The Significance of Limitations and Properties of Lorentz Transformation in Teaching

Abstract

Widely misused calculator is a Lorentz transformation. It is a calculator that calculates or transforms co-ordinates of the point between two relatively moving inertial reference frames with uniform rectilinear velocity in relation to each other. This calculator shows its works at the end of the event. Means when light reach from event point to the origin of the each moving reference frame. So, in a time t, when light from the event point reach to the origin of each reference frame, a moving reference frame moves a distance vt during that same interval which is shown as "t" in "vt". This is the basic understanding of the situation used in the Lorentz transformation. This confirms the restrictions shown in the article. The Lorentz transformation is applicable only with these restrictions.
