摘要
The structure of space-time is analyzed by introducing a coordinate-free formulation of reference frame. Relativity groups emerge through the notion of equivalent frames. By means of the notion of objective existence, we show that transformations connecting equivalent frames are either Lorentz or generalized Galilei.
