The discussion centers on the determination of Lorentz transformations using elementary geometry and the implications of light travel time on observed positions of moving bodies. Participants emphasize that Lorentz transformations are not merely geometric but involve physical principles, particularly in Minkowski space. The conversation highlights the necessity of understanding how light travel time affects the perceived positions of points A and B on a moving object, ultimately leading to the conclusion that Lorentz transformations preserve the Lorentz interval, ensuring consistency in observations across different frames of reference.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, students of relativity, and anyone interested in the mathematical foundations of Lorentz transformations and their applications in understanding motion and observation in physics.
If you don't know then isn't it a little premature to claim the impossibility? After all, it isn't a violation of the laws of physics, just a strange optical phenomenon in the midst of many strange phenomena.atto said:I have seen such rotated images, but I don't know how these was calculated, because it's rather impossible.
