Abstract

The present paper is a continuation of our previous published work where we dispelled the misconception that the three canonical experiments mentioned by H.P. Robertson in his 1949 seminal paper, are all that is necessary and sufficient in deciding if and when an alternative theory of relativity is equivalent to Einstein’s special relativity.
