I see you have gotten bored and are trotting out the same old stuff, Robert.

As you may now, the conventional terms like "day" that are used casually 
are way too imprecise to convey what the variable t or t' are intended 
to convey. You've just demonstrated it above in your casual use.

But that's not the meaning that scientists are using when they write 
down the Galilean equations. They mean something very particular when 
they write t and t'.

Now, I gather that you don't really care what scientists mean when 
they're talking, and you don't even really care what t and t' mean in 
those equations. What you care about is whether you can redefine t and 
t' to mean something completely different and somehow make the equations 
true.

I'll give you an example. I can write 1+12=4 and say that it's true. You 
might say, "I don't see how that can be true". And I can say, "Well, 
Robert, it's very simple. All you have to do is say that 12 means 1 and 
2 together, and 1 and 2 together make 3, and so 1 added to 3 makes 4." 
And you see, I've just made 1+12=4 a true statement, and I can tell you 
that ordinary people don't have to listen to their math teachers and 
they can use this equation with great success.
