What is Lorentz transformation?
Everyone who is familiar with Einstein special theory of relativity (STR) would know that what the Lorentz transformation is. But what we knew is only the mathematical formulas which were used to solve problem with relative motion! What we do not know is what its physical meaning is? The reason is because there is no background mechanism for them. Einstein used the two postulates (principle of relativity and constancy of light speed for any inertial reference frame) for derivation.
Armed with “Vacuum mechanics” concept, we could also derive the Lorentz transformation. Beside that we could understand its physical meaning. But the most important point is that we could solve the philosophical problems of STR; the increasing mass, length contraction and time dilation of the moving object! Please see detail in “Completed Einstein special theory of relativity” which is now presenting in www.vacuum-mechanics.com .
