That is what I realised, but it seems this realisation did me no good.
You are of course right. M' must only be able to do the same meassurement in his frame as M does on the embankment. This is one thing it seems I...
I asked politely (my first post) if non-mathematical discussions were in order. I did not receive a confirmation that it was, but I did not hear a...
That may, or may not be true. I have no way of establishing it. I have shown my line of reasoning. If your answer is "you're an idiot", I am not...
Yes. I am not there yet.
Yes, I think they're very different beasts. But light signals is involved in all of them, so that's the similarity. It seems to me that the logical...
The relativity of simultaneity Janus58 an I are having a dispute about what can be agreed upon between different frames of reference. We disagree...
Thanks for replying. That's an interesting answer. I will have to study it in order to see if I think the "qualification" makes the "yes" into a...
I am a bit unsure about whether to accept your rephrasing of what I have said in general, but right now, I will only take exception to this: If...
Hehe, thanks, but I think, and indeed hope you are wrong. After all, I come here for help and guidance. It's just that I don't have a lot of prestige...
Yes, you are right, I was wrong. Everything in the second graphic seemed to move to me, but it was late here. Sorry for the noise.
I know where to find it, thank you. OnlyMe pointed me to it earlier. But I didn't catch your answer. I asked if you ment that: "When...
Are you saying that when (simultaneously as) the position of the moving observer is at the same point as the stationary observer, there are also...
When one makes a graphic of these things, It appears to me that one is only putting it all in one reference frame, that of the graphic. I'm not sure...
I must admit I coudn't quite follow all of that, I am not used to thinking about this as expanding circles. I believe your first graphic is...
But A doesn't know about relativity in the sense of what E is deducing from these experiments. E is using this experiment for that deduction. A...
The relativity of simultaneity Again, thanks or the link, I read a little bit whenever I have the time. I have been mulling over relativity of...
OnlyMe said: Yes, I have heard this before, too. Funny thing is that B can never return to A without messing with the uniform movement (sorry, I...
My rationale for thinking observed slowdown of clock rate is due to Doppler effect might be this: Sound, light and clocks have somethig in common...
How do we detect the slowdown of clocks? I posted this question: I received this: And a much longer one from OnlyMe which I won't quote, but...
