No, I'm correct. You simply don't know what science is and conflate it
with philosophy. A common confusion around here.

Of course incorrect. Like giving a once multilateral developed country in 
the hands of an electrician. What a mess. A provided Mechanism is however 
the farthest from a philosophy as you can get. A _mechanism_ is pure 
Physics. Used and abused in Math Modelling and Scientific Computation. 
Vastly involving governing equations, predominately PDEs.

I imagine that the "electrician" could be Lech Wałęsa, which only makes
the rest of his comments even more mystifying.

The rest of his commentary seems to be a statement that real physics
requires discovering the MECHANISMS underlying observed phenomena, 
i.e. the ability to accurately model and make accurate predictions 
accounts for nothing. Over-dependence on mathematics would represent 
a perversion of the true path or something. I think.

You contradict yourself shamelessly, proka. You can't have it both 
understood and mystifying, same time.

You can't read, nor rationalize. Which indicates a severe incompetence. 
Real Physics today is about 90% Math Modelling and Scientific Computation. 
All of which are based around a Mechanism. That's a requirement, not up to 
debate. That's the only way you can simulate data, make predictions and so 
on.

You think wrong. See above. The Nature IS mathematics.

cretin. Which letter you are having problem with. How could a mechanism be

But there is no evidence of your claim that it was Einstein’s *motivation*
for OEoMB.  In fact, as I just said, Einstein explicitly says what his
motivation was for OEoMB *in the introduction of OEoMB*, and it is not what
you claim.

If only you could read comprehensively.

No, it was not.  As I have just showed, Lorentz published his final version
of the transformation equations in 1904-07.  By then they were *still*
incomplete, and the underlying theory without an explanation for the used
concept of “local time”.  At that time, Lorentz considered the equations
only a mathematical trick to make his aether theory work:

  ”One will notice that in this work the transformation equations of
   Einstein’s Relativity Theory have not quite been attained. […]
   On this circumstance depends the clumsiness of many of the further
   considerations in this work.”

     —Lorentz’ remark in a 1913 reprint of his 1904 paper

This was the year before Einstein submitted on OEoMB (1905-06-30), when
Einstein was still working as a clerk the Swiss Patent Office.

The explanation for local time in the context of aether theory was given,
but not published before 1906, by Poincaré (submitted 1905-06-05), at
approximately the same time that Einstein submitted OEoMB (1905-06-30; in
which he independently and based only on the two postulates found the
correct equations).  It was Poincaré who in his paper called the equations
“Lorentz transformations” for the first time.

Why, despite and in light of freely available evidence to the contrary,
do you make up things and pretend that they are true?

Well, OBVIOUSLY nobody knows what's inside anyone else's head. When people say
things like "Mr. X's motivation was such-and-such" it OBVIOUSLY means the most
plausible (by far) conclusion based on observation. So when you read Einstein's
paper it's OBVIOUSLY motivated by the desire to justify the (well-known by then) Lorentz
transformation as a true physical transformation of observed quantities and what this
means for E and B so transformed.

Yes it was. It was not fully taught at the university at the time and Einstein complained
that he had to learn this stuff himself.

I'm no historian so I'm relying on Wikipedia here: Lorentz (1892–1904) and Larmor (1897–1900)
investigated what's known today as "Lorentz transformation" and Maxwell's equations'
invariance properties. In particular, they noticed the need for the new time coordinate which
most assumed was just a mathematical artefact. I'd be very surprised if Einstein was
unaware of this. His paper's smoking gun is the fact that the transformed E and B fields
can be treated on equal footing physically with the original E and B, so he must have known
all that stuff before November 1905, obviously.

Einstein studied for a physics teacher diploma at the Zurich Polytechnic
(now the ETH) from 1896 to 1900.

    [A diploma in Switzerland is not necessarily a university degree; it can
     also mean a formal certification to be able to take up work in a field.
     Finding work as a physics teacher is what Einstein tried and failed
     from 1900 to 1902, therefore the Patent Office job in 1902 he got
     through is friend and former classmate Marcel Grossmann.]

Lorentz published *his* final version of the LT in 1904-07.  That version
still contained *undefined* and *unexplained* factors.

Einstein submitted OEdoMB in 1905-06 when working as an assistant examiner
level III at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern (close to where I live).

*Of course* it was not taught “at the university” at the time!  It was _not_
“standard expert knowledge”, but more like Lorentz’ pet theory (that,
provably and proved, he himself was not very much convinced of).  [Lorentz
did _not_ receive his 1902 Nobel Prize for his aether theory.]

> and Einstein complained that he had to learn this stuff himself.

Once again your claim requires evidence.  And I suspect that once again you
will not provide any, but open up another side show instead.

Which obviously you are unable to read *comprehensively* despite being
referred to the pertinent articles.  Hopeless.

The exact submit date is clearly seen in the final page of the original paper
(see last page of https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/andp.19053221004 )
as "Eingegangen 30. Juni 1905."

So the paper was sent on June 30, 1905 and published on September 26, 1905.

That depends on how one defines “submit date”.  You are correct if you mean
the date that the journal received the paper for consideration of
publication; you are incorrect if, as your statement at the bottom
indicates, you mean the date that the paper was sent by Einstein.

Unbeknownst to me until now, it can now be found there because Wiley-VCH in
Weinheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (formerly Verlag Chemie, since 1996 a
wholly owned subsidiary of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ, USA), is
the publisher of the „Annalen der Physik“ since 1988.

An annotated copy and the official translation into English can be found in
“THE COLLECTED PAPERS OF ALBERT EINSTEIN, Vol. 2: The Swiss Years: Writings,
1900-1909”:

<https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-doc/342>

> as "Eingegangen 30. Juni 1905."
      ^^^^^^^^^^^
„Eingegangen“ means “received” in German (“sent” would be „gesendet“), so
this is _not_ the date on which the paper was sent, but the date on which it
was received.

The official English translation makes that clear to those who do not know
German:

,-<https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-trans/185>
|
| […]
|
| Bern, June 1905. (Received on 30 June 1905)

The first date is the month in which the paper was finished and probably
also submitted via mail.  In the German original, it can be found on its own
line:

,-<https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-doc/342>
|
| Bern, Juni 1905.

(„Juni“ is German for “June”)

It is possible, even likely, that this line was written by Einstein.

    [In case the reader has not realized it yet: I, too, am a born German
     living in Switzerland.  The „Einsteinhaus“ in Bern, where Einstein
     lived when he was in Bern; the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual
     Property (IPI), formerly the Swiss Patent Office, where Einstein
     worked; and the University of Bern where he later taught (and where
     I am studying physics), are all only about 30 minutes by foot, train,
     and tram/bus from where I am writing this.

     You should come visit the excellent Einstein Museum exhibition in the
     Bernisches Historisches Museum (Bern Historical Museum), where, among
     other things, the original papers as published in the „Annalen“ can be
     viewed.  Maybe you even should visit the Einsteinhaus in the Kramgasse
     (I have not been there yet, so I do not know if it is worth a visit,
     too; it is comparably expensive).  In August, you can visit the museum
     for free on Saturdays.  (I am not affiliated.)

     <https://www.einstein-bern.ch/>]

> So the paper was sent on June 30, 1905 and published on September 26, 1905.

No, it was *received* then by scientific journal „Annalen der Physik“
(“Annals of Physics”), probably by the then-editor, the German physicist
Paul Karl Ludwig Drude in Giessen (Hesse, Germany), on 1905-06-30; published
by the then-publisher, the “Verlag Johann Ambrosius Barth“ in Leipzig
(Saxonia, Germany), on 1905-09-26.

At the time, in Switzerland, mail was primarily transported by the
Schweizerische Post by train and motorcar, but also still by stagecoach;
in Germany, the Reichspost already had switched to bicycles, motorcars and
vans.  Currently, according to the Schweizerische Post, it takes a standard
letter (“ECONOMY”) 4 to 8 days from Switzerland to Germany; so we can assume
that in 1905 the paper was finished and submitted by Einstein in Bern about
two weeks before it was received in Germany.

It is unclear, but also possible, that Einstein sent the paper first to
Max Planck in Berlin, or sent or gave it to his assistant Max von Laue who
was closer, in Göttingen, at the time (1903–1905; in one of the season 1
episodes 1 to 4 of the National Geographic Channel series “Genius”, von Laue
is depicted as having been sent by Planck to visit Einstein at the Patent
Office in 1905 *after* the publication), who then sent it to Drude or gave
it to him at a meeting at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin.  Then
the reception date could also be that of von Laue’s in Göttingen or Planck’s
in Berlin instead.

Do you really think that anybody actually makes a difference there. When I have
sent a paper, the only relevant date is when the journal acknowledges its
reception (which nowadays is the same time: I hit the PC button and the
reception letter with the date and time the journal received the paper, is
getting into my email)

Again, why is that relevant to you?. The paper was received by the journal on
that date (June 30th, 1905) and not in 1906 as you wrongly stated.

No, for instance the theory of Strings was sent by snail mail. In paper 
format.

You stated that Einstein had sent the paper on that date.  Your statement
was wrong and required correction.

Yes, but not sent by Einstein on that date “as *you* wrongly stated”.

I did not state that.

Exactly. And one interesting thing Einstein does in his 1905 paper is showing how
his postulates imply the multiplicative factor in transformed Maxwell is equal to 1.

Point is Einstein really was bothered by this and IIRC as a student he lobbied
for an electrodynamics course but his pleas were ignored.

So you are saying Wikipedia is wrong when they say that Lorentz (1892–1904) and Larmor 
(1897–1900) had the transformation worked out down to and including the appearance of
the new time variable? And you are saying Einstein didn't know this and didn't want
to show how to make the transformed electromagnetic fields physical? What are you
saying, except splitting hairs?

Not even wrong.

First of all, *maybe* known to Einstein, Lorentz had set the factor to 1
(unity) in 1904 already:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_ether_theory#Lorentz_transformation>

Second, none of this implies or proves your claim that *proving* the LT was
Einstein’s *motivation* for OEdoMB.  In fact, it is *evident in Einstein’s
own words* that Einstein, although he was an admirer of Lorentz’ work in
general, did NOT believe in Lorentz’ aether theory when writing OEdoMB:

| Examples of a similar kind, and the failure of attempts to detect a
| motion of the earth relative to the "light medium", lead to the conjecture
| that not only in mechanics, but in electrodynamics as well, the phenomena
| do not have any properties corresponding to the concept of absolute rest,
| but that in all coordinate systems in which the mechanical equations are
| valid, also the same electrodynamic and optical laws are valid, as has
| already been shown for quantities of the first order.

But the LT was merely a part of, and a mathematical justification for,
that aether theory at the time (aether = “light medium”).  So I guess
Einstein must have been both surprised and satisfied when it turned out that
the two principles that he postulated led to the LT of a theory that he did
not believe in, as that showed that the aether of that theory that bothered
him so much was a superfluous assumption after all.  This is *evident* in
the introduction:

| […]
| These two postulates suffice for arriving at a simple and consistent
| electrodynamics of moving bodies on the basis of Maxwell's theory for
| bodies at rest.

Note: NOT Lorentz’ electrodynamics, which is comparably complicated as it
requires many assumptions to be consistent.

| The introduction of a "light ether" will prove superfluous, inasmuch as in
| accordance with the concept to be developed here, no "space at absolute
| rest" endowed with special properties will be introduced, nor will a
| velocity vector be assigned to a point of empty space at which
| electromagnetic processes are taking place.

This is basically Einstein gloating, “look, I have found a simpler explanation”.

The next sentence starts with

| Like every other electrodynamics, […]

and shows again Einstein’s strong conviction that *his* theory and *his*
electrodynamics are the correct explanation for the observations, NOT
Lorentz’ aether.

Everyone who has the first clue about Einstein knows why: Although he ended
up as a theoretical physicist, up to general relativity at least he was
driven by experiment, and could not accept anything, even his own theories,
that could not be experimentally demonstrated (that was one of his problems
with early quantum mechanics, too).  The Lorentzian aether could not be
experimentally demonstrated *by definition* (Lorentz 1904), therefore
Einstein in 1905 could not accept it as a given.

AFAICS, in the paper, Einstein mentions Lorentz by name only two times, and
there is no mention of a “Lorentz transformation” at all (of course not,
Poincaré’s 1905 paper which introduced the term was published *in 1906*):

| If the electric masses are conceived as permanently bound to small,
| rigid bodies (ions, electrons), then these equations constitute the
| electromagnetic foundation of Lorentz's electrodynamics and optics of
| moving bodies.
| […] we have thus demonstrated that with our kinematic principles taken
| as a basis, the electrodynamic foundation of Lorentz's theory of the
| electrodynamics of moving bodies agrees with the principle of relativity.

Note: The “electrodynamic *foundation*”, so _not_ the aether part.

So far they come WITH NO REFERENCES AT ALL.

Fallacy: Shifting the burden of proof.  All your assertions and bedtime
stories are WORTHLESS as long as YOU do not SUBSTANTIATE them with EVIDENCE.
 That is a KEY concept of the SCIENTIFIC method.

What you are claiming could all be just hearsay, and it probably is.

Nonsense.  Instead, the LT is the inevitable *consequence* of the two
postulates.  Those postulates are not really Einstein’s idea, but merely
acknowledging, for the first time together, two experimental facts:

  1. One cannot tell whether one is in inertial motion without external
     reference. (principle of relativity)

  2. The speed of light is constant in the chosen rest frame.
     (principle of light constancy)

From (1) and (2) follows that the speed of light is the same in every frame
of reference, regardless of relative motion.  And from that everything else
follows.
