I think I should stop this discussion from my side. It was good to learn that this is how "spirit of the game" is defined on PF. In last three days of my participation in PF discussions on relativity, I have collected more infraction points (rather than information) than anybody else who...

Well, paw told me similar thing. Though I'm not sure will I be able to translate the situation in two frame situation, because there may be some complications. Dear Sir, as MeJennifer and pawhas pointed out, A and B being stationary with respect to each other, and no acceleration being...

Which of the observer will observe invariant interval? If none, than we must not bring in any invariant time interval into discussion. Well, yes, clocks do not indicate the time, but the rate of time, however, our problem also involves rate of time only, and not absolute time. And surely...

Dear pav, Thank you for your extensive support and help. See you tomorrow again... In the meantime, is not there anybody willing to help or join the discussion?

Thanks! One word - Overwhelming! Regards, Mitesh

@shoehorn Thanks for your reply, however, as of now, I am actively involved in chemistry, and wish to study SR (and GR too), by self learning. My uni doesn't provide any courses in any of the subjects sited above, and hence, I would be dependent largely on internet. As it may be, thanks again...

Any standard texts for all of these subjects for a beginner? If you can suggest something easy for self study? Thanks and regards, Mitesh

I exactly see what you want to show me (see the Edit, sorry for the delay), however, the acceleration (or de-acceleration) requires collision. And without (or before) collision, there won't be any acceleration (or de-acceleration). In turn collision requires same spacetime coordinates, which as...

I would also like to know...

Sure, but my point is, as there is no absolute time (irrelative to any other time, but truly absolute), there is no absolute place as well (we arbitrarily select them as per our convenience). Ideally, they must not collide. Two observers can only collide if their all spacetime coordinates (that...

Well, I get that now, but that means that they are at same place, but different time, because, they are sharing same spatial coordinates (x,y z), but their time is different. I think that's what you wish to convey (or is there any other definition of space time coordinates, that I am not aware...

Well, In the domain of SR, different observers, according to their position, are bound to see different things. For instance, an observer observes a meter stick to be of 1 meter, and the same meter stick is less then 1 meter for an observer with a relative velocity! As about the EM experiment...

Let's remove crash, or anything related to acceleration. And let's go a little slow as well. What I gather is that, when C and B coincide (that is they are sharing the same coordinates of space), and removing light travel delays, both will see each other's clocks slow? When they are face to face...

Thanks, I had read about that somewhere, and I only could remember this problem about him. Now, as we have concluded here, both observers on B and C frames think they are running faster than other in time (i.e. their clocks are faster then the other one), but when C coincides with B, he can...

So is it the same thing that happens in muon lifetime case? Muons see our clocks slower, while we see muons' clock slower?
