SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the equation To-(To(s/p))=To/[sqrt{1 - v^2 / 299792458^2}] for the variables s/p or p/s in terms of v. The user acknowledges an error in their original equation and expresses intent to revise it. The equation involves the speed of light, 299792458 m/s, which is crucial for calculations in relativistic physics. The user seeks assistance in deriving the correct formulation for these ratios based on the variable v.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of relativistic physics concepts
  • Familiarity with algebraic manipulation of equations
  • Knowledge of the speed of light as a constant (299792458 m/s)
  • Basic proficiency in LaTeX for mathematical notation
NEXT STEPS

To-(To(s/p))=To/[tex]sqrt{1 - v^2 / 299792458^2}<br /> <br /> If my symbols stuff isn't right:<br /> To-(To(s/p))=To/[1 - v^2 / 299792458^2]^0.5<br /> <br /> Can anyone solve for s/p or p/s in terms of v?[/tex]

Not that anyone helped me... But I did it and found my original equation is wrong... So I'll redo it and then bother you guys some more :)
