[QUOTE="robphy, post: 6072157, member: 9587"] Indeed, while there might a sequence of Lorentz transformations that approach the suggested result, there is no such Lorentz transformation that obtains that result... ...since Lorentz transformations are invertible, ...since Lorentz transformations preserve the causal character of the timelike axis and of the spacelike axis. In other words, no matter how close one gets to the suggested result, there is a reference frame where those axes are back in the standard configuration. So, as stated above by others, it can't happen.. those axes cannot coincide. [/QUOTE]
