The theorem for the addition of velocities given in SR is provably wrong. V1 + V2 The theorem gives V3 = ------------------- 1 + (V1 x V2) This violates the conservation of momentum. As an example: The addition of .75c + .75c = .96c The momentum (of a one gram mass) for .75c would be 1 gr x .75 c p = ----------------------- = 1.1339 sqrt(1-(v^2/c^2) Since both velocities are of a 1 gr mass, the second momentum is the same. So the combined momenta of the resulting velocity is 2.2678 The resulting velocity, according to SR, is .96c, and the momentum of a one gram mass would be 1 gr x .96c p = -------------------- = 3.42815 .28 So we see that the addition of the momenta is not commensurate with the addition of velocities. Therefore the addition is not correct. (The correct addition yields .915c) |
