MMX and Time Dilation

The Lorentz transformations are used by Special Relativity (SR) to
support its contention that the speed of light is constant. Every body
has the coordinates x, y, z and t. In the Lorentz transformations,
coordinates x and t of moving bodies are affected by a factor, Gamma,
while y and z remain the same. SR assumes that in moving bodies, the x
axis contracts by sqrt(1-(c^2/v^2) and t dilates by sqrt(1-(c^2/v^2).
Just curious: what do you think happens with the
product x*t ?
