In mathematics, Lorentz symmetry is a type of mathematical structure called a Lie group. Specifically, it is the special orthogonal group in 3+1 dimensions (3 space, 1 time).

This is usually abbreviated SO(1,3).

The Lorentz group is a subgroup of a larger spacetime symmetry group, can you name it?

One of the most important is Lorentz symmetry, the symmetry of special relativity.

Lorentz symmetry is represented in the real world by the change from one frame of reference to another.

For example changing from someone on Earth, to someone on a distant spaceship travelling near lightspeed.
