Abstract

It is argued that nonrelativistic quantum mechanics does not in all respects behave as a fully Galilean invariant theory. The difference is empirically significant, as is illustrated by the Sagnac effect. The conclusion of this article sheds some new light on a recent discussion concerning the status of de Broglie’s theory of matter waves.
