TL;DR: Galilean relativity and absolute space basic postulates of special relativity and relativistic kinematics were derived by as mentioned in this paper for binary collisions tachyons in a vacuum environment, and they were used to define the relativistically kinematic model of binary collisions.

TL;DR: The behaviour and the mechanism of the propagation of light are not at the foundations of special relativity, and the axiom of the constancy of the speed of light is quite unnecessary.
Abstract: Special relativity derives directly from the principle of relativity and from Newton's laws of motion with a single undetermined parameter, which is found from Faraday's and Ampere's experimental work and from Maxwell's own introduction of the displacement current to be the − c −2 term in the Lorentz transformations. The axiom of the constancy of the speed of light is quite unnecessary. The behaviour and the mechanism of the propagation of light are not at the foundations of special relativity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the perception of events in two inertial reference frames in relative motion from the perspective of the Special Relativity postulates, leading to the Lorentz transformation equations for the time and space coordinate in the relative motion direction.
Abstract: The perception of events in two inertial reference frames in relative motion was analyzed from the perspective of the Special Relativity postulates, leading to the Lorentz transformation equations for the time and space coordinate in the relative motion direction. Yet, straightforward inconsistencies were identified upon examining the conversion of the time interval between two co-local events in the traveling reference frame. The approach used in the Special Relativity formulation to get around the identified inconsistencies was revealed. Subsequent mathematical contradictions in the Lorentz transformation equations, disproving the Special Relativity predictions, were shown.
