   But it is THE topic.   
      
   Stop giving irrelevant comments, and answer the questions.   
      
   Q1:   
   Do you understand that the Special Theory of Physics (SR)   
   can be summarised in the Lorentz transform (LT)?   
      
   The LT is below:   
      
   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:   
   Do you understand that the LT and thus SR is logically consistent?   
      
   Q3:   
   Do you understand that all predictions of SR can be derived from   
   the LT?   
      
   Q4:   
   Do you understand that a lot of those prediction are confirmed   
   to be in accordance with measurements in the real world?

   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.   
      
   Q5:   
   Do you understand that these facts make it rather stupid to claim   
   that the theory defined in Einstein's paper is "terrible crap"?
