Do you know why Einstein newer received the Nobel Prize for "his" work on special relativity?E=mc^2 formula was obtained by Poincare and Lorentz.This is the reason that modern historians provide no credibility to physicists' claim that was Einstein's.
Precisely, it was Lorentz who objected the Nobel Prize was awarded to Einstein for SR(special relativity).
Poincare published the theory of relativity before Einstein did in 1904 . Poincare did eventually do the math of deriving Lorentz's transformations from relativistic postulates but that paper came out AFTER Einstein's. Moreover, Einstein said newer read to Poincare but at least two colleagues said the contrary
Einstein cited Lorentz as the father of Lorentz transformations but does not cited to Poincare and did not cite that mass formula was also from Lorentz. Lorentz had his transformations in the 1890's. Lorentz (physicist) was working in the solving of a physical problem not in pure mathematical machinery. After, Lorentz worked in his incorrect molecular force hypothesis. Lorentz said “Einstein simply postulates what we have deduced... from the equations of the electromagnetic field”.
The theory of relativity was completely done by Poincare. Einstein simply copied. In fact the two postulates of Einstein (1905) are exactly the two postulates of Poincare (1904), exactly the same!
Einstein's paper on the subject, contain an incorrect derivation of E=mc^2 as noted by Ives, Planck, Stark, and others, which imply that copied the formula.
There is also historical evidence that Einstein copied to Hilbert the equations of GR(General Relativity)
Although Einstein got the Nobel Prize in 1921 for his work on the photo electric effect in a paper also published in his golden year, 1905. You could also ask the question, why didn't Einstein get the Nobel Prize for his work on Brownian motion which basically finally proved the existence of molecules (and thus atoms) by making testable predictions which were shown to be accurate by Jean Baptiste Perrin - who won the Nobel Prize in 1926.
One has to conclude that Einstein was the most brilliant copy cat in the history of physics. I don't attack everybody, but I attack people who make phony claims.
