A simple question about special relativity
You do not need to use Lorenz factor to answer (a). You only need to notice that light propagates at c and that firecrackers go off simultaneously (relative to table and to stationary observer at eith …

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone
It simply says that some parts of the space-time are not accessible to us. For example I assume :-) you are on (Earth, Now). No matter what you do (Moon, Now) …

Does the speed of light in different mediums affect the Lorentz transformation?
No. The speed of light is always c. And only that is constant to every observer. You use only c in Lorentz transformation. In some medium light would appear to slow down because it would jiggle electr …
