Not contrary at all. Galilean transformations are the limiting
case of the special relativity transformations, where all
values are low compared to the speed of light, so of COURSE
they preserve the wave equation. If the relativistic
transformations preserve the wave equation, so must
the Galilean ones also.

Hi, guys!
I have stated in an earlier thread in sci.physics.relativity
that Galilean transformation do preserve the wave equation,
contrary to current belief in physics.
That statement was based on my work on the subject
which you can access using the link below:
http://laszlo.lemhenyi.com/Galilei_transformations_and_wave_equation.pdf
Since then, I have made a demonstration in conventional style,
for plane waves only for now,
which I would like to bring to your attention
[and I am sure your critique as well :-) ].
The link for this second work is:
