Nope.  Only the relativistic velocity composition equation is
necessary (Equation [A]), which comes directly from the LTEs:

Surely you know that y' = y and z' = z since the motion is solely
along x.  I can only conclude, therefore, that you are obfuscating
in the grand manner of Walnut-brain Wozzie.

But that's not what I'm talking about!
I'm talking about the notion of universal anisochrony, and the fact
that, very strangely, if we observe transverse motions,
we can never measure a speed greater than c.

So?

But that in the longitudinal direction, and everything proves it, both
theory and experiment, we can observe things live.

Not live.  Light transit time delayed.  Stop saying live.  You cheapen
yourself by lying.

There is a geometry of space-time that is real, and lots of others
(including Minkowski's that are not).

Is there a "real" geometry of spacetime?  Geometry is a human concept.

You give me the equation for adding longitudinal relativistic speeds as
if I didn't know it, are you kidding?

You don't act like you know it.  Not deep down in your innards where it
counts.

No, only do I know it, but I can give it to you in general observable
form, in general real form or in vector form.

All I've seen is childish attempts to invent fantasies.

I'll remind you of it here, in observable form and in real form.

R.H.

Since one can always align motion with the x-axis when dealing with two
bodies,
there is no purpose in sines and cosines.  Doing so is just being a
stuffed
shirt.  And it's wrong anyway: "cosu.U" means what?  What is u.U?  Do
you mean
cos(u.U), which makes no sense. Cosines and sines are dimensionless. You need
some formal education in correct mathematical expression.
You always try to run before you can walk.
