Historically, perhaps.
(but Lorentz wouldn't have agreed with you)

But all that is a thing of the past.
Nowadays the Lorentz transform doesn't have anything to do
with any kind of physics.
It tells us what kind of space-time we live in,
so all physical theories must be locally Lorentz-invariant,
(or be wrong before they even get started)
