Lorentz Transformations

Lorentz Transformations are mathematical equations in Einstein's Special Relativity that describe how measurements of space and time change for observers moving relative to each other. They show that time can dilate (expand) and lengths can contract depending on the relative speed between observers. For example, a moving clock ticks slower than a stationary one, and a moving object appears shorter along its direction of motion. These transformations ensure that the speed of light remains constant for all observers, fundamentally altering our understanding of how space and time interrelate rather than being absolute entities.
