Break through the shackles of tradition

D must be wrong. At that time, Lorenz had discovered that "the clock in motion slows down and the ruler in motion becomes shorter", which was called Lorenz transformation to distinguish it from galilean transformation. But he didn't "break through the shackles of traditional thought" and couldn't upgrade it to a brand-new theory or concept (he just used this assumption to explain Michelson's experiment). However, Einstein did it.
