  Science Fair Projects - Galilean transformation
The Galilean transformation is used to transform between the coordinates of two coordinate systems in constant relative motion in Newtonian physics.
Unlike the Galilean transformation, the relativistic Lorentz transformation can be shown to apply at all velocities so far measured, and the Galilean transformation can be regarded as a low-velocity approximation to the Lorentz transformation.
Under the Erlangen program, the space-time (no longer spacetime) of nonrelativistic physics is described by the symmetry group generated by Galilean transformations, spatial and time translations and rotations.

 Minkowski, mathematiciens, and the mathematical theory of relativity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The novelty to physics of the aesthetic canon embodied in Minkowski's theory was emphasized by Peter Galison (1979), and several scholars have clarified technical and epistemological aspects of Minkowski's theory.
Rhetorical gestures such as this directed attention to Minkowski's theory; its acceptance by the scientific community, however, may be seen to depend largely upon the presence of two elements: empirical adequacy, claimed by Minkowski at the opening of the lecture, and the perception of an advantage over existing theories.
The formal equivalence of Einstein's theory with that of Minkowski is not an issue, since Minkowski adopted unequivocally the validity of the Lorentz transformations, and stated just as clearly that the constant appearing therein was the velocity of propagation of light in empty space.

 Theory & Psychology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Drawing on Toulmin's (1990) portrayal of the 'dual trajectory of Modernity', the predominant trajectory being tied to Cartesian rationalism and the other to Renaissance humanism, it is suggested that much of contemporary theoretical psychology appears to be congruent with widespread efforts to reappropriate the latter tradition and thereby to 'humanize' its inquiries.
By moving toward what is here termed a 'poetics of the Other', there emerges the opportunity for a portion of the field not only to further extricate itself from the gravitational pull of theory, as ordinarily conceived, but also to explore modes of thinking and writing more closely tied to the humanities.
'Theory' remains viable from this point of view, but in a different way than that which is generally operative in current endeavors.

A rep is called a quotient covariant field rep if it is equivalent to the quotient representation of a covariant field rep by a subrep of it which is also a covariant field rep (with respect to the same fiber bundle).

 Identity and Individuality in Quantum Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Quasi-set theory incorporates two kinds of basic posits or ‘Urelemente’: m-atoms, whose intended interpretation are the quantal objects and M-atoms, which stand for the ‘everyday’ objects, and which fall within the remit of classical set theory with Ur- elements.
Applying the general methodological principle that a theory which does not contain such surplus structure is to be preferred over one that does, Redhead and Teller conclude that we have grounds for preferring the non-individuals approach and the afore-mentioned mystery simply does not arise.
In the case of quantum field theory, the field quantities are not well-defined at space-time points (because of difficulties in defining exact locational states in quantum field theory).

Disclaimer: When theories are explained briefly, a necessary reduction in their complexity and richness occurs.
A literary movement that started in the late 1920s and 1930s and originated in reaction to traditional criticism that new critics saw as largely concerned with matters extraneous to the text, e.g., with the biography or psychology of the author or the work's relationship to literary history.

The connection between Lorentz invariance violation and noncommutativity of fields in a quantum field theory is investigated.
Any realistic noncommutative theory is found to be physically equivalent to a subset of a general Lorentz-violating standard-model extension involving ordinary fields.

 Quantum Theory
Local gauge invariance means that their is a freedom of this gauge group in all points in space and time.
The gauge group determines the particles and their interactions (for the standard model the gauge group is SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)).
This group determines the local structure, but zooming out (renormalization I suppose) there is a different behaviour.

 An extended Galilean group and its application to time operators
The representation theory of the Galilean group extended by a one-dimensional group of dilations (which leave invariant the free Schrodinger equation) is studied.
The existence of position and time operators is investigated from the standpoint of the imprimitivity theorem, for quantum particles whose states carry a projective representation of the extended group.
Position and time operators are shown to exist for some two-component direct sums with non-trivial multipliers and for vector representations with zero helicity.

If Jesus had indeed been the founder of an insurgent political group, then His followers would have been rounded up and arrested - but this did not happen; instead, Christianity was tolerated, perhaps even protected, by the Romans up until the time of Nero.
He admits that his theory would almost require that there be some mention in the Talmud that Jesus was a favored person and that the "trial" was performed as a saving measure.
