EINSTEINIANS AGAINST EINSTEIN'S SECOND POSTULATE |
http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Special-Relativity-2-nd/dp/0198539525
"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 -- see, e.g., the French textbook by J.
Hladik and M. Chrysos (Introduction a la Relativite Restreinte, Dunod,
Paris, 2001) which can be bought at Amazon.fr."
Incredible! Absolutely incredible! This Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond should
be locked in a dark room with a single picture on the wall:

If he can't sing the hymn "Divine Einstein" (many Einsteinians are not
programmed for music) he should at least learn by rote this:

Finally, he should be forced to visit centers for children education
where he should shout endlessly, together with the children:

"Einstein! Einstein! He's our man! Einstein! Einstein! He's our man!
If he can't solve it, no one can!"
