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.
See:

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?
..the experiment was not sufficiently accurate to detect the difference between
the predictions of the two theories.

And the prediction of the BaTh for Fizeau's experiment is? :-)


Try this:

So "the BaTh" is the same as Curt Renshaw's radiation continuum model (RCM)?
Why have you then invented a new name for it?
A copyright violation.
