1) Lorentz's transformation doesn't require an aether. 
2) From which level of hell did this straw dog come?

You are ignorant. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation

Note that the Lorentz Transformation predates Einstein's paper by about 8 
years.

"Einstein's theory" is crap If and Only If electromagnetism is crap, 
because the Lorentz transformation is simply the transform that holds 
Maxwell's equations invariant. 

Either  electromagnetism, or Henry Wilson is crap. 

Electromagnetism predicts, thus is not crap. Ergo, Henry Wilson is crap.

Test: Does Henry Wilson post stupid gibberish? Check!

Ummm. No. You got that wrong as well.
