• Lorentz Transformations: Time Dilation and Length Contraction from the Light ClockFrom the constancy of the speed of light and the light-clock thought experiment we derive time dilation, Lorentz contraction and the relativity of simultaneity, then assemble them into the Lorentz transformation and the invariant spacetime interval of Minkowski spacetime.PhysicsRelativityUndergraduateSpecial relativityLorentz transformationTime dilationRelativity of simultaneityMinkowski spacetime~24 min
