Translation (physics)




:(x,y,z) o (x+\Delta x,y+\Delta y, z+\Delta z)

where (\Delta x,\Delta y,\Delta z) is a Constant vector. Such an operation can be generalized to other coordinates, for example the time coordinate.

For an object without structure, just a subset of space, we can consider the , the fixed points of translation in the other sense are the objects with the corresponding Translational Symmetry .

Because of Noether's Theorem , the Translational Symmetry is equivalent to Momentum conservation.
