    Undergrad How does an arbitrary choice of the origin affect real observations?

    Sorry for the imprecision of my language. Maybe just one more try, from a more intuitive angle: - there are two parallel lines of clocks, say infinitely long, at rest. All the clocks read 10:00. Rest frame S. - one line of clocks starts moving in the positive X direction and becomes the new...

    Undergrad How does an arbitrary choice of the origin affect real observations?

    Problem I can't seem to get my head around, if anyone can help - consider: - a stationary frame S containing an infinite line of clocks in the x direction - an (initially) stationary frame S', also containing an infinite line of clocks in the x direction - the clocks in S and S' are synchronized...
