Drunk. Probably still are. Definitely had too much, but flatmate finally got his M.Eng after years of bullshit, so at least it seemed like a good occasion.

    but if you really hate yourself, do d(𝛾*t' = t), with 𝛾(t), and then do algebra for days.

I have a math major and loved courses like real analysis, so obviously started drinking and deriving from Lorentz transform. For kb's case I got:

  t = sqrt(x²/c² + 2x/g)

t' = (c/g) asinh(gt/c)

x - distance from stationary frame's perspective.

Mea maxima culpa if I fucked it up along the way, but it looks reasonable to me.
