Abstract
Using a new form of linear transformation comparable to and including the Lorentz transformation, it is shown that, ceteris paribus, there is an infinity of forms of linear transformations comparable to the Lorentz transformation. In addition, an unsuspected flaw is revealed, namely that the so-called "Lorentz-invariant form" is incompatible with the postulates of the Special Relativity Theory (SRT). This throws strong doubt on the validity of the SRT.
