Description

This presentation will show that the velocity triangle, subject of several presentations in this venue, is observable in the spatial plane of a third reference frame in relative motion normal to the the velocity triangle. This implies that the velocity triangle is not only a useful mathematical construct, but is in fact the physical reality underlying the Special Theory of Relativity.
