Why Galilean Transformation Is Failed?

Why Galilean Transformation Is Failed? In the Galilean transformation, the speed cannot be equal to the speed of light. Whereas, electromagnetic waves, such as light, move in free space with the speed of light. This is the main reason that the Galilean transformation are not able to be applied for electromagnetic waves and fields. Are

Is Lorentz Contraction Real?

Is Lorentz Contraction Real? In several recent pedagogical papers, it has been clearly emphasized that Lorentz contraction is a real, physical deformation of a uniformly moving object, a phenomenon that exists regardless of the process of relativistic measurement by the observer [5,6,7]. Is length contraction and time dilation real? Yes, they most certainly are. They
