Lorentz transformation, an Uncommon card
In physics, the Lorentz transformations are a six-parameter family of linear transformations from a coordinate frame in spacetime to another frame that moves at a constant velocity relative to the former.

Lorentz transformation quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Lorentz transformation card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
The ______ are named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz.
Answer
transformations. The transformations are named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz. From the Lorentz transformation article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Lorentz transformation. Lorentz transformation 86 · Card game 83 · Carl Benz 78 · Council of Trent 75 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The respective inverse transformation is then parameterized by the negative of this velocity.
- The transformations are named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz.
- The most common form of the transformation, parametrized by the real constant v, representing a velocity confined to the x-direction, is expressed as t ′ = γ x ′ = γ y ′ = y z ′ = z where and are the coordinates of an event in two frames with the spatial origins coinciding at t = t′ = 0, where the primed frame is seen from the unprimed frame as moving with speed v along the x-axis, where c is the…
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lorentz transformation article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Lorentz transformation
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
