Time can be measured about any way imaginable. > Coordinates can be transformed only with t' and t. t and t' stand for *measured* time, Robert. It really helps to know what the variable stand for in an algebraic expression. You can always write down any old algebraic expression and say that it's true. It's when you try to associate the variables in the algebraic expression with physical quantities that it becomes physics, and then the truth of the expression isn't a matter of algebra any more. It's a matter whether when you actually take measured values of those physical quantities and stick them in, the equality holds or not. If you stick measured values in and the equality doesn't hold, then the algebraic expression may be algebraically fine but physically worthless. Under some circumstances, such as in ordinary welding applications, if you use the Galilean transformation and check whether the measured values yield an equality, you find that the precision of the measurement is low enough that the equality holds. In this case, the Galilean transformation is "good enough". But in a large number of other circumstances, which are probably of little interest to welders, the precision is high enough or the circumstances sufficiently different, then the equality no longer holds. And then the Galilean transformation is no good. PD
