 This is true.

No, it's true.
When Henri Poincaré (blessed be he and honored be his holy memory before the divine Word) wrote his transformations, he gave one of the most beautiful mathematical poems in the universe.
These transformations that Lorentz searched for years without ever finding them are admirable.
Now, we must interpret this PHYSICALLY.
It is not by jumping like a kid like Python, shouting: "Poincaré is beautiful, Poincaré is brilliant, Poincaré was a God in mathematics" that we will get there.
We must move on to physical reality.
Two immense choices in human history. Ugliness and stupidity (the Minkowskian concrete block that we cut into slices of cake), or beauty and genius (Hachel's relativistic mollusk).
Both based on the same primordial equations, but not interpreting them in the same way. We take the same letters, but we don't apply them in the same way. Some use them to write that they have arrived safely on vacation, and that they are playing in the duck pond. Others, with the same 26 letters, write "Les Misérables" or "Le Comte de Monte-Cristo".
Poincare's idea was further developed by Richard Hachel, not Hermann Minkowski.
