    We do not realize the immense flash of genius brought to humanity by Poincaré.

    His transformations are as brilliant as they are magnificent. Lorentz
    had searched for them for years, without ever succeeding.

    But Poincaré was an immense mathematician, the greatest of his time.

    Coupled with philosophical reflections and very advanced physical
    knowledge.

    It is very regrettable that out of hatred, out of self-loathing (the
    French people are in the entire history of peoples the ones who are the
    most self-loathing), we have come to adulate instead a 27-year-old
    cretin copyist whose closest friends said that he was incapable of
    dividing by 2.

    It was his friend Grossmann who had to do his calculations.

    But that's life.

    We will return to the transformations given by Poincaré in June 1905
    (copied in September 1905 by Einstein).

    They are magnificent, and open to a lot of conclusions, such as, for
    example, the elasticity of lengths
    by change of reference frame. I wrote: elasticity, not contraction.

    We have a bar of length l in R, what will be its length in R'?

    What does Poincaré tell us?


    That theories your bunch of idiots try to
    "prove", "verify", "confirm" and so on -
    are just the way you speak, and nothing
    more.
    Quite a smart guy indeed, though he didn't
    understand much about it.
