  Are you stoned or just stupid? Apart from the fact that lorentz symmetry
has nothing to do with what you think symmetry refers to, I've already
written down the lorentz transforms for you before so that it was obvious
that a lorentz boost looks just every other rotation. Hey androsleaze,
using your definition of ``symmetric'', how do you explain the lorentz
symmetry known as a rotation?

x' = x cos(A) - y sin(A)
y' = y cos(A) + x sin(A)

  Gee, androsleaze, a circle must not have circular symmetry, huh?
Go take a course in basic arithmetic. Then take it again until
you understand what circular and hyperbolic functions are and how
to rotate axes using them. You might be too old to learn arithmetic,
so don't be discouraged if you can't do it.
