Abstract

The identification of the Thomas rotation angle of Cartesian coordinates with the angle between relativistic composite velocities leads to a conflict with the concept of intertial motion. As a consequence Thomas rotation is unable to extend the 1 + 1 Lorentz transformation to 1 + 3 dimensions.
