Timeline for Why is this non-linear transformation not a Lorentz transformations? It does preserve $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - c^2t^2 = x'^2 + y'^2 + z'^2 - c^2t'^2 $

| Aug 6, 2016 at 21:54 | comment | added | user12029 | Lorentz transformations in special relativity is not about conservation of some "$x^2-t^2$" form, with x and t being coordinates. They're about conserving the metric at every point in spacetime. The former is not really geometric, while the latter is. | |

| Aug 6, 2016 at 13:19 | comment | added | udrv | @BenSelfridge In intuitive terms, beyond preserving the interval: A physically acceptable transformation is expected to transform any linear uniform motion into a linear uniform motion. Your transformation maps every linear uniform motion that passes through the origin into a similar one, but does not do so for arbitrary linear motions that do not intercept the origin. Interesting example anyway. | |
