From E=mc2 to the Lorentz transformations via the law of addition of relativistic velocities
Abstract
In this paper we show how to get the Lorentz transformations from E=mc2, 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
