十年前出版了《相对论逻辑自洽性探疑》，对相对论的若干基本结果和结论的逻辑、推导做了分析。对该书既有不少赞扬，也有不少批评。经过其后多年的思考，对该书涉及的不少问题有了更深入的看法，对自己的观点也有了更好的表述方法。总结这几年思考的结果，去年完成、今年出版了The Theory of Relativity: Principles, Logic and Experimental Foundation一书。今后会在科学网与对相对论感兴趣的博友、网友们探讨交流有关问题。

This book presents a comprehensive introduction and analysis of the special theory of relativity and its logical and experimental foundations. It explains in detail the basic principles of the relativity theory, introduces all the important experiments and examines the logic in the reasoning of relativistic results and conclusions. The two fundamental postulates, the principle of relativity and the constancy of the speed of light, are extensively discussed in relation to historical and modern experimental findings. The interpretations of all important experimental results in the history of special relativity and the derivations of key theoretical results in special relativity are scrutinized for their logical consistency, uniqueness to special relativity, and simplicity in explanation compared with competing theories.

This book is suitable for both academics and students in science and philosophy and other readers who are interested in physics and its associated philosophical issues, space-time theories, the logical foundation of scientific discoveries, the history of science, the methodology of science, espeically researchers and students in physics and the philosophy of science.

本书系统介绍、分析了狭义相对论及其逻辑和实验基础。书中详细解释了相对论的基本原理，介绍了与狭义相对论有关的所有重要实验，并检查了相对论结果与结论推导中的逻辑自洽性问题。根据历史上和现代的实验发现，对相对论的两条基本假设，相对性原理和光速不变原理，做了全面的讨论。分析了狭义相对论对历史上所有重要实验结果的解释和相对论关键理论结果的推导，仔细检查了相对论解释与推导的逻辑自洽性、狭义相对论解释与推导的唯一性以及与竞争理论比较相对论解释的简洁性。

本书适合科学与哲学领域的学者、学生和对物理学及其哲学问题感兴趣的其他读者，特别是对时空理论、科学发现的逻辑基础、科学史、科学方法论和科学哲学感兴趣的读者。
