'''Lorentz transformations''' form the group of linear [[isometries]] of [[Minkowski space]].
In [[physics]], a Lorentz transformation is the conversion of space and time between two different inertial frames of reference.
In [[physics]], a Lorentz transformation is the conversion of space and time between two different [[Inertial reference frame|inertial frames of reference]].
According to [[Einstein]] the principles of [[Special Relativity]] are mathematically expressed by Lorentz transformations owing to which it is possible to transform equations for mechanical and electromechanical phenomena between inertial systems.<ref>{{cite book
