Pythagorean theorem

This is a nice article! Since you mention the Pythagorean theorem in the example of the light beam in the train, why not complete the thought and note that the formula for time dilation follows directly from it? The Lorentz transformations don't actually involve any advanced mathematics. Greg Woodhouse 22:41, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
