Abstract: Abstract In Chap. 5, the Interval between two events is defined. It is shown that interval between two events is invariant under the Lorentz transformation. It is also shown that the Lorentz transformation may be regarded as a rotation of axes through an imaginary angle as well as it can be expressed in a hyperbolic form. It is proved that Lorentz transformations form a group. Keywords: Interval; Lorentz transformations form a group; Hyperbolic form of Lorentz transformations
