DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.Let’s look more closely at what you call garbage. The front of a light wave leaves point O at t=t’=0 and going at arccos(v/c) ends at...

DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.I say, let's not do this. Let's try a vertically positioned flat screen at any end of the flash along x or x'. You are tailoring my...

DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.I'm afraid, that's exactly the problem. That's why I posted this - I need to understand why I am wrong.

DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.For my argument, it really doesn't matter whether we speak about a flat front of the wave or a series of pulse sources of light located...

DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.Thanks Dale, at the moment I have no conclusion. I need to understand whether my logic is correct or incorrect, and if it is incorrect...

DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.Thanks. Perhaps I don't get it, but I don't see how they are invariant. If we have a flat fan of N rays between 0 and arccos(v/c) in O...

DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad The Einstein Clock aka Light Clock.Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all. I still think you do not understand my difficulty. I hope you will see this is not filibuster...

Thought of an easy way to do it. Change the mirror for an absorber. When it is struck by the light, it absorbs it and gains energy... -
DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad The Einstein Clock aka Light Clock.That's what I call a discussion. Right, I want to summarize now what I see, because I can't really reply to all the minor things that...

On reflection (sorry) I'm not sure this is correct, and need to do a bit of maths. It is definitely true that if the source emits a... -

You don't. But you can have a moving source, one which is not always at the same point. The mirror will reflect the same fraction of... -
DmitryS replied to the thread Undergrad The Einstein Clock aka Light Clock.Friends, thank you for all the inputs, because they allow me to make my position clearer. I don't think the aberration will apply here...

DmitryS posted the thread Undergrad The Einstein Clock aka Light Clock in Special and General Relativity.Hello, everyone, hope someone will resolve my doubts. I have posted here some two years ago asking for an explanation of the Lorentz...
