The Lorentz Transformation as a Wave Function We will
demonstrate that translation-dependent transformations, of which
the Lorentz Transformation is a special case, arise naturally
out of wave systems. As a result, the Lorentz Transformation
might be considered a natural consequence of the wave
characteristics of matter. Does this concept form the link
between quantum theory's wave-particle duality and relativity's
Lorentz-Transformation? You decide. Last updated September 2012
Imagine an entity composed of standing waves in one dimension.
This system can be characterized by equations in various ways:
The perceptive will already see the implications in the second
equation, but we will forgo the discussion until after a few
simulation snap shots. Related Pages at this site: Lorentz &
Standing Waves In the Lorentz Transformation accelerating an
object will contract its ruler, and dilate its clock. In
standing waves changing the coefficients to contract the ruler
and dilate the clock means changing the same vari
