Chapter 1: Problem 2
Show that all galilean spaces are isomorphic to each other \({ }^{6}\) and, in particular, isomorphic to the coordinate space \(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{3}\). Let \(M\) be a set. A one-to-one correspondence \(\varphi_{1}: M \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{3}\) is called a galilean coordinate system on the set \(M\). A coordinate system \(\varphi_{2}\) moves uniformly with respect to \(\varphi_{1}\) if \(\varphi_{1} \varphi_{2}^{-1}: \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{3} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{3}\) is a galilean transformation. The galilean coordinate systems \(\varphi_{1}\) and \(\varphi_{2}\) give \(M\) the same galilean structure.
