The following describes a very elegant and simple derivation of the relativistic
formula for the addition of velocities, w = (u+v)/(1 + uv/c^2).

It is due to David Mermin.

It assumes the unproven second postulate is correct.

It is crap.... just like the postulate.
What does Fizeau's experiment show, Henri?

That BaTh is correct.

I see.
So according to the "BaTh", velocities transforms like this:
w = (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2)
which implies that the velocity c transforms like this:
w = (c+v)/(1+cv/c^2) = c

Why do you call your theory the "BaTh" when it is
identical to SR?
