See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge The Special Relativity transformations terribly screw up almost every equation known to humankind, and probably those of every alien species in the universe, as well as any in heaven and hell. But Special Relativity makes a virtue of this, proudly claiming that it is the quantity dx'^2+dy'^2+dz'^2+(icdt')^2 that is invariant. Even the simplest formulas no longer work on the data after tranform, for instance the circle formula: x^2+y^2=r^2. You can find points that fit x'^2+y'^2=r^2, of course; they just don't correspond to the circle you started with.
