Lorenz transformation describes the transition from a reference frame P
Lorentz transformation describes the transition from a reference frame P
to another reference frame P', each of which is moving in a direction with
respect to the other. The Lorenz transformation implemented in this code
respect to the other. The Lorentz transformation implemented in this code
is the relativistic version using a four vector described by Minkowsky Space:
x0 = ct, x1 = x, x2 = y, and x3 = z

NOTE: Please note that x0 is c (speed of light) times t (time).

So, the Lorenz transformation using a four vector is defined as:
So, the Lorentz transformation using a four vector is defined as:

|ct'| | γ -γβ 0 0| |ct|
|x' | = |-γβ γ 0 0| *|x |
