http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation
one may read:
Thus, the Lorentz transformation can be seen as a hyperbolic rotation of coordinates in Minkowski space, where the rapidity φ represents the hyperbolic angle of rotation.
My question is:
How can the Gaililean transformation been seen, that is, as what kind of 'rotation'?
