I am glad you seemed to have accepted my apology. Thank you.
You said "It has everything to do with the clock that you observe in ANOTHER inertial frame." My understanding of your ANOTHER inertial frame was: remote observation. But, the clock I observed in another inertial frame must come...
If my language was insulting, I apologize to everyone who felt insulted. But how about Janus Bertrand Russell quote? Was it insulting?
I did not answer you because I need not answer everybody. To do so would keep me too busy. Let me answer you now. You said: "The alien's clock is slower...
Janus, you quoted from Bertand Russell, saying "
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
It seemed to me Bertrand Russell's words correctly desbribed you guys supporting Einstein's theory because...
From your words "We are all moving...with respect to... aliens..." I gethered you meant that we are able to detect the aliens' time slowed down, time dilation. That is, for instance on Earth we are able to detect the time of Martians slowed. Martians are able to detect the time of us...
Whenever people pointed out Einstein's mistakes, they were introduced to read materials that improved on Einstein's original. I think this is not a good practice. That is, you indirectly acknowledged Einstein was wrong, and ask us to see other physicist's writing which improved on Einstein...
I don't think I was onfused by the meaning of the word event. It was Einstein who said so: events which take place on the line also take place at a particular place on the train.
Besides, Einstein also used "vise versa" to imply that there were 4 events. If there were no events on the...
Einstein said:
"People traveling in this train will with advantage view the train as a rigid reference-body (co-ordinate system); they regard all events in reference to the train. Then every event which takes place along the line also takes place at a particular point of the train."
The...
I believe there were four events because Einstein finally concluded that: "Events which are simultaneous with reference to the embankment are not simultaneous with respect to the train, and vice versa." This vice versa means there were two event A' and B' on the train and another two A and B on...
Your meth analysis was completely false. Let me redraw Einstein thought experiment.
A__________M__________B.
A__________M'__________B.
Einstein's thought experiment stupilated that lightning stuck simultaneously at both ends A and B. Further it said "Then every event which takes place...
I certainly did read the whole chapter, and I found it was impossible to understand. Einstein first said: "People traveling in this train will with advantage view the train as a rigid reference-body (co-ordinate system); they regard all events in reference to the train..." Then he changed his...
Was Einstein Wrong?
In Chapter 9, The Relativity of Simultaneity, of Einstein’s book Relativity (http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/einstein/works/1910s/relative/index.htm), Einstein said: “Hence the observer will see the beam of light emitted from B earlier than he will see that...
I think this was where you people misunderstood things and still did not realize. It is true if we actually measure time with clocks, we will find that this agrees with the time calculated by d/v. I totally agree. But your interpretation is quite untrue. Let me repeat my simple example...
From the beginning of my taking part in this time dilation thread, I pointed out I disagreed with the language you people were using. By language, I meant, if we obtained time intervals from speed and distance, our right to expain (why longer and shorter time intervals were obtained) must be...
language problem
If you did use clocks to measure, you should have got art - det = time interval. For instance, the train departs at 1 o'clock and arrives at 2, then 2 - 1 = 1 hour, the time interval. I said you never used the clocks because you never gave us such equations. All your...
difficult language
I had difficulty with your language. Though you had the tool clocks, but you never used them to do the measurement. Instead all your time intervals were obtained from d/v. Here again, d/c, with the d representing the two diagonal distances and c for the speed of light...
