  The advent of the 1905 theory of relativity is rightly considered as a
breakthrough moment in the history of physics; in particular. it is widely
accepted that it brought a new conception of space and time. The purpose of
this work is to reevaluate to what point and in what sense can we consider that
the conception of space and time went through a transformation when going from
Newtonian mechanics to the theory of relativity.
