Question about the Lorentz transform
Relevant Equations
No equations needed for this.
Image below. Is the Lorentz transform just switching between a stationary frame and a moving frame?

I forgot to write Alice's frame but I assume that is obvious.

Is there a problem statement that goes along with this, or did you think we could just read your mind?

No i just want to confirm I undertstand conceptually the Lorentz transform.

The Lorentz Transformation transforms spacetime coordinates between two inertial reference frames.
