Abstract
In order to explain the Lorentz transformation, it is advantageous to use its eigencoordinates rather than Cartesian coordinates. In this manner, the matrix can be diagonalized. Moreover, the diagonal entries have a direct physical meaning—permitting their determination without the need of algebraic equations. This yields a proof that is easier to remember and reproduce.
