Well, you can try to make things complicated,

If velocity as a vector is too complicated for you, you'd better give
up on physics.

Now, stop asking me any question before having reading and understanding
what I tried to explain in my previous posts.

You have not explained anything in your previous posts. All you did
was show the Lorentz equations, which as anyone can see, are the
Lorentz equations. As I stated before you even posted anything, the
Lorentz equations automatically keep the velocity of light correct
because if x or x' are negative, then the velocity of light is
automatically negative, even though it is not specifically shown
because the speed of light is always shown as being squared in the
Lorentz equations. The Lorentz equations are using velocity of light
and not the two little equations that Einstein extracted, x=ct,
x'=ct'. So if w is the velocity of light, then you can substitute w
for the speed of light in the Lorentz equations and get a better idea
of what the equations mean. Or, as I said, you can continue to
discuss relativity of simultaneity and distance contraction with other
scientists. I don't care what you do.
