Nugatory replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.That is a very common misunderstanding, one that unfortunately has been repeated over and over by well-meaning people trying to explain... -
Nugatory replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.Yes, because you have posed a complicated problem, likely much more complicated than you realize. It might be helpful if you could tell...

Nugatory replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.The Lorentz transformations are used to transform between the coordinates used with one inertial frame and the coordinates used with...

I think that the first manned Moon landing in 1969 was a spectacular solution to the 3-body problem. I scrimped and saved for three... -
Nugatory replied to the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?.One particular animal, the spherical cow. Unfortunately it’s mythical.

Just hire a tree guy, dude. Your concave mirror isn't an antigravity device, pieces will still fall, but in a much less controlled...
