摘要
Observations of the apparent times and positions of moving clocks as predicted by both `non-local' and `local' Lorentz Transformations are considered. Only local transformations respect translational invariance. Such transformations change temporal but not spatial intervals, so breaking space time exchange symmetry and forbidding relativity of simultaneity and length contraction. A satellite cesium clock experiment to test these predictions is proposed.
