A Useful Device for Illustrating the Lorentz Transformations
Cortini, Giulio
American Journal of Physics, 40, 8, 1079-1081, Aug 72
A graphical representation is proposed as a teaching device which can be useful in order to obtain a good intuitive grasp of the physical meaning of the Lorentz transformations. The connection between the time dilation and the desynchronization of clocks is particularly discussed. (Author/PR)
