Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.And both Popper’s falsifiability and Occham’s razor are naturally implemented quantitatively using Bayesian statistics. -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Some notes on LET for reference.Yes. It just postulates the Lorentz transform directly. Then it makes all the usual predictions. No. LET is equivalent to standard SR... -

These are some questions that one could ask oneself. It would be a good idea to clearly state the assumptions, using precise... -

It wasn't like that. My professors are quite nice, unlike Wolfgang there :DD Basically one said he had too many doctorate students (and... -

If you want the path to be radial in an Earth-centered inertial frame, launching from the rotating Earth, you need to fire it backwards... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.Not really. The classic example of a non-falsifiable theory is “God willed it so”. It fits all the observations perfectly. The goal... -
Dale replied to the thread Simple kinematics problem — falling from a geostationary satellite.Yes. And at the point where they all meet the first two have the same velocity while the third does not. In the future please fill out... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.That is also what I thought. -

Thank you for a thoughtful reply. I'm not sure the fora/fori (I never get the case right) you mentioned will be able to help, but it is... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.That is why I suggested a local college. It is absolutely not reasonable to expect, but nevertheless people who enjoy teaching this... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.It does fit observation! -

I'd say, move on. Study physics, special relativity in particular, but don't limit yourself to it. Later, when you have a reasonable... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.I think that is pretty exhaustive: either get help or do it yourself. Those are the two basic options for most tasks -

I suggested this in post 11, he wants something different. -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.Then you need to branch out beyond your teachers. The other possible approach is to just learn relativity yourself. In the course of...
