Lorentz Transformations

γ = 1 / √(1 - v²/c²)
Δt' = γΔt (Time Dilation)
L' = L/γ (Length Contraction)

As velocity approaches the speed of light, time slows down and lengths contract in the direction of motion. These effects are fundamental to understanding spacetime and lead naturally to the concept of multiple temporal dimensions.
