Extract

The Einstein relative-velocity formula. Milne (3) has remarked that in kinematical relativity, whereas the Lorentz transformation is valid in t-time but fails in τ-time, the Einstein relative-velocity formula is valid both in t-time and τ-time, thus implying the validity of the latter in a more general system. It was thought that some interest might be attracted to a description of the most general system under which the Einstein formula holds.
