dc.descriptionHeisenberg's uncertainty relation means that one observer cannot know an exact position and velocity for another (finite mass) observer. By contrast, the Poincare transformation of classical special relativity assumes that one observer knows the other's position and velocity exactly. The present paper describes a simple-minded way to consider the issue using a semiclassical discussion of spacetime diagrams, and draws out some possible implications. Uncertainties arise in transformations. A consideration is raised regarding the use of light-cone coordinates.
dc.description7 pages. A small number of corrections and clarifications in the text; discussion slightly enlarged. Comments welcome
