Lorentz covariance 劳仑兹协变性
(重定向自Lorentz invariance)
In physics, Lorentz symmetry, named for Hendrik Lorentz, is "the feature of nature that says experimental results are independent of the orientation or the boost velocity of the laboratory through space". In everyday language, it means that the laws of physics stay the same for all observers that are moving with respect to one another with a uniform velocity. Lorentz covariance, a related concept, is a key property of spacetime following from the special theory of relativity. Lorentz covariance has two distinct, but closely related meanings:
