=== Critical Views of Special Relativity ===

When the assumptions are stated clearly as above, the weaknesses in the theory are more apparent.  There ''is'' action at a distance in [[quantum entanglement]] and apparently also in gravity, as no gravitons can be found. However, no information has yet been transmitted via quantum entanglement, so while non-locality violates the spirit of relativity it is consistent with it if relativity is limited to the transmission of information. [[Quantum field theory]], an attempt to partially reconcile [[quantum mechanics]] with relativity, is incomplete at best.  As to the second assumption, it is contrary to the [[arrow of time]], which illustrates the lack of symmetry in time.  Logical defects include the incoherence of relativistic mass (see discussion below) and the lack of relativistic constraints near the beginning the universe (see above).
