Le fait indiscutable que Einstein plagia Poincaré n'implique pas que
la théorie plagiée était correcte. Les textes suivants montrent, sans
équivoque, que Poincaré était sur le chemin vers la théorie de
l'émission de Newton où la vitesse de la lumière est relative, comme
la vitesse de tout corps en mouvement:

"Truly, Lorentz had to change something to his theory. He makes then
the very astonishing proposal that the ether wind has a dynamical
effect of contraction of all objects along the direction of motion!
This contraction reduces the length of the longitudinal arm of
Michelson's interferometer in such a way that it exactly compensates
the second order effect of Earth motion... (...) This reduction of
length is common to all materials and is therefore not measurable by
any mechanical device (length standards are reduced in just the same
way). In fact, the contraction is indirectly measured by the negative
result of Michelson-Morley's experiment. This is a typical case of
introducing an ad-hoc explanation in order to save a theory!"


Well, they'll make up stories that although Special Theory doesn't
prove length contraction, the General Theory transcends the Special
Theory
in that it permits Generalized Functions, which are not only
undefined,
but indefinable. So by characteristic, it inevitably shows that
strings
are the real underlying symmetry breaking mechanism in the Cosmos.

*Henri Poincaré: "...les termes du second ordre auraient dû devenir
sensibles, et cependant le résultat [de l'expérience de Michelson-
Morley] a encore été négatif, la théorie de Lorentz laissant prévoir
un résultat positif. On a alors imaginé une hypothèse supplémentai
tous les corps subiraient un raccourcissement dans le sens du
mouvement de la Terre... cette étrange propriété semblerait un
véritable coup de pouce donné par la nature pour éviter que le
mouvement de la Terre puisse être révélé par des phénomènes optiques.
Ceci ne saurait me satisfaire et je crois devoir dire ici mon
sentiment: je considère comme très problables que les phénomènes
optiques ne dépendent que des mouvements relatifs des corpes matériels
en presence...et cela non pas aux quantités près de l'ordre du carré
ou du cube de l'aberration, mais rigouresement."

"The French polymath Henri Poincare, charged with producing a keynote
address on the state of physics and the problems the discipline faced,
warned of the need to root out dangerous hypotheses. In an extended
discussion of electrodynamics, and of Hendrik Lorentz's hypothesis of
length contraction by bodies in relative motion, Poincare raised the
prospect that the ether must be abandoned as an unsupported
hypothesis. He discussed the principle of relative motion in his 1900
papers, and named it the principle of relativity in 1904, according to
which no mechanical or electromagnetic experiment can discriminate
between a state of uniform motion and a state of rest. You'll not find
that information in many undergraduate textbooks. Einstein, then aged
just 21, was not in Paris (he was finishing his finals), but
Poincare's paper was published in the leading German physics journal."
