| Mar 2 at 13:45 | comment | added | Barmar | @KDP If you read the quote in GiorgioP's answer, it's an obvious consequence. It seems unlikely that someone as intelligent about mechanics would not see this. | |

| Mar 1 at 21:39 | comment | added | KDP | Did Galileo ever claim that velocities are additive or do people just assume he thought that? | |
