| | |  Principle of relativity: Encyclopedia II - Frame of reference - ExamplesFor a simple example, consider two people standing, facing each other on either side of a North-South street. A car drives past them heading South. For the person facing East, the car was moving toward the right. However, for the person facing West, the car was moving toward the left. This discrepancy is due to the fact that the two people used two different frames of reference from which to investigate this system.
For a more complex example, consider Alfred, who is standing on the side of a road watching a car drive past him from le ...

| | | | Principle of relativity: Encyclopedia II - Symmetry in physics - Continuous symmetries The two examples of rotational symmetry described above - spherical and cylindrical - are each instances of continuous symmetry. These are characterised by a continuous change in the geometry of the system. For example, the wire may be rotated through any angle about it's axis and the field strength magnitude will be the same on any given cylinder. Mathematically, continuous symmetries are usually described by continuous or smooth functions. An important subclass ...

| | | | Principle of relativity: Encyclopedia II - Symmetry in physics - Symmetry groups Many of the important transformations describing physical symmetries form a group. This has led to group theory being one of the areas of mathematics most studied by physicists.
Continuous symmetries are specified mathematically by 'continuous groups' called Lie groups. Many physical symmetries are isometries and are specified by symmetry groups. Sometimes this term is used for more general types of symmetries. The set of all proper rotations (about any angle) through any axis of a sphere form a Lie group called the special orthogonal ...

| | | | Principle of relativity: Encyclopedia II - Lorentz transformation - Lorentz transformation for frames in standard configuration Given two observers S and S', each using a Cartesian coordinate system to measure space and time intervals, and , assume that the coordinate systems are oriented so that S' moves with constant speed v relative to S along the common x-x' axis with the y and y' axes parallel (and similarly for the z and z' axes). Also, assume that their origins meet at the common time t=t'=0. Then the frames are said to be in standard configuration (SC). The Lorentz ...

| | | | Principle of relativity: Encyclopedia II - Symmetry in physics - Symmetry as invariance A symmetry of a physical system is a (physical or mathematical) feature of the system that is preserved under some change. Some examples of symmetry are given below.
Example 1
The temperature in a room may be constant. The temperature being independent of position within the room, it is said that the temperature is unchanged by a shift in position.
Example 2
An unmarked ping-pong ball, when rotated about it's centre, will look exactly as it did before the rotation. The ping-pong ball is said to exhibit spherical symmetry. A rotation about any axis of the ball wi ...
