Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond disturbs Einsteiniana's serenity: http://ebook30.com/science/mathematics/114730/introduction-to-special-relativity.html "My first remark is that I cannot understand the reason why textbooks in English (as this one) insist in deriving the Lorentz transformation using Einstein's second postulate on the speed of light: as already pointed out by Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond (Am. J. Phys., Vol. 44, pp. 271-277, 1976), this second postulate is not only superfluous but also epistemological misleading..." Pentcho Valev wrote: The solution to the fundamental problem of theoretical science offered by Einsteiniana's highest priests: http://o.castera.free.fr/pdf/onemorederivation.pdf Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond: "The evidence of the nonzero mass of the photon would not, as such, shake in any way the validity of the special relalivity. It would, however, nullify all its derivations which are based on the invariance of the photon velocity." Are the concepts of time dilation and length contraction, Einsteiniana's most famous miracles, results of "derivations which are based on the invariance of the photon velocity"? Or, perhaps, "the evidence of the nonzero mass of the photon would not, as such, shake in any way" their validity? For more than 30 years no one has asked any such question and, accordingly, Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond sees no reason why he should answer. At present the most serious discussion of Einstein's relativity in France is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN4DthXDu68 Pentcho Valev pvalev@yahoo.com
