Like with a river current, the longitudinal motion will be delayed more
than the transverse.
This is the difference that should have been detected by the
Michelson-Morley experiment.
As with water that is not flowing, we don't need these equations without
an ether.
Since relativity does not involve an ether, applying the Lorentz
Transformation in this context is nonsensical.
If you look for equations that describe a universe in which all
observers measure the same speed for light, then you arrive at the
Lorentz transformation. This is why Einstein and Lorentz ended up in the
same place - they both started with the same premise.
