Hello. This time we will look at how we can derive Lorentz transformations using K Calculus. If you follow only the principle of invariant light speed and principle of relativity, anyone can derive the Lorentz transformation equation. Hermann Bondi This method, created by Hermann Bondi (K Calculus), can derive to most conclusions of special relativity theories such as twin paradox, velocity-addition law, Lorentz transformation, time dilation. The k in this article is not particularly mysterious, but rather the ratio of John and Alice' time. When john sends a signal every 4 seconds, James receives it every 4 seconds, but Alice receives a signal every 6 seconds. So it becomes (4: 6), which can be expressed as (1: 1.5). At this time, k is 1.5. Figure 1. The nature of relativistic effects And for two observers with different relative movements, K is transformed as follows. Figure 2. Signal transfer and k value. When the John sends a si...
