    Introduction The concept of the luminiferous aether (also known as “ether”) was central to the theoretical framework of physics before the advent of Einstein’s theory of relativity. Essentially, it was considered the medium through which light waves propagate, much like sound waves require a medium such as air to travel. The Nature of Light: A…

    9.1 Introduction to the Lorentz Transformations The Lorentz transformations are a set of mathematical equations that describe the relationship between the space and time coordinates of events in different inertial frames of reference moving relative to one another. These transformations are essential for understanding the principles of special relativity, including time dilation and length contraction.…
