Analysis of K­-Calculus from Introducing Einstein's Relativity by Ray D'inverno

Authors: Jan Slowak

Einstein's theory of special relativity, SR, is a generally accepted theory that analyses, for instance, relationships between two inertial reference systems moving at a constant speed against each other. This relationship between the coordinates of an event in the two inertial reference systems is made using so-­called Lorentz Transformations, LT. These transformations constitute the most central concept within SR. It is from these transformations that other concepts within SR are derived, concepts such as time dilation, length contraction.
