A derivation of the Lorentz transformation based on frequency standardsa State Institute for Standartization, Metrology and Certification of the Scientific and Industrial Association ISARI, Chargali str. 67, Tbilisi, 380092, Georgia b Department of Physics, I. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, prosp. Chavchavadze 1, Tbilisi, 380028, Georgia The physical meaning of the Lorentz transformations is explained by deriving them (and the corresponding pseudo- Euclidean geometry) as transformations on a set of physical observables (or ’information space’) obtained by observers in inertial reference frames equipped with frequency (i.e., unified time-length) standards.
