I have recenly registered to a physics forum website https://www.physicsforums.com/, where i was paying special interest to Special and General Relativity category.
A few days ago, there was a discussion about the interval transformations under Lorentz transformations.
Some contributors/moderators there don't seem to believe that the space and time coordinate differences Δx or Δt do transform under Lorentz transformations (which is obvious due to the linearity of the transformation) or that these intervals could even be used to demonstrate the length contraction or time dilation phenomena, simply showing that they don't understand even the basis and real signification of the Lorentz transformation!
