The physical meaning of the Lorentz transformations is explained by deriving them (and the corresponding pseudo-Euclidean geometry) as transformations on a set of physical observables (or 'information space') obtained by observers in inertial reference frames equipped with frequency (i.e., unified ...

in frameS, wherecis the speed of light. By the first postulate, it must have the equation of the wavefront in frameS′is x′2+y′2+z′2=c2t′2−−−(2) We want to find a transformation that have the exact same form with the equation in that frame when being transformed to ...

It is demonstrated how the right hand sides of the Lorentz Transformation equations may be written, in a Lorentz invariant manner, as 4--vector scalar products. This implies the existence of invariant length intervals analogous to invariant proper time intervals. This formalism, making essential use...
An attempt is made to replace the principle of relativity in the derivation of the Lorentz transformation by an alternative postulate concerning the behavior of clocks. It will be shown by means of thought experiments that this postulate is not quite sufficient to obtain the Lorentz transformations ...
[1], the Lorentz force law was derived by performing a Lorentz transformation of the electromagnetic fields and the space-time coordinates from the rest frame of an electron (where only electrostatic forces act) to the laboratory system where the electron is in motion and so also subjected ...
Experts define Lorentz transformations as a one-parameter family of linear transformations. It is a linear transformation by nature and comprises of rotation of space. Moreover, Lorentz transformations facilitate the preservation of the space-time interv
