• TITLE: On the Implementation of the Method of Derivation of Lorentz Transformations Used by Einstein

  ABSTRACT: The Lorentz transformations are the mathematical basis of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. We conduct a thorough examination of the method of derivation of the Lorentz transformations used by Einstein and identify the cause of the incorrect implementation of the method. The cause is related to the incorrect proof of the equality φ( v )=1 for the unknown function φ( v ) arising in the process of derivation of the Lorentz transformations. We develop proof of the equality φ( v )=1 and eliminate the cause of the incorrect implementation of the method of derivation of the Lorentz transformations used by Einstein.
