axes are parallel, x with x', y with y' etc.   
   The origin of K' is moving along the positive x-axis with   
   the speed v.   
      
      c = the speed of light, γ = 1/√(1 − v²/c²)   
      
      t' = γ⋅(t - v⋅x/c²)   
      x' = γ⋅(x - v⋅t)   
      y' = y   
      z' = z   
      
      t = γ⋅(t' + v⋅x'/c²)   
      x = γ⋅(x' + v⋅t')   
      y = y'   
      z = z'   
      
   Q2:   
   Have you understood that the LT and thus SR is logically consistent?   
      
   Q4:   
   Have you understood that all predictions of SR can be derived from   
   the LT?   
      
   Q5:   
   Have you understood that a lot of those prediction are confirmed   
   to be in accordance with measurements in the real world?   
      
   Some tests of SR:

   Facts:   
   "The Special Theory of Relativity (SR)" as defined in Einstein's   
     paper "ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES" is a logically   
     consistent theory which make precise predictions for what will   
     be measured in the real world, and many of these predictions   
     are proved to be in accordance with the measurements, and no   
     prediction of SR is proven wrong.   
      
   Q6:   
   Do you understand that these facts make it rather stupid to claim   
   that the theory defined in Einstein's paper is "terrible crap"?
