RE: Piqued #2: A Crash Course In Spacetime
You are absolutely correct - and I am going to edit it to better clarify.
And please continue to comment on future mistakes, errors and misinterpretations. Part of my aim is to oversimplify for the sake of a broader understanding - but the truth is my own knowledge can be too shallow. It's one thing to simplify something complicated and another entirely to misrepresent due to ignorance. To the extent i approach or accidentally engage in the latter I apologize now and in the future, but will always try to avoid it and fix it when it does.
You don't have to apologize! We are all humans after all. Your positive reaction to my comment is making me happy :)
I am a firm believer that ignorance is an acceptable flaw if you have a willingness to admit your wrong and rectify your ignorance! I've corrected the article to include Lorentz and specifically Minkowskis post special relativity work. Thank you again!
As well as Poincare - this is what happens when you are editing from inside a bar :))

@lemouth - I have a new post which continues this discussion. I wanted to jump to warp engines an wormholes - but as I wrote that I realized I needed to talk about the speed limit first. I would love your opinion given your expertise! https://steemit.com/science/@dber/piqued-3-a-crash-course-towards-the-speed-of-light
Thanks for the pointer to your post! I will try to find some time today or tomorrow and let you know!
Thank you! Regardless of whethrr you upvote it your opinion really does matter to me - no point in my being entertaining if I'm not right!
