[Androcles] | > You wouldn't know a Galilean transform if it bit you in the arse, Poe, [Misguided Blind Poe] | It looks like this: | | x' = x - vt | (where x, x' and v are 3-vectors in general) | t' = t [Androcles] You don't even know what a transformation is or what it does, you cretin. It looks like this: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GalileanTransformation.html except that Weisstein has omitted velocities u and w in the y and z directions. Of course cretins like Einstein and Poe can't handle moving sideways and up simultaneously. Never step sideways on an escalator, Poe, you'll be lost in spacetime and dream up impossible shit like "transverse mass" and "transverse Doppler shift". As I said, you wouldn't know a Galilean transform if it bit you in the arse, Poe. Your homework assignment: Place u, the velocity in the y-direction, in the matrix shown by Weisstein. |
