What is Galilean: Definition and 155 Discussions

Generically, a Galilean (; Hebrew: גלילי‎; Ancient Greek: Γαλιλαίων; Latin: Galilaeos) is an inhabitant of Galilee, a region of Israel surrounding the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret). The New Testament notes that the Apostle Peter's accent gave him away as a Galilean (Matthew 26:73 and Mark 14:70). The Galilean dialect referred to in the New Testament was a form of Jewish Palestinian Aramaic spoken by people in Galilee from the late Second Temple period (530 BCE) through the Apostolic Age (c. 100 CE). Later the term was used to refer to the early Christians by Roman emperors Julian and Marcus Aurelius, among others.

    Schroedinger Equation - Galilean Invariance

    Hi All, I'm new to this forum. I'm a third-year undergrad Physics Major in Australia, about to go on to Honours, very exciting project in Helium atom detection. To the point. My 3rd year Special Rel project is an investigation of the development of relativistic QM (RQM). I have to...

    Using the Galilean transformation and classical velocity addition

    My problem is this: Let's say momentum is conserved in all frames... An observer on the ground observes two paticles with masses m1 and m2 and finds upon measurement that momentum is conserved. Use classical velocity addition to prove that momentum is conserved if the observer is on a train...

    No postulate of light is violated in Galilean transformation.

    I just finished the first page of the URL at the motivation of my personal mentor, Doc Al. http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/mod_tech/node134.html The writer showed examples of adding velocities using non photon entities. In using the photon in order to show that postulates of the speed of...

    Galilean Accelerating Reference

    Two frame of reference A and A'. A' starts accelerating with respect to A. The distance of separation of the two frame of reference is s = 1/2 at^2 x' = x - s = x - 1/2 at^2 Differentiating twice with respect to time we get d^2x'/dt^2 = d^2x/dt^2 - a d^2'x/dt^2 + a =...

    How Does a Reverse Galilean Telescope Minify Images?

    This is not a homework question but I am posting it here because I think it may be too basic for the other forums. I am looking for a ray diagram for a reverse galilean telescope (ie. + eyepiece, - objective, so image is minified). Can anyone describe what the ray diagram would look like or...
