The evidence says otherwise. Here is a simple counter-example.
Consider Einstein's expanding spherical wave of light (1905). With c = 1 and v = 0.9 the projection of Einstein's spherical wave of light in the x-y plane is a circle with the equation:
x^2 + y^2 = c^2t^2 = t^2
and the Lorentz transformation is (beta = 2.294):
x' = 2.294(x - 0.9t)
t' = 2.294(t - 0.9x)
y' = y
Set t = 1, then
x^2 + y^2 = 1
and the Lorentz transformation is:
x' = 2.294(x - 0.9)
t' = 2.294(1 - 0.9x)
y' = y
Transform the (x,y) points (1,0), (0,1), (-1,0), (0,-1) to get the corresponding (x',y') points and associated times t', thus:
(1,0) gives (x' = 0.229, y' = 0), t' = 0.229
(0,1) gives (x' = -2.065, y' = 1), t' = 2.294
(-1,0) gives (x' = -4.359, y' = 0), t' = 4.359
(0,-1) gives (x' = -2.065, y' = -1), t' = 2.294
The (x',y') points above describe an ellipse, not a circle. Now using the corresponding times t' for each x' confirm that x'^2 + y'^2 = c'^2t'^2 = t'^2 (since c = 1). Thus, the Theorem of Pythagoras is form-invariant under Lorentz transformation, but Einstein's circle is not mapped to a circle, but to an ellipse, hence his spherical wave of light mapped to an ellipsoidal wave of light. So Einstein's argument that x^2+y^2+z^2=c^2t^2 under Lorentz transformation is x'^2+y'^2+z'^2=c^2t'^2 means form-invariance of his spherical wave of light, is false. Therefore his Theory of Relativity is false.
