Here are some slides from Vokos' talk at https://www.aapt.org/doorway/TGRU/...

I'm not sure what the best tools are to treat the relativity of simultaneity. I find space-time diagrams (Minkowskii diagrams)...

If you have a sous vide you could test temperature dependence. Room temperature and residential water temperature can fluctuate. I don’t...

Here is the arxiv version Student understanding of time in special relativity: simultaneity and reference frames Rachel E. Scherr, Peter...

Could it be a temperature difference? 18” of water is about 0.05 atmospheres, so it is some pressure but not a lot.

In my experience this definitely takes a great deal of time and effort. Reading something like Spacetime Physics by Taylor and Wheeler...

MENTOR NOTE: This thread is a continuation of the following thread and focuses on Relativistic Simultaneity and it's effects on time...

This book is great! I love how it's written. I just read chapter 4: Trip to Canopus and found that extremely enlightening, thank you for...

Experiment shows that an accelerating clock continues to keep accurate time. This is the "clock hypothesis". It is tested by measuring...

Thank you all for the replies, I feel like I may be getting the idea.. The perception of time never changes for the observer, time...

The Laplace transform also has the same issue. If we take the Laplace transform of the equation above we get...

The ideal circuit has no real solution. The voltage at ##t=0## is undefined. Yes. Does that not clue you into the fact that the original...

Yes. The equations for the original circuit have no real solution. So it makes sense that it wouldn’t simulate without R2. Yes, I showed...

You are currently truly still in your reference frame. How do you currently perceive time?

In your sim you added R2. This is perfectly reasonable to do, but it is no longer the circuit that the argument is about. Once you add...
