То, что свет нельзя обогнать, сложение скоростей, замедление времени — всё это стоит на обычном школьном синусе, которому угол сделали мнимым. Не метафора и не «похоже» — буквально та же функция.Давайте убедимся в этом сами.Это финал серии. В первой синус был показан тенью вращающейся стрелки, во второй — каталогом из сорока с лишним мест, где эта тень лежит. А в конце каталога была ремарка, что у синуса есть гиперболический двойник,...
