Abstract

Special Relativity Theory (SRT) proved to be in the excellent compatibility with classical electrodynamics. However, there are several logically deduced discrepancies inherent in SRT itself named paradoxes, which demand a scrupulous examination. The “twin paradox” is one most in fame. In this paper a new thought experiment, including three different observers (triplets) is presented. As distinct from the notorious “twin paradox” we suggest a case where two persons are moving in opposite directions in a manner symmetrical to the basic frame of reference staying at rest. This consideration leads to a contradiction in the notion of “relativity of simultaneity”, which restricts the area of the lawful implementation ability for Lorentz transformations.
