Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why.

comment Question on special relativity
Oh I think I see it how they are not cancelling if we use (1) even if y=y' and z=z'. I had to write on a piece of paper. But... if we assume a plane wave that is travelling in the x (and x') direction, then y, y', z, z' are all 0...

comment Question on special relativity
Sorry w.r.t. your second comment (I agree with the equation in that comment) I did not get why I cannot cancel out the y with y' and z with z' using equation 1. After all y = y' and z = z' and that's what is used to cancel them out in the wikipedia derivation. Could you perhaps post a derivation using equation 1 as part of your answer? That would convince me that the two equations give the same result. thanks.

comment Question on special relativity
If you include the fact that the expressions equate to 0 then yes 1 and 2 are equivalent but in derivations of the Lorentz transform the equal to zero fact is not used e.g., see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…. If I use the method there and use my equation 1 instead of 2 (as starting point), I get very different results. I get D - B = 1 and A - C = 1. Try it.

It doesn't matter what you call assumption 2 (Euclidean vs. Minkowski vs Charlie) as its used by both (1) and (2)
