Is it possible to derive the Lorentz transformation from time dilation and length contraction?
If so, how should I start?
I know how to derive it while considering 4 scenarios finding values of A, B,D,E in x'=Ax+Bt t'=Dx+Et
and the transformation is:
x'=(x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
t'=(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
y'=y
z'=z
Thanks beforehand :)
