ABSTRACT

Proof. Let the same time and length units hold for all integral spaces so that the time axes are equal and the same for all the frames,

Ti = Tj = T , i.e. ti = tj = t. (21.1)

Let A = B in the block diagonal matrix D, (6.22). Let v(.)G ≡ v O(.) P and (8.8)

hold in (6.22). Let the velocity v O(.) P of the arbitrary point P be arbitrary. We

use rOiP (ti) ≡ r

Oi P (t) ≡ r

Oi P (t)u, r

Oj P (t; t0) ≡ tv

Oj P , v

O(.) P ≡ v

in (6.22). The equations (8.2) through (8.6), and (21.1) transform the left-hand side of (6.22) as follows:

This holds also for the light velocity c(.) if and only if P = L, for the velocity
