Trysse reacted to BVirtual's post in the thread Relativity Lorentz factor in textbooks on Special Relativity with
Like.
My take is physics students should be explicitly taught how to read graphs to not only hone their intuitive skills, but to be able to... -
Trysse replied to the thread Does the Lorentz factor aid understanding of SR, or obscure it?.Sorry that it took me so long to come back to this thread. I was waiting to see if there was somebody who shares my issues with the...

Trysse reacted to sbrothy's post in the thread Does the Lorentz factor aid understanding of SR, or obscure it? with Like.
Isn't it at the very core of SR? That velocities don't add but rapidities do? How can you talk about time dilation and not reaching...
