23.9 The Big Picture

A remark on the fact that the Lorentz transformations can be expressed with the help of (finite) differences [Delta’s] in their formula: this is a consequence of the linearity of the transformation. Also related to: Space-time is in a certain sense flat in Special Relativity.

How can 4 equations be like 4 Galilean moons?
x=x'+vt
y=y'
z=z'
t=t'
These four equations are known collectively as the Galilean transformation.
Four big Jupiter moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto) four the big Galilean transformation.

they used special relativity to write the Galilean transformation? hmmm.
