Theory of Relativity: Simplified

Special Relativity: Understanding Lorentz Transformations


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore Lorentz transformations, the mathematical framework that makes special relativity possible. These transformations describe how time and space measurements change for observers moving at different speeds, especially near the speed of light. We’ll explain why the Lorentz transformations are essential for understanding concepts like time dilation and length contraction and how they allow us to reconcile the constant speed of light across all reference frames. By the end, you’ll understand how these transformations help redefine our experience of time and space, forming the foundation for the incredible insights of special relativity.
