Invariance of physical laws means that the fundamental laws of physics have the same mathematical form in all inertial frames of reference. The laws of physics do not depend on the uniform motion of the observer. If two observers are moving with constant velocity relative to each other, both should obtain the same physical laws. This principle is called the principle of relativity. For example, Newton’s laws of motion have the same form in all inertial frames. In classical mechanics, this invariance is associated with Galilean transformations. In special relativity, physical laws are invariant under Lorentz transformations. Example: An experiment performed inside a smoothly moving train gives the same physical results as when the train is at rest, provided the train moves with constant velocity. Key point: The laws of physics are universal and do not depend on the choice of inertial reference frame. 1. Newton’s First Law — Law of Inertia A body remains ...
