Vectorial Lorentz Transformations, Jorge A. Franco

Jorge A Franco

We have noticed in relativistic literature that the derivation of Lorentz Transformations (LT) usually is presented by confining the moving system O’ to move along the X-axis, namely, as a particular case of a more general movement. When this movement is generalized different transformations are obtained (which is a contradiction by itself) and a hidden vectorial characteristic of time is revealed. LT have been generalized in order to solve some physical and mathematical inconsistencies, such as the dissimilar manners (transversal, longitudinal) the particle’s shape is influenced by its velocity and LT’s inconsistency with Maxwell equations when in its derivation the …
