In this example I make 2 assumptions 1. if an object is moving through space at time T0 it will be at point x,y,z,T0 and at a different time T1 it will be at a different position x,y,z,T1. The other assumption I make is that light is non ballistic. see the associated pics Referring...

the events will appear simultaneous to both observer A and observer B

if you have a cartesian coord system observer A and observer B's eyes are located on the xy plane Observer A and Observr B can be moving in any direction, at any velocity and any accelleration as long as the direction of travel is parrallell to the plane lightening strikes on the z axis at 10...

I don't know if this is new or not but an alternative way of looking at simultenaity is 1. if you have two events 2. draw a straight line joining the two events 3 find the mid point of that line 4 draw a plane perpendicular to that line at the midpoint any number of observers moving in...

As I see it if Dash is at rest wrt the moving emitter he will aslo see uneven angles Dash is in a spaceship docked at the launch pad and his strobe goes off. The striobe is at the origin os a cartesian coor system and there are 2 light intensity meters (LIM) measuring the light in each...

I admit on some of this this I was guessing but that bit is actually irrelevent. I am firm on the following: 1. The boxcar pulls out of the station 2. Still Bill may assume: Dash is not at his original velocity but Still Bill is at his orginal velocity (ie dash is moving) Still Bill is...

please see the attachment. I am on a computer usign Microsofts new crap word software and it won't allow me to copy and paste can you believe it In the attachment i refer to a previous post of mine .It is the post where I showed that the density of a sphere of photons will change in a moving...

referring to fig 1 Just a question. If Still Bill perceives the bolts as simultaneous will the photons from A strike clock Y simultaneously as the photons from B to clock X? from Still Bills perspective

OK let's say the strikes are simultaneous in Still Bills frame

referring to fig 1 Just a question. If Still Bill perceives the bolts as simultaneous will the photons from A strike clock Y simultaneously as the photons from B to clock X?

FYI the round circles under the boxcar are its wheels they are a little confusing

sorry there was an error in fig 1 I didnt have Dash positioned at point J the correct pic is attached

Even if you ignore what Still Bill sees all together and concentrate on just what Dash observes I seems to get paradoxical results

you say "Do you understand that the relativity of simultaneity means if the strikes were simultaneous in one frame, they were non-simultaneous in the other?" Yes I understand that is the theory I mean that is very basic. If you don't know that then I think you shouldn't be posting here in...
