| | | | | What's the difference between "Geschwindigkeit" (German
for
| | speed)
| | | | | and "Geschwindigkeit" (German for velocity)?
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | | Dunno exactly.
| | | |
| | | | The difference is direction.
| | | |
| | | | And if you don't know enough English to understand the
English
| | words
| | | for
| | | | magnitude and direction,
| | | |
| | | | I do. The words you asked about were in German.
| | |
| | | No you don't, you hallucinate distance is a scalar.
| | |
| | | No, distance does not have a direction.
| |
| | Geschwindigkeit doesn't have direction.
| | Ergo Geschwindigkeit isn't a vector. You said velocity was a vector
| and
| | speed wasn't.
| |
| | Well, I guess "Geschwindigkeit" doesn't mean exactly the same thing as
| | "velocity".
| |
| Yes it does, there are lots of books on the subject.
|
| | Like I said, I don't know much German.
|
| If you don't know enough English to understand the German words for
| magnitude and direction,
|
| I can't see

Ah, that's the problem. Get a pair of spectacles, after 30 years you
of not studying vector algebra obviously need them to help you see.

| you shouldn't try and learn basic vector algebra
| from books written in English. I would have thought this to be obvious.
| There are lots of books in English on the subject.
|
|
| In fact, I have read some of them.

That doesn't follow.

| | ****in' stupid, aren't you?
| |
| | | If you Google
| | If I don't google distance will still be a vector.
| |
| | I gave you multiple web sites which quite explicitly stated the exact
| | opposite.
| |
| Distance is still a vector.
|
|
| I gave you multiple web sites

But you can't see, so you gave me rubbish.
The difference is speed is a magnitude and velocity is a directional vector.
What's the difference between "Geschwindigkeit" (German for speed)
and "Geschwindigkeit" (German for velocity), now that I've told you, you
useless stupid **** that lies he's studied vector algebra but learnt
nothing?

What experimental predictions of relativity do you not believe in, you
ignorant *******?
