Default Understanding Einstein's simple derivation of the LorentzTransformation

Damn it!!

Einstein did NOT derive the Lorentz transformation.

Lorentz derived the Lorentz transformation.

.... 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.

Other than the misspelling, what is not true about that statement?

****ing hell, I just told you.
Einstein divides length by sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
Lorentz multiplies length by sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
What are you, ****ing thick?

I'm 100% certain you are ****ing stupid and don't know multiplication from
division
even when it is shoved in your face. You are not sure.

I have a couple of editions of that book.

What page has the problem that confuses you?

Then read one and throw the other away, imbecile.

| So, you can't find that page.

I gave you a citation. If you can't read algebra that's your problem,
****head.
I suppose I'll have to spoon-feed a ****ing moron.
Page 7, line 15:
"a shortening in the direction of motion..."
Since sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) is less than 1, the length is shortened by
multiplication.
Now find Einstein's version on your own, you stupid *******.
You're totally ignorant, immature, egotistical, and a ****in' cretin.
Math-wise, you're totally ignorant.

I disagree. Lorentz obtained the transform equation via an ansatz, without
justification or explanation. He did not even display them in the form we use
today until after 1905. Einstein derived them from his two postulates, and
displayed them in the form used today. I believe Einstein was instrumental in
christening them "Lorentz transformations". The earlier paper by Voigt that
displayed an equivalent transform was not (re-)discovered until the name
"Lorentz transform" was well established.

ansatz, great. that was good one,
"throw the other, where I can find it."

this one really believes in the null results
of the Mmx, insofar as they are.

thus quoth:
You need to leave out “symmetries”. SR is just nonsense. All the
transforms that satisfy the null results of the MMX also lead to a
symmetry around the absolute frame of reference. sh

Wanna bet, Marvin!

The Lorentz transformation was originally the result of attempts by
Lorentz and others to explain how the speed of light was observed to be
independent of the reference frame, and to understand the symmetries of
the laws of electromagnetism. Albert Einstein later re-derived the
transformation from his postulates of special relativity. The Lorentz
transformation supersedes the Galilean transformation of Newtonian
physics, which assumes an absolute space and time (see Galilean
relativity). See: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/
