ABSTRACT

You are all familiar with the Lorentz transformation. For motion along the z axis the transformation equations between two Lorentz frames are z ′   =   ( z    −    vt ) / ( 1    −    v 2 ) 1 / 2   =   z   cosh   u    −    t   sinh   u t ′   =   ( t    −    vz ) / ( 1    −    v 2 ) 1 / 2   =   t   cosh   u    −    z   sinh   u x ′   =   x   y ′   =   y https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429492501/e6a0c676-1f8d-4684-97a0-6bf3353f7ce0/content/eq73.tif"/>
