Abstract
This article will critique certain aspects of Einstein's theory of relativity. It is a commentary on the previously published article "Critique of the Theory of Relativity." This article presents critical remarks about the Hafele-Keating experiment. This experiment was originally intended to prove the truth of general and special relativity. There are no criticisms of the experiment itself, but the conclusions drawn from it favor the theory of relativity, to the benefit of this theory and its author. In other words, the experimenters engaged in fraud.
