Description

This lecture covers the postulates of special relativity, Lorentz transformations, and their consequences. It delves into concepts like the relativity of simultaneity, proper time, and the incompatibility of Galilean transformations with relativity. The lecture also explores the implications of the constancy of the speed of light, the dilation of time, and the Lorentz factor. It discusses the transformation equations and the measurements of lengths and time intervals in different reference frames.
