A new look at relativity transformations
Ruggiero de Ritis, Giuseppe Marmo, Bruno Preziosi
TL;DR
This paper revisits relativity transformations, demonstrating that transformations between inertial frames are either Lorentz or generalized Galilei, emphasizing the role of free systems in defining objective existence.
Contribution
It provides a new perspective on relativity transformations, clarifying the conditions under which Lorentz or generalized Galilei transformations apply.
Findings
Transformations between inertial frames are either Lorentz or generalized Galilei.
The notion of free systems enables objective existence and inertial frame definition.
The paper offers a unified view of relativity transformations.
Abstract
A free system, considered to be a comparison system, allows for the notion of objective existence and inertial frame. Transformations connecting inertial frames are shown to be either Lorentz or generalized Galilei.
