Galilean vs. Lorentz Transformation

摘要

This paper shows that there exists a Galilean parametrical transformation that keeps light speed invariant in any inertial frames. Relativistic effects are considered. For V ?c, the Galilean parametrical transformation and the Lorentz transformation yield identical results accurate to (V / c)~2 Key words: Galilean transformation, Lorentz transformation, relativity; PACS numbers: 03.30.+p
