[MD] lorentz transformation

[X Acto]

(′lör′ens ′tranz·fər′mā·shən) 
(mathematics) Any linear transformation of euclidean four space which 
preserves the quadratic form q(x,y,z,t) = t2-x2-y2-z2. 
(relativity) Any of the family of mathematical transformations used in 
the SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY to relate the space and time variables 
of different Lorentz frames.

encyclopedia britanica:
 
Set of equations in relativity physics that relate the space and time 
coordinates of two systems moving at a constant speed relative to each 
other, developed in 1904 by Hendrik Antoon Lorentz. Required to describe 
phenomena approaching the speed of light, these transformations express 
the concepts that space and time are not absolute; that length, time, 
and mass depend on the OBSERVERS RELATIVE MOTION; and that the speed 
of light in a vacuum is constant and independent of the motion of the 
observer or the source.

I can go on 
 
but why not just search it yourself Bo if wiki and these quotes
are not reliable enough.
 
If you wanted to make the claim that SOL makes a transformation
 the way the lorentz does in special relativity theory
mathematically so that
they may seem share a common frame of reference, you may make
a better arguement, but it's still really reaching as a metaphor.
 
But to say that the Lorentz transformation calculation converts
Newtonian physics to Einsteins relativity equations is just plain
incorrect, it does not do this at all. Einstien used a mathematics that
already existed that applied to water and electro magetism (lorentz)
and applied it to those theories of space or spacetime as he liked to call it
in his special relativity theory.
