The difference between Lorentz's Transformation in Lorentz's theory and Lorentz's Transformation in Einstein's Special Relativity is not mathematical but ontological and epistemological and, being so, it was to be expected the emergence of historians, scientists, and philosophers that, not having understood in depth the philosophical content and transcendence of the theory, would minimize Einstein's contribution.

Summary

This quote suggests that the difference between Lorentz's Transformation in Lorentz's theory and in Einstein's Special Relativity is not just about mathematics, but also about fundamental concepts of reality and knowledge. It implies that some individuals who have failed to truly grasp the philosophical depth and significance of Einstein's theory tend to downplay his contributions. In essence, the quote emphasizes the importance of understanding the philosophical implications and wider context of scientific theories and discoveries.
