Pot. Kettle. Black.

Then it's still wrong (-, not ?), and it's still not the
"Lorentz transformation".

I thought the 1/ is hidden somewhere in this strange "&#8730;".

Wrong. Lorentz discussed time dilation.

They do. Hint: Lorentz boosts are not always in x direction.

Oh, that explains why I managed to get a PhD, right?

And really totally clueless.
