Answer
Whittaker, a British mathematician and physicist, aligned himself with Lorentz and Poincaré in the relativity priority dispute. Despite Einstein receiving credit for Theory of relativity, Whittaker believed that Lorentz and Poincaré had made significant contributions that deserved recognition. He argued that their work laid the foundation for Einstein's theory, especially in the realm of Lorentz transformations and the concept of relative time.
