The Lorentz factor shows how fast one frame will judge speeds in another frame to be taking into account the relative motion between the two frames.
The speed of light is a factor in the Lorentz factor but I have heard that this is not because the speed of light is fundamental to it.
So how can this result be attained from first principles and without involving the speed of light as such?
