I saw on this forum a formula by Einstein in his special relativity theory something like
Velocity sum = (velocity one plus velocity two)/ (1+velocity1*velocity2/the speed of light squared)
With small velocities, they simply seem to add together, but at higher velocities, they add less and less together. So, does this imply that high velocities warp space? I guess that is what it says, hmmm? But how? Does increased velocity expand space?
I put the formula into an excel spreadsheet and played a bit and I also notice that if velocities can exceed the speed of light, if you add them, they get slower, at least up until they are each 1 quintillion meters per second, in which case they equal to zero, and no matter how much larger the velocity from there, they still add to zero.
