What did Poincaré obtain by discovering the remaining relativistic velocity transformations?

  • Perfect Invariance of Maxwell's Equations

  • Discovery of the Higgs Boson

  • Unification of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

  • Discovery of Dark Matter

Answer

By discovering the remaining relativistic velocity transformations, Henri Poincaré obtained perfect invariance of all of Maxwell's equations. This achievement was an important step in the formulation of Theory of special relativity, which describes the laws of physics that govern the behavior of objects moving at constant speeds relative to one another.
