Einstein's 1905 postulates, true or false, entail the following conclusion:publish his paper.
If two clocks are initially stationary and synchronized but then one moves towards and finally meets the other, either clock will see the other lagging behind.
The conclusion is validly deducible from the postulates but is obviously absurd, which shows that at least one of the postulates is false (reductio ad absurdum). So if Einstein had obeyed logic in 1905, Max Planck would not have found courage to
Einstein fraudulently tweaked the conclusion and camouflaged the absurdity. Here is the tweaked version:clock at A is moved with the velocity v along the line AB to B, then on its arrival at B the two clocks no longer synchronize, but the clock moved from A to B lags behind the other which has remained at B by tv^2/2c^2 (up to magnitudes of fourth and
If two clocks are initially stationary and synchronized but then one moves towards and finally meets the other, the stationary clock will see the moving clock lagging behind while the moving clock will see the stationary running fast.
And the fraudulent text:
Albert Einstein, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, 1905: "From this there ensues the following peculiar consequence. If at the points A and B of K there are stationary clocks which, viewed in the stationary system, are synchronous; and if the
The tweaked version is clearly non sequitur - it doesn't follow from Einstein's 1905 postulates. Still it became Einstein's "my precious", for two reasons:
1. It doesn't sound absurd.
2. It entails TIME TRAVEL INTO THE FUTURE - the miracle (more precisely, idiocy) that converted Einstein into a deity:
