Because of the strict separation of mass and energy in Galilei physics, a Galilei-invariant tensor formalism is most at home in a 5-dimensional extended spacetime associated with the Bargmann-Galilei (traditionally ‘Bargmann’) group, a central extension of the Galilei group that explicitly exhibits the transformation properties of kinetic energy. While not necessary for a tensor formalism fully embodying Poincaré physics, a similar central extension of the Poincaré group to the Bargmann-Poincaré group may illuminate a path towards a strong-field ‘Galilei general relativity’. Here the Bargmann metric is generalized to curved spacetime by extending the usual 1+3 (traditionally ‘3+1’) formalism of general relativity on 4-dimensional spacetime to a 1+3+1 formalism, whose spacetime kinematics is shown to be consistent with that of the usual 1+3 formalism. On Bargmann spacetime, tensor laws governing the motion of an elementary classical material particle and the dynamics of a simple fluid reference the foliation of spacetime in a manner that partially reverts the Einstein perspective (accelerated fiducial observers, and geodesic material particles and fluid elements) to a Newton-like perspective (geodesic fiducial observers, and accelerated material particles and fluid elements subject to a gravitational force).
