Well, yes, I do understand, Eric.  If you had read the entire post,
you would have read the sentence that said, Scientists lie all the
time.  As I recall, you were going to prove that these equations are
wrong.  Just take a few minutes and show all of these scientists how
well you understand.

                        x'=x-vt
                        y'=y
                        z'=z
                        t'=t

                        w=velocity of light
                        x=wt
                        x'=wn'
                        wn'=wt-vt
                         n'=t(1-v/w)
