 <blockquote>
 It is often said that one of the fundamental principles of both classical physics and Relativity is Galilean relativity or the equivalence of all inertial frames. I will discuss the precise phenomenon that Galileo remarked in On The Two Chief World Systems, and the relation of that phenomenon to both coordinate transformations and to symmetries of space-time. This yields two different ways to address the question of whether the Lorentz contraction in Relativity is a physical effect.
