  2. Galilean invariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_invariance

    Galilean invariance or Galilean relativity states that the laws of motion are the same in all inertial frames of reference. Galileo Galilei first described this principle in 1632 in his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems using the example of a ship travelling at constant velocity, without rocking, on a smooth sea; any observer below the deck would not be able to tell whether the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_magnet_and...

    An overriding requirement on the descriptions in different frameworks is that they be consistent.Consistency is an issue because Newtonian mechanics predicts one transformation (so-called Galilean invariance) for the forces that drive the charges and cause the current, while electrodynamics as expressed by Maxwell's equations predicts that the fields that give rise to these forces transform ...

  4. Galilean electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_electromagnetism

    Galilean electromagnetism is a formal electromagnetic field theory that is consistent with Galilean invariance.Galilean electromagnetism is useful for describing the electric and magnetic fields in the vicinity of charged bodies moving at non-relativistic speeds relative to the frame of reference.

  5. Galilean transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_transformation

    In physics, a Galilean transformation is used to transform between the coordinates of two reference frames which differ only by constant relative motion within the constructs of Newtonian physics. These transformations together with spatial rotations and translations in space and time form the inhomogeneous Galilean group (assumed throughout ...

    A typical example is Maxwell's equations. Another is Newton's first law. 1. First Postulate (Principle of relativity) Under transitions between inertial reference frames, the equations of all fundamental laws of physics stay form-invariant, while all the numerical constants entering these equations preserve their values.

  7. Invariant (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invariant_(physics)

    Another examples of physical invariants are the speed of light, and charge and mass of a particle observed from two reference frames moving with respect to one another (invariance under a spacetime Lorentz transformation [1]), and invariance of time and acceleration under a Galilean transformation between two such frames moving at low velocities.

  9. Galileo's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_paradox

    The relevant section of Two New Sciences is excerpted below: [2]. Simplicio: Here a difficulty presents itself which appears to me insoluble.Since it is clear that we may have one line greater than another, each containing an infinite number of points, we are forced to admit that, within one and the same class, we may have something greater than infinity, because the infinity of points in the ...
