Abstract

Galilean relativity and Special relativity (SR) turn out to be the same theory. The difference between them is that the maths as derived in Special relativity has been done wrong. Once corrections are made to the maths of Special relativity it turns out to be the same theory as Galilean relativity. This raises the issue if there are too many maths errors made in the context of a theory, such that the maths has to be totally altered to correct the mistakes; when does that theory stop being that theory? And if Galilean relativity and Special relativity are really the same theory then what has happened in modern physics since the revolution in physics caused by Einstein has been just a major diversion from real physics to a detour consisting of lots of maths mistakes.
