Just go down through these threads and see the problems that are asked and then try to answer them yourself. Then see how others answer them to see if you are right. You'll learn a lot that way. Of course, some of the answers may be wrong but usually by the end of a thread, the correct answer comes through. Just avoid those very long threads where someone isn't trying to learn but is trying to confuse everyone.

A very nice book on Special Relativity practice problems is:

It is rather pricey though.

Better look inside the book before you buy it to make sure it's the sort of thing you're looking for.
Good point, it may be hard to find it in a bookstore though.

I think this particular book is very comprehensive.
I highly recommend it.

I am of the opinion that one only really understands subject material when one is able to actually perform calculations.

You can look inside online at the link you provided.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
