  1. Learn About the Speed of Light and Galilean Relativity

    Dec 22, 2015 · Some experiments in the 19th and early 20th centuries looked how the velocity of a light source affects the speed of the light emitted from it.

  2. Galilean invariance: Newton's 2nd Law of motion - Physics Forums

    May 17, 2017 · This discussion centers on the implications of Galilean invariance in relation to Newton's 2nd Law of motion and the covariant nature of Maxwell's equations. It establishes that Newton's 2nd …

  3. Understanding the Galilean transformation • Physics Forums

    Sep 2, 2020 · For a Galilean transformation , between two given coordinate systems, with matrix representation where is the rotation transformation, is the relative velocity, is a translation, is a time …

  4. Galilean vs Lorentz Transformations: Correct Understanding?

    Apr 10, 2022 · The Galilean transformations are never exactly correct, but they are applicable when the speeds are small compared to so that the difference between the two is negligible. So your …

  5. Galilean relativity vs special relativity • Physics Forums

    Oct 12, 2012 · The sentence "in Galilean relativity the speed of light is infinite" should rather say: "in Galilean relativity the invariant speed is infinite, while in Special relativity the invariant speed is finite".

  6. How to prove Galilean invariance - Physics Forums

    May 31, 2012 · A Galilean transformation is an automorphism of Galilean space-time \mathbb {R}^ {4} (which is an affine space). In other words, a Galilean transformation is an invertible map G\colon …

  7. Can time be another basis vector under Galilean relativity?

    Jan 22, 2023 · Some thoughts to support this claim: - The above-mentioned Galilean spacetime interval is useless, since it does not solve any practical problem. - One can say that the “metrics” of space …

  8. Understanding Galilean structure • Physics Forums

    Aug 14, 2014 · But in the book Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics, it introduce galilean space-time structure as a affine space A4. And it kind of offers the difference between the two case …

  9. Gallilean v/s Lorentz transformation - Physics Forums

  10. Newton Galilean spacetime as fiber bundle • Physics Forums

    Dec 7, 2023 · Hi, Penrose in his book "The Road to Reality" claims that Newton/Galilean spacetime has actually a structure of fiber bundle. The base is one-dimensional Euclidean space (time) and each …
