State Lorentz transformations precisely and explain why it matters in 2-3 sentences.

# Lorentz Transformations For two inertial frames where frame S' moves at velocity v along the x-axis relative to frame S: **x' = γ(x - vt)** **y' = y** **z' = z** **t' = γ(t - vx/c²)** where **γ = 1/√(1 - v²/c²)** ## Why It Matters Lorentz transformations are the fundamental coordinate transformations of special relativity that replace Galilean transformations, showing that space and time are interconnected and relative rather than absolute. They explain how measurements of length, time, and simultaneity differ between observers in relative motion, while preserving the speed of light as constant in all inertial frames. These transformations are essential for understanding everything from particle physics to GPS satellite corrections.
