Extract

The following notes are the result of an attempt to gain some insight into the meaning of the Lorentz formulae, avoiding the use of technical terms such as frames of reference, coordinates, and point-events.

The hypothesis of Einstein that the velocity of light is a constant, independent of the relative velocity of the source and observer, is assumed throughout.
