Default An Interesting Paper Relating the History of Relativity

I stumbled upon this while looking for sonic wave speed equations
of all things...

Hmmm. I like what he is saying at the end. Old Man was trying to make a
point not too long ago that c is purely classical. This guy is saying it
could be a mix of quantum and classical. If it is, then quantum field
theory is possibly a mix of quantum and classical. And maybe that is how
nature really is. A mix of quantum and classical properties.

Thanks Paul!
I am afraid that the author misunderstands Poincare's point of view which
was quite similar to that of Lorentz. For example, in 1908, in "Science et
Methode" after referring to the theory of Lorentz and Fitzgerald he wrote
(translation mine):

"[The earth's] true speed (I understand, this time, not its absolute speed
which has no meaning, but its speed related to the ether), I don't know"

Nevertheless, I find it very interesting and also useful to refer to newbees
here who only know about Einstein's interpretation.
