Physics. Pertaining to the properties of space and time assumed in classical physics; Galilean transformation, a transformation of co-ordinates in which the classical laws of motion remain unchanged. ΚΠ 1910 Sci. Abstr. A. 13 261 Mathematically these principles are represented by an invariance or co-variance with respect to certain transformations. These transformations are (1) for Newtonian mechanics the ‘Galilean transformation’..; (2) for Lorentz's electrodynamics the ‘Lorentz transformation’. 1918 A. S. Eddington Rep. Relativity Theory Gravitation ii. 18 The laws of mechanics and electrodynamics are usually enunciated with respect to ‘unaccelerated rectangular axes’, or, as they are often called, ‘Galilean axes’. 1918 A. S. Eddington Rep. Relativity Theory Gravitation v. 48 The path of a particle in Galilean co-ordinates (i.e., under no forces) is a straight line. 1920 R. W. Lawson tr. A. Einstein Relativity iv. 11 A system of co-ordinates of which the state of motion is such that the law of inertia holds relative to it is called a ‘Galileian system of co~ordinates’. 1922 E. P. Adams tr. A. Einstein Meaning of Relativity iii. 65 There are finite regions, where, with respect to a suitably chosen space of reference, material particles move freely without acceleration, and in which the laws of the special theory of relativity..hold with remarkable accuracy. Such regions we shall call ‘Galilean regions’. 1960 R. M. Palter Whitehead's Philos. Sci. viii. 166 Newton's laws of motion are covariant with respect to Galilean transformations (i.e., transformations which carry one inertial system into another).

N. Whitehead Sci. & Mod. World (1926) viii. 186 The difference is very analogous to that between the Galileans and the Aristotelians: Aristotle said ‘rest’ where Galileo added ‘or uniform motion in a straight line’.
