	A Question of Time: The Lorentz Transformation
		Lorentz thought that perhaps the molecules of a solid might be compressed in the direction of motion, and this could explain why the time of travel is the same in both directions.
		Lorentz conjectured as early as 1895 that perhaps the rod parallel to the earth’s movement might shrink because ‘electrons would lose their spherical shape due to the earth’s motion’.
		Lorentz quantified his conjecture in a paper in 1904.

	Lorentz transformation Summary
		The Lorentz transformations are a general group of equations that comprise a four-dimensional transformation, a transformation that involves the three-dimensions of space and time as the fourth dimension, that is satisfied by all four-vectors, a four-element vector.
		To formulate the transformations Lorentz made two assumptions: that the speed of light was a constant for any observers regardless of their respective motions, and that the transformation between observers in different inertial frames of reference is linear.
		The Lorentz transformations were published in 1897 and 1900 by Joseph Larmor and by Hendrik Lorentz in 1899 and 1904.

	Lorentz factor - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In special relativity, the Lorentz factor or Lorentz term is a term that appears very often and is used to make writing equations easier.
		It is used in time dilation, length contraction, and to convert rest mass to relativistic mass, among others.
		The Lorentz factor applies to time dilation, length contraction and relativistic mass relative to rest mass in Special Relativity.

	C-ship: The Lorentz Contraction
		What's actually going on in the Lorentz contraction, as we'll discover a bit further down the road, is that as you approach the speed of light, you're increasingly looking at the four-dimensional fabric of space and time "edge-on", causing space and time to mix.
		Using the powerful sensor array of the Lorentz, we're viewing the Minkowski from so far away she doesn't appear to move with respect to the distant lattice during the movie.
		The Minkowski is conducting a survey of the Lattice, and her control computer has fired thrusters to cause the ship to pitch around an axis perpendicular to the direction of travel, allowing the sensors to sweep in a full circle.

		Fitzgerald and Lorentz independently suggested that motion might cause a change of length in the direction of motion.
		If we substitute the modern "c" for "V", we have the Lorentz factor as it is commonly seen today.
		Bear in mind that this was not the reason for the low results of the Michelson-Morley experiment or of low results of the ones of a similar nature which followed.

		It is the imposition of this condition on such triangles which produces the Lorentz factor.
		In this connection the relation between the ordinary and the accented magnitudes is given by the Lorentz transformation.
		Thus, the meter stick of K' obtained from K in accordance with the Lorentz transformation equations would be 1 meter long in K' - as measured in K' - have the same number of atoms - but its atoms would be expanded because of greater energy.

	Unified Theory: Where Lorentz & Einstein went so wrong
		Although this solved the discrepancy between theory and experiment, it degraded the scientific laws, as the correction factor could not be explained in terms of a physical model.
		Lorentz and Einstein were wrong in their interpretation of experimental results.
		This means that most mathematics derived by Einstein and Lorentz still hold true, but have a different meaning, a meaning which unlike time dilation and distance contraction, does make sense and can be easiely explained by a physical model of the particles' actual path of travel.

	On Misunderstandings of Special Relativity (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When we apply Postulate 1 using this Lorentz factor, we find that the values of energy (and therefore mass) which we expect to vary from inertial frame to inertial frame.
		But he cannot, because, perhaps astonishingly, the Lorentz contracted simulateneity measurement allows exact calculation of a simulateity measurement in K', a measurement which cannot be made.
		The Lorentz transformation equations for time and distance are a consequence of postulates 1 and 2.

	A Question of Time:Home
		The Lorentz Transformation, in turn, was used by Einstein to claim that space and time are deformable due to motion, as formulated in his Special Relativity Theory (SRT) in 1905.
		The Lorentz Transformation, LT for short, is based on a mathematical error that has not been detected for one hundred years.
		Conclusion: The Lorentz Transformation as derived by Lorentz and Einstein is not physically meaningful or justified.

		A reference wavelength 'lamref' (which must lie within one of the ranges) is defined and the wavelength normalisation scaling factor is taken to be 1.0 at that wavelength.
		For a global absorption correction, the selected function may be modelled using either Chebyshev polynomials, within angular ranges of 'psimin' to 'psimax' and 'numin' to 'numax' matched to the range of angles actually present, or using Fourier coefficients which model the whole of angular space.

	The Lorentz Factor
		It can be shown (Nicholls and Storey 1998; Kundu et al 1987) that scattering is efficient in replenishing those pitch angles that lead to precipitation, and so it is reasonable to assume an isotropic distribution throughout the magnetosphere.
		However, scattering is not expected to take place uniformly throughout the magnetosphere and the loss due to precipitation is reduced by a factor related to the volume of the magnetosphere in which scattering occurs.
		For the physical parameters applicable to V471 Tau, see Tables 1 and 2, the bounce period for electrons on field lines that reach the white dwarf is of the order of seconds to a few tens of seconds for Lorentz factors greater than 3 and for the full range of pitch angles.

	Relativity
		The standard Lorentz transformation in the x direction is (for reference also the classical Galilei transformation is included):
		Note that the spatial coordinates (y and z) perpendicular to the direction of motion (x) are unchanged.
		Directly from Lorentz transformations, one obtains the concepts of length contraction, time dilation, relativistic Doppler effect, and relativistic addition of velocities.

	Destellos de materia a altísima velocidad
		Los científicos utilizan un número especial, denominado factor Lorentz, para expresar estas altas velocidades.
		“Si bien partículas aisladas del universo pueden ser aceleradas hasta velocidades aún mayores, es decir con factores Lorentz más altos, se debe comprender que en los casos presentes, es una masa equivalente a unas 200 veces a la masa de la Tierra la que adquirió esta velocidad increíble”.
		La medición del factor Lorentz es un paso importante en la comprensión de los estallidos de rayos gamma.

	Lorentz Transformations and the Addition of Velocities
		We will now write down the general form of the transformation laws of Special Relativity that replace the Galilean transformation laws11.2 and 11.1 at high high relative velocities.
		If the ball is thrown at t = t' = 0 and x = x' = 0 then in the O' frame the coordinate of the ball as a function of time is just x' = u't' where u' is the velocity relative to O'.
		The Lorentz transformation laws 11.8 and 11.9 tell us what the corresponding coordinates are in the unprimed frame.
