Generally, Lorentz transformations require high level math skills, but conceptual understanding can slip just beyond the grasp of many. Using a story and graph about the time and motion of people and cats, viewers of a short video can better understand the concept. The third video in an eight-part series introduces a physical tool displaying spacetime and Lorentz transformations.
