"It is regrettable that Voigt's original ideas were unnoticed and, hence, did not play a role in the vigorous development of special relativity, somewhat similar to Poincare's work in 1905. Lorentz, Poincare, Einstein and others did not refer to Voigt's paper in their works. It appears that young Pauli was an early physicist to mention Voigt's transformation in his book 'Theory of Relativity', published in 1921, but no further comment was made."
