Explain Lorentz transformations in your own words.
The Lorentz transformations are a set of equations that describe how measurements of space and time change between two observers moving at constant velocities relative to each other. They are fundamental to understanding the behavior of objects at speeds approaching that of light. These transformations show that time and space are not absolute but are instead intertwined, forming what we now call spacetime.
