Of course, even your example units don't always behave like you want. For velocities, 150 megameters/second + 150 megameters/second ≈ 240 megameters/second.

- all-fakes 6y agoSorry, can you explain why the velocities should add that way? I've always just seen velocities add like regular old vectors, so this looks very strange.

- Gladdyu 6y agoThat'd be special relativity for you - nothing ever exceeds the speed of light, hence a corrective factor needs to be applied. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity
