Now the theory gets into inner product spaces...
1 second after the origins of S and S' coincide, the space-time
coordinates of S' (moving along the x-axis at velocity v), relative to S
and C are [v, 0, 0, 1]. The space-time coord. for the origin of S'
relative to S' and C' is [0, 0, 0, t'] for t' > 0.
Therefore T(v)[v, 0, 0, 1] = [0, 0, 0, t'] for some t' > 0.
Let A = { 1 0 0 0 }
{ 0 1 0 0 }
{ 0 0 1 0 }
{ 0 0 0 -1 }, this matrix acts as a basis for the sphere equation
earlier. On theory, T*(v) L(A) T(v) = L(A)).
, so...
=
= v^2 - 1
also...
=
by definition of adjoint transformations in inner product spaces, which
equals...
= = -(t')^2
So v^2 - 1 = -(t')^2, or t' = (1- v^2) ^(1/2)
Conclussion next...
