Criteria for defining errors of a physical theory are formulated.
It is shown that the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) has a
solid mathematical basis. An enormous amount of experiments
carried out in particle physics use beams of particles having a
very high energy. The data of these experiments are consistent
with STR and support our confidence that STR is an excellent
theory. Several specific cases of this issue are discussed
explicitly. Contrary to a common belief, it is proved that the
contemporary mainstream of physicists adhere to some theoretical
ideas that violate STR.
