I love the thread title, because it innocently asks us mere humans, many of whom have not had the scary alien-anal probing, whether we would be down...

You give me hope, wegs. Thank you.
Sorry, but there isn't anything funny about any of this. But I appreciate you for trying to add some levity. One could only wish.
Trumb rally in Sanford FL on Monday. Covid germs will be free of charge. Presumably george will be in attendance, standing by, armed, and enforcing...
Yeah... :)
Maybe, just maybe... [img] https://thenib.com/copping-to-it/ Nah...
Tony, It seems to me that the journal did not even understand your idea. They refer to "retarded gravitational waves," meaning that the effects of...
Yes, between 1 and 2. I don't think there are any others, but I'm not sure why, or how to prove it. It seems a little strange that there would only...
I found these simple scaling factors between 1 and 2 which do not have any repeating decimals even when inverted: 1.000 ... 1.000 0.800 ... 1.250...
Mike, I hope you have abandoned your idea that SR deals exclusively with perpetually-inertial reference frames. If not, then I would rather not...
Try this, it is only about two minutes long: [MEDIA] You can see the angled path with your own eyes. There is even a slow-motion version of it at...
There is no need to worry about lag times. You are setting up the thought experiment, so you can establish where event A is located, (I assume it...
No. The observer traveling past the clock sees the clock itself moving relative to him, so the light ray travels the same diagonal path as if it...
phyti; What does any of this have to do with your bizarre claim that my office is length contracted in my own reference frame as I sit in it, but...
phyti; What problem is replacing what problem? I don't see any problems. What does any of this have to do with your bizarre claim that my office...
Okay, so when the photon (Alice) reaches the detector, that clock registers a tick. Let there be a digital display (Derek) on top of the clock which...
Sorry but, ct' does not become ct. The variable t is assigned to the time of some event in the UNPRIMED frame, and the variable t' is assigned to...
If that diagram shows one single clock, then the event marked Alice and the event marked Derek are the same event, both of which occur when the one...
Yes, but in my diagram, I just re-used the graphics that phyti had already made, for my own convenience. I would have had to mirror the image if I...
Separate names with a comma.
