Maxwell equations are invariant with respect to Lorenz transformation

The equations are


divB = 0

divE = 4πρ

rotE =  - (1/c)∂B/∂t;

rotB = (4π/c)J + (1/c)∂E/∂t


They do not change under the Lorenz - Poincare transformation


X  ->  (X - VT) / Sqrt(1 - (V/C)^2)

T -> (T - VX) / Sqrt(1 - (V/C)^2)


Here Sqrt() means square root and C is the speed of light.

This is the reason why Henry Poincare created Special Relativity theory in 1904, only to be plaguarized by Alber Einstein in 1905.

The remaining part of the transformation is;

Ex -> Ex

Ey -> (Ey + (V/C)Bz)/Sqrt(1 - (V/C)^2)

Ez -> (Ez - (V/C)Bz)/Sqrt(1 - (V/C)^2)

Bx -> Bx

By -> (By - (V/C)Ez)/Sqrt(1 - (V/C)^2)

Bz -> (Bz + (V/C)Ey)/Sqrt(1 - (V/C)^2)

ρ -> (ρ - (V/C^2) Jx)/Sqrt(1- (V/C)^2)

Jx -> (Jx -(V/C)ρ)/Sqrt(1 - (V/C)^2)

Jy -> Jy

Jz -> Jz

because it involves not only time and the coordinates, but also the fields, charge density and current density.

Intersting, so you side with Whittaker in that Poincare and Lorentz developed Relativity and not Einstein?

I think one of stark differences was that Poincare was still working his equations based on an Aether in that clocks at rest showed an absolute "true" time. Personally, I think was a very important distinction from Einsteins work.

Poincare was the author of what we now call "Lorenz transform". In his 1905 book "On the Electrodynamics of an Electrone" he created most of what we now call Special Relativity. Every formula Einstein had in his article had already been published by Poincare, but not vice versa. Einstein claimed withour proof that he had never read Poincare's work, which is very hard to believe because Poincare had been working on his ideas on Relativity for 10 years prior to releasing his 1905 article and Einstein's name was unknown to science before 1905.

I know there were a number of Mathematians and Phsycisits whose work definitely contributed, even Minkowski, but wasn't it Einstein who first put forth that the Theory of Relativity only required the invariant speed of light and the homogeneous and isotropic characteristics of the universe to be valid? Wasn't this something no one else, even Poincare, thought of?
