Lorentz transformation

Rare card · No. 63906

In physics, the Lorentz transformations are a six-parameter family of linear transformations from a coordinate frame in spacetime to another frame that moves at a constant velocity relative to the former. The respective inverse transformation is then parameterized by the negative of this velocity. The transformations are named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz. The most common form of the transformation, parametrized by the real constant v , {\displaystyle v,} representing a velocity confined to the x-direction, is expressed as t ′ = γ ( t −...
