Like.
At what time, by whose set of synchronized clocks, at which carriage location? When A carriage 1 reads 2 sec, A carriage 2 also reads 2... -
MMike_bb replied to the thread Undergrad Reciprocal time dilation on the example with two moving trains.case 1 : Train A carriage 1, Train B carriage 1: 0sec, 0sec (clocks are synchronized) case 2 : Train A carriage 1, Train B carriage 2...

Agree.
It usually helps immensely in describing a scenario by drawing it. Even a very basic one. :) -
MMike_bb replied to the thread Undergrad Reciprocal time dilation on the example with two moving trains.These values are random. I just show that one of these measurement less than another due to time dilation effect.

MMike_bb replied to the thread Undergrad Reciprocal time dilation on the example with two moving trains.Passenger see another passenger in the window of carriage. The clocks are synchronized as I mentioned above in my post #1.

What do you mean by "see passenger in carriage"? Are the clocks on each train synchronized using the Einstein convention in the...

MMike_bb replied to the thread Undergrad Reciprocal time dilation on the example with two moving trains.Ibix, It's easier than you think. The train A are moving towards train B (parallel motion). Passenger in carriage 1 of train A records...

MMike_bb replied to the thread Undergrad Reciprocal time dilation on the example with two moving trains.What will happen when passenger in carriage 2 of train A and passenger in carriage 2 of train B record measurements of clocks? What...

I don't think there's enough information to answer. This is why the homework forums require a complete statement of the problem, because...

MMike_bb replied to the thread Undergrad Reciprocal time dilation on the example with two moving trains.This mean that clocks in the carriage 1 of Train A show 2sec while clocks in the carriage 2 of Train B show 1.9sec (time dilation).

MMike_bb posted the thread Undergrad Reciprocal time dilation on the example with two moving trains in Special and General Relativity.Hello! Let we have two trains: A,B and the clocks are in carriages. Train A is moving towards train B. Trains are moving parallel to...

MMike_bb replied to the thread High School Can anyone deeply understand relativity?.Nice answer! It's an example that persistent matters. "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer" Albert...

MMike_bb reacted to Dale's post in the thread High School Can anyone deeply understand relativity? with
Informative.
My “aha moment” came when I drew my first spacetime diagram complete with coordinate lines for both frames via the Lorentz transform... -
MMike_bb reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Why does coordinate dependence violate homogeneity in spacetime intervals? with Agree.
It's a bit loose. I would simply say: if space and time are homogeneous then we can conclude that ##a## in ##ds^2=ads'^2## does not...

MMike_bb replied to the thread Undergrad Why does coordinate dependence violate homogeneity in spacetime intervals?.Thx. Does my post #20 contain true reasoning?
