The only pure mathematical error in the special theory of relativity
Two linear equations are independent if none of them can be derived algebraically from the other. This condition does not meet the transformation equation of the x
coordinate and the transformation equation of time t into the Lorentz transformation. Despite this, these two equations in the special
theory of relativity are treated as linearly independent. This is the only pure mathematical error in this theory.
Keywords: Linear Dependence; Lorentz Transformation; Velocity Addition Formula
