First, SR is 'wrong'...General Relativity is the one of importance. As far
as whether or not GR is wrong, I don't know. One must perform experiments
to find out.

Autodynamics was a theory to explain some subatomic interactions, and has
since been abandoned as it was found to be wrong. It does not replace
relativity correctly.
