Can "NOT" control this 486/100 well enough to reply NOW.
when i CAN get back to the 386/20 i'll snip
the string and submit the question to GNUplot
my guess it will gag & I'll have to try to
translate it into gnuplot lexicon & syntax
v_3=sqrt(v_1^2+v-2^2-(v_1*v_2/c)^2)[/quote]
Huh? Does that work out? Hey, that's right. It follows right from his equation:

If this is nonrelativistic v_1*v_2 much less than c^2, we get from your equation that
6:10 A.M. its confusing {HARD TO SORT} on this 486
v_3=sqrt(v_1^2+v_2^2)

And, as you say, in order for that to be true, the right hand side would have to be also equal to v_1 + v_2
6:11 A.M. my 1st guess would be that ^ must change to **
I think the basic error is his assumption that the dilations compound by multiplication. He assumes that if A sees B as twice as slow, and B sees C as twice as slow, then A will see C as four times as slow. That's obviously not true--just let C be the first observer A. A would see A as four times as slow?
