I have never really liked the way lorentz transformations are introduced, as previously, they weren’t derived that much, and we just had to take them for granted. The book we are currently working with is also a bit lackluster when it comes to the full derivation of lorentz transformations and the likes, and so I wanted to give this derivation a shot to see if I could explain it in a more intuitive way.
