Because you and your god do not undertsand it. Many  mathematical
formulas carry restrictions due to the proof involved. Your bad habit
of reading things without considering the context is making you make
fool of your self here agin. This "triviality" is not understood by
Einstein as in the following phrase shows:

In the relativiistic addition of velocities, one cannot set v=c as LT
is undefined there. The formula of relativisitc addition of speed
comes from LT. So, it is not as trivial as you thought, Einstein did
not understand this basic secondary school mathematics.

You do not understand what deduction means. This is the problem with
you. One does not talk big on things which he does not understand.
Read some very basic SR book and look for the relativisation of speed.
Set v=v'=c, then you deduce c+c=c. O fcourse this is all wrong and
this nonsense comes from Einstein's violation of the restriction on v
imposed by LT which he used to derive this formula.

Einstein thought that "photon which does not stop has rest mass and it
is zero". This is the same mistake as assuming that vertical line has
slope zero. Vertical lines have not slope because the run on vertical
line is zero. A line having slope zero is a different thing. They are
horizontal lines. Correct understanding of photon must be that it has
no rest mass and its speed is c.

This is not a scientific response as most of your responses are. It
tells a lot about you. <G> After all many of prominet methamtical
logicians who worked with theoretical physicists complained that
theoretical physictsts do not undertsand logic and mathematics. Their
thinking is bizzare and obscure. They do not know what they are
talking about. Certainly the king of theoretical physics did not know
that his own formula for the relativisitc addition of speed was under
the restircition v must be less than c due to the LT. He did not
undertsnad that a particle which does  not stop cannot have rest mass,
even zero rest mass. Separaring these thwo concept of having not rest
mass and having zero rest mass requires clear thinking which your god
who did poorly in secondary school maths did not have.

Read above. Try to understand veruy basic of SR and how the
relativisitc addition was deduced from SR's axioms. If you do not
understand logic, mathematics and SR, you are in the wrong place.

Read any biography on Einstein. it tells you this very well known

It is not up to you to make this judgement. You said nothing
scientific. Just try to learn some very basic science and mathematics.
Then we may have some meaningful discusssion. So far all what has been
made clear is that you do not understand what you are talking about.
No substance no nonsense. The forum deserves a little more than what
you have been offering.
