Abstract
We derive rotation free Lorentz Transformation (LT) between two inertial reference frames without using the second postulate of Einstein, i.e., we do not assume the invariant speed of light (in vacuum) under LT. We find a general transformation rule between two inertial frames where a speed, invariant under that transformation, arises naturally. This idea first came into light by Mathematician Ignatowski [1] around the year, 1910. Without loss of novelty, here we present our derivation while reviewing more recent literature in this subject.
