You have a special case where the two events both occur at ##x = 0##. That means that throwing the ball was an unnecessary detail. You really just took two times at the spatial origin of ##S##. And have essentially an example of time dilation.Lotto said:So they both have to agree on times when the particular event happend, for S it was ##t## and for S' it was ##t'##, if I use the Lorentz transformation for ##t## or ##t'##, I have to get the same relation between these two times. And each stationary observer thinks that in the moving frame of reference time passes more slowly.
The Lorentz Transformation (LT) can transform any two events. In general, as I think has been mentioned before in this thread, the LT encapsulates time dilation, length contraction and relativity of simultaneity.
Ultimately, the Lorentz Transformation is a pair of invertible equations and you can't boil them down to "each observer thinks time passes more slowly".
