A new approach to the correction of the Galilean transformations.

- Abstract
Some new views are put forward here in this article. Any particle whose mass is zero cannot, have inertia and therefore cannot, acquire inertial velocity in any frame of reference. On this basis, the movement of objects can be divided into at least two different forms. The Galilean transformations apply only to the first kind of movement, and the correction method for other forms of movement is pointed out. Because the proposed correction method and the Lorentz transformations are incompatible, when comparing the two kinds of different correction methods, it is shown that the Lorentz transformations are invalid. Therefore, for those objects that belong to the first movement, one finds that Newton's classical theory is not just, an approximation theory but a precise one.
