Making sense of relativistic composition of velocities

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2019-10-16 v1

Abstract

What does it mean to ``add'' velocities relativistically -- clarification of the conceptual problems, new derivations of the related formulas, and identification of the source of the non-associativity of the standard vector version of the addition formula are addressed.
