Surprising how unfamiliar familiar equations like the Lorentz
transformation look when converted from its usual mathematicerese and

I like to think unicode would help.
But I find it does not help much:
(c-a)/(1 - ca/c²)
[And I would have sworn there should be a √ somewhere?
Dont remember any of this…]
