Abstract
The paper investigates the mutual connection between linear transformations of space-time coordinates and the characteristics of reference frames. It is shown that the Lorentz transformation describes a system (apart from the singular one) where the time is decreed ("local time"). Relativistic effects in the SRT are examined and found to be consequences of this decreed reference time rather than effects in nature.
