lorentz transformations
Lorentz transformations refer to the mathematical equations that relate the coordinates and time in one inertial frame of reference to those in another moving inertial frame of reference. They were developed by Hendrik Lorentz and Albert Einstein to describe how space and time coordinates change when observed from different reference frames moving relative to each other at speeds close to the speed of light.
