1. Limitations of The Theory Of Special Relativity According
To Jainology.....
It is now ripe time for the reconsideration of the principles of the theory of special relativity and the theory of general relativity that have been established by Dr Einstein because some years ago, an Indian scientist, (now in U.S.A.) Dr E.C.G. Sudarshan has mathematically proved the existence of the particles, named TACHYON that have grater velocity than light-velocity.
Till now it is not possible to describe the definite construction and the nature of the atom. We do not have a clear idea of the nature of the atom nor can we explain it. This shortcoming of ours is explicited in the great scientist Michael Faraday's words pronounced in 1833 A.D.:
"But I must confess, I am jealous of the term 'atom' for though it is very easy to talk of atoms, it is very difficult to form a clear idea of their nature, especially when compound bodies are under consideration."
Till this date these words are almost completely true of the nature and construction of atoms, because as day by day the scientists undertake new research works in the field of fundamental particles, the concepts of construction and characteristics of fundamental particles, become more and more complex.
According to the principles of Einstein's theory any physical substance (object) can maintain maximum velocity equal to the velocity of photon particles or light, but can't get more velocity than that of light. And also when the object is in motion, it becomes shorter in length and its mass increases i.e. as the velocity of an object increases its length decreases and mass increases. If the velocity of an object becomes equal to the light-velocity, its length
