Really unintuitive, I thought that only the speed in the same direction would be influenced!
Marius Smallegoor
Time is (equally) changed for all directions, so the speeds must have changed too.
Roger Puffett
OK, I get it that the co-ordinates of the moving 'object' were taken from the perspective of the stationary 'platform'. And that when these are translated to the perspective of a frame of reference moving at velocity V in the x direction the spatial co-ordinates of the y and z components remain unaffected but the time component will be, and as Velocity = Distance/Time then the Velocity must therefore be affected. So far, so good - but much more of this and my brain will boil!
