****ing LIAR!
xi = x' / sqrt(1-u^2/c^2)
tau = t' * sqrt(1-u^2/c^2)
u = 0

Of course not. Everything was mathematically justifiable, if poorly

There simply isn't any physics, much less new physics.


And I claim that you are a ****-throwing chimpanzee who evidently

And of course my paper reveals a new physics. It explains the physics
of nonlinear Lorentz-equivalent transformations.


Presently, chimpanzee physicists believe that nonlinear
transformations between inertial frames of reference destroy the
homogeneity and isotropy of space and time. The purpose of my paper is
to explain on a high school level why those chimpanzees are confused
about simple things.

Please explain to us how a coordinate transformation can contain

Consider the physical model that was assumed to derive my equations.


There was no physical model used to derive your equations. Your
entire derivation was mathematical. Name one actual PHYSICAL argument
used in your derivation.

You're quite correct. Transformations can lead to symmetries, which
indeed can enlighten us as to physical principles. A prime example is
in gauge theory. But that still doesn't make the transformations any
more physical.

Mathematicians have a right to define physics any way they like.
Please read section 2 of http://www.everythingimportant.org/r...ty/special.pdf
and then sections 1.1 and 1.2 of http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/9811050
and tell me what the difference is between physics and mathematics in
Hilbert's philosophy of physics.

Also, take a look at the latest book by Theodore Frankel, The Geometry
of Physics, and tell me where you see any physics in the book.
http://www.amazon.com/Geometry-Physi...3001823&sr=8-1

Trust me. My perspective is legitimate. It comes from what I have
learned from respected mathematicians and not physicists. I learned
differential geometry from Professor Frankel when I was a math student
at UCSD.

So we should trust that mathematicians know what physics is because
mathematicians say they know what physics is? Why do mathematicians
have a special insight into physics that physicists do not?

Silly question.

Note the comparison between David Hilbert and Albert Einstein in
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/physics/pd.../0405110v1.pdf
Briefly stated, Einstein was a dullard compared to Hilbert.
And that's the conclusion of the physicists that wrote the paper!

Androcles is, however, correct (FWIW); the Lorentz is
represented using tau and chi, whereas the Galilean uses x'
and t'.

This is not to say the concept is all that useful, of
course, and I rather prefer the forms (x_O, t_O) and
(x_A, t_A) if I'm feeling picky.

It's such a petty thing, the changing of variables. Far
more useful are the results -- the derivation, for example,
of the ability to detect velocity solely by knowing the
reference-line wavelengths (the double sodium D lines will do)
and the observed wavelength.

Galileo's transform simply can't handle that.

Without verifiable results, it's all math, symbols, and
games with numbers. :-) This is one reason I'm not all
that enthralled with brane/string theory: what are the
observable results?

Not that I have the mathematical sophistication to handle
such, mind you; I can do SR without too much difficulty
but get very lost in the GTR tensors.
