Abstract
All physicists who had contributed to the explanation of the relative motion before Einstein, in their calculations, have considered the velocity of light as constant magnitude in all reference frames. But to derive the Lorentz transformations is not enough just to say that velocity of light is constant in all reference frames. For this derivation is needed a “thought experiment” and then in this experiment should be some inconsistent physical assumptions; also should be some non-transparent mathematical equations and only after these can be seen the Lorentz transformations. In this paper we will present a critical review, in physical and mathematical terms, on some parts in the path of constructing of special relativity’s basic equations.
