Why then does Einstein get the credit for Special Relativity?
A. Because history is unfair. B. Because Lorentz’s and Poincar’s work contained errors. C. Because Einstein made the connection to the Michelson-Morley 1887 experiment. D. Because it was Einstein who said that the speed of light is constant. E. Because Einstein abolished the aether. • If light is a wave, what is waving? A. Air. B. Aether. C. Vacuum. D. Electromagnetic fields. E. The speed of light. • Would the light have moved differently if Cerulean had emitted the light? Why? A. Yes. B. No. • If an object moves at LESS than the speed of light, then on a spacetime diagram its worldline must: A. point vertically upward; B. point in some direction < 45 from vertically up; C. point at 45 from vertically up; D. point in some direction > 45 from vertically up; E. any of the above. Wed 2005 Jan 26: • Lorentz, Poincar, and Larmor all independently discovered, before Einstein 1905, that Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism were more beautiful if they transformed according to Lorentz transf
