Abstract: | Denote (xi,yi=cti), i=1,2, by Xi and (x2–x1)2–(y2–y1)2 by F(X1,X2). Then our result is the following: Given a fixed real number 0 and given a bijection of M=IR2 such that F(X1,X2) = iff F(X

) =p for all X1, X2 M. Then must be a Lorentz transformation (time reversal and inhomogeneity included). |
