.... without any time vector. Nor did he divide length by sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), he
multiplied.

But the lying ignoramus Einstein CLAIMED

"The special theory of relativity has crystallised out from the
Maxwell-Lorentz theory of electromagnetic phenomena. Thus all facts of
experience which support the electromagnetic theory also support the theory
of relativity."

Such a blatant lie is instantly detected by anyone capable of reading
algebra.
