DavidMiranda replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.You are absolutely right. I was trying to eat the cake and have it: I didn't want to say what the assumptions I was making were, to... -
DavidMiranda replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.It is difficult to explain my claim without saying what the assumptions actually are, but it is true, if you only change the Principle...

There are multiple ways to arrive at SR, and not all of them directly put in the invariant speed of light as a postulate. So-called "one...

DavidMiranda replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.I understand that not all axiom systems are minimal or categorical, let alone unique. That you raised that point clearly shows I did...

DavidMiranda replied to the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force?.So, even if in some frames there is an actual change in momentum, because in others we can make the force vanish, technically it is a...

DavidMiranda replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.Well, what I was more preoccupied about, here in particular, was what I could do to pursue the idea. I was aware this wasn't the place...

DavidMiranda replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.Thank you for the suggestion. I am new here and was unaware I could/should send a direct message to the mentors for this. Don't worry...

DavidMiranda posted the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this in Special and General Relativity.After doing some calculations, I found a model that leads to some of the same results as Special Relativity, specifically time dilation...
