Quick version of Lev’s “brochure”: quackery

First, Lorentz considered a more general form of transformations (with a scale factor), but then he, and also Poincare and Einstein equated it 1 without proper grounds. Their form was artificially narrowed, the formulas became incorrect. This led to a logical contradiction of the theory, to unsolvable paradoxes. For more details, see my brochure “Memoir on the Theory of Relativity and Unified Field Theory” (2000):

Of course, since they also dislike complex numbers, mathematical proof by contradiction, different scales of infinity (in mathematics), and other elements of basic mathematics and science, it could be that they’re just a little nutty over there.
