    Special Relativity has come into being for more than one hundred years, it is still half-baked and underdeveloped.

    in 1905 Einstein considered only outbound motion, ignoring inbound motion; the former motion causes time dilation, while the latter causes time contraction, although the above-mentioned dilation and contraction only occur in the perspective and not in
    the objective physical world.

    because not knowing backward motion also causes time contraction, Einstein's follower mess up perspective time with physical time, and blindly conclude that perspective time dilation is physical time dilation.

    I guess the question to ask is if there is one experiment supporting what you have said above.

    Yes, you give a thought experiment, however I was asking about a scientific experiment in the real world, which is not the same thing.

    "Notice that there is already a standard clock for judging time,
    the clock that elapses evenly has already announced that time
    is even, and time does not dilate or contract. With this stand-
    ard, no other standard is needed. It is logically absurd to de-
    clare time dilation on the basis of a non-standard clock com-
    pared to a standard clock."

    Have you seen this video

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSEYzcbPi18

    And read what Lord Essen said (Wikipedia)

    "
    Later life

    Essen spent all his working life at the National Physical Laboratory.

    In 1971 he published The Special Theory of Relativity: A Critical Analysis,[3] questioning Special relativity, which apparently was not appreciated by his employers. Essen said in 1978:[4]

    No one has attempted to refute my arguments, but I was warned that if I persisted I was likely to spoil my career prospects.

    Thanks for your message. thank you for reading my book.
    let me make some explanations:

    1. Regarding inbound motion cause time contraction, what I had in chapter 7, is not the thought experiment. I used 4 different methods to demonstrate the time contraction. I derived the inbound motion Lorenz transformation mathematically.

    2. Regarding the scientific experiment in the real world, there is no way to test Lorenz transformation for outbound motion, where the motion must be Uniform linear motion. The so-called experiments of jet planes orbiting the earth that have been
    reported cannot meet this requirement at all. Corresponding experiments cannot verify the time dilation of outbound motion.

    3. The experiment without considering the inbound motion is a random interpretation experiment while it involved inbound motion. In 1905, Einstein was able to consider outbound motion, so why did so many physicists a hundred years later not simply use
    middle school mathematics to calculate the Lorentz transformation of inbound motion? I am a layman in physics, even I can deduce it. This is a strange thing.

    4. I knew the story of Mr. Essen, but I don't know his book you mentioned. I loved to buy one, but i can not find it in amazon.com. however I don't think Essen had ever talked about inbound motion causing time contraction.

    Einstein made no assumption about time dilation and contraction at all,
    so claiming he only considered only half of it makes no sense.

    He assumed that the speed of light is constant, and that the laws of
    physics are the same for all observers.

    "Faraday's work inspired James Clerk Maxwell to study electromagnetic radiation and light. Maxwell discovered that self-propagating electromagnetic waves would travel through space at a constant speed, which happened to be equal to the previously
    measured speed of light." - Wikipedia.

    The assumption of this 'constancy' was known before Einstein, he simply repeated it.

    Einstein took one additional step: he attempted to reconcile the two postulates. The Lorentz transform helped because it conveniently
    squeezed the other variables, time and length to make this reconciliation happen. Of course it was a theory only at that time, to be confirmed by experiment. It was not instantly accepted, however.

    My opinion at this time is that it was unnecessary to do so.

    This is indeed curious, because, I have a printout of Einstein's 1905 paper in front of me, he writes about a ray of light emitted in the direction of increasing E (Epsilon, which is the x - axis in the moving system) . Is that what you mean? These

    I used four different ways to demonstrate there is upcoming motion beside outgoing motion. Using only high school algebra, I was able to derive the formula for the time contraction coefficient in four different ways. Open the link, take a few minutes to
    read Chapter 7, and you can see the Lorentz transformation of approaching moving objects.

    Again, Einstein's 1905 paper, which involves outgoing moving objects, is not applicable to the case of approaching moving objects.

    most important thing is always to keep in mind that motion is relative. therefore, there is no absolute one-side age-less for any twin. The status of the two frames of reference is equal. Traveling twins have no age advantage .
    any of the twin could seem age less in other twin's perspective, as long as they are not in same position.

    I will read chapter 6. However your work needs some more clarity in certain sections.
    I would really like to see your mathematics peer reviewed by an expert: tell them the conclusions are wrong and the assumptions are wrong, give them that, but ask if given the wrong assumptions, does it prove the case.

    His book is a total muddle, but he seems to be confused by what might
    be considered a temporal analog of Terrell rotation. The visual
    elongation of approaching objects due to light travel times outweighs
    the measured length contraction, so that an approaching rod appears
    elongated even under special relativity, while a receding rod appears
    more contracted than the measured Lorentz contraction. In Liu's case,
    he appears to be mixing Doppler frequency shifts with time dilation.

    You make a good point here. If we were able to make the Earth travel, by some powerful rocket motor, then we could have the Earth age younger than everything else.

    Twins: The Earth twin is the travelling twin, with the Earth, and he returns to the spaceship and finds that the entire Earth is x years younger than the spaceship twin.

    Then: this time it is the spaceships turn to travel. The spacetwin travels and then comes back to find that he is x2 years younger than the Earth twin.

    Now is x1 = x2, they end up the same age. Not sure about the rest of the universe.

    you have asked a key question : the so-called time dilation effect by relativity experts is actually just the delay effect of information transmission.
    when Einstein make the thought experiment about "Relativity of simultaneousity" , what he was figuring is just the information transmission. When Einstein do Lorenz transformation, the relationship between two reference frame is just the speed of light,
    which transfer information between two frames.
    Relativity of simultaniousity is biggest paradox in relativity which is in chapter 9.

    Thanks for reading my book. I can tell that you really read it.
    I am not professional physics guy and i can not do it professional way; although, the math part of chapter 7, is at professional level. i wrote book in my spare time just for fun and for teasing. and i believe Einstein made joke to the world for more
    than 100 hundred years.

    you don't need a extra powerful rocket motor to make earth travel at high speed. earth is travelling at high speed around sun, and higher speed around center of milk way , and much higher speed around ....
    you can now think earth is travelling at almost the speed of light, just chose some reference. always keep in mind that :Motion is relative! Speed is relative.

    My point is simple: outbound motion causes time dilation, inbound motion causes time contraction. Einstein only considered half of it. I used four methods to derive this result, which can be verified using middle school mathematics.

    According to your logic, before Einstein published the theory of relativity in 1905, he must have led a group of physicists to conduct scientific experiments?

    --Jack
    Einstein made no assumption about time dilation and contraction at all,
    so claiming he only considered only half of it makes no sense.

    He assumed that the speed of light is constant, and that the laws of
    physics are the same for all observers.

    The Lorentz transform comes out of that.

    Sylvia
    You have left out the last step, Sylvia.

    1) Einstein only assumed the two postulates
    2) Out of these two assumptions the LTs were derived.

    All correct. But there remains another derived result, the Eponymous Result

    3) Out of the LTs comes not one, but TWO relative velocities: a) the proper velocity v, and b) the coordinate velocity v' which differ by a factor gamma^2.

    I can accept the concept that, compared to a person on Earth, someone who takes a trip at a significant fraction of the speed of light finds out that time has passed more slowly for him, that is, the space-time interval is less for him than for the
    Earth person.

    This effect takes place between two coordinate systems. What about the rest of the universe?

    Tom Roberts, you pudding fingered fool. Two observers, O and O' in relative motion. The observer O at rest in S will measure a relative velocity for observer O'. Call that velocity v. Plug v into the LTs. Time really does pass slower for O' in S and
    meter sticks really do shorten for O' in S. This is not an illusion. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MANY WORLDS INTERPRETATION OF SR that states there in "another" coordinate system S' in which everything thing is just peachy for O'. I am contemplating the
    only the coordinates system that I experience here & now--the here & now of Mitch that is with us forever and is all we have access to--in that here & now I watch O' make measurement in slow motion with clocks that run too slow and with meter sticks that
    are too short. When observer O' is finished measuring and calculating I watch him slowly hold up his results that his relative velocity to me v' is a value that is greater than my relative velocity to him v by a factor of gamma^2.

    Put another way, Tom Roberts, if the principle of relativity is to hold then all frames are equivalent. There should be no favored frame in which two observers carry out their measurements and calculations. Yet for v to equal v' in the preceding
    example, each observer MUST calculate the relative velocity between each other from his own rest frame. If they calculate their relative velocity from the same frame or from any two frames--one of which is not a rest frame for one of them--then
    cataclysmic destruction of SR results.

    value at the same S'-time, O will notice that their readings at a given S-time are actually unequal. These two clocks (both at rest in S') are running at the same rate, but in terms of S the readings of these clocks are offset (skewed) from each other.

    That would be true if the spatially-separate clocks at rest in S' were all correctly synchronized according to S, with no offset in their values. If that were the case, then x',t' would be related to x,t by the equations dx'=g(dx-vdt) and dt'=(1/g)dt.
    Sure enough, accortding to S' this would imply that an object at rest in S (meaning it is moving along increments with dx=0) is moving at speed dx'/dt' = g^2 v.

    However, due to the skew in the synchronizations noted above (the crucial third relativistic effect, which you overlooked), the coordinates x',t' are actually related to x,t by the equations dx'=g(dx-vdt) and dt'=g(dt-vdx). From these we can confirm all
    three (not just two) relativistic effects, i.e., time dilation, length contraction, and the skew of simultaneity, and we find that the velocity of an object at rest in S in terms of the S' measurements is just -v.

    Trevor, simultaneity plays no part. I can make a measurement of Tom Robert's velocity relative to me in my FoR in April of 2023 while he is 5 light years away, and get the value v. A sloth-like Tom Roberts then makes a measurement in my FoR of his
    velocity relative to me in April of 2024 and gets a velocity v'. Neither of us has need of the other's clocks or sticks.

    You are mixing TWO REST frames, each with its own clocks. Tom and I are using MY frame to make both measurements. In that case Tom measures v' and I measure v. You have a problem with that? Then you'll need to take it up with the first postulate.
    Put another way Trevor, what you are failing to understand is that as a guest in my FoR, Tom's meter sticks REALLY ARE shorter and his clocks REALLY DO run slower. This is not some sort of illusion. It is an iron clad consequent of the LTs. You want
    Tom to go back to his own FoR to make the calculation wherein his brain is running at the same speed as mine? Fine. But know that you do this at the expense of the Principe of Relativity or you make SR into an Many Worlds theory. Take your pick.

    same value at the same S'-time, O will notice that their readings at a given S-time are actually unequal. These two clocks (both at rest in S') are running at the same rate, but in terms of S the readings of these clocks are offset (skewed) from each
    other. And the further apart they are spatially separated, the greater the skew in their readings (even though, again, they are running at the same rate).
    When observer O' is finished measuring and calculating I watch him slowly hold up his results that his relative velocity to me v' is a value that is greater than my relative velocity to him v by a factor of gamma^2.
    That would be true if the spatially-separate clocks at rest in S' were all correctly synchronized according to S, with no offset in their values. If that were the case, then x',t' would be related to x,t by the equations dx'=g(dx-vdt) and dt'=(1/g)dt.
    Sure enough, accortding to S' this would imply that an object at rest in S (meaning it is moving along increments with dx=0) is moving at speed dx'/dt' = g^2 v.

    However, due to the skew in the synchronizations noted above (the crucial third relativistic effect, which you overlooked), the coordinates x',t' are actually related to x,t by the equations dx'=g(dx-vdt) and dt'=g(dt-vdx). From these we can confirm
    all three (not just two) relativistic effects, i.e., time dilation, length contraction, and the skew of simultaneity, and we find that the velocity of an object at rest in S in terms of the S' measurements is just -v.

    Simultaneity plays no part.

    To the contrary, the meaning of velocity is a change in spatial position for a given change in time, and this explicitly entails a specified simultaneity, e.g., the speed of a car is moving from A to B is, by definition, the distance between A and B
    divided by the difference between the time the car is at B and the time it was at A, and obviously if we skew the readings of the clocks at A and B we can get any time difference we want. We need the clocks at A and B to be synchronized in order to give
    an accurate measure of the speed. The point is that clocks are inertial synchronized differently for S and S', so this skew must be taken into account.

    Neither of us has need of the other's clocks or sticks.

    Up above you said you were watching O' make his measurement using his dilated clocks and contracted rulers, and this (you said) is why he measures your speed as -gamma^2 v. If you are talking about something completely different now, that doesn't
    involve using the clocks and rulers at rest in a given frame, then you may want to start a new thread.

    ...as a guest in my FoR, Tom's meter sticks REALLY ARE shorter and his clocks REALLY DO run slower.

    If you mean that, in terms of S, the clocks at rest in S' run slow by the factor sqrt(1-v^2), and the spatial length of a standard meter stick is sqrt(1-v^2) meters, yes, that is correct. In addition, inertially synchronized clocks that are at rest in S'
    ahave skewed simultaneity in terms of S (and vice versa). All three of these effects are real, measurable, physical effects.

    This is not some sort of illusion. It is an iron clad consequent of the LTs.

    If by "this" you are referring to time dilation, length contraction, AND the skew of inertial simultaneity, then yes, they are not illusions, they are real physical facts, and all three are entailed unequivocally by the fact that standard inertial
    coordinate systems are related by Lorentz transformations (NOT by the transformations you suggested, that account for just two of the three effects, as explained above).

    Indeed there are, and these "methods" correspond to systems of measurement, which can be expressed as systems of coordinates, of which there are infinitely many. There is a special class of coordinate systems, called the standard inertial coordinate
    systems, that are distinguished by the fact that all the equations of physics take their simple homogeneous and isotropic form when expressed in terms of such systems. These are the measures of space and time that individuals such as yourself invariably
    (albeit unconsciously) regard as the "true" measures for the system in which you are at rest. These systems correspond to the readings on a grid of standard rulers and clocks at rest and inertially synchronized in a given frame, and these systems are

    That gives you the velocity in terms of a system of coordinates that is not a standard inertial coordinate system, it consist of mixing the space coordinate of one with the time coordinate of another. There's nothing wrong with using arbitrary
    coordinate systems like that, but you must not mistake those for standard inertial coordinate systems, i.e., you must realize that the laws of physics are not homogeneous and isotropic in terms of those implicit coordinates. All the propositions that
    you are trying to dispute refer to the descriptions of events in terms of standard inertial coordinate systems, so it is erroneous for you to conflate those systems with various other kinds of systems. Everyone knows that the propositions referring to
    standard inertial coordinate systems don't apply to other systems. Duh.

    ... multiple clock requirements assume the conclusion that all clocks de-synchronize with relative movement.

    No, not at all. Clocks do not automatically adapt their synchronizations to the inertial synchronization based on their states of motion. For example, when you construct a grid of rulers and clocks you must inertially sunchronize them by some process,
    such as (say) shooting identical bullets from identical guns at rest at the midpoint between two clocks, and setting the clocks to equal times when the bullets arrive. This is the necessary synchronization in order for inertia to be isotropic in terms
    of these coordinates, but they don't establish themselves.

    Trevor, it seems to be an idee fixe for you that two clocks are required to calculate a velocity. It also seems quite ridiculous my having to remind you that there are multiple methods to calculate velocity. For instance, if you want to find out the
    velocity of your car over the measured mile, all you need do is subtract the time on your wristwatch when you have completed the mile, from the time on your wristwatch when you started the measured mile. If you hold your wristwatch up to the windshield
    then by using a pair of binoculars, I too can calculate your velocity by reading your wristwatch at the point you finish the measured mile and subtracting that reading from it's reading at the the point you started the measured mile. Two observers. One
    clock. One mile long stick. One velocity. I want you to let that sink in overnight so that you can get your mind right regarding all this two clock nonsense those relativity books told you. Such multiple clock requirements assume the conclusion that
    all clocks de-synchronize with relative movement. I think they call that sort of thing spacetime or some such nonsense.

    An please deepen your understanding of the relativity of simultaneity. It is a consequent of, and dependent on 1) length contraction, 2) time dilation and 3) the claim that there are no favored FoRs (first postulate). The relativity of simultaneity is
    not a third, stand alone pillar of relativity. But you will understand this all tomorrow after Tom Roberts ventures into my FoR with only his co-moving coordinates (his stick) and his ONE clock.

    Yes. This is confirmed by the Hafele-Keating experiment, where the

    Sylvia

    As of Special Relativity, although it has been coming into being for more than a century, it is still a half-baked theory. In his famous relativity essay in 1905, Einstein consider only outgoing motion to conclude the moving clock running slower.
    Calculations using simple junior high school level algebra are sufficient to show that upcoming motion can lead to moving clock running faster, as demonstrated in this book. In other words, in the second half of the special relativity that should be
    developed, the time effect of motion is opposite to the first half of the theory.
    No clock physically goes slower or faster. In special relativity, the time dilation along with time contraction (that should be added) are not objective physical permanent changes, but only temporary changes in other observer's psychological perspective.
    That is theory of perspective rather of physics.

    Thank you anyway.

    1. When I said "SR half-baked", I mean that In his famous relativity essay in 1905, Einstein consider only outgoing motion to conclude the moving clock running slower.

    2. This is just plain wrong, and shows you have a fundamental misunderstanding of SR.
    I used four different methods to get same result. Which method do you think is wrong? it is just simple high school level algebra, would you point out which part is wrong please?

    3. "Lorentz factor", it does not really have an independent use,
    i might has independent use, or not. I don't worry.
    My point is, outbound Lorentz factor is larger then 1, while inbound Lorentz factor is less then 1; which indicate that outbound motion cause time dilation, and inbound motion cause time contraction.

    My point is SR could not claim motion ONLY cause time dilation.

    I've shown you, with full details, that your claim about not taking
    light propagation delays into account when synchronizing clock in
    Einstein's paper is WRONG.

    Your rebuttal about Einstein not using explicitly the word "delay"
    while the two formulas he wrote in part I.1. *directly* imply taking
    this delay into account (a quite trivial point btw) is ridiculous.

    So is your off-topic demented rant about time units used by alien
    on Tau Centuri or Mars.

    Because of your stupidity and lack of integrity you persist in claiming
    this nonsense.

    Hi, Rich

    Yours is excellent thought experiment. Let us forget nobel and godel, that does not help anything. let me explain my point of view in your scenarios:

    No body's clock would run slower or faster. Physically, three clocks will forever show same reading, as UTC.

    However, Special Relative think three clock's reading is different in observer's perspective . According to Special Relativity, from ED's perspective, Tom's clock would "dilated". Lorentz transformation shows that.

    However Special Relative have not considered the situation what would happen in Will's perspective. it just take it for grant that in Will's perspective .

    What I proved is that : in Will's perspective, Tom's clock would runs faster than Will's.

    again: No body's clock would run slower or faster. Physically, three clocks will forever show same reading, as UTC; while some Einstein's follow believe some clock physically runs slower

    Thanks for your excellent thought experiment. it is really smart one.

    Hi, Rich

    Yours is excellent thought experiment. Let us forget nobel and godel, that does not help anything. let me explain my point of view in your scenarios:

    No body's clock would run slower or faster. Physically, three clocks will forever show same reading, as UTC.

    However, Special Relative think three clock's reading is different in observer's perspective . According to Special Relativity, from ED's perspective, Tom's clock would "dilated". Lorentz transformation shows that.

    However Special Relative have not considered the situation what would happen in Will's perspective. it just take it for grant that, in Will's perspective, Tom's clock would "dilated" too, will run slower too .

    What I proved is that : in Will's perspective, Tom's clock would runs faster than Will's.

    again: No body's clock would run slower or faster. Physically, three clocks will forever show same reading, as UTC; while some Einstein's follow believe some clock physically runs slower

    Thanks for your excellent thought experiment. it is really smart one.

    Jack

    It took me quite a while to write all these annotations. And despite
    all of my efforts, my annotations still contain errors.

    Your annotations are 100% made of errors on your part.

    In case you think so, than please show (and prove) at least one.

    I've shown you, with full details, that your claim about not taking
    light propagation delays into account when synchronizing clock in
    Einstein's paper is WRONG.

    Your rebuttal about Einstein not using explicitly the word "delay"
    while the two formulas he wrote in part I.1. *directly* imply taking
    this delay into account (a quite trivial point btw) is ridiculous.

    you mix two different things:
    my annotation

    (which contains about 428 annotations) would be all, totally, 100% wrong.


    I have asked you, to show me at least one error (in any of these 400+ annotations, of course), but you didn't mention any annotation, but a
    chat we had some time ago.

    So, please, show at least one error in any of my annotations!

    You need to quote my comment and mention the text, to which my comment
    belongs.

    Than you need to show, what's wrong with my arguments.

    I have actually introduced Alpha Centaury as an example, because I

    Alpha Centaury is almost the closest star to our 'home star' called 'Sun'.

    Now it is the most simple case of a distant star I could think of.

    But in case you dislake Alpha Centaury, any other star is also possible.

    The star should be relatively close, so that a two way communication
    would be possible within a human lifetime. But otherwise feel free to
    chose any other star.


    Cosmology is not really the topic of SRT, but somehow simple cases like
    two-way communication with distant star systems should be possible
    within that realm.

    Lab-bench sized scenarios are actually also possible, but much less
    intuitive, because if we have delays in the range of nanoseconds. But
    usual humans have much less 'grip' on such time intervals than upon years.

    I am going through your annotated paper. The comment you made about two moving clocks synchronized with the stationary clock seems to be valid.

    "We imagine further that at the two ends A and B of the rod, clocks are
    placed which synchronize with the clocks of the stationary system, that is to say
    that their indications correspond at any instant to the “time of the stationary
    system” at the places where they happen to be. These clocks are therefore “synchronous in the stationary system.”

    Strange that a 100 year old paper is being promoted as truth based on its age.

    This is dementia, Thomas. Einstein wrote about identical clocks

    Physics is about mathematical models that can be confronted to
    experiments. Realistic scenarios that make sense in the context
    of part I.1. are definitely lab-bench sized scenarios, with our
    current technology I would say distances from millimeters up
    to a few kilometers.

    In another of your silly posts you re-iterate the same misunderstanding
    (at this point, given that it has been noticed to your, I would
    say a "blatant lie") again:

    The question of delay was not really covered by Einstein.
    Only once 'x/c' occurs in an equation and never the word 'delay'.

    I've shown you, using elementary algebra, that the equations
    in part I.1. in Einstein's article :

    t_B - t_A = t'_A - t_B
    2AB/(t'_A - t_A) = c

    imply:

    t_B = t_A + (AB)/c

    In a context where two clocks are mutually at rest at position A
    and B, t_A is the time displayed by the clock at A when a light
    signal is sent from there towards B, t_B is the time displayed
    by the clock at B when the signal arrives. The equation above
    *means exactly* : t_B = t_A + DELAY.

    So this OBVIOUS mistake in your "comments" is fully debunked.

    But stupidity, stubbornness and lack of integrity prevent you
    to admit it.

    Richard, the question at stake in this thread is not your own

    For some reason Thomas pretends that what Einstein did in this

    that, even as stupid as you are, you would support this claim,
    do you?

    Yes.

    Are you pretending that t_B - t_A = t'_A - t_B and 2AB/(t'_A - t_A) = c
    does not imply t_B = t_A + (AB)/c ? This is elementary algebra Richard.

    By the way, Einstein is presenting a synchronization procedure that is equivalent to the one Poincaré described before. So you cannot praise Poincaré's work and deny the validity of this procedure. Moreover, under
    the assumption 2AB/(t'_A - t_A) = c (i.e. round-trip speed of light is invariant), it can be *mathematically* proven that the procedure is
    consistent.

    As you've been told for ages in fr.sci. picking another convention than
    t_B - t_A = t'_A - t_B wouldn't change *anything* of the prediction
    of the theory, contrary to your unfounded beliefs, it would only make everything atrociously complicated (even Newton's first law would be

    Richard, the question at stake in this thread is not your own
    personal idiotic views but about what Einstein actually wrote
    and what it implies.

    For some reason Thomas pretends that what Einstein did in this
    article is following your idea of "direct live", I don't think
    that, even as stupid as you are, you would support this claim,
    do you?

    t_B - t_A = 2AB/c

    t'_A-t_B = 0


    2AB/(t'_A - t_A) = c

    Yes.


    imply:

    t_B = t_A + (AB)/c

    No.

    Try again.

    Are you pretending that t_B - t_A = t'_A - t_B and 2AB/(t'_A - t_A) = c
    does not imply t_B = t_A + (AB)/c ? This is elementary algebra Richard.

    By the way, Einstein is presenting a synchronization procedure that is equivalent to the one Poincaré described before. So you cannot praise Poincaré's work and deny the validity of this procedure. Moreover, under
    the assumption 2AB/(t'_A - t_A) = c (i.e. round-trip speed of light is invariant), it can be *mathematically* proven that the procedure is consistent.

    As you've been told for ages in fr.sci. picking another convention than
    t_B - t_A = t'_A - t_B wouldn't change *anything* of the prediction
    of the theory, contrary to your unfounded beliefs, it would only make everything atrociously complicated (even Newton's first law would be
    violated !)

    You know my position on the universal direct-live.

    It is tragically simple.

    When I look at the sky, I observe all things directly.

    Without this "strange abstraction" of which men are convinced and which
    wants us to observe things that do not exist (or no longer exist), because small photons, with muscular feet, and despite their extraordinary speed (3.10^8m/ s anyway), bring them the divine message with much delay.

    When a child looks at the sky and observes Jupiter, for example, or
    Sirius, he does not have the impression of observing something that does
    not exist.

    He seems to see things simply and as they are.

    Who does the most complicated?

    Haven't physicists created a fog where they are stuck (science seems to
    not move very fast anymore) with misunderstood, false and abstract
    doctrines?

    You should ask Alain Aspect if he can carry out an experiment with
    polarized lenses. There must be something to point out.

    Many have answered me for decades that we weave in circles, because 2AB=(Ta'-Ta).c

    But how to show, precisely that the outward journey is at 0.5c, and the direct-live return?

    It would be necessary to show by means of polarized glasses that the
    receiver KNOWS direct-live that it will tear off a photon from the source
    which will pass in the same direct, through the polarized circle.

    I think Alain Aspect has the means to do it. Show that this is what is happening.

    Anyway, it can only be like that.

    Hence the mastery I have when I speak of Langevin's traveler, while the
    whole scientific community is going mad against me, but will never admit
    it.

    I repeat, the problem is human and dramatic.

    And yet, it is the small child who is right against the great pundit of physics.

    A child will never wonder whether what he sees is not real and instantly visible.

    And he is right.

    We will say: "Hachel does not know that the speed of light is c".

    It goes without saying that such imbecility is worth its weight in
    peanuts.

    It's all the same propagating ideas of a rare violence: as if, poor morons
    that they are, I didn't know what the speed of light was.

    All the same, they have to be well-brained to make stupid remarks to me.

    They do not see that it is them, the poor idiots, who are ridiculous.

    The motion of the Sun and the galaxy are accepted as motion relative to the centre of the Galaxy, periodically varies with orbits, does this affect GPS?

    Einstein had actually written that equation on page 3.

    With some simple algebra we get

    t_B = (t'_A - t_A)/2

    Now, this means:

    the signal arrives at point B in the middle between start of the signal
    at time t_A and return of that signal (after reflection) at time t'_A.

    Now 't_B' is measured in 'A-time', which is the local time-measure of
    point A and not with 'B-time' of location B.

    Also important: A and B cannot move in respect to each other, because
    otherwise the equation is not valid.

    Now Einstein wrote:

    "In accordance with definition the two clocks synchronize if t_B - t_A =
    t'_A - t_B ..."

    What is nonsense, because no clock at B is required to measure t_A or t'_A.

    IoW: t_B is not measured in B, but not at all, because only t_A and t'_A
    are commonly avalable (at A).

    But we are generous and allow clock synchronization by comparison of
    clocks at B with that signal, anyhow.

    Now this synch-signal should contain t_B in encoded form, because
    otherwise no comparison is possible.

    The timing signal sent from A to B should therefore contain a usuable
    timevalue t_B, which observers at B could eventually compare to their
    own clocks.

    To figure out the estimated time of arrival at B the emitter at A needs
    to know the delay and needs to add that to the local time in A, once the
    signal ist sent.


    BUT: where did you find any hints about this procedure in Einstein's text?

    (which contains about 428 annotations) would be all, totally, 100% wrong. >>>
    The error I've pointed out is part of these annotations, there for
    instance:

    "It is actually difficult to find out, whether Einstein wanted to add
    the delay or not, because no statement about that can be found in
    this text.

    But it would have been better to add the delay, anyhow, because that
    would solve this problem."

    Your claim was, that all of my annotations contain errors.

    I gave you the opportiniity to prove this by a single example.


    I am going through your annotated paper. The comment you made about two moving clocks synchronized with the stationary clock seems to be valid.


    Well, I did my best to avoid own errors. But unfortunately this isn't easy.


    "We imagine further that at the two ends A and B of the rod, clocks are placed which synchronize with the clocks of the stationary system, that is to say
    that their indications correspond at any instant to the “time of the stationary
    system” at the places where they happen to be. These clocks are therefore “synchronous in the stationary system.”


    My comments were:

    "These two clocks, moving together at the ends of a rod, should be
    synchronized with each other, because they are mechanically coupled. On
    the other hand, the ‘stationary' clock could be regarded as moving (in respect to the rod). Therefore, the two clocks at the rod would disagree
    about the synchronization with it, because the signal's path is shorter
    towards the clock, which is closer to the ‘stationary' clock. And
    because the actual reading was taken for time at the remote location,
    the observer in front of the rod reads a time a little earlier. If that
    clock is set to the time seen at the 'stationary' clock, both clocks at
    the rod would then be tuned to different times and get out of synch."


    "This dependency came from an error of Einstein. He did not add the
    run-time of the signal to the reading of a remote clock. But the
    run-time had to be added, because the signal reaches the observer with a
    little delay. This is caused by the transit delay and not because the
    remote clock is late."


    "A moving clock is not rest at in the stationary system K, but at a
    certain position in the moving system k. At that point in k an observer stationary in k would move together with the clocks there. Because
    relative motion is a mutual relation, the time of the moving system k
    does not depend on the clocks of the 'stationary system' K, because seen
    from the moving system k, the own clocks are stationary."


    Strange that a 100 year old paper is being promoted as truth based on its age.

    It's actually a little more than 117 years old.

    Is also a very famous and important paper.

    But for unknown reasons it is apparently illegal to critzise this
    particular paper. At least almost no professional pyhsicist ever dared
    to do that.

    Posting in French in an English-speaking group is abuse, and
    (worse) a complete lack of respect for people.
    Je ne suis pas sûr que Poicaré ait réellement voulu imposer la synchronisation d'Einstein.

    Mais on dit " Einstein-Poicaré synchronization procedure".
    Par contre c'est Poicaré qui a donné les transformations mathématiques relativistes correctes.
    If you don't know, learn, instead of spouting nonsense:


    Oh, stinker Python is opening its muzzle again,
    and trying again to pretend he knows something.
    Tell me, poor stinker, how are the velocities

    center of Earth?

    Are you assuming the Moon is at a fixed distance (not displacement) from the Earth and that this does not matter for the experiment?

    Clock Synchronization is really easy as long as you don't use it as a trick to say you don't know when it happened.

    "Synchronization involved sending out a signal to clocks around the country simultaneously, at exactly the top of the hour. The Western Union Telegraph system had already established a network of wires interconnecting businesses, railroads, etc. for
    communication purposes. These same wires were adapted to synchronize clocks at these locations. Within a few minutes of the hour, telegraph activity was ceased and a series of synchronization signals were sent out. Inside the Self Winding Clock Co.
    models, a mechanism connected to an electromagnetic coil would receive this Western Union signal and “pull” the hands to exactly the hour. This method provided the nation with synchronized, precise time for a good part of 60 years!"

    https://www.kensclockclinic.com/docs/model-1900s-white-paper/

    It is also possible, as mentioned in my online course, to synchronize by moving clocks slowly apart.

    Exercise to reader: how fast can this be done for atomic clocks?

    "The first clock to use this new technology, NIST-F1, called a fountain clock, was put into service in 1999 and originally offered a threefold improvement over its predecessor, keeping time to within 1/20,000,000 of a second per year"

    Giving a hint does not mean, that Einstein wrote something wrong.

    But from my own point of view I would like to have a few lines, which
    tell the reader, where in Maxwell's equations these asymmetries occur
    and how that is important.

    What Einstein had written instead did not refer to Maxwell, but to
    'common understanding' (apparently about induction).

    This is not, what I would like to read about this topic.

    Whether or not this is actually the case in real world scenarios, that

    This is just plain false. Modern atomic clocks carried in cars traveling

    Standard atomic clocks carried in GPS satellites gain 38 microseconds

    To Tom Roberts

    In thought experiment, No body's clock would run slower or faster. Physically, three clocks will forever show same
    reading, as UTC.

    In reality, those atomic clock just goes wrong, because of temperature, air pressure, gravity, unstable base, dust inside machine, etc., those clocks could not represent time anymore unless modified.

    Those clock in reality have to be adjusted or synchronized to "Absolute Time."

    please just read last two pages in chapter 5.

    It is sufficient. If it hadn't the paper would not have been published.

    TH

    Il y a bien des millénaires, on enseignait que la terre était plate, et probablement supportée par un énorme éléphant, lui-même monté sur
    une tortue géante.

    Cela semblait une évidence indiscutable.

    1. Si la terre était ronde comme certains le disaient en voyant l'ombre
    de la terre se profiler sur la lune, même au couchant, l'eau des mers tomberaient dans le vide, et il n'y aurait plus d'eau dans les océans.

    2. Si l'éléphant n'existait pas, qu'est-ce qui pourrait soutenir un
    énorme poids comme la terre?

    3. Si la tortue n'existait pas, qu'est ce qui pourrait expliquer les tremblements de terre lorsqu'elle bouge?

    4. Il était aussi évident que si l'on tombait du ciel, on tombait plus
    vite qu'une pierre et qu'on parcourait huit kilomètres en une seule
    seconde (mon grand-père pensait encore comme ça, il n'avait pas vu les figures imposées de parachutistes à la télé)

    5. Il était évident que le temps était absolu, et que si un jumeau nouveau-né partait à 0.8c dans l'espace, il reviendrait âgé de 30 ans pendant que sur la terre, il se passait 30 ans.

    Or, ces questions ne se pose plus.

    Mais d'autres se posent encore.

    Dont l'une qui est la plus immense, et la plus incomprise aujourd'hui,
    d'où toute cette haine, toutes ces gesticulations, toute cette arrogance, toute cette incroyable religiosité.

    Cette question incroyable, cette question gigantesque, d'autant plus
    difficile à admettre qu'elle semble un "a priori terrible", et, aux
    adeptes, une "évidence monstre", c'est :
    "Est-on absolument certain qu'il existe une simultanéité absolue locale
    entre deux observateurs différents?"

    Bref, un rayon lumineux qui va de A à B, puis revient de B à A,
    et qui parcourt donc la même distance va-t-il mettre un temps différent
    pour A dans chaque étape, et un temps différent pour B dans chaque
    étape?

    C'est évident pour un observateur placé loin, et transversalement.

    Bien sûr que oui, le rayon va mettre le même temps. Il se déplacera de
    A à B à la vitesse c, et au retour de B à A à la vitesse c.

    Bien sûr que oui, là encore c'est évident.

    Mais cela, c'est dans l'univers propre de cet observateur placé loin et transversalement.

    Ce n'est PAS l'univers de A, ce n'est PAS l'univers de B.

    Bref, la notion de référentiel inertiel n'est valable, que pour un observateur placé (loin et transversalement) dans une sorte de quatrième dimension spatiale hypothétique et abstraite.

    Elle n'existe pas "en soi".

    Repère inertiel global : je comprends.

    Référentiel inertiel global (en 4D spatio-temporelle) : je ne comprends
    pas.

    Nous sommes tous dans le même repère inertiel quand nous sommes fixes
    entre nous, c'est vrai. C'est une évidence.

    Mais chacun y construit son propre référentiel spatio-temporel.

    Sylvia Else placée sur ce banc, dans cette cour de récréation, et Paul B.Andersen placé sur cet autre banc n'ont pas de "plan du temps présent" absolu entre eux, bien qu'ils en soient intimement convaincus.

    Cette notion, qui colle à l'esprit humain est la plus grande erreur de croyance de l'histoire de l'humanité.

    D'où le fait qu'elle persiste encore aujourd'hui dans toutes les têtes,
    alors que l'a priori de la terre plate ou de la chronotropie absolue par changement de référentiel inertiel a, heureusement, disparu depuis
    longtemps.

    Mais posez cette question va entrainer, aujourd'hui encore, bien des
    problèmes à celui qui la posera.

    He meant the four equations that are usually called "Maxwell's equations". How anything arrives from there was already in books so no point to
    repeat (and a book would not be a brief introduction anyway).

    Maxwell was a historic person, who wrote about electromagnetic fields in
    1873.

    But Maxwell wrote twenty Quaternion equations (not the current four,
    which stem from Heaviside).

    Einstein quoted actually Heinrich Hertz and his adaptation of Maxwell.

    Hertz was a German physicist with enormous reputation, who invented,
    among other things, radio waves.

    So, we have the meant source, which was not the current version of
    Maxwell's equation, but the 'Maxwell-Hertz' equations.

    Unfortunately Hertz was much less known then Maxwell.

    So, a quote from Hertz would be required and some sort of derivation of
    the meant asymmetries.

    de la terre se profiler sur la lune, même au couchant, l'eau des mers tomberaient dans le vide, et il n'y aurait plus d'eau dans les océans.
    2. Si l'éléphant n'existait pas, qu'est-ce qui pourrait soutenir un
    énorme poids comme la terre?
    3. Si la tortue n'existait pas, qu'est ce qui pourrait expliquer les tremblements de terre lorsqu'elle bouge?
    4. Il était aussi évident que si l'on tombait du ciel, on tombait plus
    vite qu'une pierre et qu'on parcourait huit kilomètres en une seule
    seconde (mon grand-père pensait encore comme ça, il n'avait pas vu les figures imposées de parachutistes à la télé)

    5. Il était évident que le temps était absolu, et que si un jumeau nouveau-né partait à 0.8c dans l'espace, il reviendrait âgé de 30 ans pendant que sur la terre, il se passait 30 ans.
    Or, ces questions ne se pose plus.
    Mais d'autres se posent encore.

    Dont l'une qui est la plus immense, et la plus incomprise aujourd'hui,
    d'où toute cette haine, toutes ces gesticulations, toute cette
    arrogance, toute cette incroyable religiosité.
    Cette question incroyable, cette question gigantesque, d'autant plus difficile à admettre qu'elle semble un "a priori terrible", et, aux
    adeptes, une "évidence monstre", c'est :
    "Est-on absolument certain qu'il existe une simultanéité absolue locale entre deux observateurs différents?"

    Bref, un rayon lumineux qui va de A à B, puis revient de B à A, et qui parcourt donc la même distance va-t-il mettre un temps différent pour A dans chaque étape, et un temps différent pour B dans chaque étape?
    C'est évident pour un observateur placé loin, et transversalement.

    Bien sûr que oui, le rayon va mettre le même temps. Il se déplacera de A à B à la vitesse c, et au retour de B à A à la vitesse c.

    Bien sûr que oui, là encore c'est évident.
    Mais cela, c'est dans l'univers propre de cet observateur placé loin et transversalement.

    Ce n'est PAS l'univers de A, ce n'est PAS l'univers de B.

    Bref, la notion de référentiel inertiel n'est valable, que pour un observateur placé (loin et transversalement) dans une sorte de quatrième dimension spatiale hypothétique et abstraite.

    Elle n'existe pas "en soi".
    Repère inertiel global : je comprends.
    Référentiel inertiel global (en 4D spatio-temporelle) : je ne comprends pas.
    Nous sommes tous dans le même repère inertiel quand nous sommes fixes
    entre nous, c'est vrai. C'est une évidence.
    Mais chacun y construit son propre référentiel spatio-temporel.
    Sylvia Else placée sur ce banc, dans cette cour de récréation, et Paul B.Andersen placé sur cet autre banc n'ont pas de "plan du temps présent" absolu entre eux, bien qu'ils en soient intimement convaincus.

    Cette notion, qui colle à l'esprit humain est la plus grande erreur de croyance de l'histoire de l'humanité.
    D'où le fait qu'elle persiste encore aujourd'hui dans toutes les têtes, alors que l'a priori de la terre plate ou de la chronotropie absolue par changement de référentiel inertiel a, heureusement, disparu depuis longtemps.
    Mais posez cette question va entrainer, aujourd'hui encore, bien des problèmes à celui qui la posera.

    Hallo Richard

    ich stimme dir weitgehend zu, denn ich bin auch der Meinung, dass man
    Zeit als lokalen Parameter ansehen muß und es keinen Grund für die
    Annahme einer absoluten quasi externen Zeit gibt.

    Trotzdem würde ich 'zeitgleich' zulassen und zwar so, dass ein
    hypothetisches, unendlich schnelles Signal als Mittel zum
    Synchronisieren von entfernten Uhren benutzt wird.

    With some simple algebra we get

    t_B = (t'_A - t_A)/2

    the signal arrives at point B in the middle between start of the signal

    It is measured at B, then it can be communicated to anyone, including

    Same for communicating t_A and t'_A to B.

    The point is that by knowing all of this, synchronicity of clocks at
    A and B can be checked and they can be drifted if needed.

    For most people this goes without saying. Not for you, your are
    definitely not of the attended public of this paper Thomas.

    After all, it took you months (years?) to recognize that clocks

    Since you brought it up, and since in it is in the paper I am looking at, what is this assyemtry?

    Wait, let me look it up.

    Starting off, I can only say that it is impossible to have assyemtries in 'nature'. It violates
    the principle of realtivity, Galileos and everyone elses.


    What is being said here: the Galilean transformations work out fibe, but applying the Lorentz transformations
    since they are true description of reality, gives rise to an assymetry?


    Here we go:

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Conductor moving in a magnetic field.
    The moving magnet and conductor problem is a famous thought experiment, originating in the 19th century, concerning the intersection of classical electromagnetism and special relativity. In it, the current in a conductor moving with constant velocity, v,
    with respect to a magnet is calculated in the frame of reference of the magnet and in the frame of reference of the conductor. The observable quantity in the experiment, the current, is the same in either case, in accordance with the basic principle of
    relativity, which states: "Only relative motion is observable; there is no absolute standard of rest".[1][better source needed] However, according to Maxwell's equations, the charges in the conductor experience a magnetic force in the frame of the magnet
    and an electric force in the frame of the conductor. The same phenomenon would seem to have two different descriptions depending on the frame of reference of the observer.

    Assuming that the magnet frame and the conductor frame are related by a Galilean transformation, it is straightforward to compute the fields and forces in both frames. This will demonstrate that the induced current is indeed the same in both frames. As a
    byproduct, this argument will also yield a general formula for the electric and magnetic fields in one frame in terms of the fields in another frame.[7]

    In reality, the frames are not related by a Galilean transformation, but by a Lorentz transformation. Nevertheless, it will be a Galilean transformation to a very good approximation, at velocities much less than the speed of light.

    Besides of errors in the description of induction, this part contains
    no reference to Maxwells equations.

    There is no errors in the description of induction. That Maxwell's
    equantions are explicitly mentioned is a sufficient reference to
    Maxwell's equations. At the time they and they were described in
    books.

    I wanted a statement, which equation he had in mind and how
    asymmetries arrive from there.

    He meant the four equations that are usually called "Maxwell's equations". >>> How anything arrives from there was already in books so no point to
    repeat (and a book would not be a brief introduction anyway).
    Maxwell was a historic person, who wrote about electromagnetic fields in
    1873.

    But Maxwell wrote twenty Quaternion equations (not the current four,
    which stem from Heaviside).

    Einstein quoted actually Heinrich Hertz and his adaptation of Maxwell.

    Hertz was a German physicist with enormous reputation, who invented,
    among other things, radio waves.

    So, we have the meant source, which was not the current version of
    Maxwell's equation, but the 'Maxwell-Hertz' equations.

    Unfortunately Hertz was much less known then Maxwell.

    So, a quote from Hertz would be required and some sort of derivation of
    the meant asymmetries.

    No. That's not how it works.

    At least Einstein should have quoted Heinrich Hertz correctly.

    But what Einstein called 'Maxwell-Hertz equations' differed from what
    Hertz had actually written in (at least) two points:

    Hertz used total derivatives and Einstein partial derivatives.

    Hertz used a factor 'A' for 1/c.

    But even this is uncertain, because Einstein didn't tell the reader,
    what exactly he meant with 'Maxwell-Hertz equations'.

    So, I had to guess and assumed, that something Hertz had written was meant.

    As I can read German I could read the origional works of Hertz. This is
    what I did to some extent and found, there were differences.

    It is sufficient. If it hadn't the paper would not have been published.

    I ask Thomas, again, Are you saying that the method given by Einstein is not sufficient to synchronize clocks?

    It is sufficiant under certain conditions:

    the observer and the remote station must not move in respect to each other

    the speed of light is always the same along the path and on both ways.

    Under these conditions Einstein's method could be used, but should be
    enhanced by a compensation of the signal delay.

    Unfortunately, none of these requirements were mentioned by Einstein.


    Possibly he had them in kind and didn't mention them, because he thought
    they were obvious.

    But possibly he didn't want to compensate the delay (which is what I
    actually think).

    If you want to show something in a scientific paper, which is based on equations found in a certain book or paper, you need to quote these
    equations as carteful as possible.

    Not only is a complete and correct reference required, but also a
    complete and correct quote.

    This would not allow anything else then a verbatim copy of the meant
    material, which does not allow any 'corrections' to the copy.

    The change of the types of derivatives, any change of order of the
    terms, the use of equivalent but different variable names and so forth
    is therefore not allowed.

    Therefore, the initial quote should be verbatim. But then the author
    could rearange the terms, rename the variables and cancels things out
    (if possible).

    Einstein used a viual metaphore: you watch a remote clock through a
    large telescope and read a remote clock at a distant position.

    This is, of course, not possible for cosmological distances.

    Therefore another equivalent method could be used:

    a signal is exchanged, which contains an encoded timing message.

    E.g. the current time is sent to the remote location from here to there
    by encoding the current date (26.4.2023) and the current time into a
    certain code, which also contains a certain synch-beep, and sent to the
    remote location.

    This is equivalent to "the remote observer reads a clock here by means
    of his telescope", but is much easier to realize.

    This would produce a certain requirement, which either side need to
    fulfill: you need to know the delay.

    In case of the emitter knows the delay, he could add it to the encoded time.

    In case the receiver knows the delay, he could substract it from the
    received time value.

    But the delay needs to be known.
