Indeed... i will try to do the mathematics related. thanks for the suggestion.

it is actually not an answer to my question.. *cylinder will remain close only if the two lasers (or say a photon)reach those censors at same time. *the clocks will be synchronised for the ground observerB if they are synchronised for the oberverA (as both will be dilated by same amt.)...

here is the arrangement...

that i know.."Loss of simultaneity" there are two observer A and observer B. so two frames,one with observerA in the cab and 2nd with the observerB on ground.

ok i found something more in this. one more problem...there are two elements in my arrangement. the two clocks and and those two lasers attach to those clocks. it is right that the clocks will be dilated by same amount that means the two lasers will shoot photon at same time but as i calculated...

thanks a lot.. :)

yes forget to include length contraction while calculating...now it is okay.(you guys save the life of that old man :-P). but if i again have some doubts or a new arrangement,i will pots that here again.And one more thing... i have a book named Introduction to classical mechanics by David...

oh!sorry i made a mistake in calculation but... i am not getting that equal to equal to the dilation of clock2. "?" and also i didn't get what you actually want to say by your last lines. are they to signify me as a fool?? if so then thank you very much because for me "No one is too intelligent...

Even Enstein didn't describe the actual "mechanism" that why and how clock will dilate if we forget that hypothetical photon clock.what forces acts in slowing down that clock. (*If my knowledge is not in complete.) okay,for the time being i will use Einstein's clock. consider two light...

give me two minutes..

yes it is... my question is not related what is being observed by a single observer individually but what they both will observe simultaneously. clock will appear to slow down only for ground observer not for observer in cab. so does the ground observer will see the cylinder bursting and old man...

It is a thought experiment and based on time dilation. It goes like.. consider a cab moving with a speed close to light.Also the cab has been divide into two equal halves by a glass wall. there are two individuals in cab one in each part of the cab divided by the glass wall.One is very old...
