Home Is Where The Wind Blows

An immortal fumble by Androcles (23-Jul-2001)

Sqrt(1) has two answers, 1 and -1, so we have two gamma's.
You understand Einstein's derivation? What a joke! You probably dont even
know that sqrt(1) has two answers, 1 and -1. The correct answer to the
question I gave, and you guessed at, is
 tau  = (t + vx/c^2)/sqrt(1 (PLUS) v^2/c^2)
 xi   = (x + vt/c^2)/sqrt(1 + v^2/c^2)
 eta  = y
 zeta = z
You are proven wrong.
