Let us call this strategy explanation via Galilean idealization (EvGI). Galilean idealizations feature in coveringlaw explanations by enabling the derivation of a conclusion that approximates, in the sense of explanation based on non-Galilean idealization should be rejected. explanandum, one that makes use of the EvGI strategy, so that the non-Galilean explanation The problem with explanations in non-Galilean cases is that they are based on statements Explanations are put forward in a range of fields of physics in which idealized models doing sense of explanation in the context of non-Galilean idealization in physics, and indeed 	./cache/work_kjstzqkpvvdgpnuaiissc74s7q.pdf	./txt/work_kjstzqkpvvdgpnuaiissc74s7q.txt
