Time and space are related?

[kor]

Although in Lorentz transformation, we can see that x'= related to x and t
What i dont understand is that
this is the transformation between different frame
If in a single frame
how time and space are related ?

hi kor! :smile:

they aren't …

my time may be a mixture of your time and your space, but it isn't a mixture of my time and my space :wink:

Oh

And that only absolute way to connect your time and space to mine
is spacetime,right?

i'm not sure what that means :confused:

the way to connect your time and space to mine (if we have different velocities) is through the Lorentz transformation

In a single frame they are unrelated; this is the same as in Newton's mechanics. And note that already in the Galilean transformation we have x' related to x and t. :smile:
