Abstract:
Einstein is known for the practice of almost never citing the works of others. The reason for this is that he took the results of published works that he found interesting and tried to derive them in such a way that it was difficult to discover that they were the already known results. The most famous results he had chosen were: The clock synchronization method of Poincaré, the mass-energy relation m=E/c² of Poincaré, the deflection of light at the solar limb of Soldner, and the perihelion rotation of Gerber.
Poincaré considered in his derivation of the m=E/c² relation the mechanical recoil which is supposed to result from the emission of the electromagnetic radiation [1], while Einstein considered the energy of the emitted radiation [2]. Both considerations are based on the assumption that the energy variation results solely from the considered reference frame.

It is an interesting article which shed light on historical scientific events and ideas that are rarely discussed, although unknown to most of physicists.
