You overlooked the fact that there was no E-synch in the triplet example, which means that there was no relativity of simultaneity and no observed...
Time dilation is what happened, but I want to know the cause. What makes people age differently just because they are in different (inertial)...
If you don't know about an item, or if you don't care about an item, then don't worry about it. But I have seen many "explanations" of the Triplet...
Is would be nice to eliminate the following from the Twin Paradox: 1. Acceleration 2. Clock synchronization 3. Reciprocal Geometric effects...
As we all know, time is no longer absolute, but is relative, but I really cannot see why the former was abandoned for the latter. Part (or maybe...
It is not my intention to be argumentative or to stir up trouble, but I do feel obligated to defend myself a bit, so bear with me. The Lorentz...
It seems that you are using theory A and theory B instead of SR. These two theories pertain to intrinsic ruler and clock distortions, but SR, as...
Textbooks rarely mention the Kennedy-Thorndike experiment, much less the fact that its null result was independent of the Michelson-Morley result....
---------- Do you see the problem? ---------- First of all, let me say that I do not have an agenda other than to discover the truth. This should be...
Before your [Neddy's] above, it may be helpful to clear up the "closing velocity" claim. The first clue that the w = c - v case is not a closing...
Here's another clue: It is not a closing velocity because such velocities cannot conflict (or even apparently conflict) with the principle of...
Here is how Einstein put it: "... the tip of the ray will be transmitted with the velocity c relative to the embankment." [_prior_ to Einstein...
Here is another clue: No closing velocity case would require a complete revolution of physics, with relative time replacing absolute time, but, as...
Now to address your above query: ---------- The clocks in the embankment frame measure the speed of light relative to the train to be c+v in one...
---------- But how did they come to be synchronized in exactly the way they are? They were set by sending a round-trip light signal, thus ensuring...
---------- But that same synchronization method could be used on the train, and then the train would measure the speed of light relative to the...
I do not understand your statement that by my definition, the clocks on the train would be absolutely synchronized when synchronized per Einstein's...
Since the only way to obtain c for light's one-way speed prior to SR was to use absolutely synchronous clocks while being at absolute rest in...
One does not have the option to define some sort of "synchronization," i.e., one does not have the option to set clocks according to one's wishes;...
G'day, Neddy, But would you really measure, say, a distance or a length with a warped ruler, for example? It seems to me that one would want...
