they both send light to person in the middle. This person is the first to know their state, and then communicate it to the other one inside train. Result should always indicate that rear clock has more time. Thats the fact, you are on station, train is shorter. Light takes exactly same amount of...

I am comfortable with relativity, i understand it but when i read your posts i don't know if you contradict me, or just going around without resolving paradox. Latter scenario is also perfect. But evidently when garage is contracted, forward doors must close first. This destroy symmetry...

so, for one observer rear clock has more time, and for other forward has more? if I am in train and know relativity, i know for sure that forward clock will have more time. if i call person on station, he must confirm it. if I am on station and know relativity, i know that rear clock will have...

Observer standing in the middle of station will see train length-contracted triggering first rear then forward detectors, right? He will see rear clock more advanced than forward. Now he gets a call from a train, and is asked which clock has more time on it. He answers the rear one...

Its my first post here so i say hello to you. I have a 'problem' with understanding relativity. Here is the thing: We have a train and a station. Station and train have same lengths measured in rest (v=0). Station has attached two detectors, one at rear and one at front. They have built...
