Abstract
Lorentz has developed a set of equations so that one could transform the parameters x, v and t from one frame of reference into a new one, taking into account the invariance of the velocity of light. Almost at the same time, Einstein proposed a physical model and synchronization methods to demonstrate the relativity of simultaneity. We show that Einstein’s prediction of relativity of simultaneity is not compatible with the Lorentz’s equations.
