From E=mc^2 to the Lorentz transformations via the law of addition of relativistic velocities

arXiv:physics/0703108 · doi:10.1088/0143-0807/26/4/006

Abstract

In this paper we show how to get the Lorentz transformations from E=mc^2, the laws of conservation of energy and momentum, and the special relativity principle. To this end we first deduce the law of addition of relativistic velocities
