Well, yeah, there might be a clue there. Lorentz was trying to
describe electromagnetism when he derived his equations. Einstein was
trying to describe transmission of light. Einstein used the wrong
equations. He should have used the Galillean transformation equations
with his idea.
The problem is, they don't work if you have the speed of light as a
constant maximum speed (c)
eg consider a photon A moving in the x direction and one B moving in
the -x direction. Both going at speed c (one at velocity +c, other at
velocity -c, in x-axis)Looks at the frame of reference of A. Relative to
that, B is going a 2c. But that contradicts c being a constant maximum
speed.

Ignorance can be lethal.
Do something about at

I don't think he'll read it, yet alone believe or understand it .. rb only
believes something if it is "common sense", which as we all know is the
ultimate test of a scientific theory as common sense is never wrong (yes ..
that is sarcasm).
