All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Abstract:

Errors are inevitable and necessary for personal learning, and even for the development of scientific theories, once detected and corrected. This article demonstrates the existence of several blunders in a historical article, but that is not its main purpose. The main purpose of this article is to denounce the fact that these errors have gone unnoticed for 117 years. And, above all, that once revealed in detail, as will be done here, these errors will continue to be ignored as if they did not exist. And I have no doubt that they will be ignored, because their author is Albert Einstein and his theories are ``sufficiently confirmed by empirical facts''. Therefore, and as a last resort, I am forced to write this article in a provocative tone, which is not my preferred tone. So, I apologize to all those who feel offended by my provocation, but the destiny of science can only be the truth, and only with the truth can we find the true explanation of the world.

Jean de Climont:

Monsieur le Professeur,
Il est vraiment surprenant de trouver tant d'erreurs dans les articles de M. Albert Einstein. J'ai noté une ignorance totale des principes mêmes de la Mécanique des Fluides dans un article de 1926 sur l'origine des méandres des rivières, mais aussi des erreurs grossières dans le traité sur la lumière de la même année que celui que vous évoquez.
Il utilise V pour la vitesse de la lumière et il écrit au paragraphe 6 l'équation de Maxwell Hertz avec 1/V * dB/dt au lieu de 1/V², mais je pense que le plus grave est que les équations qui suivent dans un repère de référence en translation comportent une pétition de principe en ce sens qu' il me semble qu'Einstein suppose que la translation du repère impliquerait une translation du champ magnétique provoquant un champ électrique.
Avec mes meilleurs voeux et mes salutations distinguées.
Jean de Climont

J.Zwarts(Netherlands):

You should seriously look at what Einstein means with what you call [P4]:
- We imagine further that at the two ends A and B of the rod, clocks are placed
which synchronize with the clocks of the stationary system, that is to say that their
indications correspond at any instant to the “time of the stationary system" at
the places where they happen to be. These clocks are therefore “synchronous in
the stationary system."
You mention it but then ignore it.
It will solve your question: "But how on earth do the r-observers OA and OB
come to the conclusions (18)?"
