Richard Perry: Without so much as a howdy doo.  (21-Apr-2003)

LOL!

I've read the derivations, they all include mental masturbations.

For instance Einstein goes from:

       t' = t + vt^2/x(gamma)
to
       t' = t + vx/c^2(gamma)

Without so much as a howdy doo.

He provides no reason to prefer the latter form over the former, he
states simply that t^2/x = x/c hence it would seem because of this
equivalence in regard to a photon, he for some reason known only to him
found it requisite to make that substitution.
