Speed of Light or Composition of Velocities
We analyze in our paper questions of the theory of relativity. We approach this theory from the point of view of velocities and their composition. This is where the functional equations appear. Solving them leads to a world where velocities are bounded from above, the upper bound being exactly the “...

| description | We analyze in our paper questions of the theory of relativity. We approach this theory from the point of view of velocities and their composition. This is where the functional equations appear. Solving them leads to a world where velocities are bounded from above, the upper bound being exactly the “speed of light”. |
