Like.
As I read it, the OP is effectively asking if Mach's principle holds or not. -
Sagittarius A-Star reacted to FactChecker's post in the thread Undergrad Derive the Lorentz transformation in Minkowski four-dimensional spacetime spacetime with Like.
This is now my favorite video explanation of the Minkowski diagram. It is great that a school like Stanford makes this available on the...

You're wrong because you're using the wrong tools for the job you're trying to do. You haven't done what I strongly advised you to do in...

Sagittarius A-Star replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.The usual light clock does not contain sources of light located on a flat inclined surface. Both mirrors are oriented horizontally. I...

Sagittarius A-Star replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.This doesn't exist. But you can for example approximate locally a (small) segment of a spherical wave-front by a plane, because the...

Sagittarius A-Star reacted to A.T.'s post in the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock with Like.
That's nice. But what is missing, is a systematic approach: 1) Define the full scenario in one frame. 2) Use the full Lorentz...

Besides all above, I think that your attitude towards this problem is what holds you back, even at the subconsious level. You are wrong...
