On this page http://www.patent-invent.com/electricity/inventions/special_relativity_1.html
you are given that in a certain scenario
-(cT)2 = (vt)2 - (ct)2
then it says Hence:
t=[tex]\frac{T}{\sqrt{1-v^{2}/c^{2}}}[/tex]
But this doesn't rearrange to that equation, and I don't like taking formulae as fact without seeing them derived or working them out for myself.
Obviously with next to no knowledge about special relativity at the moment, I stand no chance of deriving it for myself so can anyone point me to where it is shown, or maybe even do it?
