Special Relativity

The basic translational equations of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity are presented here.

Einsteinian Commandment:   "Thou shalt not add thine own
                                                speed directly to the speed of
                                                thine fellow traveler."

 

c = speed of light. Primed quantities are moving at speed "v"
