Physics: Evaluating a Lorentz transformation
Beschrijving
We'll consider an example of the Lorentz transformation with actual numbers, and analyze the results we get.
Physics
Learn about the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. Solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry necessary.
Lorentz transformation
We'll now put some algebraic meat on our special relativity bone by introducing ourselves to the Lorentz transformation. Interestingly, Lorentz came up with them before Einstein introduced Special Relativity as a nice way to reconcile some observations, but special relativity gave them real conceptual meat. The Lorentz transformation is going to allow us to calculate the spacetime coordinates in di…

Interestingly, Lorentz came up with them before Einstein introduced Special Relativity as a nice way to reconcile some observations, but special relativity gave them real conceptual meat. The Lorentz transformation is going to allow us to calculate the spacetime coordinates in different frames of reference!
