I'm new here and I have checked the FAQs. I'm not sure if this question has been posted before.
This may actually be a silly question.
Why do we study Lorentz and Poincare Groups?
I have studied a bit of the theory but was wondering what exactly are we talking about when we study the theories, representations and generators of Lorentz and Poincare Groups.
Also, is there a way to represent Lorentz transformations, boosts and translations diagrammatically (explicitly - in the sense that one can look at the diagram and understand what's going on)?
