Laws of Light Propagation in Galilean Space-Time *

None of the theories proposed to date for the propagation of light in Galilean space-time has possessed the requisite experimental and theoretical coherence to merit consideration as an alternative to special relativity. The reason for this failure is that the notion of a propagating light wave, as accepted prior to and since Einstein’s special relativity theory, has no validity in Galile an space -time. We propose a new concept of light waves, the distributed wave concept, and define laws of propagation.
