So you see, there are two coordinate systems here: the one with coordinates x,y,z, and t, and then the other one with coordinates x', y', z' and t'. Up until this point there is no mention of anything Galilean at all. The Galilean transform equations express HOW TO TRANSFORM between the two coordinate systems. The Galilean transform equations are not a coordinate system themselves. Coordinate systems, by the way, are not represented as equations. I certainly thought you could read and comprehend better than what you have just exhibited. > > .......(Explanation of Lorentz equations)........ > > "If in place of the law of transmission of light we had taken as our basis the tacit > assumptions of the older mechanics as to the absolute character of times and lengths, > then instead of the above we should have obtained the following equations: > > x'=x-vt > y'=y > z'=z > t'=t > > This system of equations is often termed the "Galilei transformation"." > > A.

It seems that you cannot tell the difference between a coordinate system and a transformation between coordinate systems. All you see is algebra with x, and y, and z, and t and other coordinates and you say "Hey, those must be coordinate systems because they have the symbols for coordinates in them." So it appears that you understand even less of the basics than I thought. You are more like Seto, just engaging to make noise but not having any real idea of what you're talking about. -- Odd Bodkin -- maker of fine toys, tools, tables
