The thread title is the first part of the title of a paper published just today [1]. Here is the abstract: [1]... -
PeroK replied to the thread I The Einstein Clock aka Light Clock.PS note that it is the speed of light that is independent of the motion of the source. Not the velocity of light, which is a vector and... -
PeroK replied to the thread I The Einstein Clock aka Light Clock.There is no problem. In the first case, all emissions were in the direction of relative motion of the reference frames. In the second... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Conservation of angular momentum in the iceskater example.There are two aspects to this question. If we accept the conservation of AM (angular momentum), then it is a simple calculation. You... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?.I accept the general point, but I don't accept that "inertial" or "pseudoforce" make things any clearer than "fictitious" or "illusory"... -
