   Einstein wrote this about tau:   
      
   τ = φ(v)β(t − vx/c²)   
   β =1/(1 − sqrt(v²/c²))   
   φ(v)=1   
      
   Also the word 'metric' cannot be found in Einstein's paper.

   Actually it's not.   
      
   There is an equation on page 22, however, which came quite close:   
      
   W = m c² {-1 + sqrt(1/(1- v²/c²))}   
      
   That 'W' meant actually 'work', but Einstein used 'work' (erroneously)   
   as a synonym for energy.   
      
   > It is Einsten's formula for atomic bombs, but has nothing to do with

   >   
   Afaik that equition was known already, long before 1905.
