There are many ways to derive the Lorentz transformations using a variety of physical principles, ranging from Maxwell's equations to Einstein's postulates...

What is now often called Lorentz ether theory (LET) has its roots in Hendrik Lorentz's "theory of electrons", which marked the end of the development...

These transformations preserve angles, map every straight line to a line or circle, and map every circle to a line or circle. The Möbius transformations are...
