EINSTEIN AND MINKOWSKI VERSUS DIRAC AND WIGNER - COVARIANCE VERSUS INVARIANCE

It is pointed out and shown here for the first time that there exists a clear-cut contradiction between the strong demands of the necessity of Lorentz covariance of all physical laws espoused by one set of gian ts of physics such as Einstein, Minkowski, Mach, Poincare, Maxwell, et c., on the one hand, and the sufficiency of Lorentz invariance of phys ical laws with some disregard of the laws of causality advocated by ot her giants of physics, Dirac, Wigner, Feynman, Lee, Yang, etc., on the other hand. It is hoped that the physics (teaching and/or research) c ommunity soon clarifies these terribly confusing and totally contradic tory views that exist among the giants of physics.
