local time in a reference frame S′, moving with normalized velocity with respect to a synchronized rest frame S, equal to
where is local time and is the three-dimensional position vector of an event observed in the rest frame
Note 1 to entry: In the special case that the X-axis of frame S is parallel with X′ axis of frame S′ and the direction of movement of frames is parallel to the X-axis, .
Note 2 to entry: The coherent SI unit of relativistic time is second, s.
