• The Miracle of Special Relativity

    From Robert Winn@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 9 11:27:33 2023
    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a clock in
    a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get a
    faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe Einstein
    was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his clock is
    slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on the
    ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for x
    and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate that
    there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    Thank you for your response. Maybe you would like to take a few moments to show what you think I am confused about. Do you agree with Einstein that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane?

    Time dilation is the second item in Einstein-EDoMB-1905 Section §4

    https://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/

    Lorentz Contraction is the first item.

    Time dilation has an equation. Lorentz Contraction does not.

    Moving time = stationary time / gamma

    gamma is a dimensionless number greater than 1.

    So moving time is less than stationary time.

    Moving time is a clock which moves, with speed-v, from x = 0 to some stationary milepost-x where an observer is in possession of a likewise stationary clock. This clock is synchronized with origin clock x = 0. The stationary observer sees moving clock-
    v go by with less face time than his own clock.

    This is time “dilation” in the sense that the moving unit of time, a second, a minute, is expanded in duration, while keeping unit value. Dilation of the unit subtracts from clock face value.

    And then it gets really weird. The guy who has the moving clock considers himself stationary at location [ x′ = 0 ] on the axis X′, the entirety of axis X′ moving with speed-v. When this purportedly moving guy considers himself stationary, the so-
    called stationary clock appears to him to move with negative speed-v, and that clock suffers time dilation just as his own clock once did.

    The clock paradox has been around for 120 years.

    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right
    about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to
    impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a
    very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not
    behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why
    a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the
    scientific community.

    faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on
    the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for
    x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate
    that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right
    about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to
    impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not
    behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why
    a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the
    scientific community.

    Time dilation has an equation. Lorentz Contraction does not.

    Moving time = stationary time / gamma

    gamma is a dimensionless number greater than 1.

    So moving time is less than stationary time.

    Moving time is a clock which moves, with speed-v, from x = 0 to some stationary milepost-x where an observer is in possession of a likewise stationary clock. This clock is synchronized with origin clock x = 0. The stationary observer sees moving clock-
    v go by with less face time than his own clock.

    This is time “dilation” in the sense that the moving unit of time, a second, a minute, is expanded in duration, while keeping unit value. Dilation of the unit subtracts from clock face value.

    And then it gets really weird. The guy who has the moving clock considers himself stationary at location [ x′ = 0 ] on the axis X′, the entirety of axis X′ moving with speed-v. When this purportedly moving guy considers himself stationary, the so-
    called stationary clock appears to him to move with negative speed-v, and that clock suffers time dilation just as his own clock once did.

    The clock paradox has been around for 120 years.
    Yes, I know what scientists think. You seem to understand it better than most scientists, which can be seen from your last statement, "the stationary clock appears to him to move with negative speed -v. This is the part of the Lorentz equation
    interpretation I disagree with and have disagreed with since high school. If the moving clock is slower, then the stationary clock does not appear to move with a negative speed -v. It appears to move with a velocity greater than -v. I explained this
    with the Galilean transformation equations for the slower clock.
    x = x' - m'n' where m' is the velocity of the so-called stationary clock relative to the so-called moving clock. Since the distances do not change from the original Galilean transformation equation
    x' = x-vt, we get x-x'=-m'n', x-x'=vt, so -m'n'=vt, m' = -vt/n', meaning that if n' is less time than t, m' is a faster speed than v. This agrees with reality, since if the pilot of an airplane has a slower clock, as Einstein says he will, he will get a
    faster speed for the airplane. These equations also work if the moving clock is faster than the stationary clock, as we observe with a GPS satellite. Then the satellite clock results in a slower speed for the satellite.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not consider
    is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a clock on
    earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am explaining
    relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations that he
    said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'. But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower clock
    gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His problem
    was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it. The
    Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am explaining
    relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations that he
    said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'. But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower clock
    gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His problem
    was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it. The
    Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.

    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)

    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on
    the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for
    x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate
    that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right
    about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to
    impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not
    behaving in the expected way.

    Sorry, lady, it's a nonsensical propaganda bullshit, developed
    after.

    Einstein provided a solution.

    His mumble was not even consistent. Sometimes it

    Yes, I know all about the Hafele-Keating experiment. If clocks were flown around the earth one way, they were slower than clocks on the ground. If they were flown around the earth the other way, they were faster. That does not matter to the Galilean
    transformation equations. There is no length contraction in the Galilean transformation equations. So we have
    x'=x-vt
    x-x' = vt

    x = x' - m'n' n' is the time of a clock that does not agree with t'=t, but has a different rate, slower or faster. m' is the velocity of frame of reference S relative to frame of reference S' as shown by the time of the clock with time n'.
    x - x' = -m'n'
    -m'n'= vt
    m' = -vt/n'
    If n' is less than t, m' is a faster velocity. If n' is greater than t, m' is a slower velocity. No length contraction, no miracles, just junior high algebra. So this is the way I will continue to work relativity. I am sorry if scientists get upset
    by this, but that is just the way it is.

    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment

    Sylvia.
    Fizeau's experiment was an early version of the Michelson-Morley experiment using water instead of air as the medium of conducting light. Fizeau did not get the result he expected. Instead, a smaller speed than the speed of the water was shown to
    increase the speed of the light. Later experiments with better apparatus showed that the slight increase in speed was because of the size of the pipes used by Fizeau. So according to scientists, the result was essentially the same as the Michelson-
    Morley experiment, which I already explained. Einstein said that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment were explained by two little equations which he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations, x=ct and x'=ct'. As I explained, these
    equations will not work in the Galilean transformation equations because t' is defined to equal t. If there is a slower or faster clock that does not agree with t, the time of the clock that is not moving, then you have to use another set of Galilean
    transformation equations with different variables for time and velocity than in the equations that show x'=x-vt because t' is defined to equal t. So, as I explained, I said that velocity as calculated from the time of the moving clock was m' and the
    time of the moving clock was n'. So then these Galilean transformation equations calculated from the time of the slower clock would be
    x = x' - m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    What these equations mean is that the moving frame of reference is being used as a preferred frame, and the time of the clock in S'(x',y',z',n') is being used in both
    frames of reference. There is a faster clock in S(x,y,z,t), but the time of that clock is shown by the Galilean transformation equations
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    It takes two sets of Galilean transformation equations to show the times of both clocks.
    What scientists do is to say that a second is always the same amount of time, even if the earth rotates a different number of degrees during a second measured by a slower clock. So whatever scientists do with what they call atomic or scientific time is
    going to include a length contraction if they use the Lorentz equations. All of these things proposed by scientists are minor miracles which are measured in nanoseconds and extremely small differences in speed concerning anything that can be measured.
    I just go ahead and use the Galilean transformation equations, which do not incorporate any of these little miracles. That is not to say that miracles do not occur. I just work the math without them because I believe that a pilot of an airplane with a
    slower clock than a clock on the ground will get a faster speed for his airplane than an observer on the ground, or a faster clock in a GPS satellite indicates a slower speed for the satellite than an observer on the ground would get.

    a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on
    the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for
    x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate
    that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right
    about this.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am explaining
    relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations that he
    said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower clock
    gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His problem was
    that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it. The Galilean
    transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment

    Sylvia

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.
    In Fizeau the variable speed is proportional to the the 'extra distance' through
    the water that the light has to travel. In the non moving experiment lightspeed
    in the water is defined by c/n.
    When the water moves relative to the source the lightspeed changes to reflect the increase or decrease in optical density. And so for instance when the water
    moves towards the source this can be modelled mathematically as the refractive index of the refractive index for the 'extra distance' travelled.
    As the light effectively travels through 'more water' to get the same distance from source to detector.
    So for example in a non moving experiment light travels through x distance of water.
    When the water moves, light has to travel through an extra distance y of water. So the change in speed from c/n is +- the refractive index of the refractive index
    of the extra distance of water travelled as defined by
    C+-(V x .67)/n
    Where .67 =1-(1-n)

    This traditional Fresnel equation can also be expressed as c/n+-v{(1-n)+(1-n)^2}

    You may want to have a look at Hafele and Keating, for observations
    on real clocks on real airplanes. (and the explanations thereof)
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the scientific community.
    I see that you have become more cautious about th experimental basis.
    My take on it: It all started with the experiments
    of Weber and Kohlrausch,
    who showed that there must be a fundamental velocity
    hiding in electricity and magnetism. (equal to the velocity of light) Maxwell found a wave equation that incorporated this,
    with the internal velocity indeed being the velocity of light.

    This posed a puzzle: what is this velocity,
    and what is it with respect to?
    In particular, in which frame should Maxwell's equations be valid?

    For 25 years people floundered, without finding the correct solution.
    All partial explanations conflicted with other partial explanations.

    Einstein's revolutionary flash of insight, sometime in spring 1905,
    was that the answer must be:
    Maxwell's equations are valid in every inertial frame!
    (with the same fundamental velocity for all)

    The Einstein 1905 paper on it is best seen as didactics,
    explaining how this at first sight perplexing answer is possible.
    (with profound implications for the nature of space-time)

    This is why that 'obscure patent clerk' had such an immediate impact:
    he explained what 'everybody' knew already,
    from an entirely new viewpoint,
    thereby resolving all problems with electromagnetism at one go. [1]

    Jan

    [1] This is also the reason for the lack of references.
    None were needed, because whatever could have been refered too
    was common knowledge, for the intended readership.
    Yes, I know all about the Hafele-Keating experiment. If clocks were flown around the earth one way, they were slower than clocks on the ground. If they were flown around the earth the other way, they were faster. That does not matter to the Galilean
    transformation equations. There is no length contraction in the Galilean transformation equations. So we have
    x'=x-vt
    x-x' = vt

    x = x' - m'n' n' is the time of a clock that does not agree with t'=t, but has a different rate, slower or faster. m' is the velocity of frame of reference S relative to frame of reference S' as shown by the time of the clock with time n'.
    x - x' = -m'n'
    -m'n'= vt
    m' = -vt/n'
    If n' is less than t, m' is a faster velocity. If n' is greater than t, m' is a slower velocity. No length contraction, no miracles, just junior high algebra. So this is the way I will continue to work relativity. I am sorry if scientists get upset by
    this, but that is just the way it is.

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that
    the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency
    if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases the atoms ‘ticking’.
    The same occurs in Hafael Keating. The eastward travelling plane experiences more force than the westward plane relative to the earths Center. Because it travels at a greater speed relative to the earth Center, than the westward plane.
    Which means the eastward plane (and its caesium atoms) will tick slower
    than the westward plane.
    As observed

    Sylvia.

    Fizeau's experiment was an early version of the Michelson-Morley experiment using water instead of air as the medium of conducting light.

    No, it was not. While both used light fringes to detect changes of
    speeds, there the similarities end. Fizeau measured light speed through
    moving water while MMX was to detect the speed of earth through a
    purported stationary ether.

    Fizeau did not get the result he expected. Instead, a smaller speed than the speed of the water was shown to increase the speed of the light. Later experiments with better apparatus showed that the slight increase in speed was because of the size of
    the pipes used by Fizeau.

    Wrong, there were concerns the pipe diameter affected the light. Later experiments using better equipment CONFIRMED Fizeau's results.

    So according to scientists, the result was essentially the same as the Michelson-Morley experiment,

    Wrong.

    which I already explained. Einstein said that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment were explained by two little equations which he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations, x=ct and x'=ct'.

    No, the Fizeau experiment can be explained by the Lorentzian speed
    combination formula, with the two speeds being v (speed of the water)
    and c/n (speed of light in [stationary] water). It was one of a couple
    of experiments which inspired Einstein to come up with his 1905 paper.

    As I explained, these equations will not work in the Galilean transformation equations because
    they are incorrect for this situation (dealing with speeds close to c,
    in this case c/n). For low speeds the difference between the Lorentzian transformation and the Galilean transformation (simple addition) is too
    small to matter.

    Sylvia.

    Fizeau's experiment was an early version of the Michelson-Morley experiment using water instead of air as the medium of conducting light.
    No, it was not. While both used light fringes to detect changes of
    speeds, there the similarities end. Fizeau measured light speed through
    moving water while MMX was to detect the speed of earth through a
    purported stationary ether.
    Fizeau did not get the result he expected. Instead, a smaller speed than the speed of the water was shown to increase the speed of the light. Later experiments with better apparatus showed that the slight increase in speed was because of the size of
    the pipes used by Fizeau.
    Wrong, there were concerns the pipe diameter affected the light. Later
    experiments using better equipment CONFIRMED Fizeau's results.
    So according to scientists, the result was essentially the same as the Michelson-Morley experiment,
    Wrong.
    which I already explained. Einstein said that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment were explained by two little equations which he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations, x=ct and x'=ct'.
    No, the Fizeau experiment can be explained by the Lorentzian speed
    combination formula, with the two speeds being v (speed of the water)
    and c/n (speed of light in [stationary] water). It was one of a couple
    of experiments which inspired Einstein to come up with his 1905 paper.
    As I explained, these equations will not work in the Galilean transformation equations because
    they are incorrect for this situation (dealing with speeds close to c,
    in this case c/n). For low speeds the difference between the Lorentzian
    transformation and the Galilean transformation (simple addition) is too
    small to matter.

    [snip babble]

    I see that in the couple of years that you've been gone, you haven't
    learned anything.
    Well, nobody ever asked me about the Fizeau experiment before. The only thing I knew about it was its name until this morning.

    So if you knew nothing about it, why did you claim it was an MMX experiment?

    [snip babble]

    As I stated, you have learned nothing.

    Your major mistake is using the Galilean transformation where it doesn't
    apply. With the Lorentzian transformation, both distance and length are affected as seen from the other frame, but by the same amount (gamma),
    so the speeds are the same (after negation). In other words, x/t =
    -x'/t'. Invoking the Galilean transformation, where t'=t, gives the
    wrong answer.

    You may want to have a look at Hafele and Keating, for observations

    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not
    behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why
    a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the scientific community.
    I see that you have become more cautious about th experimental basis.
    My take on it: It all started with the experiments
    of Weber and Kohlrausch,
    who showed that there must be a fundamental velocity
    hiding in electricity and magnetism. (equal to the velocity of light) Maxwell found a wave equation that incorporated this,
    with the internal velocity indeed being the velocity of light.

    This posed a puzzle: what is this velocity,
    and what is it with respect to?
    In particular, in which frame should Maxwell's equations be valid?

    For 25 years people floundered, without finding the correct solution.
    All partial explanations conflicted with other partial explanations.

    Einstein's revolutionary flash of insight, sometime in spring 1905,
    was that the answer must be:
    Maxwell's equations are valid in every inertial frame!
    (with the same fundamental velocity for all)

    The Einstein 1905 paper on it is best seen as didactics,
    explaining how this at first sight perplexing answer is possible.
    (with profound implications for the nature of space-time)

    This is why that 'obscure patent clerk' had such an immediate impact:
    he explained what 'everybody' knew already,
    from an entirely new viewpoint,
    thereby resolving all problems with electromagnetism at one go. [1]

    [1] This is also the reason for the lack of references.

    was common knowledge, for the intended readership.
    Yes, I know all about the Hafele-Keating experiment. If clocks were flown around the earth one way, they were slower than clocks on the ground. If they were flown around the earth the other way, they were faster. That
    does not matter to the Galilean transformation equations.

    I don't want to bother with your fantasies,
    but I hope that it did occur to you
    that the Earth, and the atmosphere with it,
    is rotating?

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that
    the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency
    if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations
    to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases
    the atoms ‘ticking’.

    So clocks at higher altitude in a plane will be subject to
    lower g-force and will tick faster than clocks on the ground, right?

    So why did the east going clock in the plane tick slower than
    the clock on the ground?


    The same occurs in Hafael Keating. The eastward travelling plane experiences more force than the westward plane relative to the earths Center. Because it travels at a greater speed relative to the earth Center, than the westward plane.
    Which means the eastward plane (and its caesium atoms) will tick slower
    than the westward plane.
    As observed

    I see.
    The g-force on east going clocks is higher than the g-force
    on west going clocks, so east going clocks will tick
    slower than west going clocks.

    Is it a personal experience of yours that you are heavier when
    you sit in an east going plane than when you sit in an east going?

    The derivation of 1905 uses a version of the temporal Lorentz Transform. Same thing in today’s textbooks:

    t′ = gamma × ( t – vx / c² )

    Axis X ( unprimed ) is stationary and axis X′ ( frame k of 1905 ) moves with positive speed-v. The stationary observer is at fixed point-x on axis X ( not x = 0 ) whereas the moving clock to be observed ( always at origin [ x′ = 0 ] of axis X′ )
    moves to location-x on axis X according to an equation of motion on axis X:

    x = vt

    Substitute that into the temporal LT:

    t′ = gamma × ( t – v² t / c² )

    t′ = gamma × t × ( 1 – v²/c² )

    t′ = ( gamma × t ) / gamma²

    t′ = t / gamma

    It wouldn’t work with a plus sign. Why do we have minus signs in the Lorentz Transforms ( temporal and spatial ) when speed-v is positive?

    Because you claimed the light slows by going through 'more water' (your term). Increasing the distance obviously means more water traversed.

    Grabbing at fantasy straws still. You snipped the formula I cited. There is *no*
    ‘d’ in that formula. Just v of the water. Notice both Fizeau and SR formulae
    also have v. Notice also that when the water column moves between the
    source and detector although the distance between the source and detector doesn’t change, the distance travelled through the water column does increase.
    But the time taken to to travel this extra distance is not defined by the v
    of the water relative to the source. As I described and re-quoted below.
    In a quote from my last post which you conveniently snipped (notice that contrary to your fantasy, there is no ‘d’ in the formula):

    “When the water moves, light has to travel through an extra distance y of water.
    So the change in speed from c/n is +- the refractive index of the refractive index
    of the extra distance of water travelled as defined by
    C+-(V x .67)/n

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that
    the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency
    if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations
    to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject
    to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases
    the atoms ‘ticking’.
    So clocks at higher altitude in a plane will be subject to
    lower g-force and will tick faster than clocks on the ground, right?


    No I’m suggesting that this horizontal force is not force due to gravity.
    But a seperate force from horizontal acceleration .
    Isn’t the formula for this f=ma?

    So why did the east going clock in the plane tick slower than
    the clock on the ground?

    Im assuming that Hafael Keating observed that the eastward clock ticks slower. That’s my reading of the wiki reference.
    But to answer ‘why’...I assume the speed relative to the ground is the same for both
    planes in the experiment. Let’s call it speed x.
    The earth rotates eastward at 1600k/ hr.
    So the zero point of reference is the earth observer travelling at 1600 k/hr relative
    to the earths Center of mass.
    Then relative to this earth center reference, the eastward plane travels at 1600 +x kilometers per hour. And the westward plane travels at 1600-x kilometers
    per hour.
    The eastward plane therefore experiences greater F than earth observer
    And the westward plane lesser F than the the earth observer.
    And seeing as a classical model uses resonance as the explanation
    for this different ticking rates of the caesium atoms natural resonant frequency.
    Then the westward clock has less F from horizontal
    speed than the earth observer and the westward plane has a greater F than
    the earth observer. Which accounts for the 3 different rates of ticking. (Don’t forget...the earth observers ‘ticking rate’ is in part due to Gravity force
    but also in part due to its rotational/ horizontal speed of 1600k/hr )




    The same occurs in Hafael Keating. The eastward travelling plane experiences
    more force than the westward plane relative to the earths Center. Because it
    travels at a greater speed relative to the earth Center, than the westward plane.
    Which means the eastward plane (and its caesium atoms) will tick slower than the westward plane.
    As observed
    I see.
    The g-force on east going clocks is higher than the g-force
    on west going clocks, so east going clocks will tick
    slower than west going clocks.

    Sort of. But don’t forget the Gravity force pushing you down is a seperate source of
    force from the F force pushing against you as you move horizontally. I’m not sure
    what word you relativists prefer but probably inertia or momentum would
    be appropriate?

    Is it a personal experience of yours that you are heavier when
    you sit in an east going plane than when you sit in an east going?

    Is it your personal experience that you were lighter when you last
    hiked up in the mountains of Norway?

    Here is something you might want to think about. According to modern interpretation of science, Galileo's principle of equivalence no longer applies. If we drop a ball from the ceiling of an airplane that is flying, the ball is falling faster in the
    frame of reference of the airplane than in the frame of reference of the ground because the clock in the airplane is slower.

    You may want to have a look at Hafele and Keating, for observations
    on real clocks on real airplanes. (and the explanations thereof)
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a
    very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why
    a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the scientific community.
    I see that you have become more cautious about th experimental basis.
    My take on it: It all started with the experiments
    of Weber and Kohlrausch,
    who showed that there must be a fundamental velocity
    hiding in electricity and magnetism. (equal to the velocity of light) Maxwell found a wave equation that incorporated this,
    with the internal velocity indeed being the velocity of light.

    This posed a puzzle: what is this velocity,
    and what is it with respect to?
    In particular, in which frame should Maxwell's equations be valid?

    For 25 years people floundered, without finding the correct solution. All partial explanations conflicted with other partial explanations.

    Einstein's revolutionary flash of insight, sometime in spring 1905,
    was that the answer must be:
    Maxwell's equations are valid in every inertial frame!
    (with the same fundamental velocity for all)

    The Einstein 1905 paper on it is best seen as didactics,
    explaining how this at first sight perplexing answer is possible.
    (with profound implications for the nature of space-time)

    This is why that 'obscure patent clerk' had such an immediate impact:
    he explained what 'everybody' knew already,
    from an entirely new viewpoint,
    thereby resolving all problems with electromagnetism at one go. [1]

    [1] This is also the reason for the lack of references.
    None were needed, because whatever could have been refered too
    was common knowledge, for the intended readership.
    Yes, I know all about the Hafele-Keating experiment. If clocks were flown around the earth one way, they were slower than clocks on the ground. If they were flown around the earth the other way, they were faster. That does not matter to the Galilean transformation equations.
    I don't want to bother with your fantasies,
    but I hope that it did occur to you
    that the Earth, and the atmosphere with it,
    is rotating?

    Jan
    You said something about me misunderstanding planes. It is entirely possible. My father was a pilot in World War II. He could probably answer your questions about airplanes better than I could, but he is dead. So exactly what was it that you thought
    I misunderstood?
    I did understand about the rotation of the earth. In fact, rotation of the earth was what directed my attention to the Galilean transformation equations in the first place. Scientists say that a second is a certain number of transitions of a cesium
    atom. But if a cesium atom that is moving relative to earth has more or less transitions than a cesium atom that is not moving relative to earth, such as Hafele and Keating described as finding in their experiment, then you have two different
    definitions for a second during the same number of degrees of rotation of the earth.

    You are grasping at straws.

    You aren’t just grabbing at straws. You are making up the straws.
    Slower with more distance? How so?
    Because you claimed the light slows by going through 'more water' (your
    term). Increasing the distance obviously means more water traversed.

    Grabbing at fantasy straws still. You snipped the formula I cited. There is *no*
    ‘d’ in that formula. Just v of the water.

    My God, are you thick!

    The "d" would be the length of a tube in a trivial experiment which
    would measure the speed of light in a tube of length "d". If more water
    slowed the light, then, trivially, we'd see light going through a tube
    with a small length "d" to be faster than light through a tube with a
    medium length d (because the light has to traverse more water), but it
    would be faster than light with a large value "d", because the latter
    has it traverse even more water.

    Or are you claiming that longer tubes don't have more water to traverse
    while faster ones do? Or something equally idiotic?

    [snip remaining crap]

    No Relativity needed to correctly model Fizeau classically.

    No, classic Fizeau results would be a fringe shift consistent with the

    travels at a greater speed relative to the earth Center, than the westward plane.
    Which means the eastward plane (and its caesium atoms) will tick slower
    than the westward plane.

    Good to see you, Dono. When did I lose out on the utter cretinism prize?
    You are always in the running. Along with Dick Hertz and Pattycakes Dolan.

    You are not only an imbecile, you are a liar as well.
    Well, I don't really think so.
    That you are liar and an imbecile? Well, it is an established fact.
    But, Dono, all you ever do is make accusations. You never really say anything.
    I say that you are an idiot and a liar. This is a fact.
    Yes, you certainly did say that I am an idiot and a liar. It is a fact that you said that. The problem you have is that it does not really mean anything when you say it.

    What's even worse, the breakthrough idea
    that the worth of their collegues could be determined

    They judged each other by reading those publications,
    and understanding them, and by seeing who had something to say.

    And of course they actually met each other, when possible.
    Europe wasn't big, you could easily travel from one capital to another

    I have seen estimates to the effect

    There can have been no more than a few dozen specialised theoretical

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a
    clock in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get
    a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock
    on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances
    for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate
    that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    Sylvia.
    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am explaining
    relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations that
    he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower
    clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His
    problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it.
    The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    You are grasping at straws.

    You aren’t just grabbing at straws. You are making up the straws.
    Slower with more distance? How so?
    Because you claimed the light slows by going through 'more water' (your >> term). Increasing the distance obviously means more water traversed.

    Grabbing at fantasy straws still. You snipped the formula I cited. There is *no*
    ‘d’ in that formula. Just v of the water.
    My God, are you thick!

    The "d" would be the length of a tube in a trivial experiment which
    would measure the speed of light in a tube of length "d". If more water slowed the light, then, trivially, we'd see light going through a tube
    with a small length "d" to be faster than light through a tube with a
    medium length d (because the light has to traverse more water), but it
    would be faster than light with a large value "d", because the latter
    has it traverse even more water.


    Low IQ nonsense as usual from a relativist. Where’s the d in this formula? c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}
    Can’t find it? Oh well. Looks like you’ve been spouting BS again.

    Or are you claiming that longer tubes don't have more water to traverse while faster ones do? Or something equally idiotic?

    No...you are making these ridiculous claims. Not me.
    You still haven’t grasped basic physics. It doesn’t matter how long
    the tube of water is. As long as the water is always at the same v
    in the tube, the light will travel through it at a certain speed
    (ie at a certain refractive index.)
    And that refractive index isn’t n in water but a slightly different
    value of n which takes into account the fact that the moving water
    creates a more optically dense medium in the experiment.
    And classically one way to model this is to make this new
    value of n is by this formula... c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}
    Or if you prefer the Fizeau original formula...that works as well too.
    All I’ve done is explain how the different speeds in moving water
    can be explained classically without having to pull out a nonsense BS Relativistic explanation.

    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)

    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the
    airplane. Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock
    on the ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the
    clock on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same
    distances for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They
    indicate that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am
    explaining relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations
    that he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower
    clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His
    problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it.
    The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment

    Sylvia
    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    You don’t understand basic physics. Fact: A more optically dense medium
    will have a slightly greater refractive index. And if the water moves
    relative to the source..a classical model predicts this extra +-v
    will increase (or decrease)the optical density of the water as it moves relative to the source.
    And Fizeaus original formula ( that SR stole)models this change in density.
    As does my own version: c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}
    Proving the only people who don’t have any idea are the relativist
    fantasists who still think the sun rotates around the earth.

    If you're going to just outright lie, there's not a lot of point to this
    interaction.
    I did not outright lie. The only thing I ever knew about the Fizeau experiment before this morning was its name.
    If you never knew anything about it, why did you lie and say it was a
    version of the MMX?
    Well, I did not lie. What I read said that Michelson and Morley got their idea for their interferometer from Fizeau's experiment.

    As I said, both were interferometers, but that's where the similarities
    end. And you did lie. Fizeau's experiment was not the MMX.

    Well, it seems you are being untruthful. When did I say that Fizeau's experiment was the Michelson-Morley experiment? The Fizeau experiment was in 1851, and the Michelson -Morley experiment was in 1887.

    You said right here, in this thread:
    : Fizeau's experiment was an early version of the Michelson-Morley experiment using water instead of air as the medium of conducting light.
    Do you deny writing that?

    I wrote it. So how is using water and using air for the same kind of experiment the same experiment?

    What language was "Fizeau's experiment was an early version of the
    Michelson-Morley experiment using water instead of air as the medium of >> conducting light." written in? Klingon? What does it mean in English?

    From what I read about Fizeau's experiment, he was measuring the speed of light through moving water with the expectation that the speed of the water would be added to the speed of the light. Michelson and Morley were measuring the speed of light
    through air with the expectation that the speed of the air relative to their interferometer would be added to the speed of light in air that was not moving.
    You can't even get that correct! The MMX was an attempt to measure the earth's speed through the ether!
    In English, water is the name given to H2O. Air is a combination of gases including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. That is what those words mean in English. If you have difficulty understand more words in English, just ask at any time.
    So why did you claim that 'Fizeau's experiment was an early version of
    the Michelson-Morley experiment'?
    Well, as a common person, not a scientist, I just take note of the similarities. The experimenters in both cases believed that there was a medium through which light was conducted. In the case of the Fizeau experiment, the medium was water, in
    Michelson-Morley it was air. In both experiments it was expected that the speed of the medium relative to the measuring device would affect the result obtained for c, the speed of light. In both experiments the result obtained was not the result
    expected. Then there was the fact that Michelson and Morley said that the idea for their interferometer came from Fizeau's experiment. But, as I said, I had no idea of what Fizeau's experiment was until I read something about it yesterday morning.

    Sylvia.
    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am
    explaining relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations
    that he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower
    clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His
    problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it.
    The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that
    the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency
    if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations
    to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject
    to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases
    the atoms ‘ticking’.

    So clocks at higher altitude in a plane will be subject to
    lower g-force and will tick faster than clocks on the ground, right?


    No I’m suggesting that this horizontal force is not force due to gravity. But a seperate force from horizontal acceleration .
    Isn’t the formula for this f=ma?

    I see. The horizontal force driving the plane at constant
    speed through the air will give the plane a constant
    horizontal acceleration. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?


    Im assuming that Hafael Keating observed that the eastward clock ticks slower.
    That’s my reading of the wiki reference.
    But to answer ‘why’...I assume the speed relative to the ground is the same for both
    planes in the experiment. Let’s call it speed x.
    The earth rotates eastward at 1600k/ hr.
    Close enough.

    So the zero point of reference is the earth observer travelling at 1600 k/hr relative
    to the earths Center of mass.
    Then relative to this earth center reference, the eastward plane travels at 1600 +x kilometers per hour. And the westward plane travels at 1600-x kilometers
    per hour.

    A reasonable speed for x is 800 km/h.

    The east going plane travels at 2400 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The ground clock travels at 1600 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The west going plane travels at 800 km/h in the ECI-frame.


    The eastward plane therefore experiences greater F than earth observer
    And the westward plane lesser F than the the earth observer.
    And seeing as a classical model uses resonance as the explanation
    for this different ticking rates of the caesium atoms natural resonant frequency.
    Then the westward clock has less F from horizontal
    speed than the earth observer and the westward plane has a greater F than
    the earth observer. Which accounts for the 3 different rates of ticking. (Don’t forget...the earth observers ‘ticking rate’ is in part due to Gravity force
    but also in part due to its rotational/ horizontal speed of 1600k/hr )

    I see.
    Since the east going clock runs slower than the ground clock,
    and the ground clock runs slower than the west going clock,
    it is obvious that it is the speed in the ECI-frame that is
    the major cause for the different clock rates.

    So we can conclude:
    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the east going
    clock than for the ground clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the east going plane through the air at 800 km/h is higher than
    the force to drive the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h.

    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the ground clock
    than for the west going clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h is higher than the force
    to drive the west going plane through the air at 800 km/h.

    The east going clock is more compressed than the ground clock,
    and will run slower than the ground clock.
    The ground clock is more compressed than the west going clock,
    and will run slower than the west going clock.

    Right?

    But don’t forget the Gravity force pushing you down is a seperate source of force from the F force pushing against you as you move horizontally. I’m not sure
    what word you relativists prefer but probably inertia or momentum would
    be appropriate?

    Air drag.

    BTW, I think you should tell the airlines that when going from New York

    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the
    airplane. Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock

    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the
    clock on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same
    distances for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'

    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n

    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They
    indicate that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    I know in relativity land that you guys think the earth doesn’t rotate. But sorry...it does.
    In which case the eastward plane travels faster relative to the earth Center frame.
    And the westward plane slower
    If you knew any maths...then even if the planes speed was 800k/hr it would still
    be less than the earth observers speed 1600 k/hr speed.
    Which means that the eastward plane travels at a higher speed than the earth observer, and the westward plane at a lower speed than the observer.
    And seeing as f=ma then the force on the westward plane is less than the
    earth observer and the force on the eastward plane is higher.
    Which in turn means that due to f=ma the eastward travelling clock will
    run slower and the westward clock will run faster than the earth observers clock
    Due to mechanical resonance.
    As observed in Hafael,Keating.
    Do the maths Paul.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do
    not consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than
    a clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am
    explaining relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz
    equations that he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the
    slower clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book.
    His problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for
    it. The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    I know of one problem involved. So when do you think a scientist is going to answer the question I asked about Einstein's description of a miracle? My prediction is never.
    Anti-relativists are not scientists. They are
    religious wackos.

    You sure are



    Fizeau expected the result to be c/n /pm v. Instead he got a very different result: c/n /pm v(1-1/n^2).
    The result contradicts Newtonian kinematics and confirms SR. Crank Lou continues to froth at the mouth.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I
    imagined a clock in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the
    pilot would get a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations
    of Special Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the
    airplane. Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock
    on the ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I
    believe Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane
    if his clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of
    the clock on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same
    distances for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be.
    They indicate that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right
    about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to
    impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a
    very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not
    behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why
    a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the

    Answer the question . Did Fizeau discover c/n+v(1-1/n^2) in 1851.
    Or did Einstein, the low IQ plagiarist, steal it from Fizeau and pretend it was

    His problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for
    it. The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    I know of one problem involved. So when do you think a scientist is going to answer the question I asked about Einstein's description of a miracle? My prediction is never.
    Anti-relativists are not scientists. They are
    religious wackos.

    You sure are
    Fizeau expected the result to be c/n /pm v. Instead he got a very different result: c/n /pm v(1-1/n^2).
    The result contradicts Newtonian kinematics and confirms SR. Crank Lou continues to froth at the mouth.
    You pretended c/n+v(1-1/n^2) was discovered by Einstein


    No, I didn't. I simply pointed out the idiocy in the formula that you posted. Repeatedly.
    As predicted, you are now just frothing at the mouth.

    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed
    for the airplane. Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than
    a clock on the ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another,
    which I believe Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the
    airplane if his clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the
    time of the clock on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with
    the same distances for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to
    be. They indicate that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right
    about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to
    impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a
    very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not
    behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why
    a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the
    scientific community.

    Sylvia.
    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of
    today do not consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is
    faster than a clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves.
    I am explaining relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz
    equations that he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of
    the slower clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book.

    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic
    waves. I am explaining relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the
    Lorentz equations that he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for
    time of the slower clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in
    his book. His problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no
    need for it. The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    Anti-relativists are not scientists. They are
    religious wackos.

    You sure are
    Fizeau expected the result to be c/n /pm v. Instead he got a very different result: c/n /pm v(1-1/n^2).
    The result contradicts Newtonian kinematics and confirms SR. Crank Lou continues to froth at the mouth.
    You pretended c/n+v(1-1/n^2) was discovered by Einstein


    No, I didn't. I simply pointed out the idiocy in the formula that you posted. Repeatedly.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving
    clock I imagined a clock in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane,
    the pilot would get a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the
    equations of Special Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster
    speed for the airplane. Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being
    slower than a clock on the ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one
    another, which I believe Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed
    for the airplane if his clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t,
    the time of the clock on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations
    with the same distances for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we
    have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe
    it to be. They indicate that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    Don't you think it would have been noticed long ago if you were right
    about this.

    It's not as if Einstein, as a young patent clerk, had some ability to
    impose his theory on an unwilling world. Experimenters had been taking a
    very close look at reality, and had been finding that it was not
    behaving in the expected way. Einstein provided a solution. That is why
    a young patent clerk was able to get his theory accepted by the
    scientific community.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists

    The "d" would be the length of a tube in a trivial experiment which

    Low IQ nonsense as usual from a relativist. Where’s the d in this formula? c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}
    Can’t find it? Oh well. Looks like you’ve been spouting BS again.

    So you simply can't support your "traverse more water" claim with a

    that your belief simply won't work?

    And that refractive index isn’t n in water but a slightly different
    value of n which takes into account the fact that the moving water
    creates a more optically dense medium in the experiment.

    Where is your evidence for this (now changed) claim? Remember, science
    is built on experimental evidence and scientific observations.

    And classically one way to model this is to make this new
    value of n is by this formula... c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    Now you are making up your own crap formula which conflicts with
    Fizeau's results (as well as SR)?

    Or if you prefer the Fizeau original formula...that works as well too.

    Except that it's different.

    All I’ve done is explain how the different speeds in moving water
    can be explained classically without having to pull out a nonsense BS Relativistic explanation.

    Fizeau is not a thought experiment. Or any version of it.
    But it (light beam from source)does traverse more water!
    Or less depending on the direction of v.
    Why do you think they move the water through the tube?

    And that refractive index isn’t n in water but a slightly different value of n which takes into account the fact that the moving water

    Where is your evidence for this (now changed) claim? Remember, science

    I have no evidence that water moves through the tube in Fizeau to
    change the observed speed of the light in the experiment? Troll.
    Another fact free claim from a relativist.
    Notice that any description of Fizeau (including wiki) specifically
    states that to get the observed effects...one must have water
    move through the column/tube.

    And classically one way to model this is to make this new
    value of n is by this formula... c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}
    Now you are making up your own crap formula which conflicts with

    SR stole Fizeau formula. Albert was a plagiarist.
    And the formula I suggested...gave a prediction consistent
    with the observations. So does Fizeau’s formula.
    But Whats important is that the optical
    density of the water changes. If it moves relative to the source.
    And Fizeau proves this
    .
    And you have no evidence to contradict this fact.

    Or if you prefer the Fizeau original formula...that works as well too.
    Except that it's different.

    Of course it’s a different formula. There are different ways to model
    optical density in moving water. The maths can change...but
    the theory doesn’t.
    What’s important is that Fizeau observations are predicted by classical theory
    as differences in optical densities of moving mediums compared to when
    they don’t move relative to the source.
    As confirmed by Fizeau.

    The earth rotates eastward at 1600k/ hr.

    Close enough.

    So the zero point of reference is the earth observer travelling at 1600 k/hr relative
    to the earths Center of mass.
    Then relative to this earth center reference, the eastward plane travels at >>> 1600 +x kilometers per hour. And the westward plane travels at 1600-x kilometers
    per hour.

    A reasonable speed for x is 800 km/h.

    The east going plane travels at 2400 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The ground clock travels at 1600 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The west going plane travels at 800 km/h in the ECI-frame.

    But don’t forget the Gravity force pushing you down is a seperate source of
    force from the F force pushing against you as you move horizontally. I’m not sure
    what word you relativists prefer but probably inertia or momentum would
    be appropriate?

    Air drag.

    Air Drag!!😂🤣You relativists. Such purveyors of BS.
    Did I mention air drag?
    No.
    You did.

    Indeed.
    The force that is pushing against the two aeroplanes
    as they move horizontally through the air at 800 km/h
    is called "air drag".

    You forgot. The earth rotates.
    I know in relativity land that you guys think the earth doesn’t rotate. But sorry...it does.
    In which case the eastward plane travels faster relative to the earth Center frame.
    And the westward plane slower
    If you knew any maths...then even if the planes speed was 800k/hr it would still
    be less than the earth observers speed 1600 k/hr speed.
    Which means that the eastward plane travels at a higher speed than the earth observer, and the westward plane at a lower speed than the observer.
    And seeing as f=ma then the force on the westward plane is less than the earth observer and the force on the eastward plane is higher.
    Which in turn means that due to f=ma the eastward travelling clock will
    run slower and the westward clock will run faster than the earth observers clock
    Due to mechanical resonance.
    As observed in Hafael,Keating.

    Congratulations.
    You have broken the NG record for most ignorance of elementary physics.
    Well done!

    The derivation of 1905 uses a version of the temporal Lorentz Transform. Same thing in today’s textbooks:

    t′ = gamma × ( t – vx / c² )

    Axis X ( unprimed ) is stationary and axis X′ ( frame k of 1905 ) moves with positive speed-v. The stationary observer is at fixed point-x on axis X ( not x = 0 ) whereas the moving clock to be observed ( always at origin [ x′ = 0 ] of axis X′ )
    moves to location-x on axis X according to an equation of motion on axis X:

    x = vt

    Substitute that into the temporal LT:

    t′ = gamma × ( t – v² t / c² )

    t′ = gamma × t × ( 1 – v²/c² )

    t′ = ( gamma × t ) / gamma²

    t′ = t / gamma

    It wouldn’t work with a plus sign. Why do we have minus signs in the Lorentz Transforms ( temporal and spatial ) when speed-v is positive?

    No, Paul, No. When we say something is falling, it is going toward the earth from a height. Whether is falls in a straight line or a parabolic one because of forward momentum, its distance from the earth decreases at the same rate. But so that you do
    not get confused again, let's say that we drop it to the ground from the airplane. If the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground, the object will appear to be falling faster when timed by the clock in the airplane than when timed by
    the clock on the ground if the clock in the airplane is slower as Einstein describes.

    Low IQ nonsense as usual from a relativist. Where’s the d in this formula?
    c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}
    Can’t find it? Oh well. Looks like you’ve been spouting BS again.
    So you simply can't support your "traverse more water" claim with a
    simple thought experiment that would support/refute it. Why not admit
    that your belief simply won't work?

    Fizeau is not a thought experiment. Or any version of it.

    Idiot, the thought experiment is water filled tubes with different
    lengths "d", which should (if your claim is correct) slow down light
    more for longer "d" because the light traverses more water!

    But it (light beam from source)does traverse more water!

    Just like in a longer tube! How come we don't measure slower light from
    longer water filled tubes?

    Or less depending on the direction of v.
    Why do you think they move the water through the tube?

    Duh-h-h-h... The speed of light in the water is c/n, relative to the
    water. Relative to the lab, it should be (according to cranks) c/n ±v
    but instead Fizeau measured it as c/n ±v(1-1/n^2). Now you, desperately flailing around, are coming up with bogus excuses like there is more
    water to traverse when the water is moving but not when a water filled
    tube is longer!

    And that refractive index isn’t n in water but a slightly different
    value of n which takes into account the fact that the moving water
    creates a more optically dense medium in the experiment.
    Where is your evidence for this (now changed) claim? Remember, science
    is built on experimental evidence and scientific observations.

    I have no evidence that water moves through the tube in Fizeau to
    change the observed speed of the light in the experiment? Troll.

    You have no evidence the index of refraction in water is changed by
    motion. It is a desperate flailing to try to come up with some other explanation than one of the first glimmers of SR.

    Another fact free claim from a relativist.

    The fact free claim is that the index of refraction changes due to
    motion. Remember, evidence is king in physics. Got any?

    Notice that any description of Fizeau (including wiki) specifically
    states that to get the observed effects...one must have water
    move through the column/tube.

    Exactly. It was an early demonstration of the SR speed combination formula.

    And classically one way to model this is to make this new
    value of n is by this formula... c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    Now you are making up your own crap formula which conflicts with
    Fizeau's results (as well as SR)?

    SR stole Fizeau formula. Albert was a plagiarist.

    Nope. Fizeau's experiment INSPIRED Albert. It was an unsolved mystery
    until SR could explain it.

    And the formula I suggested...gave a prediction consistent
    with the observations. So does Fizeau’s formula.

    So which body orifice did you pull your formula from? Why do you feel it
    is better than Fizeau's formula? Remember, you must provide evidence of
    your claim.

    But Whats important is that the optical
    density of the water changes. If it moves relative to the source.
    And Fizeau proves this

    Fizeau never proved anything about optical density. Neither did you. You
    made the whole thing up, and it is laughable when considered varying
    length tubes of water also provide different amounts of water to traverse.
    .
    And you have no evidence to contradict this fact.

    Your claim is NOT a fact. In fact it is up to you to show water speed
    produces increased density which changes n, or for your alternate
    formula. Remember, science is based on scientific observations and
    experimental data.

    Or if you prefer the Fizeau original formula...that works as well too.
    Except that it's different.

    And not worthless like your bogus formula.

    Of course it’s a different formula. There are different ways to model optical density in moving water. The maths can change...but
    the theory doesn’t.

    What theory? You have provided no evidence of anything!

    What’s important is that Fizeau observations are predicted by classical theory
    as differences in optical densities of moving mediums compared to when
    they don’t move relative to the source.

    Nope. Classical theory predicts c/n ± v. Fizeau's observations
    contradicted classical theory.

    As confirmed by Fizeau.

    Nope. Don't put words in Fizeau's mouth.

    In English, water is the name given to H2O. Air is a combination of gases including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. That is what those words mean in English. If you have difficulty understand more words in English, just ask at any time.

    So why did you claim that 'Fizeau's experiment was an early version of
    the Michelson-Morley experiment'?

    Well, as a common person, not a scientist, I just take note of the similarities. The experimenters in both cases believed that there was a medium through which light was conducted. In the case of the Fizeau experiment, the medium was water, in
    Michelson-Morley it was air. In both experiments it was expected that the speed of the medium relative to the measuring device would affect the result obtained for c, the speed of light. In both experiments the result obtained was not the result
    expected. Then there was the fact that Michelson and Morley said that the idea for their interferometer came from Fizeau's experiment. But, as I said, I had no idea of what Fizeau's experiment was until I read something about it yesterday morning.

    You didn't answer the question why you thought they were the same

    moving water. As long as that water travelled at the same v relative
    to the source. Regardless of distance travelled.
    That’s how refractive index works.


    But it (light beam from source)does traverse more water!

    Just like in a longer tube! How come we don't measure slower light from longer water filled tubes?

    Why should we? Fizeau doesn’t predict it. Nor do I.
    You have misunderstood something.

    Or less depending on the direction of v.
    Why do you think they move the water through the tube?

    Duh-h-h-h... The speed of light in the water is c/n, relative to the
    water. Relative to the lab, it should be (according to cranks) c/n ±v

    Maybe relativistic cranks...but I just finished telling you and showing
    you a formula saying it wasn’t at c/n+-v. Can’t you read?
    And not only that we’ve known it isn’t c/n+-v since 1851.

    but instead Fizeau measured it as c/n ±v(1-1/n^2). Now you, desperately flailing around, are coming up with bogus excuses like there is more
    water to traverse when the water is moving but not when a water filled
    tube is longer!

    Liar. I never said that. You either misunderstood me or made this fantasy
    claim up.


    And that refractive index isn’t n in water but a slightly different >>> value of n which takes into account the fact that the moving water
    creates a more optically dense medium in the experiment.
    Where is your evidence for this (now changed) claim? Remember, science
    is built on experimental evidence and scientific observations.

    I have no evidence that water moves through the tube in Fizeau to
    change the observed speed of the light in the experiment? Troll.

    You have no evidence the index of refraction in water is changed by
    motion. It is a desperate flailing to try to come up with some other explanation than one of the first glimmers of SR.


    I have no evidence!! 😂💩 Nonsense.
    I just cited Fizeau experiment as my evidence. And believe me, if you actually tried reading the various reference on the experiment you would see it
    confirms what I say.
    Which is: That the faster the water moves in the tube. The slower the light speed is observed relative to the source. And that this change in speed
    isnt c/n +-v. I supplied a formula to model this change in speed. Or you
    can refer to Fizeau’s formula. Either one accurately predicts how much
    light speed slows relative to the source if the water is at v.

    Another fact free claim from a relativist.

    The fact free claim is that the index of refraction changes due to
    motion. Remember, evidence is king in physics. Got any?


    Yes. Fizeau. Notice it observed that the speed of light slows down in water
    if the water moves in the tube. And the reason is that the optical
    density of the water increases relative to the source if the water is at v.
    As observed.
    Any evidence that there is no change in light-speed relative to
    the source in Fizeau when the water is at v?
    No.
    Thought not.

    Notice that any description of Fizeau (including wiki) specifically
    states that to get the observed effects...one must have water
    move through the column/tube.

    Exactly. It was an early demonstration of the SR speed combination formula.

    Theoretically. But a classical explanation doesn’t rely on magic.
    And works just as well. Seeing as both Fizeau’s and my formula
    can accurately predict this classical effect.
    Also...you forgot...the formula SR uses...is stolen from classical theory
    As per usual for relativists.

    And classically one way to model this is to make this new
    value of n is by this formula... c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    Now you are making up your own crap formula which conflicts with
    Fizeau's results (as well as SR)?

    SR stole Fizeau formula. Albert was a plagiarist.

    Nope. Fizeau's experiment INSPIRED Albert. It was an unsolved mystery
    until SR could explain it.

    And the formula I suggested...gave a prediction consistent
    with the observations. So does Fizeau’s formula.

    So which body orifice did you pull your formula from? Why do you feel it
    is better than Fizeau's formula? Remember, you must provide evidence of
    your claim.

    I didn’t say it was better. I said both worked as well. And proved that
    the optical density of the moving water relative to the source increases
    or decreases with+-v. A purely classical phenomena.
    No Relativity needed.

    But Whats important is that the optical
    density of the water changes. If it moves relative to the source.
    And Fizeau proves this

    Fizeau never proved anything about optical density. Neither did you. You made the whole thing up, and it is laughable when considered varying
    length tubes of water also provide different amounts of water to traverse.


    If you think I’m wrong..prove that Fizeau does not observe any change in lightspeed in water relative to the source. Even when the water moves
    at v in the tube.
    You can’t.


    And you have no evidence to contradict this fact.

    Your claim is NOT a fact. In fact it is up to you to show water speed produces increased density which changes n, or for your alternate
    formula. Remember, science is based on scientific observations and experimental data.


    I did prove it. My evidence is ...the Fizeau experiment.

    Or if you prefer the Fizeau original formula...that works as well too. >> Except that it's different.

    And not worthless like your bogus formula.

    My formula predicts as well as Fizeau’s. But that’s irrelevent
    because Fizeau’s formula also correctly predicts the optical density
    changes when water is at v.


    Of course it’s a different formula. There are different ways to model optical density in moving water. The maths can change...but
    the theory doesn’t.

    What theory? You have provided no evidence of anything!

    Only if you ignore Fizeau.

    What’s important is that Fizeau observations are predicted by classical theory
    as differences in optical densities of moving mediums compared to when they don’t move relative to the source.

    Nope. Classical theory predicts c/n ± v. Fizeau's observations
    contradicted classical theory.

    No. Classical theory predicts light speed changes in water if the water
    moves in the tube at v. And succesfully predicted for classical theory
    by Fizeau : c/n+-v(1-(1/n^2))
    Or by my formula: c/n+-v[{(n-1)+(n-1)}^2]

    As confirmed by Fizeau.

    Nope. Don't put words in Fizeau's mouth.

    I didn’t. I only quoted his experiment where he not only measures
    the change in lightspeed ,...he correctly models it with the classical
    formula c/n+-v(1-(1/n^2))

    No, Paul, No. When we say something is falling, it is going toward the earth from a height. Whether is falls in a straight line or a parabolic one because of forward momentum, its distance from the earth decreases at the same rate. But so that you
    do not get confused again, let's say that we drop it to the ground from the airplane. If the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground, the object will appear to be falling faster when timed by the clock in the airplane than when timed
    by the clock on the ground if the clock in the airplane is slower as Einstein describes.

    Let's use your original description.

    The ball is falling from the ceiling of an airplane, and will
    fall a distance h and hit the floor in the airplane.

    _____________________________________________________________________

    In the airplane's rest frame we have:
    ---------------------------------------
    The ball will fall along a straight vertical line, and
    will hit the floor with the vertical velocity u_v = √(2gh).

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u = √(2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the airplane's
    rest frame. _______________________________________________________________________

    In the ground frame, we have:
    -------------------------------
    The ball will have a constant horizontal speed v,
    and the vertical speed when it hits the floor is u_v = √(2gh)

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u' = √(v²+2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the ground frame. __________________________________________________________________________

    If use the values
    g = 9.8 m/s², v = 230 m/s (828.00 km/h), h = 2.5 m, we get :

    The speed of the ball when it hits the floor is:
    In the rest frame of the airplane: u = 7 m/s, t = 0.7142 s
    In the ground frame: u= 230.11 m/s = 828.38 km/h, t = 0.7142 s

    This answers are the same for SR and NM.
    (We ignore the curvature of spacetime because
    the height difference is only 2.5 m)

    So the speed is obviously much higher in the ground frame
    than in the airplane's rest frame. But the vertical speed
    component is the same in both frames.

    ----------------

    However, according to SR we will have mutual time dilation.
    Let's see what it is:
    We have two events, E0 = ball dropped, E1 = ball hits floor

    The coordinates of event E0 are:
    Airplane frame: t'₀ = 0, x'₀ = 0
    Ground frame: t₀ = 0, x₀ = 0

    The coordinates of event E1 are:
    Airplane frame: t'₁ = √(2h/g) = 0, x'₁ = 0
    Ground frame: t₁ = √(2h/g) = 0.7142 s ,
    x₁ = v⋅√(2h/g) = 164.29 m

    #1:
    We will now find the rate of a clock in the airplane
    observed in the ground frame:

    We will use the Lorentz transform.
    γ = 1/√(1−v²/c²) = (1+2.9E-13)

    A clock at x'₀ will be adjacent to x₀
    at the time t₀ and it will show t'₀. (trivial, all zero)

    The clock at x'₀ will be adjacent to x₁
    at the time t₁ and it will show:
    t'= γ(t₁-v⋅x₁/c²) = √(2h/g)/γ

    So the rate of the clock at x'₀ is:
    f = t'/t₁ = 1/γ = 1 - 2.9E-13

    So the a clock in the airplane will appear
    to run slow when observed in the ground frame. ____________________________________________________

    #2:
    We will now find the rate of a clock on the ground
    observed in the rest frame of the airplane:

    Since a clock at x₀ in the ground frame must be
    adjacent to two different clocks in the airplane,
    we must imagine a clock at x'₂ = - v⋅√(2h/g)

    A clock at x₀ will be adjacent to x'₀
    at the time t'₀ and it will show t₀. (trivial, all zero)

    The clock at x₀ will be adjacent to x'₂
    at the time t'₁ and it will show:
    t = γ(t'₁+v⋅x'₂/c²) = √(2h/g)/γ

    So the rate of the clock at x'₀ is:
    f = t/t'₁ = 1/γ = 1 - 2.9E-13

    So a clock on the ground will appear
    to run slow when observed in the airplane frame.

    https://paulba.no/
    Well, no, Paul. Einstein says that we have a slower clock in the flying airplane. Hafele and Keating say it might be faster, but it could be slower. So we will go with Einstein's original idea. The clock is slower. If t is the time of a clock on the
    ground, the during a time of t= 1 sec., the earth rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis. Mars rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, Jupiter rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, etc., etc. The clock in the airplane shows
    less time than a second when the clock on the ground shows a second and the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc., are all rotating these varying number of degrees. So what you are telling me now is that if a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane, the clock
    on the ground shows less time than the clock on the airplane. What do the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. do? Do they all rotate backward to agree with the clock on the ground every time a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane? Now scientists have
    two miracles. I am not opposed to scientists having miracles, but you have to understand that we common people are required to live in something called reality where the planets would just go on rotating the same way they were before the scientist
    looked at the clock in the airplane. Or maybe scientists are trying to say that the planets would go on rotating the way they did before, but the clock on the ground would rotate backward to agree with the equations scientists use. It would still just
    be another miracle. I have to agree with Galileo and Isaac Newton that if the clock in the airplane was slower, as seen from the airplane, the clock on the ground would be faster. I think scientists are either using the wrong equations for their
    calculations of electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves, or else they are misinterpreting the equations they have.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a
    clock in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get
    a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock
    on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances
    for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate
    that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    Sylvia.
    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am explaining
    relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations that
    he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower
    clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His
    problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it.
    The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    You don’t understand basic physics. Fact: A more optically dense medium will have a slightly greater refractive index.

    Is today "make up a fact day" or something?

    Perhaps it does, do you have a reference for index of refraction vs.
    density?

    And if the water moves
    relative to the source..a classical model predicts this extra +-v
    will increase (or decrease)the optical density of the water as it moves relative to the source.

    Again, your data?

    And Fizeaus original formula ( that SR stole)

    No, Fizeau's experiment helped inspire Einstein.

    models this change in density.

    How could it, without any data?

    And even if it did, classical physics would ADD the v component to the
    alleged density contribution.

    As does my own version: c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    It is make up a fact day!

    Proving

    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his

    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on the
    ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for x
    and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have

    Yes, relativity does not describe physical reality. Einstein was very confused. I don't know why you can't "learn" (be indoctrinated = believe in fairy tales). It's been noticed all along by many excellent scientists who have shown that relativity is a
    joke/swindle (e.g. Essen). It is amusing that they can accept "really weird" "science." Einstein had much funding behind him. I wonder what speed the satellite is really moving. People who pretend to do miracles are wizards, not scientists. Science has
    no need for "miracles" (relativity).

    Well, I have always wondered about this. I read Einstein's book, and he gave a fairly good explanation of the Galilean transformation equations, which were used to describe relativity before 1887. Then he said, the Galilean transformation equations
    cannot describe the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment. It appeared to me that they could. What you have to do is believe what the equations say and follow the axioms of algebra. If there is an equation that says t'=t, then t' cannot be used
    to represent the time of a clock that is slower than a clock that shows t. You have to use an entirely different set of Galilean transformation equations with different variables for time and velocity than v, t, and t' in the equations, x' = x - vt. and
    t'=t, the same way you would use two different sets of Galilean transformation equations for time based on the rotation of earth and time based on the rotation of Mars. You may get a close approximation doing what Lorentz and Einstein did, but, why do
    it that way?
    But, then too, why call what these guys are doing relativity? If their equations have something to do with electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic waves, call it that, but Galileo's equations are the ones that work for relativity.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am
    explaining relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations
    that he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower
    clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His

    The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    You don’t understand basic physics. Fact: A more optically dense medium will have a slightly greater refractive index.

    Is today "make up a fact day" or something?

    Look up optical density vs refraction and you get many quotes like
    the following: “ The refractive index of the material is an indicator
    of its optical density.”

    Perhaps it does, do you have a reference for index of refraction vs. density?

    I’m not trying to write a textbook on refraction and optical
    density. All I’m doing is pointing out that in the Fizeau experiment
    when the water flows at v in the tube, the lightspeed of the beam
    travelling the distance between source and interference detector is
    slower than when the water doesn’t flow.
    Obviously c/n of water no longer applies. This slowing down of
    lightspeed in moving water is best described classically as the optical
    density and thus refractive index of light in the moving water increases.
    As modelled by Fizeau’s or my formula.
    If you have any proof that there is no relationship between optical density increasing proportional to observed speed of light in a transparent medium. Please supply your evidence.
    But you haven’t. Obviously you haven’t a clue about refraction.


    And if the water moves
    relative to the source..a classical model predicts this extra +-v
    will increase (or decrease)the optical density of the water as it moves relative to the source.

    Again, your data?

    Fizeau experiment. Proof that moving water relative to a source will
    increase the optical density of the medium and slow the speed.
    Any proof that Fizeau doesn’t observe a change in speed in
    the light in moving water?
    No

    And Fizeaus original formula ( that SR stole)

    No, Fizeau's experiment helped inspire Einstein.


    Fizeau’s formula was made in 1851, years before the serial plagiarist
    Albert was born. Relativists, in their infinite lack of wisdom,
    think that Albert thought up Fizeau’s formula.

    models this change in density.

    How could it, without any data?


    If you want to ignore Fizeau’s experimental data showing that
    the optical density of the moving water does slow the light ...then go ahead Nothing new for relativists to ignore data. SR and GR were built on
    the assumption that all observed data must be ignored.

    And even if it did, classical physics would ADD the v component to the alleged density contribution.

    Before1851. But only a desperate relativist would pretend the physics community
    ignored Fizeau’s results after that date.

    As does my own version: c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    It is make up a fact day!


    Says the fact free relativist who can’t prove the formula doesn’t accurately
    model the observations made in Fizeau.
    But if you don’t like my formula ,...use Fizeau’s formula.
    It also correctly predicts that light speed slows relative to an increase in optical
    density of the moving water.

    Proving

    No proofs in physics, only disproofs.

    OK ..disprove my claim that increasing optical density in moving
    water will decrease the observed lightspeed through the water.

    the only people who don’t have any idea are the relativist
    fantasists who still think the sun rotates around the earth.

    Huh? Besides, it is the anti-relativity cranks who are living in the
    past (well over 100 years now), not scientists.

    ‘Relativist’: Another word for a delusional fantasist who cannot
    accept any empirical data.

    The ball is falling from the ceiling of an airplane, and will
    fall a distance h and hit the floor in the airplane.

    _____________________________________________________________________

    In the airplane's rest frame we have:
    ---------------------------------------
    The ball will fall along a straight vertical line, and
    will hit the floor with the vertical velocity u_v = √(2gh).

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u = √(2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the airplane's
    rest frame.
    _______________________________________________________________________ >>
    In the ground frame, we have:
    -------------------------------
    The ball will have a constant horizontal speed v,
    and the vertical speed when it hits the floor is u_v = √(2gh)

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u' = √(v²+2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the ground frame.
    __________________________________________________________________________

    If use the values
    g = 9.8 m/s², v = 230 m/s (828.00 km/h), h = 2.5 m, we get :

    The speed of the ball when it hits the floor is:
    In the rest frame of the airplane: u = 7 m/s, t = 0.7142 s
    In the ground frame: u= 230.11 m/s = 828.38 km/h, t = 0.7142 s

    This answers are the same for SR and NM.
    (We ignore the curvature of spacetime because
    the height difference is only 2.5 m)

    So the speed is obviously much higher in the ground frame
    than in the airplane's rest frame. But the vertical speed
    component is the same in both frames.
    Note:
    The vertical speed component is the same in both frames.

    Original question:
    In which frame is the speed of the ball fastest?

    Second question:
    In which frame is the vertical component of the ball's velocity fastest?
    Well, no, Paul. Einstein says that we have a slower clock in the flying airplane. Hafele and Keating say it might be faster, but it could be slower. So we will go with Einstein's original idea. The clock is slower. If t is the time of a clock on the
    ground, the during a time of t= 1 sec., the earth rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis. Mars rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, Jupiter rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, etc., etc. The clock in the airplane shows
    less time than a second when the clock on the ground shows a second and the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc., are all rotating these varying number of degrees. So what you are telling me now is that if a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane, the clock
    on the ground shows less time than the clock on the airplane. What do the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. do? Do they all rotate backward to agree with the clock on the ground every time a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane? Now scientists have two
    miracles. I am not opposed to scientists having miracles, but you have to understand that we common people are required to live in something called reality where the planets would just go on rotating the same way they were before the scientist looked at
    the clock in the airplane. Or maybe scientists are trying to say that the planets would go on rotating the way they did before, but the clock on the ground would rotate backward to agree with the equations scientists use. It would still just be another
    miracle. I have to agree with Galileo and Isaac Newton that if the clock in the airplane was slower, as seen from the airplane, the clock on the ground would be faster. I think scientists are either using the wrong equations for their calculations of
    electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves, or else they are misinterpreting the equations they have.
    I don't buy it, Robert.
    You are ignorant of physics, but you are nowhere near as stupid
    as the above babble indicates. If you were, you wouldn't be able
    to handle a job like - say welding.

    I think you are talking nonsense to evade addressing the issue.

    So please, answer the questions.

    Hint:
    The ball "is in" both frames of reference of course,
    it is not one ball in each frame. One reality!
    And since the frames are moving relative to each other
    along the horizontal axis, the horizontal component of
    the ball's velocity must be different, while the vertical
    component must be equal in the two frames.

    If you measure the vertical velocity with two clocks with
    different rates, you will get two different results, but
    the vertical speed would still be the same in both frames.

    With other words:
    If the observer in the airplane had a clock which ran
    too slow, the observer in the plane and the observer
    on the ground would disagree about what the speed was,
    but they would agree that the speed was the same in
    the two frames.

    Well, I just look at the equations, Paul. Einstein says that the vertical distance does not change.
    y'=y
    Einstein says that the clock in the airplane is slower than the clock on the ground.
    t'=(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    That was what he said this equation means. Now, as you mention, I am just an uneducated, ignorant common person, but I did serve four years on an aircraft carrier in the Vietnam War working on radar equipment, so I do have some experience with
    electromagnetic waves. The equipment I worked on was from World War II, so it used vacuum tubes instead of the electronics used today. But the electromagnetic theory was the same back then as it is now. I became a welder after I got out of the Navy
    because I liked welding better than working on electronics, and there really was no demand for electronics technicians who had never gone to electronics school and had just worked on vacuum tube radar repeaters that real electronics technicians did not
    want to work on. But I did pick up a little knowledge about electromagnetic waves because that is what radar signals are. I also know that if the engineers who designed the radar equipment used the Lorentz equations in calculating their designs, it
    does not mean the Lorentz equations were exactly right because we electronics technicians had to calibrate the equipment all the time by adjusting variable resistors and variable capacitors when the times and distances did not match up on the radar
    screen, much as scientists do when they adjust a clock in a GPS satellite to match the time of a cesium clock on the surface of the earth. Adjusting a clock to match another clock does not really prove anything except that the two clocks did not agree
    with each other before one was adjusted.
    What I believe is that you are using t'=t with the vertical height in your equations and t'=(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) with the horizontal distance or you have a length contraction in the vertical direction, which would disagree with your equation y'=y.
    This is just a suspicion at this point, but I will go through the equations and give my opinion when I have made a closer examination.
    I am having some difficulty in visualizing your last statement about disagreeing concerning what the speed was, but agreeing that the speed was the same in two frames. That seems to me to be just an illogical statement trying to justify Einstein's
    miracle. But I will try to go through the equations in more detail and get back to you. I am a little busy right now, so it may take some time. Anyway, thank you for your response and the information about how scientists are getting their result.

    When you don't know what the words you use actually mean, you end up
    spewing nonsense like this.

    In physics, speed is ALWAYS relative to a specified coordinate system.
    There are an infinite number of coordinate systems that are valid where
    the jet is located, so it actually has an infinite number of speeds
    relative to different coordinate systems. Not only that, but YOU,
    YOURSELF also have an infinite number of speeds relative to different coordinate systems.

    You REALLY need to learn very basic physics before attempting to write
    about it. All you do is display how stupid and ignorant you are.

    The ball is falling from the ceiling of an airplane, and will
    fall a distance h and hit the floor in the airplane.

    _____________________________________________________________________

    In the airplane's rest frame we have:
    ---------------------------------------
    The ball will fall along a straight vertical line, and
    will hit the floor with the vertical velocity u_v = √(2gh).

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u = √(2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the airplane's
    rest frame.
    _______________________________________________________________________ >>
    In the ground frame, we have:
    -------------------------------
    The ball will have a constant horizontal speed v,
    and the vertical speed when it hits the floor is u_v = √(2gh)

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u' = √(v²+2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the ground frame.
    __________________________________________________________________________

    If use the values
    g = 9.8 m/s², v = 230 m/s (828.00 km/h), h = 2.5 m, we get :

    The speed of the ball when it hits the floor is:
    In the rest frame of the airplane: u = 7 m/s, t = 0.7142 s
    In the ground frame: u= 230.11 m/s = 828.38 km/h, t = 0.7142 s

    This answers are the same for SR and NM.
    (We ignore the curvature of spacetime because
    the height difference is only 2.5 m)

    So the speed is obviously much higher in the ground frame
    than in the airplane's rest frame. But the vertical speed
    component is the same in both frames.
    Note:
    The vertical speed component is the same in both frames.

    Original question:
    In which frame is the speed of the ball fastest?

    Second question:
    In which frame is the vertical component of the ball's velocity fastest?
    Well, no, Paul. Einstein says that we have a slower clock in the flying airplane. Hafele and Keating say it might be faster, but it could be slower. So we will go with Einstein's original idea. The clock is slower. If t is the time of a clock on the
    ground, the during a time of t= 1 sec., the earth rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis. Mars rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, Jupiter rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, etc., etc. The clock in the airplane shows
    less time than a second when the clock on the ground shows a second and the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc., are all rotating these varying number of degrees. So what you are telling me now is that if a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane, the clock
    on the ground shows less time than the clock on the airplane. What do the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. do? Do they all rotate backward to agree with the clock on the ground every time a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane? Now scientists have two
    miracles. I am not opposed to scientists having miracles, but you have to understand that we common people are required to live in something called reality where the planets would just go on rotating the same way they were before the scientist looked at
    the clock in the airplane. Or maybe scientists are trying to say that the planets would go on rotating the way they did before, but the clock on the ground would rotate backward to agree with the equations scientists use. It would still just be another
    miracle. I have to agree with Galileo and Isaac Newton that if the clock in the airplane was slower, as seen from the airplane, the clock on the ground would be faster. I think scientists are either using the wrong equations for their calculations of
    electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves, or else they are misinterpreting the equations they have.
    I don't buy it, Robert.
    You are ignorant of physics, but you are nowhere near as stupid
    as the above babble indicates. If you were, you wouldn't be able
    to handle a job like - say welding.

    I think you are talking nonsense to evade addressing the issue.

    So please, answer the questions.

    Hint:
    The ball "is in" both frames of reference of course,
    it is not one ball in each frame. One reality!
    And since the frames are moving relative to each other
    along the horizontal axis, the horizontal component of
    the ball's velocity must be different, while the vertical
    component must be equal in the two frames.

    If you measure the vertical velocity with two clocks with
    different rates, you will get two different results, but
    the vertical speed would still be the same in both frames.

    With other words:
    If the observer in the airplane had a clock which ran
    too slow, the observer in the plane and the observer
    on the ground would disagree about what the speed was,
    but they would agree that the speed was the same in
    the two frames.

    Speaking of evading the issue, relativity says the jet is flying at two different speeds at once, proving it is self-contradictory nonsense. That is the issue. That disproves relativity.

    So you simply can't support your "traverse more water" claim with a
    simple thought experiment that would support/refute it. Why not admit
    that your belief simply won't work?

    Fizeau is not a thought experiment. Or any version of it.

    Idiot, the thought experiment is water filled tubes with different
    lengths "d", which should (if your claim is correct) slow down light
    more for longer "d" because the light traverses more water!

    You don’t understand refractive index. If the refractive index
    of the medium changes...the speed changes. But distance travelled
    will not affect the refractive index or speed of light in any medium.

    But you claimed before that the amount of water traversed affected the
    index of refraction. (of course you changed that once I pointed that out
    to you)

    Or less depending on the direction of v.
    Why do you think they move the water through the tube?

    Duh-h-h-h... The speed of light in the water is c/n, relative to the
    water. Relative to the lab, it should be (according to cranks) c/n ±v

    Maybe relativistic cranks...

    Nope. Relativity predicts a formula close to what Fizeau actually found.
    It was Fizeau who predicted (but did not measure) the classical c/n ± v
    speed.

    but I just finished telling you and showing
    you a formula saying it wasn’t at c/n+-v. Can’t you read?
    And not only that we’ve known it isn’t c/n+-v since 1851.

    Correct. Fizeau stumbled across the relativistic speed combination
    formula which was close to Fizeau's result of c/n ± v(1-1/n²).

    but instead Fizeau measured it as c/n ±v(1-1/n^2). Now you, desperately
    flailing around, are coming up with bogus excuses like there is more
    water to traverse when the water is moving but not when a water filled
    tube is longer!

    Liar. I never said that.

    You did, but changed it later once I pointed out the effects of tubes
    with different length "d".

    And that refractive index isn’t n in water but a slightly different >>>>> value of n which takes into account the fact that the moving water
    creates a more optically dense medium in the experiment.
    Where is your evidence for this (now changed) claim? Remember, science >>>> is built on experimental evidence and scientific observations.

    I have no evidence that water moves through the tube in Fizeau to
    change the observed speed of the light in the experiment? Troll.

    You have no evidence the index of refraction in water is changed by
    motion. It is a desperate flailing to try to come up with some other
    explanation than one of the first glimmers of SR.


    I have no evidence!! 😂💩 Nonsense.

    Yes, your claims are all nonsense.

    I just cited Fizeau experiment as my evidence.

    Assuming your conclusion. Logical fallacy.

    And believe me, if you actually
    tried reading the various reference on the experiment you would see it confirms what I say.
    Which is: That the faster the water moves in the tube. The slower the light speed is observed relative to the source.

    Your evidence of this?

    And that this change in speed
    isnt c/n +-v.

    Evidence?

    I supplied a formula to model this change in speed.

    A "model" based on zero evidence? Why would anyone care about THAT?

    Or you
    can refer to Fizeau’s formula.

    Which is not the same as yours. Which one do you believe is correct?
    (hint: it can't be both).

    Either one accurately predicts how much
    light speed slows relative to the source if the water is at v.

    No, both cannot be the correct formula. And you cannot use Fizeau's
    formula as proof of varying indexes of refraction without the logical
    fallacy of assuming your conclusion.

    Another fact free claim from a relativist.

    The fact free claim is that the index of refraction changes due to
    motion. Remember, evidence is king in physics. Got any?


    Yes. Fizeau.

    Bzzzzt. Assuming the conclusion.

    Notice it observed that the speed of light slows down in water
    if the water moves in the tube.

    But you have no evidence of that.

    And the reason is that the optical
    density of the water increases relative to the source if the water is at v.

    Assertions are not evidence.

    As observed.

    You have a table of indexes of water vs. speed? Why not show it!

    Any evidence that there is no change in light-speed relative to
    the source in Fizeau when the water is at v?
    No.
    Thought not.

    Again, your wacky claim, you provide your evidence.

    Notice that any description of Fizeau (including wiki) specifically
    states that to get the observed effects...one must have water
    move through the column/tube.

    Exactly. It was an early demonstration of the SR speed combination formula. >>>
    Theoretically. But a classical explanation doesn’t rely on magic.
    And works just as well.

    Nope. Fizeau didn't get his expected classical c/n ± v.

    Seeing as both Fizeau’s and my formula
    can accurately predict this classical effect.

    Neither got the classical c/n ± v.

    Also...you forgot...the formula SR uses...is stolen from classical theory

    How?

    As per usual for relativists.

    And classically one way to model this is to make this new
    value of n is by this formula... c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    Now you are making up your own crap formula which conflicts with
    Fizeau's results (as well as SR)?

    SR stole Fizeau formula. Albert was a plagiarist.

    Nope. Fizeau's experiment INSPIRED Albert. It was an unsolved mystery
    until SR could explain it.

    And the formula I suggested...gave a prediction consistent
    with the observations. So does Fizeau’s formula.

    Fizeau's equation was DERIVED from his results. Your formula is, well,
    you know...

    So which body orifice did you pull your formula from? Why do you feel it
    is better than Fizeau's formula? Remember, you must provide evidence of
    your claim.

    I didn’t say it was better. I said both worked as well.

    How could it "work as well"? Why even bother with it?

    And proved that
    the optical density of the moving water relative to the source increases
    or decreases with+-v. A purely classical phenomena.

    No, you need to show measurements of n vs. speed of water, and reference
    the experimental data and its author in any such beliefs. Instead, you
    just made it up.

    If you think I’m wrong..prove that Fizeau does not observe any change in lightspeed in water relative to the source. Even when the water moves
    at v in the tube.
    You can’t.

    Of course. Fizeau knew the speed of light in water was c/n. Which is why
    he expected the classical c/n ± v.


    And you have no evidence to contradict this fact.

    Your claim is NOT a fact. In fact it is up to you to show water speed
    produces increased density which changes n, or for your alternate
    formula. Remember, science is based on scientific observations and
    experimental data.


    I did prove it. My evidence is ...the Fizeau experiment.

    Assuming your conclusion.


    Or if you prefer the Fizeau original formula...that works as well too. >>>> Except that it's different.

    And not worthless like your bogus formula.

    My formula predicts as well as Fizeau’s.

    How can different formulas work equally as well?

    But that’s irrelevent
    because Fizeau’s formula also correctly predicts the optical density changes when water is at v.

    How could it if you don't even know what the change is at a given
    velocity v?

    Of course it’s a different formula. There are different ways to model
    optical density in moving water. The maths can change...but
    the theory doesn’t.

    What theory? You have provided no evidence of anything!

    Only if you ignore Fizeau.

    Assuming the conclusion is no basis for any theory.

    What’s important is that Fizeau observations are predicted by classical theory
    as differences in optical densities of moving mediums compared to when
    they don’t move relative to the source.

    Nope. Classical theory predicts c/n ± v. Fizeau's observations
    contradicted classical theory.

    No. Classical theory predicts light speed changes in water if the water
    moves in the tube at v. And succesfully predicted for classical theory
    by Fizeau : c/n+-v(1-(1/n^2))

    How could it if you don't even know how n changes with v (if it does)?

    As confirmed by Fizeau.

    Nope. Don't put words in Fizeau's mouth.

    I didn’t. I only quoted his experiment where he not only measures
    the change in lightspeed ,...he correctly models it with the classical formula c/n+-v(1-(1/n^2))

    That's not the classical formula. c/n ± v is.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a
    clock in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get
    a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the
    airplane. Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock
    on the ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the
    clock on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same
    distances for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They
    indicate that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    Well, I know all about that Sylvia. Scientists before 1887 used the Galilean transformation equations. Isaac Newton used absolute time, which shows that all clocks working correctly would agree with each other. What scientists of today do not
    consider is that both Galileo and Newton were good enough at following the axioms of algebra that if they had been told, Experiment has shown that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving, or A clock in a GPS satellite is faster than a
    clock on earth because of the effects of gravitation, they could have worked the problem. All they had to do was keep the velocities straight, something scientists of today do not do because they use speed instead of velocity.
    I am not an experimenter or a scientist. I am a welder with a high school education, but I can follow the axioms of algebra well enough to work the problem of relativity. As I said before, I am not explaining electromagnetic waves. I am
    explaining relativity.
    If you want to discuss the Michelson-Morley experiment we can do that. I can explain that experiment using the Galilean transformation equations I showed here. Einstein used two little equations he said he extracted from the Lorentz equations
    that he said explained the Michelson-Morley experiment.
    x = ct
    x' = ct'
    These two equations will not work with the Galilean transformation equations because t'=t. So we say that the time of the slower clock is n'.
    x'=x-vt
    cn' = ct - vt
    n' = t - vt/c
    n' = t - vct/c^2
    which is obviously where Lorentz got the numerator for his equation for t'.
    But, as I said, I have not believed scientists since I figured the problem in high school and saw that a slower clock would result in a faster velocity as computed from the time of the slower clock. Anyway, this equation for time of the slower
    clock gives the same speed for something moving to several decimal places until you get to very fast velocities. But this interpretation of the Galilean transformation equations seems to me to be what Einstein was trying to explain in his book. His
    problem was that he was using the Lorentz equations, which show the same speed from either frame of reference, which obviously does not agree with reality. But if scientists want to have a miracle, I really have no objection. I just see no need for it.
    The Galilean transformation equations agree with reality if a moving clock is faster or slower.
    How do you explain the result of the Fizeau experiment, which was
    performed half a century before Einstein proposed his theory?

    No need for relativity. A classical model does just fine.

    No, it doesn't. You simply don't know the problems involved.

    You don’t understand basic physics. Fact: A more optically dense medium >>> will have a slightly greater refractive index.

    Is today "make up a fact day" or something?

    Look up optical density vs refraction and you get many quotes like
    the following: “ The refractive index of the material is an indicator
    of its optical density.”

    Perhaps it does, do you have a reference for index of refraction vs.
    density?

    I’m not trying to write a textbook on refraction and optical
    density.

    Yet you need to show that for a speed v, the index of refraction for
    light moving in the same direction becomes n', while light in the
    reverse direction has an index of refraction n''. Which you can look up
    in your magic tables of indexes of refraction vs. speeds.

    Since you haven't done that, all you have is a conjecture that the speed
    of water changes its index of refraction by motion, in exactly the right
    way to match Fizeau's results.

    All I’m doing is pointing out that in the Fizeau experiment
    when the water flows at v in the tube, the lightspeed of the beam
    travelling the distance between source and interference detector is
    slower than when the water doesn’t flow.

    Obviously

    "Obviously" is a word which doesn't belong in physics discussions like
    this. You have to show what you think is "obvious".

    c/n of water no longer applies.

    Where is your table how the index of refraction of water varies with its
    speed? No handwaving it away as being "obvious". Show your evidence.

    This slowing down of
    lightspeed in moving water is best described classically as the optical density and thus refractive index of light in the moving water increases.

    Conjecture.

    As modelled by Fizeau’s or my formula.

    No, Fizeau's formula is what was measured. Classical theory predicts
    speed of c/n + v. Your formula is still warm from being found in some best-unnamed bodily orifice.

    If you have any proof that there is no relationship between optical density increasing proportional to observed speed of light in a transparent medium. Please supply your evidence.

    Again, it's your wacky theory, you provide the evidence.

    And if the water moves
    relative to the source..a classical model predicts this extra +-v
    will increase (or decrease)the optical density of the water as it moves
    relative to the source.

    Again, your data?

    Fizeau experiment.

    Logical Fallacy alert! Assuming your conclusion. You have to show a
    cause and effect relationship.

    Proof that moving water relative to a source will
    increase the optical density of the medium and slow the speed.
    Any proof that Fizeau doesn’t observe a change in speed in
    the light in moving water?
    No

    You cannot prove a negative.

    And Fizeaus original formula ( that SR stole)

    No, Fizeau's experiment helped inspire Einstein.


    Fizeau’s formula was made in 1851, years before the serial plagiarist Albert was born.

    Sure, Albert was inspired by an old experiment. Nothing wrong with that!

    Relativists, in their infinite lack of wisdom,
    think that Albert thought up Fizeau’s formula.

    No, cranks make up false beliefs like Einstein stealing formulas because
    they have nothing else to go on.

    models this change in density.

    How could it, without any data?


    If you want to ignore Fizeau’s experimental data showing that
    the optical density of the moving water does slow the light

    You are assuming your conclusion again! You only know that Fizeau
    measured a difference in the speed of light which differed from the
    expected classical formula c/n+v.

    If you find alternate indexes of refraction and actually apply them to
    Fizeau's experiment and do the math, and it happens to come out right,
    you'll offer an alternate explanation (but not a proof, of course).

    Nothing new for relativists to ignore data. SR and GR were built on
    the assumption that all observed data must be ignored.

    So today is make up a fact day instead.

    And even if it did, classical physics would ADD the v component to the
    alleged density contribution.

    Before1851. But only a desperate relativist would pretend the physics community
    ignored Fizeau’s results after that date.

    Nobody "ignored" it. It was an unsolved mystery of physics before Einstein.

    As does my own version: c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    It is make up a fact day!


    Says the fact free relativist who can’t prove the formula doesn’t accurately
    model the observations made in Fizeau.

    Cannot prove a negative. And it is you who has no data like indexes of refraction changing with v.

    But if you don’t like my formula ,...use Fizeau’s formula.

    Which we know doesn't match the classical c/n+v predicted speeds.

    It also correctly predicts that light speed slows relative to an increase in optical
    density of the moving water.

    You got that backwards. You need to show how light speed slows due to an increase in velocity to show you have an alternate explanation for
    Fizeau. So far, nothing from you.


    Proving

    No proofs in physics, only disproofs.

    OK ..disprove my claim that increasing optical density in moving
    water will decrease the observed lightspeed through the water.

    We have no such data so far. You have nothing to support your claim.

    the only people who don’t have any idea are the relativist
    fantasists who still think the sun rotates around the earth.

    Huh? Besides, it is the anti-relativity cranks who are living in the
    past (well over 100 years now), not scientists.

    ‘Relativist’: Another word for a delusional fantasist who cannot
    accept any empirical data.

    'Relativist' is a crank word for a scientist who understands science.

    The ball is falling from the ceiling of an airplane, and will
    fall a distance h and hit the floor in the airplane.

    _____________________________________________________________________

    In the airplane's rest frame we have:
    ---------------------------------------
    The ball will fall along a straight vertical line, and
    will hit the floor with the vertical velocity u_v = √(2gh).

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u = √(2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the airplane's
    rest frame.
    _______________________________________________________________________ >>
    In the ground frame, we have:
    -------------------------------
    The ball will have a constant horizontal speed v,
    and the vertical speed when it hits the floor is u_v = √(2gh)

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u' = √(v²+2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the ground frame.
    __________________________________________________________________________

    If use the values
    g = 9.8 m/s², v = 230 m/s (828.00 km/h), h = 2.5 m, we get :

    The speed of the ball when it hits the floor is:
    In the rest frame of the airplane: u = 7 m/s, t = 0.7142 s
    In the ground frame: u= 230.11 m/s = 828.38 km/h, t = 0.7142 s

    This answers are the same for SR and NM.
    (We ignore the curvature of spacetime because
    the height difference is only 2.5 m)

    So the speed is obviously much higher in the ground frame
    than in the airplane's rest frame. But the vertical speed
    component is the same in both frames.
    Note:
    The vertical speed component is the same in both frames.

    Original question:
    In which frame is the speed of the ball fastest?

    Second question:
    In which frame is the vertical component of the ball's velocity fastest?
    Well, no, Paul. Einstein says that we have a slower clock in the flying airplane. Hafele and Keating say it might be faster, but it could be slower. So we will go with Einstein's original idea. The clock is slower. If t is the time of a clock on the
    ground, the during a time of t= 1 sec., the earth rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis. Mars rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, Jupiter rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, etc., etc. The clock in the airplane shows
    less time than a second when the clock on the ground shows a second and the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc., are all rotating these varying number of degrees. So what you are telling me now is that if a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane, the clock
    on the ground shows less time than the clock on the airplane. What do the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. do? Do they all rotate backward to agree with the clock on the ground every time a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane? Now scientists have two
    miracles. I am not opposed to scientists having miracles, but you have to understand that we common people are required to live in something called reality where the planets would just go on rotating the same way they were before the scientist looked at
    the clock in the airplane. Or maybe scientists are trying to say that the planets would go on rotating the way they did before, but the clock on the ground would rotate backward to agree with the equations scientists use. It would still just be another
    miracle. I have to agree with Galileo and Isaac Newton that if the clock in the airplane was slower, as seen from the airplane, the clock on the ground would be faster. I think scientists are either using the wrong equations for their calculations of
    electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves, or else they are misinterpreting the equations they have.
    I don't buy it, Robert.
    You are ignorant of physics, but you are nowhere near as stupid
    as the above babble indicates. If you were, you wouldn't be able
    to handle a job like - say welding.

    I think you are talking nonsense to evade addressing the issue.

    So please, answer the questions.

    Hint:
    The ball "is in" both frames of reference of course,
    it is not one ball in each frame. One reality!
    And since the frames are moving relative to each other
    along the horizontal axis, the horizontal component of
    the ball's velocity must be different, while the vertical
    component must be equal in the two frames.

    If you measure the vertical velocity with two clocks with
    different rates, you will get two different results, but
    the vertical speed would still be the same in both frames.

    With other words:
    If the observer in the airplane had a clock which ran
    too slow, the observer in the plane and the observer
    on the ground would disagree about what the speed was,
    but they would agree that the speed was the same in
    the two frames.

    I can't quite follow your reasoning. As far as I can tell, you are saying that you use the time of the clock on the ground, t, in both frames of reference for the vertical component, so the time of the vertical component remains the same. What happened
    to t'. the time of the clock in the airplane?
    It looks to me as though you are doing what Einstein seemed to do quite a bit, reverting back to the Galilean transformation equations whenever you have a question your interpretation of the Lorentz equations can't answer.
    The way I would work the problem with the Galilean transformation equations is t is the time of the clock on the ground, n' is the time of the clock in the airplane.
    y'=y
    y/t is the average speed of the ball as computed by the clock on earth
    y'/n' is the average speed of the ball as computed by the clock in the airplane If n' is less time than t, then the ball is falling faster as seen from the airplane.
    I don't need to do your trick of switching to the time of the other frame of reference. The position of the ball shows that the clock on the airplane is slower. An observer on the airplane using the clock on the airplane gets a faster speed for the
    airplane and a faster speed for the ball, which is what reality also shows us.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined
    a clock in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would
    get a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y

    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the
    airplane. Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock
    on the ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I
    believe Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane
    if his clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the
    clock on the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same
    distances for x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They
    indicate that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    same distance.
    Unfortunately you are unable to read reference on the experiment.

    All I’m doing is pointing out that in the Fizeau experiment

    speeds but not by +-v. Try reading Fizeau paper instead of hanging
    around public toilets.

    If you have any proof that there is no relationship between optical density
    increasing proportional to observed speed of light in a transparent medium.
    Please supply your evidence.
    Again, it's your wacky theory, you provide the evidence.
    And if the water moves
    relative to the source..a classical model predicts this extra +-v
    will increase (or decrease)the optical density of the water as it moves >>> relative to the source.

    Again, your data?

    Fizeau experiment.
    Logical Fallacy alert! Assuming your conclusion. You have to show a
    cause and effect relationship.

    If one wants people to pretend that angels pull stars and the sun across the sky
    as relativity does then yes..one can ignore the observations,
    But I prefer classical empirical data over relativistic delusions.

    Proof that moving water relative to a source will
    increase the optical density of the medium and slow the speed.
    Any proof that Fizeau doesn’t observe a change in speed in
    the light in moving water?
    No
    You cannot prove a negative.

    And Fizeaus original formula ( that SR stole)

    No, Fizeau's experiment helped inspire Einstein.


    Fizeau’s formula was made in 1851, years before the serial plagiarist Albert was born.
    Sure, Albert was inspired by an old experiment. Nothing wrong with that!
    Relativists, in their infinite lack of wisdom,
    think that Albert thought up Fizeau’s formula.
    No, cranks make up false beliefs like Einstein stealing formulas because they have nothing else to go on.
    models this change in density.

    How could it, without any data?


    If you want to ignore Fizeau’s experimental data showing that
    the optical density of the moving water does slow the light
    You are assuming your conclusion again! You only know that Fizeau
    measured a difference in the speed of light which differed from the
    expected classical formula c/n+v.


    Fizeau did observe a difference in speeds ..yes.
    Notice that Einstein also only *assumed* it was because magic aliens distorted space and time. Theories are always assumptions. Whether it’s religious Wacko theories like SR or more reputable theories like classical.

    If you find alternate indexes of refraction and actually apply them to Fizeau's experiment and do the math, and it happens to come out right, you'll offer an alternate explanation (but not a proof, of course).
    Nothing new for relativists to ignore data. SR and GR were built on
    the assumption that all observed data must be ignored.
    So today is make up a fact day instead.

    Today! You relativists do it everyday.


    And even if it did, classical physics would ADD the v component to the
    alleged density contribution.

    Before1851. But only a desperate relativist would pretend the physics community
    ignored Fizeau’s results after that date.
    Nobody "ignored" it. It was an unsolved mystery of physics before Einstein.

    😂🤣😂 Sure Volney. And now Albert has told us magic goblins moving
    in different time dimensions distort the fabric of the universe proving 1+2=5 ..show all the world that the Fizeau experiment is no longer a mystery. 🤣🤣😅
    Make my day pal.

    As does my own version: c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    It is make up a fact day!


    Says the fact free relativist who can’t prove the formula doesn’t accurately
    model the observations made in Fizeau.
    Cannot prove a negative. And it is you who has no data like indexes of refraction changing with v.
    But if you don’t like my formula ,...use Fizeau’s formula.
    Which we know doesn't match the classical c/n+v predicted speeds.

    You don’t understand physics. Classical theory has used Fizeau formula
    to accurately predict speeds in the experiment since 1851. But relativists, being
    dishonest plagiarists, think that the Fizeau formula was invented by Albert. Even though in fact it was formulated decades before the serial con artist Albert was even born.

    Fizeau is not a thought experiment. Or any version of it.

    Idiot, the thought experiment is water filled tubes with different
    lengths "d", which should (if your claim is correct) slow down light
    more for longer "d" because the light traverses more water!

    You don’t understand refractive index. If the refractive index
    of the medium changes...the speed changes. But distance travelled
    will not affect the refractive index or speed of light in any medium.
    But you claimed before that the amount of water traversed affected the
    index of refraction. (of course you changed that once I pointed that out
    to you)

    If you think I’ve made contradictory claims cite them.
    Obviously, whats obvious is you are unable to understand the obvious facts
    in the experiment. Here’s Fizeau for dummies like yourself:
    Light traverses the experiment from source to detector (distance d) in x amount
    of time when the water is not moving. When the water column moves the light takes
    a slightly longer amount of time to travel the same distance d.
    If the water moves at v during the time the light traverses distance d in the experiment...
    then the light pulse has to travel through a longer column of water than
    it does when the water isn’t moving.
    If you can prove any of the above is false...please send me a reply from
    your padded cell.

    Or less depending on the direction of v.
    Why do you think they move the water through the tube?

    Duh-h-h-h... The speed of light in the water is c/n, relative to the
    water. Relative to the lab, it should be (according to cranks) c/n ±v

    Maybe relativistic cranks...
    Nope. Relativity predicts a formula close to what Fizeau actually found.
    It was Fizeau who predicted (but did not measure) the classical c/n ± v speed.

    Wow...you are definitely delusional. Let me guess...Fizeau’s 1851 paper originally didn’t have the correct formula w+=c/n+v(1-(1/n^2)) in it.
    But in 1905 Einstein devised the formula w+=c/n+v(1-(1/n^2)) and
    then built a time machine...travelled back in time to 1851 to the publishers office and inserted the formula in the typesetting of Fizeau’s paper just before it was sent off to the printers.
    Is that roughly what you relativists think happened?

    but I just finished telling you and showing
    you a formula saying it wasn’t at c/n+-v. Can’t you read?
    And not only that we’ve known it isn’t c/n+-v since 1851.
    Correct. Fizeau stumbled across the relativistic speed combination
    formula which was close to Fizeau's result of c/n ± v(1-1/n²).

    😂🤣😅

    but instead Fizeau measured it as c/n ±v(1-1/n^2). Now you, desperately >> flailing around, are coming up with bogus excuses like there is more
    water to traverse when the water is moving but not when a water filled
    tube is longer!

    Liar. I never said that.
    You did, but changed it later once I pointed out the effects of tubes
    with different length "d".

    Cite the two imaginary contradictory quotes you think I made.

    I notice so far you can’t. Because if you tried...
    You’ll find out that in fact you were just too stupid to understand
    what I said. Your mistake is *Obvious* isn’t it?

    And that refractive index isn’t n in water but a slightly different >>>>> value of n which takes into account the fact that the moving water >>>>> creates a more optically dense medium in the experiment.

    I have no evidence that water moves through the tube in Fizeau to
    change the observed speed of the light in the experiment? Troll.

    You have no evidence the index of refraction in water is changed by
    motion. It is a desperate flailing to try to come up with some other
    explanation than one of the first glimmers of SR.


    I have no evidence!! 😂💩 Nonsense.
    Yes, your claims are all nonsense.
    I just cited Fizeau experiment as my evidence.
    Assuming your conclusion. Logical fallacy.
    And believe me, if you actually
    tried reading the various reference on the experiment you would see it confirms what I say.
    Which is: That the faster the water moves in the tube. The slower the light
    speed is observed relative to the source.
    Your evidence of this?
    And that this change in speed
    isnt c/n +-v.
    Evidence?

    So now you say I need evidence to prove that light didn’t travel at
    c/n+-v in Fizeau? Things aren’t going well for you today old boy aren’t they?

    I supplied a formula to model this change in speed.
    A "model" based on zero evidence? Why would anyone care about THAT?
    Or you
    can refer to Fizeau’s formula.
    Which is not the same as yours. Which one do you believe is correct?
    (hint: it can't be both).
    Either one accurately predicts how much
    light speed slows relative to the source if the water is at v.
    No, both cannot be the correct formula. And you cannot use Fizeau's
    formula as proof of varying indexes of refraction without the logical fallacy of assuming your conclusion.

    Sorry I forgot. Relativists strictly forbid any use of any empirical observations or any classical formula devised to correctly
    model the data. Unless....relativists can steal the classical formula
    and falsely pretend Einstein invented it.


    Another fact free claim from a relativist.

    The fact free claim is that the index of refraction changes due to
    motion. Remember, evidence is king in physics. Got any?


    Yes. Fizeau.
    Bzzzzt. Assuming the conclusion.
    Notice it observed that the speed of light slows down in water
    if the water moves in the tube.
    But you have no evidence of that.

    Let me get this straight then. You and other delusional relativists
    sincerely believe that in the Fizeau experiment the light takes the
    same amount of time to travel the distance between detector plane
    and source.
    Regardless of whether or not the water is moving ?
    Obviously, You are delusional.

    And the reason is that the optical
    density of the water increases relative to the source if the water is at v.
    Assertions are not evidence.

    I thought relativists only accepted assertions and never allow any
    evidence to get in the way of their deluded fantastical assumptions?

    As observed.

    You have a table of indexes of water vs. speed? Why not show it!
    Any evidence that there is no change in light-speed relative to
    the source in Fizeau when the water is at v?
    No.
    Thought not.
    Again, your wacky claim, you provide your evidence.

    Notice that any description of Fizeau (including wiki) specifically
    states that to get the observed effects...one must have water
    move through the column/tube.

    Exactly. It was an early demonstration of the SR speed combination formula.

    Theoretically. But a classical explanation doesn’t rely on magic.
    And works just as well.
    Nope. Fizeau didn't get his expected classical c/n ± v.
    Seeing as both Fizeau’s and my formula
    can accurately predict this classical effect.
    Neither got the classical c/n ± v.
    Also...you forgot...the formula SR uses...is stolen from classical theory
    How?

    Oh yes, we mustn’t forget the children’s fairy tale about how Einstein travelled back in time and added in this formula:
    w+=c/n+v(1-(1/n^2)) into Fizeau’s 1851paper.

    As per usual for relativists.

    And classically one way to model this is to make this new
    value of n is by this formula... c/n+-v{(n-1)+(n-1)^2}

    Now you are making up your own crap formula which conflicts with
    Fizeau's results (as well as SR)?

    SR stole Fizeau formula. Albert was a plagiarist.

    Nope. Fizeau's experiment INSPIRED Albert. It was an unsolved mystery
    until SR could explain it.

    And the formula I suggested...gave a prediction consistent
    with the observations. So does Fizeau’s formula.
    Fizeau's equation was DERIVED from his results. Your formula is, well,
    you know...

    So which body orifice did you pull your formula from? Why do you feel it >> is better than Fizeau's formula? Remember, you must provide evidence of >> your claim.

    I didn’t say it was better. I said both worked as well.
    How could it "work as well"? Why even bother with it?
    And proved that
    the optical density of the moving water relative to the source increases or decreases with+-v. A purely classical phenomena.
    No, you need to show measurements of n vs. speed of water, and reference
    the experimental data and its author in any such beliefs. Instead, you
    just made it up.
    If you think I’m wrong..prove that Fizeau does not observe any change in lightspeed in water relative to the source. Even when the water moves
    at v in the tube.
    You can’t.
    Of course. Fizeau knew the speed of light in water was c/n. Which is why
    he expected the classical c/n ± v.


    And you have no evidence to contradict this fact.

    Your claim is NOT a fact. In fact it is up to you to show water speed
    produces increased density which changes n, or for your alternate
    formula. Remember, science is based on scientific observations and
    experimental data.


    I did prove it. My evidence is ...the Fizeau experiment.
    Assuming your conclusion.

    Or if you prefer the Fizeau original formula...that works as well too. >>>> Except that it's different.

    And not worthless like your bogus formula.

    My formula predicts as well as Fizeau’s.
    How can different formulas work equally as well?
    But that’s irrelevent
    because Fizeau’s formula also correctly predicts the optical density changes when water is at v.
    How could it if you don't even know what the change is at a given
    velocity v?

    But I do...Fizeau told us in 1851 with his formula w+=c/n+v(1-(1/n^2))
    Or are you still pretending Albert discovered the formula in 1905
    and travelled back in time to 1851 and inserted the formula into
    Fizeau’s paper?

    Of course it’s a different formula. There are different ways to model >>> optical density in moving water. The maths can change...but
    the theory doesn’t.

    What theory? You have provided no evidence of anything!

    Only if you ignore Fizeau.
    Assuming the conclusion is no basis for any theory.

    What’s important is that Fizeau observations are predicted by classical theory
    as differences in optical densities of moving mediums compared to when >>> they don’t move relative to the source.

    Nope. Classical theory predicts c/n ± v. Fizeau's observations
    contradicted classical theory.

    No. Classical theory predicts light speed changes in water if the water moves in the tube at v. And succesfully predicted for classical theory
    by Fizeau : c/n+-v(1-(1/n^2))
    How could it if you don't even know how n changes with v (if it does)?
    As confirmed by Fizeau.

    Nope. Don't put words in Fizeau's mouth.

    I didn’t. I only quoted his experiment where he not only measures
    the change in lightspeed ,...he correctly models it with the classical formula c/n+-v(1-(1/n^2))
    That's not the classical formula. c/n ± v is.

    Don’t you ever even get a bit tired of pretending that Fizeau didnt write the formula
    w+=c/n+v(1-(1/n^2)) in his 1851 paper?

    I disagree. I think the accelerating person will INNATELY feel that his
    speed was initially zero, and then became non-zero and continually
    increasing when he started his constant acceleration.

    That is analogous to the feeling that an inertial person (she) has: that
    she IS stationary (i.e., that she regards her speed to be zero), and
    that other inertial people (not stationary wrt her) are moving.

    Similarly, in the twin "paradox", the traveling twin (he) truly BELIEVES
    that his home twin (she) instantaneously gets much older when he instantaneously reverses course. And if he ever instantaneously does a
    Dirac delta-function acceleration in the direction AWAY from her (when
    they are separated by a large distance), he will truly BELIEVE that she instantaneously gets YOUNGER during that instantaneous turnaround. And
    he is RIGHT, even though she doesn't agree (and neither do other
    inertial people moving with respect to her). In special relativity,
    different people are RIGHT, even though they disagree with each other!

    You (Tom Roberts) have developed such a MUSHY view of special relativity
    that there's no MEANINGFULNESS left in it. If you were actually in a high-speed rocket well away from the earth, you would probably decide to
    make all the clocks on your rocket read what your twin on Earth's clocks

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a clock in
    a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get a faster
    speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special Relativity
    show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on the
    ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for x
    and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'. So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate that
    there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.

    How do you know a miracal is real. How do you measure the difference between absolute and relative orders?

    In the rest frame of the airplane: u = 7 m/s, t = 0.7142 s
    In the ground frame: u= 230.11 m/s = 828.38 km/h, t = 0.7142 s

    This answers are the same for SR and NM.
    (We ignore the curvature of spacetime because
    the height difference is only 2.5 m)

    So the speed is obviously much higher in the ground frame
    than in the airplane's rest frame. But the vertical speed

    Note:
    The vertical speed component is the same in both frames.

    In which frame is the vertical component of the ball's velocity fastest?
    Well, no, Paul. Einstein says that we have a slower clock in the flying airplane. Hafele and Keating say it might be faster, but it could be slower. So we will go with Einstein's original idea. The clock is slower. If t is the time of a clock on
    the ground, the during a time of t= 1 sec., the earth rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis. Mars rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, Jupiter rotates a certain number of degrees on its axis, etc., etc. The clock in the airplane
    shows less time than a second when the clock on the ground shows a second and the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc., are all rotating these varying number of degrees. So what you are telling me now is that if a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane, the
    clock on the ground shows less time than the clock on the airplane. What do the earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. do? Do they all rotate backward to agree with the clock on the ground every time a scientist looks at the clock in the airplane? Now scientists
    have two miracles. I am not opposed to scientists having miracles, but you have to understand that we common people are required to live in something called reality where the planets would just go on rotating the same way they were before the scientist
    looked at the clock in the airplane. Or maybe scientists are trying to say that the planets would go on rotating the way they did before, but the clock on the ground would rotate backward to agree with the equations scientists use. It would still just be
    another miracle. I have to agree with Galileo and Isaac Newton that if the clock in the airplane was slower, as seen from the airplane, the clock on the ground would be faster. I think scientists are either using the wrong equations for their
    calculations of electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves, or else they are misinterpreting the equations they have.
    I don't buy it, Robert.

    So please, answer the questions.

    Hint:
    The ball "is in" both frames of reference of course,
    it is not one ball in each frame. One reality!
    And since the frames are moving relative to each other
    along the horizontal axis, the horizontal component of
    the ball's velocity must be different, while the vertical
    component must be equal in the two frames.

    If you measure the vertical velocity with two clocks with
    different rates, you will get two different results, but
    the vertical speed would still be the same in both frames.

    With other words:
    If the observer in the airplane had a clock which ran
    too slow, the observer in the plane and the observer
    Your tales of observers were nothing but funny even

    The ball is falling from the ceiling of an airplane, and will
    fall a distance h and hit the floor in the airplane.

    _____________________________________________________________________ >>
    In the airplane's rest frame we have:
    ---------------------------------------
    The ball will fall along a straight vertical line, and
    will hit the floor with the vertical velocity u_v = √(2gh).

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u = √(2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the airplane's
    rest frame.
    _______________________________________________________________________ >>
    In the ground frame, we have:
    -------------------------------
    The ball will have a constant horizontal speed v,
    and the vertical speed when it hits the floor is u_v = √(2gh)

    The speed of the ball when it hit the floor is u' = √(v²+2gh)
    The ball will hit the floor at the time t' = √(2h/g)
    after it was dropped.

    This time is measured with coordinate clocks in the ground frame.
    __________________________________________________________________________

    If use the values
    g = 9.8 m/s², v = 230 m/s (828.00 km/h), h = 2.5 m, we get :

    The speed of the ball when it hits the floor is:
    In the rest frame of the airplane: u = 7 m/s, t = 0.7142 s
    In the ground frame: u= 230.11 m/s = 828.38 km/h, t = 0.7142 s

    This answers are the same for SR and NM.
    (We ignore the curvature of spacetime because
    the height difference is only 2.5 m)

    So the speed is obviously much higher in the ground frame
    than in the airplane's rest frame. But the vertical speed
    component is the same in both frames.
    Note:
    The vertical speed component is the same in both frames.

    In which frame is the speed of the ball fastest?

    I think what Paul is saying is that t'=t is used for the vertical component and t' = (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is being used for the horizontal component. What does this clock look like?
    I still like the idea of basing the times of clocks on rotations of planets. That way we can visualize the planets rotating backward every time a scientist looks down from an airplane to see the time of a clock on earth. Back in the time of Galileo and
    Newton, time was all based on the rotation of the earth. One day was one rotation of the earth, an hour was 1/24th of a day, a minute was 1/60th of an hour, and a second was 1/60th of a minute. Then scientists got the idea of saying that a second was a
    certain number of transitions of a cesium isotope atom. I think that if we could better visualize how transitions of cesium isotope atoms relate to rotations of planets, we could make great advances in science.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a clock
    in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get a
    faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on
    the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for
    x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate
    that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    How do you know a miracal is real. How do you measure the difference between absolute and relative orders?
    Well, Isaac Newton used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that are working correctly in the universe would agree with one another. Newton was pretty good with mathematics. I think if he had ever been told that clocks were speeding up or slowing
    down because of differences in gravitation or other reasons scientists give today, he would have just done what I do, use a different set of Galilean transformation equations with different variable for time and velocity to show what the faster or slower
    clock was doing. So here are the equations Einstein was using for absolute time.
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    Where scientists went wrong when they had a clock with a different rate was that they did not seem to believe the last equation, t'=t. What that equation means is that the time of a clock that shows t is being used in both frames of reference. This set
    of Galilean equations says nothing whatsoever about a clock that shows a different time than t, other than where the clock would be. In order to show the time of the clock, you have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with different
    variables for time and velocity, as shown by the time of the faster or slower clock. Since Einstein's slower clock is moving, we use inverse Galilean transformation equations. Now the inverse equations with t'=t would be
    x = x' -v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    -v = v'
    So we just say that n' is the time of Einstein's slower clock and that m' is the velocity of S(x,y,z,n) relative to S'(x',y',z',n') according to the time of the slower clock.
    x = x' - m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    -vt/n' = m'
    This way the pilot of an airplane with a slower clock will get a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground who is using a faster clock to time the flight of the airplane, instead of both observers getting the same speed for the
    airplane the way the Lorentz equations show. It took me a long time to figure out these equations, like about forty years, but a junior high algebra student should be able to figure them out in a few minutes.
    So there is no need for Einstein's miracle in reality. That is how we know it is a real miracle, like the planets turning backward when scientists look at a clock on the ground.

    And if he ever instantaneously does a Dirac delta-function

    Again, only if he is an idiot. Same as above.

    I realize now that most of what I have written in this thread
    is very imprecise, and something is plain wrong.
    (I tend to be a bit too fast sometimes.)

    The big error I made was too claim that the vertical speed of
    the ball would be the same when measured in the two frames.
    That is wrong. The vertical speed in the ground frame is
    slower by 1/γ compared to the airplane frame.

    Which was what Robert claimed, but for the wrong reason.
    The clock in the airplane and the clock on the ground run
    at the same rate.


    So let me start from the beginning, and do it properly this time.
    There may be typos, but not too many, I hope.

    First, remember what a frame of reference is.
    The concept you must know is coordinate time.
    You can image a three dimensional array of clocks.
    These clocks are synchronous, which mean that at
    any time all the clocks are showing the same.

    All frames of reference are equal, and since we
    use second as the time unit, the clocks (and coordinate time)
    are SI-clocks. And since the clocks in all frames of reference
    are equal SI-clocks, THEY ALL RUN AT THE SAME RATE.

    Let's call the rest frame of the airplane K'(t',x',y'),
    and let's call the ground frame K(t,x,y).

    We have clocks showing coordinate time at the origin of the frames.

    The events of interest is E₀, the ball is dropped from the ceiling,
    and E₁, the ball hits the floor in the airplane.

    (use fixed width font!)

    At E₀ we have:
    y,y'
    |
    o-h
    |
    |
    K':-------------------|--------------------> x' -> v
    0
    K :-------------------|---------------------> x
    0
    Fig. 1.
    ---------
    The x-axis and the x'-axis are coincident.
    At t = t' = 0 The origins and the y-axis and the y'-axis are
    also coincident. We choose z = z' = 0 for all t, and forget the z axis.

    The coordinates of the ball at event E₀ are:
    In K: t = t₀ = 0 s, x = x₀ = 0 m, y = h
    In K': t' = t₀' = 0 s, x' = x₀' = 0 m, y' = h
    ______

    At E₁ we have:

    When the ball hits the floor, t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    and x' = x₁' = 0 m

    y y'
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    K':----------|----------o--------> x' -> v
    x₂' 0
    K :----------|----------|---------> x
    0 x₁
    Fig. 2.
    ---------

    So the coordinates of the ball at the event E₁ are:
    In K':
    t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    x' = x₁' = 0 m
    In K:
    t₁ = γ(t₁'+ v⋅x₁'/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₁ = γ(x₁'+ v⋅t₁') = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    We can find the velocity of the ball:
    =====================================
    In the airplane frame:
    ----------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is Vh' = x₁'/t₁' = 0
    The vertical velocity component: Vv'(t') = gt'
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hits the floor:
    Vv'(t₁') = gt₁'= √(2gh)

    In the ground frame:
    ---------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is
    Vh = x₁/t₁ = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = v

    The acceleration g of the ball transformed to to K is a = g/γ²
    The vertical velocity component: Vv(t) = a⋅t = (g/γ²)⋅t
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hit the floor:
    Vv(t₁) = (g/γ²)⋅t₁ = (g/γ²)⋅γ⋅√(2h/g) = √(2gh)/γ

    The apparent rate of clocks in K' as observed in K. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K' shows t₀' = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀ = 0.
    When this clock shows t₁' = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K showing γ⋅√(2h/g).

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f' = (t₁'-t₀')/(t₁-t₀) = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₁'-t₀') is a proper time because both t₀' and t₁'
    are read off the same clock, while t₀ and t₁ are read off two
    different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    The apparent rate of clocks in K as observed in K'. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K shows t₀ = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀' = 0.

    See fig2:
    We can define an event E₂:
    When this clock at x₂ = 0 shows t₂ = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K'.
    The coordinates in K' are:
    t₂' = γ(t₂ - v⋅x₂/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₂' = γ(x₂ - v⋅t₂) = -γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f = (t₂-t₀)/(t₂'-t₀') = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₂-t₀) is a proper time because both t₀ and t₂
    are read off the same clock, while t₀' and t₂' are read off two
    different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    That is wrong. The vertical speed in the ground frame is

    Which was what Robert claimed, but for the wrong reason.
    The clock in the airplane and the clock on the ground run
    at the same rate.


    So let me start from the beginning, and do it properly this time.
    There may be typos, but not too many, I hope.

    First, remember what a frame of reference is.
    The concept you must know is coordinate time.
    You can image a three dimensional array of clocks.
    These clocks are synchronous, which mean that at
    any time all the clocks are showing the same.

    All frames of reference are equal, and since we
    use second as the time unit, the clocks (and coordinate time)
    are SI-clocks. And since the clocks in all frames of reference
    are equal SI-clocks, THEY ALL RUN AT THE SAME RATE.

    Let's call the rest frame of the airplane K'(t',x',y'),
    and let's call the ground frame K(t,x,y).

    We have clocks showing coordinate time at the origin of the frames.

    The events of interest is E₀, the ball is dropped from the ceiling,
    and E₁, the ball hits the floor in the airplane.

    (use fixed width font!)

    At E₀ we have:
    y,y'
    |
    o-h
    |
    |
    K':-------------------|--------------------> x' -> v
    0
    K :-------------------|---------------------> x
    0
    Fig. 1.
    ---------
    The x-axis and the x'-axis are coincident.
    At t = t' = 0 The origins and the y-axis and the y'-axis are
    also coincident. We choose z = z' = 0 for all t, and forget the z axis.

    The coordinates of the ball at event E₀ are:
    In K: t = t₀ = 0 s, x = x₀ = 0 m, y = h
    In K': t' = t₀' = 0 s, x' = x₀' = 0 m, y' = h
    ______

    At E₁ we have:

    When the ball hits the floor, t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    and x' = x₁' = 0 m

    y y'
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    K':----------|----------o--------> x' -> v
    x₂' 0
    K :----------|----------|---------> x
    0 x₁
    Fig. 2.
    ---------

    So the coordinates of the ball at the event E₁ are:
    In K':
    t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    x' = x₁' = 0 m
    In K:
    t₁ = γ(t₁'+ v⋅x₁'/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₁ = γ(x₁'+ v⋅t₁') = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    We can find the velocity of the ball:
    =====================================
    In the airplane frame:
    ----------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is Vh' = x₁'/t₁' = 0
    The vertical velocity component: Vv'(t') = gt'
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hits the floor:
    Vv'(t₁') = gt₁'= √(2gh)

    In the ground frame:
    ---------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is
    Vh = x₁/t₁ = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = v

    The acceleration g of the ball transformed to to K is a = g/γ²
    The vertical velocity component: Vv(t) = a⋅t = (g/γ²)⋅t
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hit the floor:
    Vv(t₁) = (g/γ²)⋅t₁ = (g/γ²)⋅γ⋅√(2h/g) = √(2gh)/γ

    The apparent rate of clocks in K' as observed in K. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K' shows t₀' = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀ = 0.
    When this clock shows t₁' = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K showing γ⋅√(2h/g).

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f' = (t₁'-t₀')/(t₁-t₀) = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₁'-t₀') is a proper time because both t₀' and t₁'
    are read off the same clock, while t₀ and t₁ are read off two
    different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    The apparent rate of clocks in K as observed in K'. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K shows t₀ = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀' = 0.

    See fig2:
    We can define an event E₂:
    When this clock at x₂ = 0 shows t₂ = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K'.
    The coordinates in K' are:
    t₂' = γ(t₂ - v⋅x₂/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₂' = γ(x₂ - v⋅t₂) = -γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f = (t₂-t₀)/(t₂'-t₀') = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₂-t₀) is a proper time because both t₀ and t₂
    are read off the same clock, while t₀' and t₂' are read off two different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    Well, that is just another miracle that scientists have imagined. I don't really see the need for it. One of the proofs that scientists used to say that Einstein's Theory was true was the perihelion of Mercury. Isaac Newton's absolute time
    interpretation did not quite explain where Mercury was. But, as I said, if Newton had been told that More gravitation would result in a slower clock, I think he could have done the mathematics. In looking at the Lorentz equations, it seemed obvious to
    me how part of them was derived. If we take two sets of Galilean transformation equations,
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t

    x = x' - m'n'
    y = y'
    z - z'
    n = n'
    Since there is no length contraction in the Galilean transformation equations, we can say
    x - x' = vt
    x -x' = -m'n'
    m'n' = -vt
    Einstein said that the Lorentz equations satisfy the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment because x = ct, x' = ct', where t' was the time of the moving clock. With two sets of Galilean transformation equations we have n' as the time of the moving
    clock.
    x=ct, x' = cn'
    So by either clock, light is traveling at c.
    x'=x-vt
    cn'=ct-vt
    n' = t - vt/c = t - vct/c^2 = t-vx/c^2, Which you might recognize as the numerator of Lorentz's equation for t'. At the speed of Mercury in its orbit, the denominator of Lorentz's equation is irrelevant. If something is traveling at the speed of
    Mercury, the difference between n' in two sets of Galilean transformation equations and t' in Lorentz's equations is the same to several decimal places. Scientists might have used General Relativity rather than Special in making the calculations for the
    orbit of Mercury, but the planet Mercury shows something about relativity. Using the time of the third planet from the sun as a preferred time for the solar system does not really make sense. Mercury moves at 30 miles per second, earth moves at 20
    miles per second. The further you get from the sun, the slower the planets are in their orbits. Then you have the orbits of the moons and satellites orbiting earth, etc. It seems to me that Newton was correct with his idea of absolute time to the
    extent that there would be a rate of time to which the rates of time of all planets could be converted, but it would be a different time from the time of the third planet from the sun. It seems to me that there would be a time common to the entire solar
    system to which the times of orbiting planets could be converted to agree with Newton's equations. Scientists, of course, are not going to be interested in anything but the miracles that Einstein and his disciples describe, but I think that times of
    clocks could be used to gain a better understanding of gravitation. Scientists are paid trillions of dollars from governments to say that Einstein's equations are correct. I do not really see any reason to think anything is going to change any time
    soon.

    I would ignore Einsteins “predictions” for the mercury anomalous preccession.
    He only knew the amount for mercury and fiddled his formula to match that observed.
    Notice his formula doesn’t do so well for other planets. A fact relativists like to ignore.
    To start with Mars preccesion rate is very unstable and is hard to calculate. Which is why they pretend Mars preccession rate is 1.3 arc seconds per C
    When it probably is more like 2.5
    The other planets preccesion rates fare less well under GR
    Venus observed is 8 (GR predicted 8.6)
    Earth observed is 5 (GR predicts 3.8)

    However if one uses a more correct classical formula 1/(r+3R)^2 based on perehilion
    not semi major axis as Albert incorrectly did. Then classical theory predicts more accurately
    than GR. {where r is perehilion distance and R is radius of sun}
    As follows:
    Planet. Obs. GR Classical
    Merc. 43.1. 43.5 43.24
    V. 8. 8.6. 8.33
    E. 5. 3.87. 4.49

    One thing you've never come to terms with, Tom, is that for an inertial observer, they have no choice but to believe that their conclusions
    about simultaneity-at-a-distance are fully real and meaningful. Because
    those conclusions are based ONLY on the fact that the speed of light is
    186,000 miles per second in their reference frame. If their conclusions
    about simultaneity-at-a-distance aren't correct, then their assumption
    that light travels at 186,000 miles per second in their frame can't be
    correct, in which case, special relativity can't be correct.

    There may be typos, but not too many, I hope.

    First, remember what a frame of reference is.
    The concept you must know is coordinate time.
    You can image a three dimensional array of clocks.
    These clocks are synchronous, which mean that at
    any time all the clocks are showing the same.

    All frames of reference are equal, and since we
    use second as the time unit, the clocks (and coordinate time)
    are SI-clocks. And since the clocks in all frames of reference
    are equal SI-clocks, THEY ALL RUN AT THE SAME RATE.

    Let's call the rest frame of the airplane K'(t',x',y'),
    and let's call the ground frame K(t,x,y).

    We have clocks showing coordinate time at the origin of the frames.

    The events of interest is E₀, the ball is dropped from the ceiling, and E₁, the ball hits the floor in the airplane.

    (use fixed width font!)

    At E₀ we have:
    y,y'
    |
    o-h
    |
    |
    K':-------------------|--------------------> x' -> v
    0
    K :-------------------|---------------------> x
    0
    Fig. 1.
    ---------
    The x-axis and the x'-axis are coincident.
    At t = t' = 0 The origins and the y-axis and the y'-axis are
    also coincident. We choose z = z' = 0 for all t, and forget the z axis.

    The coordinates of the ball at event E₀ are:
    In K: t = t₀ = 0 s, x = x₀ = 0 m, y = h
    In K': t' = t₀' = 0 s, x' = x₀' = 0 m, y' = h
    ______

    At E₁ we have:

    When the ball hits the floor, t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    and x' = x₁' = 0 m

    y y'
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    K':----------|----------o--------> x' -> v
    x₂' 0
    K :----------|----------|---------> x
    0 x₁
    Fig. 2.
    ---------

    So the coordinates of the ball at the event E₁ are:
    In K':
    t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    x' = x₁' = 0 m
    In K:
    t₁ = γ(t₁'+ v⋅x₁'/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₁ = γ(x₁'+ v⋅t₁') = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    We can find the velocity of the ball: =====================================
    In the airplane frame:
    ----------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is Vh' = x₁'/t₁' = 0
    The vertical velocity component: Vv'(t') = gt'
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hits the floor:
    Vv'(t₁') = gt₁'= √(2gh)

    In the ground frame:
    ---------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is
    Vh = x₁/t₁ = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = v

    The acceleration g of the ball transformed to to K is a = g/γ²
    The vertical velocity component: Vv(t) = a⋅t = (g/γ²)⋅t
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hit the floor:
    Vv(t₁) = (g/γ²)⋅t₁ = (g/γ²)⋅γ⋅√(2h/g) = √(2gh)/γ

    The apparent rate of clocks in K' as observed in K. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K' shows t₀' = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀ = 0.
    When this clock shows t₁' = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K showing γ⋅√(2h/g).

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f' = (t₁'-t₀')/(t₁-t₀) = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₁'-t₀') is a proper time because both t₀' and t₁' are read off the same clock, while t₀ and t₁ are read off two different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    The apparent rate of clocks in K as observed in K'. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K shows t₀ = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀' = 0.

    See fig2:
    We can define an event E₂:
    When this clock at x₂ = 0 shows t₂ = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K'.
    The coordinates in K' are:
    t₂' = γ(t₂ - v⋅x₂/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₂' = γ(x₂ - v⋅t₂) = -γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f = (t₂-t₀)/(t₂'-t₀') = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₂-t₀) is a proper time because both t₀ and t₂
    are read off the same clock, while t₀' and t₂' are read off two different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    Well, that is just another miracle that scientists have imagined. I don't really see the need for it. One of the proofs that scientists used to say that Einstein's Theory was true was the perihelion of Mercury. Isaac Newton's absolute time
    interpretation did not quite explain where Mercury was. But, as I said, if Newton had been told that More gravitation would result in a slower clock, I think he could have done the mathematics. In looking at the Lorentz equations, it seemed obvious to me
    how part of them was derived. If we take two sets of Galilean transformation equations,
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    x = x' - m'n'
    y = y'
    z - z'
    n = n'
    Since there is no length contraction in the Galilean transformation equations, we can say
    x - x' = vt
    x -x' = -m'n'
    m'n' = -vt
    Einstein said that the Lorentz equations satisfy the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment because x = ct, x' = ct', where t' was the time of the moving clock. With two sets of Galilean transformation equations we have n' as the time of the
    moving clock.
    x=ct, x' = cn'
    So by either clock, light is traveling at c.
    x'=x-vt
    cn'=ct-vt
    n' = t - vt/c = t - vct/c^2 = t-vx/c^2, Which you might recognize as the numerator of Lorentz's equation for t'. At the speed of Mercury in its orbit, the denominator of Lorentz's equation is irrelevant. If something is traveling at the speed of
    Mercury, the difference between n' in two sets of Galilean transformation equations and t' in Lorentz's equations is the same to several decimal places. Scientists might have used General Relativity rather than Special in making the calculations for the
    orbit of Mercury, but the planet Mercury shows something about relativity. Using the time of the third planet from the sun as a preferred time for the solar system does not really make sense. Mercury moves at 30 miles per second, earth moves at 20 miles
    per second. The further you get from the sun, the slower the planets are in their orbits. Then you have the orbits of the moons and satellites orbiting earth, etc. It seems to me that Newton was correct with his idea of absolute time to the extent that
    there would be a rate of time to which the rates of time of all planets could be converted, but it would be a different time from the time of the third planet from the sun. It seems to me that there would be a time common to the entire solar system to
    which the times of orbiting planets could be converted to agree with Newton's equations. Scientists, of course, are not going to be interested in anything but the miracles that Einstein and his disciples describe, but I think that times of clocks could
    be used to gain a better understanding of gravitation. Scientists are paid trillions of dollars from governments to say that Einstein's equations are correct. I do not really see any reason to think anything is going to change any time soon.
    I would ignore Einsteins “predictions” for the mercury anomalous preccession.
    He only knew the amount for mercury and fiddled his formula to match that observed.
    Notice his formula doesn’t do so well for other planets. A fact relativists
    like to ignore.
    To start with Mars preccesion rate is very unstable and is hard to calculate.
    Which is why they pretend Mars preccession rate is 1.3 arc seconds per C When it probably is more like 2.5
    The other planets preccesion rates fare less well under GR
    Venus observed is 8 (GR predicted 8.6)
    Earth observed is 5 (GR predicts 3.8)

    However if one uses a more correct classical formula 1/(r+3R)^2 based on perehilion
    not semi major axis as Albert incorrectly did. Then classical theory predicts more accurately
    than GR. {where r is perehilion distance and R is radius of sun}
    As follows:
    Planet. Obs. GR Classical
    Merc. 43.1. 43.5 43.24
    V. 8. 8.6. 8.33
    E. 5. 3.87. 4.49
    I have contemplated this for some time. One thing I wondered about was if the rates of clocks varied according to their distance from the sun, then why would the time of the third planet from the sun be the significant time? It seems as though a time
    associated with the sun itself or an absence of gravitation from the sun would be the time that would be significant and would be a time to which these other rates of time would be converted before using Newton's equations. At any rate I never did
    believe Eddington's proof that Einstein's Relativity was correct.

    Nonsense. If the traveling twin understands relativity, he understands

    AND USEFUL way for the traveling twin to determine the home twin's age
    "right now" is to compute the current time in the home twin's rest frame
    and use that to determine the home twin's age. After all, that is the
    ONLY frame that has relevance for the home twin, including their age.
    This has several properties that your approach does not:
    1) the home twin's age is monotonically increasing at the
    standard rate (1 sec per sec).
    2) the home twin's age never jumps, either forward or backward.
    3) if the traveling twin returns home, this calculation yields
    the correct value as they approach home.

    Note that any notion of "aging" that does not satisfy all three of these
    does not deserve to be called "aging", because those are part and parcel
    of what we mean by a person's age. This of course includes your approach.

    One thing you've never come to terms with, Tom, is that for an

    Nonsense. Any observer who understands relativity KNOWS that their

    I don't dispute that the traveling twin can compute things as you
    suggest. But I do dispute that the result can be called "the home twin's current age", or "the home twin's current age according to the traveling
    twin". Because that computation does not deserve to be called "aging" at
    all -- it is something else, and whatever it is, it is essentially useless.

    I quit. I have no interest in continuing to argue about words.

    NOT true at all! During EACH of the traveler's two inertial legs of his

    Each of those PIP's disagree with the home twin's view of her age then,
    and they CANNOT decide to accept HER view, without contradicting what
    they conclude purely from the fact that light travels at 186,000 miles
    per second in their inertial frame. And if they reject the fact that
    that light in their frame travels at 186,000 miles per second, they are rejecting the theory of special relativity itself. The traveler spends
    MANY years of his life being stationary (at different times) with
    respect to EACH of those PIP's ... it makes no sense at all for him to
    disagree with them during those long periods of time.

    So let me start from the beginning, and do it properly this time.
    There may be typos, but not too many, I hope.

    and let's call the ground frame K(t,x,y).

    We have clocks showing coordinate time at the origin of the frames.

    The events of interest is E₀, the ball is dropped from the ceiling,
    and E₁, the ball hits the floor in the airplane.

    (use fixed width font!)

    At E₀ we have:

    K':-------------------|--------------------> x' -> v

    K :-------------------|---------------------> x

    Fig. 1.
    ---------
    The x-axis and the x'-axis are coincident.
    At t = t' = 0 The origins and the y-axis and the y'-axis are
    also coincident. We choose z = z' = 0 for all t, and forget the z axis.

    The coordinates of the ball at event E₀ are:
    In K: t = t₀ = 0 s, x = x₀ = 0 m, y = h
    In K': t' = t₀' = 0 s, x' = x₀' = 0 m, y' = h
    ______

    At E₁ we have:

    When the ball hits the floor, t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    and x' = x₁' = 0 m

    y y'

    K':----------|----------o--------> x' -> v
    x₂' 0
    K :----------|----------|---------> x
    0 x₁
    Fig. 2.
    ---------

    So the coordinates of the ball at the event E₁ are:
    In K':
    t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    x' = x₁' = 0 m
    In K:
    t₁ = γ(t₁'+ v⋅x₁'/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₁ = γ(x₁'+ v⋅t₁') = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    We can find the velocity of the ball:
    =====================================
    In the airplane frame:
    ----------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is Vh' = x₁'/t₁' = 0
    The vertical velocity component: Vv'(t') = gt'
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hits the floor:
    Vv'(t₁') = gt₁'= √(2gh)

    In the ground frame:
    ---------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is
    Vh = x₁/t₁ = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = v

    The acceleration g of the ball transformed to to K is a = g/γ²
    The vertical velocity component: Vv(t) = a⋅t = (g/γ²)⋅t
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hit the floor:
    Vv(t₁) = (g/γ²)⋅t₁ = (g/γ²)⋅γ⋅√(2h/g) = √(2gh)/γ

    The apparent rate of clocks in K' as observed in K.
    ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K' shows t₀' = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀ = 0.
    When this clock shows t₁' = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K showing γ⋅√(2h/g).

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f' = (t₁'-t₀')/(t₁-t₀) = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₁'-t₀') is a proper time because both t₀' and t₁'
    are read off the same clock, while t₀ and t₁ are read off two
    different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    The apparent rate of clocks in K as observed in K'.
    ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K shows t₀ = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀' = 0.

    See fig2:
    We can define an event E₂:
    When this clock at x₂ = 0 shows t₂ = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K'.
    The coordinates in K' are:
    t₂' = γ(t₂ - v⋅x₂/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₂' = γ(x₂ - v⋅t₂) = -γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f = (t₂-t₀)/(t₂'-t₀') = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    That is wrong. The vertical speed in the ground frame is

    The clock in the airplane and the clock on the ground run
    at the same rate.


    So let me start from the beginning, and do it properly this time.
    There may be typos, but not too many, I hope.

    First, remember what a frame of reference is.
    The concept you must know is coordinate time.
    You can image a three dimensional array of clocks.
    These clocks are synchronous, which mean that at
    any time all the clocks are showing the same.

    All frames of reference are equal, and since we
    use second as the time unit, the clocks (and coordinate time)
    are SI-clocks. And since the clocks in all frames of reference
    are equal SI-clocks, THEY ALL RUN AT THE SAME RATE.

    Let's call the rest frame of the airplane K'(t',x',y'),
    and let's call the ground frame K(t,x,y).

    We have clocks showing coordinate time at the origin of the frames.

    The events of interest is E₀, the ball is dropped from the ceiling,
    and E₁, the ball hits the floor in the airplane.

    (use fixed width font!)

    At E₀ we have:
    y,y'
    |
    o-h
    |
    |
    K':-------------------|--------------------> x' -> v
    0
    K :-------------------|---------------------> x
    0
    Fig. 1.
    ---------
    The x-axis and the x'-axis are coincident.
    At t = t' = 0 The origins and the y-axis and the y'-axis are
    also coincident. We choose z = z' = 0 for all t, and forget the z axis. >>
    The coordinates of the ball at event E₀ are:
    In K: t = t₀ = 0 s, x = x₀ = 0 m, y = h
    In K': t' = t₀' = 0 s, x' = x₀' = 0 m, y' = h
    ______

    At E₁ we have:

    When the ball hits the floor, t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    and x' = x₁' = 0 m

    y y'
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    K':----------|----------o--------> x' -> v
    x₂' 0
    K :----------|----------|---------> x
    0 x₁
    Fig. 2.
    ---------

    So the coordinates of the ball at the event E₁ are:
    In K':
    t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    x' = x₁' = 0 m
    In K:
    t₁ = γ(t₁'+ v⋅x₁'/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₁ = γ(x₁'+ v⋅t₁') = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    We can find the velocity of the ball:
    =====================================
    In the airplane frame:
    ----------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is Vh' = x₁'/t₁' = 0
    The vertical velocity component: Vv'(t') = gt'
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hits the floor:
    Vv'(t₁') = gt₁'= √(2gh)

    In the ground frame:
    ---------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is
    Vh = x₁/t₁ = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = v

    The acceleration g of the ball transformed to to K is a = g/γ²
    The vertical velocity component: Vv(t) = a⋅t = (g/γ²)⋅t
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hit the floor:
    Vv(t₁) = (g/γ²)⋅t₁ = (g/γ²)⋅γ⋅√(2h/g) = √(2gh)/γ

    The apparent rate of clocks in K' as observed in K.
    ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K' shows t₀' = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀ = 0.
    When this clock shows t₁' = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K showing γ⋅√(2h/g).

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f' = (t₁'-t₀')/(t₁-t₀) = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₁'-t₀') is a proper time because both t₀' and t₁'
    are read off the same clock, while t₀ and t₁ are read off two
    different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    The apparent rate of clocks in K as observed in K'.
    ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K shows t₀ = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀' = 0.

    See fig2:
    We can define an event E₂:
    When this clock at x₂ = 0 shows t₂ = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K'.
    The coordinates in K' are:
    t₂' = γ(t₂ - v⋅x₂/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₂' = γ(x₂ - v⋅t₂) = -γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f = (t₂-t₀)/(t₂'-t₀') = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₂-t₀) is a proper time because both t₀ and t₂
    are read off the same clock, while t₀' and t₂' are read off two
    different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    So you believe that "according to modern interpretation of science"
    (SR), your speed relative to an aircraft can make the clock in
    the aircraft run slow.
    The clock in the airplane does have an actual rate. Einstein said the clock was slower than a clock on the ground. Scientists put clocks in airplanes making transcontinental flights and said that when the clocks arrived at their destinations, they
    showed less time than an identical clock on the ground. Then Hafele and Keating put clocks in jet airplanes that were going from one continent to another and said if the airplane went around the world one way, the clock on the airplane would show less
    time than a clock on the ground, if it went around the world the other way, it showed more time. None of that makes any difference to the Galilean transformation equations. Whatever the faster or slower clock reads, you just make another set of
    Galilean transformation equations with different variables for time and velocity than was used for the clock on the ground, and the distances remain the same. Einstein was the one who set up the problem. He said the clock on the airplane was slower, so
    that is the way I worked the problem.
    That is of course an idiotic idea. An arbitrary observer's
    speed relative to the airplane can't affect the clock in the aircraft
    or the speed of the falling ball measured with that clock.

    But the speed of the observer can affect the observer's observations
    of the clock and the speed of the ball. In our case, the ground
    observer's speed relative to the aircraft will make the clock in
    the aircraft appear to run slow, and the vertical speed of the ball
    will appear to be slow.
    Einstein did not say the clock appeared slower. He said it was slower. Then he gave an equation that showed what the time of the slower clock would be when the time of the clock on the ground was t. Then the scientists who put clocks in airplanes
    making transcontinental flights said the clocks showed less time after their flights than a clock on the ground. Then Hafele and Keating said that if they flew clocks in jet airplanes around the world one way, they showed less time than a clock on the
    ground. If they flew a clock around the world the other way, it showed more time than a clock on the ground. So let's just go with Einstein's original idea, that a moving clock would be slower.
    OK, then according to Einstein, we have a clock on an airplane that shows (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) when a clock on the ground shows t. The airplane travels 100 miles. The pilot of the airplane looks at his clock and sees that he traveled 100 miles in
    a time of (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2). The observer on the ground sees that the airplane traveled a distance of 100 miles in a time of t. 100/[(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)] is a faster speed than 100/t because t is more time than (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/
    c^2). But the Lorentz equations show that the observer on the ground and the pilot of the airplane get the same speed for the airplane, which, as I pointed out before, is a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined unto
    themselves. We common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he gets a faster speed for the airplane.
    The same principle is true with regard to the ball. If the ball falls ten feet according to the time of the clock on the ground, its average speed is 10/t. If it falls ten feet according to the time of the clock on the airplane, its average speed is 10/
    [(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)], a faster speed because t is more time than (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).

    And the aircraft's speed relative to the clock on the ground
    will make the clock on the ground appear to run slow when observed
    in the plain.

    plane.
    No, Paul, what I was pointing out is that there is something called reality. We common people live in reality. If the clock in the airplane is slower, it is slower in both frames of reference, and the pilot of the airplane gets a faster speed for the
    airplane in both frames of reference.
    This should be obvious to any thinking person:
    An observer's state of motion cant affect the observed object,
    but the observers state of motion can affect the observer's
    observations of the observed object.

    If SR said otherwise, you would never have heard of it,
    because it would be inconsistent and dead.

    So you are saying that anyone who believes that the pilot gets a faster speed for the airplane is dead? I think you would have to kill a lot of people before that would be true.

    Send it to Congress. They will send you some money. Just tell them you believe in Einstein's theory.
    Tell them that you believe that the battle to save Einstein's theory is as important as the war in Ukraine or the war between Israel and Hamas.

    The clock in the airplane does have an actual rate. Einstein said the clock was slower than a clock on the ground. Scientists put clocks in airplanes making transcontinental flights and said that when the clocks arrived at their destinations, they
    showed less time than an identical clock on the ground. Then Hafele and Keating put clocks in jet airplanes that were going from one continent to another and said if the airplane went around the world one way, the clock on the airplane would show less
    time than a clock on the ground, if it went around the world the other way, it showed more time. None of that makes any difference to the Galilean transformation equations. Whatever the faster or slower clock reads, you just make another set of Galilean
    transformation equations with different variables for time and velocity than was used for the clock on the ground, and the distances remain the same. Einstein was the one who set up the problem. He said the clock on the airplane was slower, so that is
    the way I worked the problem.
    https://paulba.no/paper/Hafele_Keating.pdf

    In the H&K experiment the clock in the west going aeroplane
    gained 275 ns on the clock on the ground, while the clock in
    the east going aeroplane lost 40 ns on the ground clock.

    Did Einstein say that a clock in an east going airplane
    was slower than a clock on the ground, but a clock in
    a west going airplane was faster than a clock on the ground?

    No, he said neither.

    https://paulba.no/pdf/H&K_like.pdf
    All three clocks are equal, and run at their normal rate.

    Look:
    One clock is travelling westwards, another clock is travelling
    eastwards, both clocks are travelling at the same altitude,
    and at the same constant speed relative to the ground.
    The third clock is stationary at the ground.

    The clocks are Cs clocks, and the reference 'oscillator' is
    the photon associated with the hyperfine transition of the Cs atom.
    The frequency of the photon is 9192631770 Hz.
    In an atomic clock the Cs atoms are free-falling.
    So how do you think that the Cs atom can 'feel' if it is moving
    westwards or eastwards or is stationary, and can 'feel' at
    which altitude it is, so that it can change it's rate accordingly?

    It can't. So the frequency of the 'oscillator' is always 9192631770 Hz.

    What you and other cranks can't understand is:
    When two equal clocks which always run at their proper rate
    travel between the same two events, along different paths
    through space-time, their proper time (what the clocks show)
    may be different.

    And if you think this is impossible, the Hafele & Keating
    is the experiment that shows it is possible.
    Einstein did not say the clock appeared slower. He said it was slower.
    It is quite common that physicists say that that a clock at higher
    altitude is running faster, or that a moving clock is running slower.
    But this is only sloppy language, they know that the clocks are running
    at the same rate, but are omitting the "apparent", or "as observed
    from the ground frame". They assume that the readers will know this,
    which they do if they know the physics of the last century.

    But cranks stuck in the 19. century won't.

    https://paulba.no/pdf/Mutual_time_dilation.pdf

    Einstein knew about mutual time dilation.

    Do your really think that he meant that two clocks
    both can run slower than the other?

    Einstein definitely said the moving clock was slower. Read his book. Then scientists claimed to have experimented with cesium clocks on airplanes showing that one clock showed less time than the other. Now as an ignorant common person, I have no way
    of knowing exactly what scientists lie about with regard to their experiments. I just work the math that would describe what they are saying, and it all relates back to what I originally thought back in high school. A person with a slower clock gets
    faster speeds for anything moving if he uses the time of that clock. As I said, Isaac Newton was fairly good at mathematics, and he would not work the problem the way Einstein did. He would have worked it the way I did if someone had told him, We have
    proven by experiment that a moving clock is slower. Newton used the Galilean transformation equations, which show that if a clock in a frame of reference is slower, it does not appear faster from the other frame of reference or any of these other
    miracles that scientists tell us about.

    That link you provided sounds like complete gibberish to me.

    The explanation of the twin "paradox" is simple: The two twins MUST
    agree about their respective ages at their reunion, and each twin,
    whenever they are NOT accelerating, correctly concludes (via the time
    dilation equation (TDE)) that the other twin is ageing more slowly, by
    the gamma factor

    gamma = 1 / [sqrt { 1 - ( v * v ) } ] .

    The only way that can be true is if the traveling twin (he) concludes
    that the home twin (she) instantaneously ages by a given, definite large
    amount during his instantaneous velocity change.

    Let us now consider a seconds-clock which is permanently situated at the origin (x'=0) of K'. t' =0 and t'=`1 are two successive ticks of this clock. The first and fourth equations of the Lorentz transformation give for these two ticks t=0 and t' = 1/
    sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)As judged from K, the clock is moving with the velocity v; as judged from this reference-body, the time which elapses between two strokes of the clock is not one second, but 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) seconds, a somewhat larger time. As a
    consequence of its motion the clock goes more slowly than when at rest. (Relativity, the Special and General Theories, A. Einstein)

    I would ignore Einsteins “predictions” for the mercury anomalous preccession.
    He only knew the amount for mercury and fiddled his formula to match that observed.
    Notice his formula doesn’t do so well for other planets. A fact relativists
    like to ignore.
    See:
    https://paulba.no/pdf/GRPerihelionAdvance.pdf
    Chapter 3. Equation (8), Table 3.

    Mercury 42.98"/century
    To start with Mars preccesion rate is very unstable and is hard to calculate.
    Equation (8) works equally well for all planets.
    Mars: 1.35"/century
    Which is why they pretend Mars preccession rate is 1.3 arc seconds per C When it probably is more like 2.5
    The other planets preccesion rates fare less well under GR
    Venus observed is 8 (GR predicted 8.6)
    Earth observed is 5 (GR predicts 3.8)
    https://arxiv.org/pdf/0802.0176.pdf
    See Table 1:
    Venus observed is 8.6247"/century (GR predicted 8.6247"/century)
    Earth observed is 3.8387"/century (GR predicts 3.8387"/century)

    However if one uses a more correct classical formula r 1/(r+3R)^2 based on perehilion
    not semi major axis as Albert incorrectly did. Then classical theory predicts more accurately
    than GR. {where r is perehilion distance and R is radius of sun}
    Mercury:
    Perihelion distance r = 4.60011E10 m
    Solar radius R = 696340E3 m


    Planet. Obs.— GR ——Classical
    Merc—-43.1——43.5 —-43.24
    Venus—8———-8.6——-8.33
    Earth— 5———- 3.87—-4.49

    If the equation is r/(r+3R)^2 we get
    the number 1.9890E-11 1/m

    What does this number mean?
    How do you get the numbers below?
    Is the equation wrong?
    In that case, what should it be?
    Please explain!

    As follows:

    Merc. 43.24
    V. 8.33
    E. 4.49
    Sorry lost in translation from paper to google post
    It should read 1/(r+3R)^2
    You will get 4.324 x 10-16 for mercury
    And if you calculate all 4 planets you will see the progression clearly.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/xht/twinsparadox/twinsparadox.xht


    That link you provided sounds like complete gibberish to me.

    The explanation of the twin "paradox" is simple:  The two twins MUST
    agree about their respective ages at their reunion, and each twin,
    whenever they are NOT accelerating, correctly concludes (via the time dilation equation (TDE)) that the other twin is ageing more slowly, by
    the gamma factor

      gamma = 1 / [sqrt { 1  -  ( v * v ) } ] .

    The only way that can be true is if the traveling twin (he) concludes
    that the home twin (she) instantaneously ages by a given, definite large amount during his instantaneous velocity change.


    Right. That's because the acceleration at turnaround is infinite.
    With a finite acceleration it becomes clear what's happening.

    My simulation of the "twin paradox" make it possible to
    see what happens from both twins point of view.

    https://paulba.no/twins.html

    Below is a screenshot of a run of the simulation.
    The travelling twin (B) is accelerating (~2g) in the beginning,
    at the turnaround and at the end so that she is stationary
    relative to the home twin (A) when she is back.

    The plots show the travelling twins view.
    The plot "Clock A as observed by B " (lower left)
    shows the ageing of A as observed by B.
    Note the fast (steep) ageing when the rocket is burning at turnaround.
    With instant change of velocity, the plot would be vertical (instant)
    at turnaround.

    Your logic is biased flawed and incorrect at best. Notice
    Einstein didn’t even do the calculations for the preccession.
    Various others did using 1/r^2. But they added to the calculation
    by translating the oroginal values into various different formats
    Of arcseconds, radians, per orbit per century etc.
    If neccesary my original calculations for century could be
    presented in any format correctly. Howso?
    Because my formula isn’t based on fakery and wild goblins
    in the 17th dimension as relativity is...but on a simple understanding
    of the mechanism of how orbital paths are tugged at by the Sun
    as they make their nearest approach to the sun.
    The same happens in galaxy rotation curves.
    They don’t fit Newtonian assumptions...not because of dark
    matter....but because the same Newtonian formulae for orbital speed
    are incorrectly placing all the mass at the theoretical Center.
    And why is the radius of the Sun in the equation?
    It doesn't affect the planet's orbit at all.

    Why is radius of sun in the formula?
    Because the source of the anomalous precession comes physically
    from the planet as it makes its closest approach to the Sun.
    That’s when the suns mass subtends the largest angle in the sky
    and where Newton’s assumption that all the mass of the sun is
    assumed to be at its Center for orbital speed and path calculations
    is shown to be an incorrect assumption.
    This additional 1/r^2 ( which Einstein also did but incorrectly at
    the semi major axis) corrects the failure of Newton’s formulae
    for orbital mechanics.


    "More correct classical formula " indeed! :-D

    How did you fail to see that the formula is nonsense?

    A formula that accurately predicts the observations is nonsense!!
    That’s nonsense Paul. You just don’t like the fact that a classical
    model can predict preccesion rates more accurately than relativity.

    Pure ignorance?

    Sour grapes Paul. It correctly predicts the anomalous preccession.
    Better than Relativity. I’ve supplied the formula, it supplies the predictions
    and those are confirmed by the data.
    If you don’t like it...prove its predictions are incorrect.

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that
    the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency >>> if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations
    to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject
    to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases
    the atoms ‘ticking’.

    So clocks at higher altitude in a plane will be subject to
    lower g-force and will tick faster than clocks on the ground, right?


    No I’m suggesting that this horizontal force is not force due to gravity.
    But a seperate force from horizontal acceleration .
    Isn’t the formula for this f=ma?

    I see. The horizontal force driving the plane at constant
    speed through the air will give the plane a constant
    horizontal acceleration. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?


    Im assuming that Hafael Keating observed that the eastward clock ticks slower.
    That’s my reading of the wiki reference.
    But to answer ‘why’...I assume the speed relative to the ground is the same for both
    planes in the experiment. Let’s call it speed x.
    The earth rotates eastward at 1600k/ hr.
    Close enough.

    So the zero point of reference is the earth observer travelling at 1600 k/hr relative
    to the earths Center of mass.
    Then relative to this earth center reference, the eastward plane travels at
    1600 +x kilometers per hour. And the westward plane travels at 1600-x kilometers
    per hour.

    A reasonable speed for x is 800 km/h.

    The east going plane travels at 2400 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The ground clock travels at 1600 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The west going plane travels at 800 km/h in the ECI-frame.


    The eastward plane therefore experiences greater F than earth observer And the westward plane lesser F than the the earth observer.
    And seeing as a classical model uses resonance as the explanation
    for this different ticking rates of the caesium atoms natural resonant frequency.
    Then the westward clock has less F from horizontal
    speed than the earth observer and the westward plane has a greater F than
    the earth observer. Which accounts for the 3 different rates of ticking. (Don’t forget...the earth observers ‘ticking rate’ is in part due to Gravity force
    but also in part due to its rotational/ horizontal speed of 1600k/hr )

    I see.
    Since the east going clock runs slower than the ground clock,
    and the ground clock runs slower than the west going clock,
    it is obvious that it is the speed in the ECI-frame that is
    the major cause for the different clock rates.

    So we can conclude:
    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the east going
    clock than for the ground clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the east going plane through the air at 800 km/h is higher than
    the force to drive the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h.

    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the ground clock
    than for the west going clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h is higher than the force
    to drive the west going plane through the air at 800 km/h.

    The east going clock is more compressed than the ground clock,
    and will run slower than the ground clock.

    Right?

    But don’t forget the Gravity force pushing you down is a seperate source of
    force from the F force pushing against you as you move horizontally. I’m not sure
    what word you relativists prefer but probably inertia or momentum would be appropriate?

    Air drag.
    Air Drag!!😂🤣You relativists. Such purveyors of BS.
    Did I mention air drag?
    No.
    You did.
    You forgot. The earth rotates.
    I know in relativity land that you guys think the earth doesn’t rotate. But
    sorry...it does.
    In which case the eastward plane travels faster relative to the earth Center frame.
    And the westward plane slower
    If you knew any maths...then even if the planes speed was 800k/hr it would still
    be less than the earth observers speed 1600 k/hr speed.
    Which means that the eastward plane travels at a higher speed than the earth observer, and the westward plane at a lower speed than the observer.
    And seeing as f=ma then the force on the westward plane is less than the earth observer and the force on the eastward plane is higher.
    Which in turn means that due to f=ma the eastward travelling clock will
    run slower and the westward clock will run faster than the earth observers clock
    Due to mechanical resonance.
    As observed in Hafael,Keating.
    Do the maths Paul.
    Lou, I wonder if you have published any papers or books because I would like to read them as I agree with much of what you say and you know more about physics than I do. I agree that H/K is not correctly explained by relativity and cannot be. However, I'
    m not sure you are correct about the speeds of the planes. I believe you are wrong because of Galileo's concept of shared speed. Each plane shares the velocity of the source or starting point so they have the same velocity relative to the surface and to
    the atmosphere. There is no difference in force.

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that >>> the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency >>> if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations
    to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject
    to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases
    the atoms ‘ticking’.

    So clocks at higher altitude in a plane will be subject to
    lower g-force and will tick faster than clocks on the ground, right?


    No I’m suggesting that this horizontal force is not force due to gravity.
    But a seperate force from horizontal acceleration .
    Isn’t the formula for this f=ma?

    I see. The horizontal force driving the plane at constant
    speed through the air will give the plane a constant
    horizontal acceleration. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?


    Im assuming that Hafael Keating observed that the eastward clock ticks slower.
    That’s my reading of the wiki reference.
    But to answer ‘why’...I assume the speed relative to the ground is the same for both
    planes in the experiment. Let’s call it speed x.
    The earth rotates eastward at 1600k/ hr.
    Close enough.

    So the zero point of reference is the earth observer travelling at 1600 k/hr relative
    to the earths Center of mass.
    Then relative to this earth center reference, the eastward plane travels at
    1600 +x kilometers per hour. And the westward plane travels at 1600-x kilometers
    per hour.

    A reasonable speed for x is 800 km/h.

    The east going plane travels at 2400 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The ground clock travels at 1600 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The west going plane travels at 800 km/h in the ECI-frame.


    The eastward plane therefore experiences greater F than earth observer And the westward plane lesser F than the the earth observer.
    And seeing as a classical model uses resonance as the explanation
    for this different ticking rates of the caesium atoms natural resonant frequency.
    Then the westward clock has less F from horizontal
    speed than the earth observer and the westward plane has a greater F than
    the earth observer. Which accounts for the 3 different rates of ticking.
    (Don’t forget...the earth observers ‘ticking rate’ is in part due to Gravity force
    but also in part due to its rotational/ horizontal speed of 1600k/hr )

    I see.
    Since the east going clock runs slower than the ground clock,
    and the ground clock runs slower than the west going clock,
    it is obvious that it is the speed in the ECI-frame that is
    the major cause for the different clock rates.

    So we can conclude:
    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the east going

    than for the west going clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h is higher than the force
    to drive the west going plane through the air at 800 km/h.

    The east going clock is more compressed than the ground clock,

    to the atmosphere. There is no difference in force.

    I have only assumed the speed of the planes. Hafael Keating dont supply
    any info on plane speeds. So I looked up passenger jet speeds on Google
    and it’s actually around 550 mph.(880). But this is google groups not Journal of physics. And H-K was written in 1971 so I opted for an even 800.
    If I was to publish, which I don’t, seeing as the pro relativist editors
    only publish Harry Potter fantasy science, I would probably have to find the exact
    1971 airspeed. Problem is landing, take off, routes etc are also
    all variable and complex. Notice even H-K admit relativity predictions have large
    errors of 10%! (And the final total lost observed for the eastward plane is 1/3 more than
    predicted by relativity!! That’s an error of 33% for Einsteins theory.
    Not surprising relativists don’t mention this failure.)

    Regarding your point about the speeds relative to earth etc.
    My take on it is as follows: The earth rotates eastward at 1600kph.
    Relative to the earth Center. (Ie if you were in solar frame watching
    the earth it would be rotating at 1600kph eastward.) That HAS to be
    taken into account. Especially considering it’s considered “acceleration” in current physics.
    So a plane that flies at 800 kph eastward has to be travelling at 800+1600=2400 relative to the earth Center. Thats why NASA
    launches rockets always to east. They use rocket thrust+ earths
    1600kph rotational velocity to achieve higher orbital escape
    velocity. Which means the westward plane is technically only
    travelling at1600-800=800 relative to the earth center.
    So relative to the earths mass that there-must be three speeds.
    And using this assumption does give a good approximation to
    the observed various tick rates. So my hunch is...if the theory
    is based as best as possible on classical physics and gives an
    accurate prediction...it must be a correct assumption I make
    about the speeds and its relationship to force etc.
    So...Assuming plane speed 800, and assuming that earth rotates
    around in its own Center at 1600kph:

    Observer rotational speed travelling east must be at 1600
    East plane then has to be at 2400
    West plane at 800
    I can’t think of why it could be anything else. But would
    be interested to see why you think it couldn’t.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a
    clock in a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get
    a faster speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special
    Relativity show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on
    the ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for
    x and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'.
    So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate
    that there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    Yes, relativity does not describe physical reality. Einstein was very confused. I don't know why you can't "learn" (be indoctrinated = believe in fairy tales). It's been noticed all along by many excellent scientists who have shown that relativity is
    a joke/swindle (e.g. Essen). It is amusing that they can accept "really weird" "science." Einstein had much funding behind him. I wonder what speed the satellite is really moving. People who pretend to do miracles are wizards, not scientists. Science has
    no need for "miracles" (relativity).
    Well, I have always wondered about this. I read Einstein's book, and he gave a fairly good explanation of the Galilean transformation equations, which were used to describe relativity before 1887. Then he said, the Galilean transformation equations
    cannot describe the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment. It appeared to me that they could. What you have to do is believe what the equations say and follow the axioms of algebra. If there is an equation that says t'=t, then t' cannot be used to
    represent the time of a clock that is slower than a clock that shows t. You have to use an entirely different set of Galilean transformation equations with different variables for time and velocity than v, t, and t' in the equations, x' = x - vt. and t'=
    t, the same way you would use two different sets of Galilean transformation equations for time based on the rotation of earth and time based on the rotation of Mars. You may get a close approximation doing what Lorentz and Einstein did, but, why do it
    that way?
    But, then too, why call what these guys are doing relativity? If their equations have something to do with electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic waves, call it that, but Galileo's equations are the ones that work for relativity.
    The Lorentz transformations basically negate relative motion, and that is unnecessary because the speed of light is determined by the medium and by the relative motion of the sink or observer.

    Don't you see how ridiculous this is?
    An equation for the perihelion advance of a planet,
    which contains orbital data for the planet, must
    obviously give the advance per orbit, not per century.

    No answer?
    Don't you think it is ridiculous that your equation give
    the advance after a number of orbits which isn't in your formula?


    Your logic is biased flawed and incorrect at best. Notice
    Einstein didn’t even do the calculations for the preccession.
    Various others did using 1/r^2. But they added to the calculation
    by translating the oroginal values into various different formats
    Of arcseconds, radians, per orbit per century etc.

    Gobbledegook!
    Did you try to say something about the logic that shows
    that your 'formula' is nonsense?


    This is GR's prediction for the perihelion advance of ANY planet
    orbiting any star.
    (Ignoring the mass of planet relative to the mass of star)

    δφ = 6πGM/a(1−e²)c²
    where:
    δφ Perihelion advance per orbit [rad/orbit]
    G gravitational constant [m³/kg⋅s²]
    M mass of star [kg]
    a semi major axis of orbit [m]
    e eccentricity of orbit
    c speed of light

    The equation shows the advance for one orbit
    irrespective of which planet it is.

    The advance per orbit will:
    Increase with the mass of the star.
    Decrease with the semi major axis.
    Increase with the eccentricity.

    According to your equation 1/(r+3R)² the advance is independent of
    the mass of the star and the eccentricity of the orbit.
    And what's more, it shows the advance as a number per square km,
    and the advance is after a number of orbits which are not
    included in the equation. You have to guess.

    Why do you guess the number of orbits per century?
    Why not per decennium or millennium?
    There is nothing in the equation to determine which.

    And from where did you get the factor 1E17 km²⋅century per arcsec
    you have to multiply the number per square km with to get "/century ?


    Because my formula is based on a simple understanding
    of the mechanism of how orbital paths are tugged at by the Sun
    as they make their nearest approach to the sun.

    I see.
    You claim Newton was wrong since it according to Newton
    is no perihelion advance of a single planet orbiting a star.

    We can agree about that.

    So which theory of physics, based on a simple understanding
    of the mechanism of how orbital paths are tugged at by the Sun
    as they make their nearest approach to the sun, are you
    referring to?

    Can you show the equations which will show how a planet will
    orbit the star?

    And why is the radius of the Sun in the equation?
    It doesn't affect the planet's orbit at all.


    Why is radius of sun in the formula?
    Because the source of the anomalous precession comes physically
    from the planet as it makes its closest approach to the Sun.
    That’s when the suns mass subtends the largest angle in the sky
    and where Newton’s assumption that all the mass of the sun is
    assumed to be at its Center for orbital speed and path calculations
    is shown to be an incorrect assumption.
    This additional 1/r^2 ( which Einstein also did but incorrectly at
    the semi major axis) corrects the failure of Newton’s formulae
    for orbital mechanics.

    So can you please show the equations for your theory
    where the radius of the star affects the orbits of planets,
    but the mass of the star doesn't?

    I realize now that most of what I have written in this thread
    is very imprecise, and something is plain wrong.
    (I tend to be a bit too fast sometimes.)

    The big error I made was too claim that the vertical speed of
    the ball would be the same when measured in the two frames.
    That is wrong. The vertical speed in the ground frame is
    slower by 1/γ compared to the airplane frame.

    Which was what Robert claimed, but for the wrong reason.
    The clock in the airplane and the clock on the ground run
    at the same rate.


    So let me start from the beginning, and do it properly this time. There may be typos, but not too many, I hope.

    First, remember what a frame of reference is.
    The concept you must know is coordinate time.
    You can image a three dimensional array of clocks.
    These clocks are synchronous, which mean that at
    any time all the clocks are showing the same.

    All frames of reference are equal, and since we
    use second as the time unit, the clocks (and coordinate time)
    are SI-clocks. And since the clocks in all frames of reference
    are equal SI-clocks, THEY ALL RUN AT THE SAME RATE.

    Let's call the rest frame of the airplane K'(t',x',y'),
    and let's call the ground frame K(t,x,y).

    We have clocks showing coordinate time at the origin of the frames.

    The events of interest is E₀, the ball is dropped from the ceiling, and E₁, the ball hits the floor in the airplane.

    (use fixed width font!)

    At E₀ we have:
    y,y'
    |
    o-h
    |
    |
    K':-------------------|--------------------> x' -> v
    0
    K :-------------------|---------------------> x
    0
    Fig. 1.
    ---------
    The x-axis and the x'-axis are coincident.
    At t = t' = 0 The origins and the y-axis and the y'-axis are
    also coincident. We choose z = z' = 0 for all t, and forget the z axis.

    The coordinates of the ball at event E₀ are:
    In K: t = t₀ = 0 s, x = x₀ = 0 m, y = h
    In K': t' = t₀' = 0 s, x' = x₀' = 0 m, y' = h
    ______

    At E₁ we have:

    When the ball hits the floor, t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    and x' = x₁' = 0 m

    y y'
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    K':----------|----------o--------> x' -> v
    x₂' 0
    K :----------|----------|---------> x
    0 x₁
    Fig. 2.
    ---------

    So the coordinates of the ball at the event E₁ are:
    In K':
    t' = t₁' = √(2h/g)
    x' = x₁' = 0 m
    In K:
    t₁ = γ(t₁'+ v⋅x₁'/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₁ = γ(x₁'+ v⋅t₁') = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    We can find the velocity of the ball: =====================================
    In the airplane frame:
    ----------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is Vh' = x₁'/t₁' = 0
    The vertical velocity component: Vv'(t') = gt'
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hits the floor: Vv'(t₁') = gt₁'= √(2gh)

    In the ground frame:
    ---------------------
    The horizontal velocity component is
    Vh = x₁/t₁ = γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = v

    The acceleration g of the ball transformed to to K is a = g/γ²
    The vertical velocity component: Vv(t) = a⋅t = (g/γ²)⋅t
    The vertical velocity component when the ball hit the floor:
    Vv(t₁) = (g/γ²)⋅t₁ = (g/γ²)⋅γ⋅√(2h/g) = √(2gh)/γ

    The apparent rate of clocks in K' as observed in K. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K' shows t₀' = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀ = 0.
    When this clock shows t₁' = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent
    to a coordinate clock in K showing γ⋅√(2h/g).

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f' = (t₁'-t₀')/(t₁-t₀) = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₁'-t₀') is a proper time because both t₀' and t₁' are read off the same clock, while t₀ and t₁ are read off two different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    The apparent rate of clocks in K as observed in K'. ===================================================
    When clock at the origin of K shows t₀ = 0, it will
    be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K showing t₀' = 0.

    See fig2:
    We can define an event E₂:
    When this clock at x₂ = 0 shows t₂ = √(2h/g) it will be adjacent to a coordinate clock in K'.
    The coordinates in K' are:
    t₂' = γ(t₂ - v⋅x₂/c²) = γ⋅√(2h/g)
    x₂' = γ(x₂ - v⋅t₂) = -γ⋅v⋅√(2h/g)

    So as observed from K, the rate of the clock in K' appears to be:
    f = (t₂-t₀)/(t₂'-t₀') = √(2h/g)/γ⋅√(2h/g) = 1/γ

    Note that (t₂-t₀) is a proper time because both t₀ and t₂
    are read off the same clock, while t₀' and t₂' are read off two different coordinate clocks

    The moving clock appears to run slow.

    Well, that is just another miracle that scientists have imagined. I don't really see the need for it. One of the proofs that scientists used to say that Einstein's Theory was true was the perihelion of Mercury. Isaac Newton's absolute time
    interpretation did not quite explain where Mercury was. But, as I said, if Newton had been told that More gravitation would result in a slower clock, I think he could have done the mathematics. In looking at the Lorentz equations, it seemed obvious to me
    how part of them was derived. If we take two sets of Galilean transformation equations,
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    x = x' - m'n'
    y = y'
    z - z'
    n = n'
    Since there is no length contraction in the Galilean transformation equations, we can say
    x - x' = vt
    x -x' = -m'n'
    m'n' = -vt
    Einstein said that the Lorentz equations satisfy the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment because x = ct, x' = ct', where t' was the time of the moving clock. With two sets of Galilean transformation equations we have n' as the time of the
    moving clock.
    x=ct, x' = cn'
    So by either clock, light is traveling at c.
    x'=x-vt
    cn'=ct-vt
    n' = t - vt/c = t - vct/c^2 = t-vx/c^2, Which you might recognize as the numerator of Lorentz's equation for t'. At the speed of Mercury in its orbit, the denominator of Lorentz's equation is irrelevant. If something is traveling at the speed of
    Mercury, the difference between n' in two sets of Galilean transformation equations and t' in Lorentz's equations is the same to several decimal places. Scientists might have used General Relativity rather than Special in making the calculations for the
    orbit of Mercury, but the planet Mercury shows something about relativity. Using the time of the third planet from the sun as a preferred time for the solar system does not really make sense. Mercury moves at 30 miles per second, earth moves at 20 miles
    per second. The further you get from the sun, the slower the planets are in their orbits. Then you have the orbits of the moons and satellites orbiting earth, etc. It seems to me that Newton was correct with his idea of absolute time to the extent that
    there would be a rate of time to which the rates of time of all planets could be converted, but it would be a different time from the time of the third planet from the sun. It seems to me that there would be a time common to the entire solar system to
    which the times of orbiting planets could be converted to agree with Newton's equations. Scientists, of course, are not going to be interested in anything but the miracles that Einstein and his disciples describe, but I think that times of clocks could
    be used to gain a better understanding of gravitation. Scientists are paid trillions of dollars from governments to say that Einstein's equations are correct. I do not really see any reason to think anything is going to change any time soon.
    I would ignore Einsteins “predictions” for the mercury anomalous preccession.
    He only knew the amount for mercury and fiddled his formula to match that observed.
    Notice his formula doesn’t do so well for other planets. A fact relativists
    like to ignore.
    To start with Mars preccesion rate is very unstable and is hard to calculate.
    Which is why they pretend Mars preccession rate is 1.3 arc seconds per C When it probably is more like 2.5
    The other planets preccesion rates fare less well under GR
    Venus observed is 8 (GR predicted 8.6)
    Earth observed is 5 (GR predicts 3.8)

    However if one uses a more correct classical formula 1/(r+3R)^2 based on perehilion
    not semi major axis as Albert incorrectly did. Then classical theory predicts more accurately
    than GR. {where r is perehilion distance and R is radius of sun}
    As follows:
    Planet. Obs. GR Classical
    Merc. 43.1. 43.5 43.24
    V. 8. 8.6. 8.33
    E. 5. 3.87. 4.49
    I have contemplated this for some time. One thing I wondered about was if the rates of clocks varied according to their distance from the sun, then why would the time of the third planet from the sun be the significant time? It seems as though a time
    associated with the sun itself or an absence of gravitation from the sun would be the time that would be significant and would be a time to which these other rates of time would be converted before using Newton's equations. At any rate I never did
    believe Eddington's proof that Einstein's Relativity was correct.
    I believe physics should employ this definition of time derived from the speed formula: Time= Distance/ Speed, or more generally, Time= Change/Rate. For time itself to change all rates of change would have to change in concert and relative motion per se
    is not going to do that. Nothing is. Time is universal.

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that >>> the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency
    if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations
    to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject
    to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases
    the atoms ‘ticking’.

    So clocks at higher altitude in a plane will be subject to
    lower g-force and will tick faster than clocks on the ground, right?


    No I’m suggesting that this horizontal force is not force due to gravity.
    But a seperate force from horizontal acceleration .
    Isn’t the formula for this f=ma?

    I see. The horizontal force driving the plane at constant
    speed through the air will give the plane a constant
    horizontal acceleration. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?


    Im assuming that Hafael Keating observed that the eastward clock ticks slower.
    That’s my reading of the wiki reference.
    But to answer ‘why’...I assume the speed relative to the ground is the same for both
    planes in the experiment. Let’s call it speed x.
    The earth rotates eastward at 1600k/ hr.
    Close enough.

    So the zero point of reference is the earth observer travelling at 1600 k/hr relative
    to the earths Center of mass.
    Then relative to this earth center reference, the eastward plane travels at
    1600 +x kilometers per hour. And the westward plane travels at 1600-x kilometers
    per hour.

    A reasonable speed for x is 800 km/h.

    The east going plane travels at 2400 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The ground clock travels at 1600 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The west going plane travels at 800 km/h in the ECI-frame.


    The eastward plane therefore experiences greater F than earth observer
    And the westward plane lesser F than the the earth observer.
    And seeing as a classical model uses resonance as the explanation for this different ticking rates of the caesium atoms natural resonant frequency.
    Then the westward clock has less F from horizontal
    speed than the earth observer and the westward plane has a greater F than
    the earth observer. Which accounts for the 3 different rates of ticking.
    (Don’t forget...the earth observers ‘ticking rate’ is in part due to Gravity force
    but also in part due to its rotational/ horizontal speed of 1600k/hr )

    I see.
    Since the east going clock runs slower than the ground clock,
    and the ground clock runs slower than the west going clock,
    it is obvious that it is the speed in the ECI-frame that is
    the major cause for the different clock rates.

    So we can conclude:
    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the east going
    clock than for the ground clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the east going plane through the air at 800 km/h is higher than
    the force to drive the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h.

    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the ground clock
    than for the west going clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h is higher than the force
    to drive the west going plane through the air at 800 km/h.

    The east going clock is more compressed than the ground clock,
    and will run slower than the ground clock.
    The ground clock is more compressed than the west going clock,
    and will run slower than the west going clock.

    Right?

    But don’t forget the Gravity force pushing you down is a seperate source of
    force from the F force pushing against you as you move horizontally. I’m not sure
    what word you relativists prefer but probably inertia or momentum would
    be appropriate?

    Air drag.
    Air Drag!!😂🤣You relativists. Such purveyors of BS.
    Did I mention air drag?
    No.
    You did.
    You forgot. The earth rotates.
    I know in relativity land that you guys think the earth doesn’t rotate. But
    sorry...it does.
    In which case the eastward plane travels faster relative to the earth Center frame.
    And the westward plane slower
    If you knew any maths...then even if the planes speed was 800k/hr it would still
    be less than the earth observers speed 1600 k/hr speed.
    Which means that the eastward plane travels at a higher speed than the earth
    observer, and the westward plane at a lower speed than the observer.
    And seeing as f=ma then the force on the westward plane is less than the earth observer and the force on the eastward plane is higher.
    Which in turn means that due to f=ma the eastward travelling clock will run slower and the westward clock will run faster than the earth observers clock
    Due to mechanical resonance.
    As observed in Hafael,Keating.
    Do the maths Paul.
    Lou, I wonder if you have published any papers or books because I would like to read them as I agree with much of what you say and you know more about physics than I do. I agree that H/K is not correctly explained by relativity and cannot be. However,
    I'm not sure you are correct about the speeds of the planes. I believe you are wrong because of Galileo's concept of shared speed. Each plane shares the velocity of the source or starting point so they have the same velocity relative to the surface and
    to the atmosphere. There is no difference in force.
    I have only assumed the speed of the planes. Hafael Keating dont supply
    any info on plane speeds. So I looked up passenger jet speeds on Google
    and it’s actually around 550 mph.(880). But this is google groups not Journal
    of physics. And H-K was written in 1971 so I opted for an even 800.
    If I was to publish, which I don’t, seeing as the pro relativist editors only publish Harry Potter fantasy science, I would probably have to find the exact
    1971 airspeed. Problem is landing, take off, routes etc are also
    all variable and complex. Notice even H-K admit relativity predictions have large
    errors of 10%! (And the final total lost observed for the eastward plane is 1/3 more than
    predicted by relativity!! That’s an error of 33% for Einsteins theory.
    Not surprising relativists don’t mention this failure.)

    Regarding your point about the speeds relative to earth etc.
    My take on it is as follows: The earth rotates eastward at 1600kph.
    Relative to the earth Center. (Ie if you were in solar frame watching
    the earth it would be rotating at 1600kph eastward.) That HAS to be
    taken into account. Especially considering it’s considered “acceleration”
    in current physics.
    So a plane that flies at 800 kph eastward has to be travelling at 800+1600=2400 relative to the earth Center. Thats why NASA
    launches rockets always to east. They use rocket thrust+ earths
    1600kph rotational velocity to achieve higher orbital escape
    velocity. Which means the westward plane is technically only
    travelling at1600-800=800 relative to the earth center.
    So relative to the earths mass that there-must be three speeds.
    And using this assumption does give a good approximation to
    the observed various tick rates. So my hunch is...if the theory
    is based as best as possible on classical physics and gives an
    accurate prediction...it must be a correct assumption I make
    about the speeds and its relationship to force etc.
    So...Assuming plane speed 800, and assuming that earth rotates
    around in its own Center at 1600kph:

    Observer rotational speed travelling east must be at 1600
    East plane then has to be at 2400
    West plane at 800
    I can’t think of why it could be anything else. But would
    be interested to see why you think it couldn’t.
    Granted, it is acceleration relative to the center of the Earth aiding rockets; this might explain the puzzling fact of supposed time dilation in one direction and time contraction in the other contradicting relativity. It cannot be relative motion per
    se, causing the instrumental error of the atomic clocks. As you say, it could be relative to gravity and the Earth's center. The whole experiment seems so slipshod to me that it can't mean anything, and relativity doesn't predict both time dilation and
    contraction as I have H-K acknowledging that this was puzzling. Yes, since the rockets share the velocity of the spinning Earth they reach orbit better launched towards the East.

    about the speeds and its relationship to force etc.
    So...Assuming plane speed 800, and assuming that earth rotates
    around in its own Center at 1600kph:

    Observer rotational speed travelling east must be at 1600
    East plane then has to be at 2400
    West plane at 800
    I can’t think of why it could be anything else. But would
    be interested to see why you think it couldn’t.

    No need for relativity to explain Hafael Keating.
    Look at classical resonance. It has been known for centuries that >>> the natural resonant frequency of a system will reduce its frequency
    if subject to an external force. So an atom, also confirmed by all observations
    to date to be a resonant system, will also reduce its frequency when subject
    to external force. As we see happen where less g force with altitude increases
    the atoms ‘ticking’.

    So clocks at higher altitude in a plane will be subject to
    lower g-force and will tick faster than clocks on the ground, right?


    No I’m suggesting that this horizontal force is not force due to gravity.
    But a seperate force from horizontal acceleration .
    Isn’t the formula for this f=ma?

    I see. The horizontal force driving the plane at constant
    speed through the air will give the plane a constant
    horizontal acceleration. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?


    Im assuming that Hafael Keating observed that the eastward clock ticks slower.
    That’s my reading of the wiki reference.
    But to answer ‘why’...I assume the speed relative to the ground is the same for both
    planes in the experiment. Let’s call it speed x.
    The earth rotates eastward at 1600k/ hr.
    Close enough.

    So the zero point of reference is the earth observer travelling at 1600 k/hr relative
    to the earths Center of mass.
    Then relative to this earth center reference, the eastward plane travels at
    1600 +x kilometers per hour. And the westward plane travels at 1600-x kilometers
    per hour.

    A reasonable speed for x is 800 km/h.

    The east going plane travels at 2400 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The ground clock travels at 1600 km/h in the ECI-frame.
    The west going plane travels at 800 km/h in the ECI-frame.


    The eastward plane therefore experiences greater F than earth observer
    And the westward plane lesser F than the the earth observer.
    And seeing as a classical model uses resonance as the explanation for this different ticking rates of the caesium atoms natural resonant frequency.
    Then the westward clock has less F from horizontal
    speed than the earth observer and the westward plane has a greater F than
    the earth observer. Which accounts for the 3 different rates of ticking.
    (Don’t forget...the earth observers ‘ticking rate’ is in part due to Gravity force
    but also in part due to its rotational/ horizontal speed of 1600k/hr )

    I see.
    Since the east going clock runs slower than the ground clock,
    and the ground clock runs slower than the west going clock,
    it is obvious that it is the speed in the ECI-frame that is
    the major cause for the different clock rates.

    So we can conclude:
    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the east going
    clock than for the ground clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the east going plane through the air at 800 km/h is higher than
    the force to drive the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h.

    Since the speed in the ECI-frame is higher for the ground clock
    than for the west going clock, the horizontal force to drive
    the ground clock through the air at 0 km/h is higher than the force
    to drive the west going plane through the air at 800 km/h.

    The east going clock is more compressed than the ground clock,
    and will run slower than the ground clock.
    The ground clock is more compressed than the west going clock,
    and will run slower than the west going clock.

    Right?

    But don’t forget the Gravity force pushing you down is a seperate source of
    force from the F force pushing against you as you move horizontally. I’m not sure
    what word you relativists prefer but probably inertia or momentum would
    be appropriate?

    Air drag.
    Air Drag!!😂🤣You relativists. Such purveyors of BS.
    Did I mention air drag?
    No.
    You did.
    You forgot. The earth rotates.
    I know in relativity land that you guys think the earth doesn’t rotate. But
    sorry...it does.
    In which case the eastward plane travels faster relative to the earth Center frame.
    And the westward plane slower
    If you knew any maths...then even if the planes speed was 800k/hr it would still
    be less than the earth observers speed 1600 k/hr speed.
    Which means that the eastward plane travels at a higher speed than the earth
    observer, and the westward plane at a lower speed than the observer.
    And seeing as f=ma then the force on the westward plane is less than the earth observer and the force on the eastward plane is higher.
    Which in turn means that due to f=ma the eastward travelling clock will run slower and the westward clock will run faster than the earth observers clock
    Due to mechanical resonance.
    As observed in Hafael,Keating.
    Do the maths Paul.
    Lou, I wonder if you have published any papers or books because I would like to read them as I agree with much of what you say and you know more about physics than I do. I agree that H/K is not correctly explained by relativity and cannot be. However,
    I'm not sure you are correct about the speeds of the planes. I believe you are wrong because of Galileo's concept of shared speed. Each plane shares the velocity of the source or starting point so they have the same velocity relative to the surface and
    to the atmosphere. There is no difference in force.
    I have only assumed the speed of the planes. Hafael Keating dont supply
    any info on plane speeds. So I looked up passenger jet speeds on Google
    and it’s actually around 550 mph.(880). But this is google groups not Journal
    of physics. And H-K was written in 1971 so I opted for an even 800.
    If I was to publish, which I don’t, seeing as the pro relativist editors only publish Harry Potter fantasy science, I would probably have to find the exact
    1971 airspeed. Problem is landing, take off, routes etc are also
    all variable and complex. Notice even H-K admit relativity predictions have large
    errors of 10%! (And the final total lost observed for the eastward plane is 1/3 more than
    predicted by relativity!! That’s an error of 33% for Einsteins theory.
    Not surprising relativists don’t mention this failure.)

    Regarding your point about the speeds relative to earth etc.
    My take on it is as follows: The earth rotates eastward at 1600kph.
    Relative to the earth Center. (Ie if you were in solar frame watching
    the earth it would be rotating at 1600kph eastward.) That HAS to be
    taken into account. Especially considering it’s considered “acceleration”
    in current physics.
    So a plane that flies at 800 kph eastward has to be travelling at 800+1600=2400 relative to the earth Center. Thats why NASA
    launches rockets always to east. They use rocket thrust+ earths
    1600kph rotational velocity to achieve higher orbital escape
    velocity. Which means the westward plane is technically only
    travelling at1600-800=800 relative to the earth center.
    So relative to the earths mass that there-must be three speeds.
    And using this assumption does give a good approximation to
    the observed various tick rates. So my hunch is...if the theory
    is based as best as possible on classical physics and gives an
    accurate prediction...it must be a correct assumption I make
    about the speeds and its relationship to force etc.
    So...Assuming plane speed 800, and assuming that earth rotates

    Observer rotational speed travelling east must be at 1600
    East plane then has to be at 2400
    West plane at 800
    I can’t think of why it could be anything else. But would
    be interested to see why you think it couldn’t.
    "Kelly also managed to get a memo that Hafele wrote a year after the experiment which recorded Hafele’s internal reports. Hafele frankly admitted: “Most people (himself included) do not think that the time becoming fast of these atomic clocks means
    anything, “The difference between the theory and the measurements was confusing"" - “The Truths of Space-time Contractions of Special Relativity” = Xiaochun Mei

    Granted, it is acceleration relative to the center of the Earth aiding rockets; this might explain the puzzling fact of supposed time dilation in one direction and time contraction in the other contradicting relativity. It cannot be relative motion per
    se, causing the instrumental error of the atomic clocks. As you say, it could be relative to gravity and the Earth's center. The whole experiment seems so slipshod to me that it can't mean anything, and relativity doesn't predict both time dilation and
    contraction as I have H-K acknowledging that this was puzzling. Yes, since the rockets share the velocity of the spinning Earth they reach orbit better launched towards the East.


    It’s an interesting subject. The observer on the ground feels push from gravity. But they are also being subjected to a constant horizontal force and are being pushed around in a circle around the Center of the earth at 1600kph.


    You are puzzled as to how special relativity predicts contraction *and* dilation.
    It seems to be for the same reason as classical theory. In classical theory the
    westward planes caesium atoms are subjected to horizontal force which when decreased relative to the observer makes the atoms tick at a faster rate. Because the westward planes 800 kph is subtracted from the observer groundspeed of 1600 kph speed.
    Whereas the eastward atoms are being subjected to 1600 + 800 force.
    And as resonant systems classically respond to more force by reducing
    their natural resonant frequency....the resonant frequency ticks slow down
    on the eastward plane.
    All that SR does is pretend that this classical effect of natural resonant frequencies
    changing due to varying external force....is caused by imaginary time dilation.



    Wiki :” Considering the Hafele–Keating experiment in a frame of reference at rest with respect to the center of the Earth (because this is an inertial frame[3]), a clock aboard the plane moving eastward, in the direction of the Earth's rotation, had
    a greater velocity (resulting in a relative time loss) than one that remained on the ground, while a clock aboard the plane moving westward, against the Earth's rotation, had a lower velocity than one on the ground.”

    Mercury:

    this means that the perihelion advance is 43.240" after 415.2 orbits

    Venus:

    Earth:
    The equation give 4.4929E-17 per square km, and you claim that

    Mars:

    So please explain how you can know how many orbits the planet
    must go before the calculated advance is reached?

    Don't you see how ridiculous this is?
    An equation for the perihelion advance of a planet,
    which contains orbital data for the planet, must
    obviously give the advance per orbit, not per century.
    No answer?
    Don't you think it is ridiculous that your equation give
    the advance after a number of orbits which isn't in your formula?

    Your logic is biased flawed and incorrect at best. Notice
    Einstein didn’t even do the calculations for the preccession.
    Various others did using 1/r^2. But they added to the calculation
    by translating the oroginal values into various different formats
    Of arcseconds, radians, per orbit per century etc.
    Gobbledegook!
    Did you try to say something about the logic that shows
    that your 'formula' is nonsense?


    This is GR's prediction for the perihelion advance of ANY planet
    orbiting any star.
    (Ignoring the mass of planet relative to the mass of star)

    δφ = 6πGM/a(1−e²)c²
    where:
    δφ Perihelion advance per orbit [rad/orbit]
    G gravitational constant [m³/kg⋅s²]
    M mass of star [kg]
    a semi major axis of orbit [m]
    e eccentricity of orbit
    c speed of light

    The equation shows the advance for one orbit
    irrespective of which planet it is.

    The advance per orbit will:
    Increase with the mass of the star.
    Decrease with the semi major axis.
    Increase with the eccentricity.

    According to your equation 1/(r+3R)² the advance is independent of
    the mass of the star and the eccentricity of the orbit.
    And what's more, it shows the advance as a number per square km,
    and the advance is after a number of orbits which are not
    included in the equation. You have to guess.

    There is no area (ie square km) in 1/(r+3R)².
    You made that up. You are so obsessed with your maths
    that it has made you incapable of understanding fundamental
    physics. Forget area.
    All that formula does is give a mathematical relationship between
    perehilion distance and how the suns mass is spread across its volume
    Notice the observed perehilion increases for each planet the farther
    out it is. So r is actually representing not just distance but
    mass and speed. And R isn’t just distance...it also represents
    mass and volume and diameter of the sun.

    Anyways you can object all you want about how much you hate
    classical theory being able to not only explain anomalous preccesion..
    but to predict it better than Relativity.
    The one and only fact that matters is....the formula works.
    Better than GR.


    Why do you guess the number of orbits per century?
    Why not per decennium or millennium?
    There is nothing in the equation to determine which.


    Anomalous preccession is caused by suns mass spread across its
    volume. And Newton’s formula forgets to account for this effect at perehilion.
    For each planet. So what’s the best way to see if there is a relationship between perehilion and solar mass when spread across solar volume?
    1/(r+3R)²
    Nothing to do with area
    The formula is about a proprtional relationship between perehilion
    distance relative to the suns mass & volume.
    And it predicts better then GR.

    And from where did you get the factor 1E17 km²⋅century per arcsec
    you have to multiply the number per square km with to get "/century ?


    Look at the predictions of the formula.
    Do they correctly model the preccession?
    Yes. Sorry Paul. But if you object...then you are out
    of luck because if a theory makes testable predictions that
    succeed...then you have to accept it.
    Even if it’s GR predictions based on assumptions that magic
    goblins in the 17th Dimension are drinking too much.


    Because my formula is based on a simple understanding

    I see.
    You claim Newton was wrong since it according to Newton
    is no perihelion advance of a single planet orbiting a star.

    We can agree about that.

    So which theory of physics, based on a simple understanding
    of the mechanism of how orbital paths are tugged at by the Sun
    as they make their nearest approach to the sun, are you
    referring to?

    Classical physics. That’s the one that is based on observations only.
    And it doesn’t include any predictions like Newton’s which say that
    all the suns mass is at its Center. And the rest is an optical illusion.
    Newton only works ..sort of. A rough guide so to speak.

    Can you show the equations which will show how a planet will
    orbit the star?

    Newton’s. His works sort of. But when it gets to perehilion
    you have to add in 1/(r+3R)² to predict the extra preccession.

    And why is the radius of the Sun in the equation?
    It doesn't affect the planet's orbit at all.


    Why is radius of sun in the formula?
    Because the source of the anomalous precession comes physically
    from the planet as it makes its closest approach to the Sun.
    That’s when the suns mass subtends the largest angle in the sky
    and where Newton’s assumption that all the mass of the sun is
    assumed to be at its Center for orbital speed and path calculations
    is shown to be an incorrect assumption.
    This additional 1/r^2 ( which Einstein also did but incorrectly at
    the semi major axis) corrects the failure of Newton’s formulae
    for orbital mechanics.
    So can you please show the equations for your theory
    where the radius of the star affects the orbits of planets,
    but the mass of the star doesn't?

    You aren’t thinking straight. The orbit is always dependent on
    the stellar mass. They are inextricably linked.

    Depends on what you mean by tangential force.
    Does the object head off in a tangent ?
    No it doesn’t. It always seems to change direction and rotate
    in a circle around the earths axis.
    Presumably this is because the earths gravity pulls by the
    same amount of force that is pushing the object tangentially
    out into the universe. Some sort of equilibrium has been achieved
    dictated by force.
    If you want a more detailed description of what happens then
    probably using a LeSage push gravity concept would explain it all.
    As long as you don’t incorrectly assume push gravity force is
    particulate. Like Newton or Lesage.
    EMR is wave only. And gravity is EMR.

    It should read 1/(r+3R)^2
    You will get 4.324 x 10-16 for mercury
    And if you calculate all 4 planets you will see the progression clearly.



    You claim that your equation 1/(r+3R)² means:

    Mercury:
    The equation give 4.3240E-16 per square km, and you claim that
    this means that the perihelion advance is 43.240" after 415.2 orbits

    Venus:

    this means that the perihelion advance is 8.3302" after 162.5 orbits

    Earth:
    The equation give 4.4929E-17 per square km, and you claim that
    this means that the perihelion advance is 4.4929" after 100 orbits.

    Mars:
    The equation give 2.2951E-17 per square km, and you claim that
    this means that the perihelion advance is 2.2951" after 53.2 orbits.

    So please explain how you can know how many orbits the planet
    must go before the calculated advance is reached?



    This is GR's prediction for the perihelion advance of ANY planet
    orbiting any star.
    (Ignoring the mass of planet relative to the mass of star)

    δφ = 6πGM/a(1−e²)c²
    where:
    δφ Perihelion advance per orbit [rad/orbit]
    G gravitational constant [m³/kg⋅s²]
    M mass of star [kg]
    a semi major axis of orbit [m]
    e eccentricity of orbit
    c speed of light [m/s]

    Note that the dimensions are the same on both sides
    of the equality sign. Radians is a dimensionless number.

    dimensionless number = [m³/kg⋅s²]⋅[kg]/([m]⋅[m/s]⋅[m/s])
    = m³⋅kg⋅s²/(m³⋅kg⋅s²) = dimensionless number

    The equation shows the advance for one orbit
    irrespective of which planet it is.

    According to your equation 1/(r+3R)² the advance is independent of
    the mass of the star and the eccentricity of the orbit.
    And what's more, it shows the advance as a number per square km,
    and the advance is after a number of orbits which are not
    included in the equation. You have to guess.


    There is no area (ie square km) in 1/(r+3R)².
    You made that up. You are so obsessed with your maths
    that it has made you incapable of understanding fundamental
    physics. Forget area.

    I stand corrected! :-J
    (r+3R)² isn't an area!
    And since r and R are in km, the non area isn't in square km.

    One can but admire your capability to understand basic physics.


    All that formula does is give a mathematical relationship between
    perehilion distance and how the suns mass is spread across its volume
    Notice the observed perehilion increases for each planet the farther
    out it is. So r is actually representing not just distance but
    mass and speed. And R isn’t just distance...it also represents
    mass and volume and diameter of the sun.

    I see. So:

    r = 4.6001136690E7 km represents the mass 3.301132E23 kg
    and the speed 47.87 km/s

    r = 10.747582129E7 km represents the mass 4.867453E24 kg
    and the speed 35.0 km/s

    r = 14.709844432E7 km represents the mass 6.045809E24 kg
    and the speed 29.8 km/s

    r = 20.664951765E7 km represents the mass 6.417094E24 kg
    and the speed 24.1 km/s

    But how can these represented masses and speeds affect
    the result when they don't appear in your formula?

    But since you say so, they must affect the result.

    So the dimension of r is (distance x mass x speed)
    In SI units: the dimension of r is [kg⋅km²/s]
    and the dimensions in your formula are:
    arcsecs = s²/(kg²⋅km⁴)

    Which seems very reasonable, doesn't it?


    Anyways you can object all you want about how much you hate
    classical theory being able to not only explain anomalous preccesion..
    but to predict it better than Relativity.
    The one and only fact that matters is....the formula works.
    Better than GR.

    Sure! Well done!


    Why do you guess the number of orbits per century?
    Why not per decennium or millennium?
    There is nothing in the equation to determine which.

    You didn't answer this question!

    The GR equation is very simple, it gives the perihelion advance
    for one single orbit.

    But your equation give the perihelion advance after a number of orbits,
    so what is it in the r that say how many orbits the advance is for?

    Does r also represent a number so that:
    r = 4.6001136690E7 km represents 415.2 orbits
    r = 10.747582129E7 km represents 162.5 orbits
    r = 14.709844432E7 km represents 100 orbits
    r = 20.664951765E7 km represents 53.2 orbits

    As I am incapable of understanding fundamental
    physics, I don't understand how you from r can
    see how many orbits the planet has to do before
    the advance is as your formula shows.

    So can you, who ARE capable of understanding basic physics
    please explain it?


    Anomalous preccession is caused by suns mass spread across its
    volume. And Newton’s formula forgets to account for this effect at perehilion.

    I see. You claim that Newtons F = GMm/r² is wrong
    because it doesn't account for the volume of the Sun.
    That means that you can't use Newton to calculate
    the orbits of planets.

    What 'classical' theory are you then referring to?

    All you need to calculate orbits according to Newton is
    F = ma and F = GMm/r².

    But your theory must be based on F = ma and F = f(G,M,m,r,Rsun)
    Can you please show what the function f(G,M,m,r,Rsun) is,
    and show how it leads your formula?

    Should be a piece of cake for someone with your ability
    to understand basic physics!

    And it works...better than Einsteins version.

    And since r and R are in km, the non area isn't in square km.

    If you insist it is an area...maybe it could be. Just for a you.
    A Christmas present.
    But I certainly wasn’t trying to model ‘area’ with the formula.
    But thinking about it..maybe that could be one interpretation
    that would make you happy.
    A full Orbit is an area if you care to think of it like that.
    And 1/(r+3R)² models the extra bit of area that is added by the anomolous preccession.

    One can but admire your capability to understand basic physics.

    Thank you. I can see you are appreciating my input.

    r = 14.709844432E7 km represents the mass 6.045809E24 kg

    r = 20.664951765E7 km represents the mass 6.417094E24 kg
    and the speed 24.1 km/s

    But how can these represented masses and speeds affect
    the result when they don't appear in your formula?


    Magic. You know like Quantum spookiness, counterintuitive lightspeed c
    in all frames, time travelling twins. I’m just following in the
    footsteps of the great spiritualists and magicians Einstein and Heisenberg

    But since you say so, they must affect the result.

    So the dimension of r is (distance x mass x speed)
    In SI units: the dimension of r is [kg⋅km²/s]
    and the dimensions in your formula are:

    Who knows what you are trying to do here. Obviously you are
    enjoying yourself.
    But I can assure you...the formula works. And better than Einsteins.
    Not least because it models the actual distribution of mass of the sun
    on planetary orbits...rather than just being a mathematical fix for an imaginary relativistic effect.
    As Alberts version is.

    r = 20.664951765E7 km represents 53.2 orbits

    As I am incapable of understanding fundamental
    physics, I don't understand how you from r can
    see how many orbits the planet has to do before
    the advance is as your formula shows.

    So can you, who ARE capable of understanding basic physics
    please explain it?

    You don’t understand how 1/(r+3R)² does a better job of modelling
    perehilion advance than relativities version?
    Or you don’t want to understand?


    Anomalous preccession is caused by suns mass spread across its
    volume. And Newton’s formula forgets to account for this effect at perehilion.
    I see. You claim that Newtons F = GMm/r² is wrong
    because it doesn't account for the volume of the Sun.
    That means that you can't use Newton to calculate
    the orbits of planets.


    I can’t ! Why not?

    What 'classical' theory are you then referring to?


    You know...the one that doesn’t use magic and spiritualism.

    All you need to calculate orbits according to Newton is
    F = ma and F = GMm/r².

    But your theory must be based on F = ma and F = f(G,M,m,r,Rsun)
    Can you please show what the function f(G,M,m,r,Rsun) is,
    and show how it leads your formula?

    Should be a piece of cake for someone with your ability
    to understand basic physics!

    Well, when you ditch magic and go for basic physics...then maybe you
    will understand how 1/(r+3R)² accurately models the anomolous
    preccesion of planets.
    I’ll give you a hint...it’s all in the way that the suns mass isn’t magically
    at the Center of its volume. But rather, it’s spread out across its volume. And when the planet is at its closest approach to the sun at perihelion,
    it isn’t just tugged at from the Center of the sun,...but also from its edges,
    Which is closer to the planet at perehilion than the suns Center.
    And this is what distorts the predictions made by Newton.
    And adds in an extra tug of gravity from the sun not normally accounted
    for by Newton.
    The trick is...how does one model this additional relationship between the suns radius R and perihelion distance r?
    I know!! Let’s try seeing if any formula using just radius of sun and perehilion distance can give us a way to predict the anomolous
    preccession. Seeing as the two, r and R, are the most and only important parameters producing this anomalous preccession.
    Hey! Guess what! Using just those two prerequisites, r and R, DOES
    model the anomaly much more accurately than Alberts spiritualist
    based formula.
    Wow! I love maths when it’s not being used to falsely validate
    magic and spiritualism like the maths of QT and Relativity do.

    Right.
    The ground is exerting an upwards force F = gm on the observer,
    where m is the mass of the observer and g is the upwards gravitational acceleration.

    ?? Maybe in relativity land. But classically push gravity works like this: Gravity is an electromagnetic force that pushes from all directions of
    the universe equally. However mass alters the balance and redistributes
    this isotropic “pressure”. So that standing on earth you get pushed
    down slightly more than you are pushed up. Seeing as the earth has “blocked” a small fraction of this universal isotropic gravity force.

    And since you are capable of understanding fundamental
    physics, you know that the dimensions must be the same on

    Here we have force = acceleration X mass,
    In the SI-system N = (m/s²)X(kg)

    It would be rather silly if we wrote something like

    The coup de gras for your GUESS: a pendulum clock ticks SLOWER at higher altitude, while an atomic clock ticks FASTER.

    (The former is due to changing the timekeeping mechanism
    of the pendulum clock, while the latter is due to

    You REALLY need to learn very basic physics before attempting to write
    about it. Note also the Newtonian physics has no "time dilation" of any
    kind.

    Here are two formal experiments that show that your basic claim that a
    force applied to a clock makes it tick slower is refuted experimentally:

    [1 g = 9.8 m/s^2, a convenient unit of acceleration.]

    - Sherwin, "Some Recent Experimental Tests of the 'Clock
    Paradox'", Phys. Rev. 129 no. 1 (1960), pg 17.
    He discusses some Moessbauer experiments that support
    the thesis that the tick rate of a clock is independent
    of its acceleration (~10^16 g), and depends only on
    its speed.

    - Bailey et al., "Measurements of relativistic time dilation
    for positive and negative muons in a circular orbit,"
    Nature 268 (July 28, 1977) pg 301.
    - Bailey et al., Nuclear Physics B 150 pg 1–79 (1979).
    They observed that muons in their storage ring had a
    lifetime consistent with inertially moving muons at
    the same speed; their muons were subject to the
    enormous acceleration of 10^18 g.

    Elsewhere you said:
    adding more weight or mass to a resonant system causes its natural
    resonant frequency to decrease.

    This is true for mass, but is true for weight ONLY when gravity provides
    the restoring force (e.g. in a pendulum clock). There is no way to
    change the mass of the timekeeping resonant system of an atomic clock.
    As mentioned above, a pendulum clock and an atomic clock respond QUITE DIFFERENTLY to a change in altitude.

    It should read 1/(r+3R)^2
    You will get 4.324 x 10-16 for mercury
    And if you calculate all 4 planets you will see the progression clearly.


    You claim that your equation 1/(r+3R)² means:

    Mercury:
    The equation give 4.3240E-16 per square km, and you claim that
    this means that the perihelion advance is 43.240" after 415.2 orbits

    Venus:
    The equation give 8.3302E-17 per square km, and you claim that
    this means that the perihelion advance is 8.3302" after 162.5 orbits

    Earth:
    The equation give 4.4929E-17 per square km, and you claim that
    this means that the perihelion advance is 4.4929" after 100 orbits.

    Mars:
    The equation give 2.2951E-17 per square km, and you claim that
    this means that the perihelion advance is 2.2951" after 53.2 orbits.


    All that formula does is give a mathematical relationship between
    perehilion distance and how the suns mass is spread across its volume
    Notice the observed perehilion increases for each planet the farther
    out it is. So r is actually representing not just distance but
    mass and speed. And R isn’t just distance...it also represents
    mass and volume and diameter of the sun.

    Utter nonsense, but funny nonsense. :-D


    You don’t understand how 1/(r+3R)² does a better job of modelling perehilion advance than relativities version?
    Or you don’t want to understand?

    I do indeed understand.

    It is very obvious how you arrived at the equation.
    You noticed that the perihelion advance in "/century of
    the three inner planets were approximately proportional
    to 1/r^2 where r is the perihelion distance of the planets.
    But to make the function fit the three points better, you
    wrote: 1/(r + fudge-factor)^2 and by trying you found
    that the fudge factor should be 3 solar diameters.
    What you forgot is that your equation should be:

    (1E17 km²/arcsec)/(r + 3R)² = number of arcsec per century

    This isn't physics, it is simple curve fitting.

    And your equation doesn't do very well:

    Earth 3.8387 3.8389 4.493 3.838
    Mars ? 1.3510 2.295 1.351

    To make a better curve fit, you could have set:

    Mercury: r₁ = 4.6001136690E7 km
    Venus: r₂ = 10.747582129E7 km
    Earth: r₃ = 14.709844432E7 km

    Find the constants a, b and c by solving the three equations:
    a⋅r₁² + b⋅r₁ + c = 42.56"
    a⋅r₂² + b⋅r₂ + c = 8.6247"
    a⋅r₃² + b⋅r₃ + c = 3.8387"
    The dimension of a: "/km², of b: "/km, of c: " .

    Then the equation: arcsec = a⋅r² + b⋅r + c
    would give an exact fit of the observed values for the three planets.

    But like your equation, it would not work at all for other than
    the three planets. Because it isn't physics at all.

    A physic equation, like δφ = 6πGM/a(1−e²)c²
    can predict the perihelion advance for ANY planet orbiting ANY star.


    Anomalous preccession is caused by suns mass spread across its
    volume. And Newton’s formula forgets to account for this effect at perehilion.

    Meaningless babble.
    Your equations is not physics.

    But you are right when saying that Newton was wrong.
    F = GMm/r² can't produce a perihelion advance.

    GR can. And you can see an approximated equation for
    the gravitational acceleration of GR here: https://paulba.no/PerihelionAdvance.html

    Note that in addition to the centripetal acceleration
    there is an acceleration along the velocity vector
    which will be responsible for the rotation of the elliptic
    orbit.

    Well, when you ditch magic and go for basic physics...then maybe you
    will understand how 1/(r+3R)² accurately models the anomolous
    preccesion of planets.

    Curve fitting isn't basic physics, it is basic math.
    But you did obviously not know what you were doing.

    It is physics. You are just upset because it models anomalous preccession better
    than the spiritualist based fudge of GR.

    But you are right when saying that Newton was wrong.
    F = GMm/r² can't produce a perihelion advance.

    GR can. And you can see an approximated equation for
    the gravitational acceleration of GR here: https://paulba.no/PerihelionAdvance.html


    Way off. My advice is use my formula.
    Not only does it work better.
    It’s not based on magic like Alberts is.

    Note that in addition to the centripetal acceleration
    there is an acceleration along the velocity vector
    which will be responsible for the rotation of the elliptic
    orbit.
    Well, when you ditch magic and go for basic physics...then maybe you
    will understand how 1/(r+3R)² accurately models the anomolous
    preccesion of planets.
    Curve fitting isn't basic physics, it is basic math.
    But you did obviously not know what you were doing.

    Poor Paul. Doesn’t do physics.
    Cant do physics seeimg as he’s spent all his life fiddling data with

    Your website is full of nonsense.
    Take one claim that you make that a classical model cannot
    predict a path difference for Sagnac supposedly because
    one has to take aether into account.!! Nonsense
    You forgot... classical physics dumped the aether in 1898.
    Well Before Einstein published his ridiculous ether for every observer nonsense.
    If you do your calculations properly based on physics( not magic)

    Your GUESS that an applied force affects the tick rate of an atomic

    No more a guess than Alberts guess that time passes at different rates
    for different frames.

    Your GUESS does not work for a pendulum clock -- its tick rate scales as sqrt(g) which is proportional to 1/r, not 1/r^2.


    Odd thing to say. My whole point was that gravity force on harmonic oscillators is 1/r Not1/r^2.
    Better tell Volney I was right after all..

    The coup de gras for your GUESS: a pendulum clock ticks SLOWER at higher altitude, while an atomic clock ticks FASTER.

    Fortunately I said the following...which IS TRUE..
    It is well understood that more mass or weight on a harmonic oscillator
    will reduce its natural frequency.



    (The former is due to changing the timekeeping mechanism
    of the pendulum clock, while the latter is due to
    "gravitational time dilation".)

    You REALLY need to learn very basic physics before attempting to write
    about it. Note also the Newtonian physics has no "time dilation" of any kind.


    And good for a Newton. At least he got one thing right.
    I think *you* need to learn basic physics Tom. You just tried to pull a fast one
    and pretend more weight or mass on a harmonic oscillator will increase
    its natural frequency.

    Here are two formal experiments that show that your basic claim that a
    force applied to a clock makes it tick slower is refuted experimentally:

    [1 g = 9.8 m/s^2, a convenient unit of acceleration.]

    - Sherwin, "Some Recent Experimental Tests of the 'Clock
    Paradox'", Phys. Rev. 129 no. 1 (1960), pg 17.
    He discusses some Moessbauer experiments that support
    the thesis that the tick rate of a clock is independent
    of its acceleration (~10^16 g), and depends only on
    its speed.


    Come on Tom. Relativists fiddling data on experiments to prove
    GR predictions are correct?! Best ignored.
    One only has to see how I-S falsified classical predictions
    by incorrectly using w instead of f in the classical formula.
    To make sure it didn’t predict an offset.
    They then STOLE the classical formula that did predict the correct
    offset and pretended it was a relativistic formula.
    How did they get away with this crime?
    They pretended that MMX had confirmed the existence of an aether.


    - Bailey et al., "Measurements of relativistic time dilation
    for positive and negative muons in a circular orbit,"
    Nature 268 (July 28, 1977) pg 301.
    - Bailey et al., Nuclear Physics B 150 pg 1–79 (1979).
    They observed that muons in their storage ring had a
    lifetime consistent with inertially moving muons at
    the same speed; their muons were subject to the
    enormous acceleration of 10^18 g.

    Elsewhere you said:
    adding more weight or mass to a resonant system causes its natural resonant frequency to decrease.

    This is true for mass, but is true for weight ONLY when gravity provides
    the restoring force (e.g. in a pendulum clock). There is no way to
    change the mass of the timekeeping resonant system of an atomic clock.
    As mentioned above, a pendulum clock and an atomic clock respond QUITE DIFFERENTLY to a change in altitude.

    Forget your pendulum clock. Look up harmonic oscillator.
    Then see if additional weight or mass increases or decrease its
    natural resonant frequency.
    All my reference says more weight...decreases its frequency.
    And seeing as weight is dependent on g force...
    Then the best evidence is...GPS. The natural resonant frequency of
    Caesium atoms at 20000 km is increased when G force decreases.
    At a rate which is r. Not r^2.
    As predicted by classical theory.

    Yes I can see your point and you can get into semantics if you’d prefer.
    But I’m just trying to look at what actually is observed.
    Why does NASA send its rockets out eastward to get an additional
    1600kph speed boost if there is no eastward “force” to give this additional 1600kph to its rockets?
    The horizontal force is there by virtue of being attached to the
    horizontal 1600 kph spin of earths surface
    Or if the earth somehow stopped spinning eastward, why does the generally accepted wisdom state that you, your chair, the room and house
    would keep on spinning eastward at 1600kph?

    is no eastward force pushing you?

    You are the one grasping at straws. I showed you how shadow classical
    gravity was proportional to r not r^2.
    In your desperation I notice you snipped the bit you
    couldn’t answer. Here it is again:
    Try your calculation again. And *show me* how you calculate the size in the sky
    in degrees of earths shadow for an observer at *2r*.
    Dont forget...the shadow of the earth at r for the observer (standing on
    the earths surface) is 50% (180 degrees ) of the total area
    observed. So your area must be no more than 1/4 of that 50% if you use r^2

    Here is an illustration to clarify what 180 degrees means.
    In this wiki illustration linked below imagine you are the observer and
    you are represented by the dot (earth) in the illustration.
    The equatorial line of the outer sphere represents the earths surface
    below you. So at r, you see 180 degrees sky above.
    And earths shadow is 180 degrees below you, represented by the horizontal equatorial line of the outer sphere in the illustration.
    So then...at 2r you will look down below you and the earth has moved away
    from your feet. And the earth now will take up a certain amount of your
    vision below you, but less than the 180 degrees it did at r.
    What angle do you think the earths shadow will now subtend at 2r?

    If it follows inverse square..then your earth shadow should
    subtend to no more than 1/4 of 180degrees.
    I think you will find that this is an incorrect assumption you make.
    Because I calculate earths shadow at 2 r will subtend to 60degrees of
    the view below you. Only1/3 of 180degrees.

    I do indeed understand.

    It is very obvious how you arrived at the equation.
    You noticed that the perihelion advance in "/century of
    the three inner planets were approximately proportional
    to 1/r^2 where r is the perihelion distance of the planets.
    But to make the function fit the three points better, you

    You can't seriously claim that:
    1/(r+3R)² = 4.3240E-16 per square km
    means that the perihelion advance for mercury is 43.240 "/century

    You could have made your equation meaningful like this:
    (1E17 km²/arcsec)/(r + 3R)² = number of arcsec per century

    And your equation doesn't do very well:

    https://paulba.no/paper/Clemence.pdf
    Observed anomalous precession:
    Mercury: (42.56 ± 0.94) "/century

    https://arxiv.org/pdf/0802.0176.pdf
    Observed anomalous precession:
    Venus: 8.6247 ± 0.0005) "/century
    Earth: 3.8387 ± 0.0004) "/century



    Wrong
    Earth is 5
    Venus is 8.
    Your “observed” data were made up by relativists to cover up the fact that
    GR failed miserably.


    You think the correct observed values are
    43.1, 8.0 and 5.0 for the planets Mercury,
    Venus and Earth respectively.

    These are the values you have tried to make your equation
    produce. But your equation is a pretty bad job as a curve fitting
    equation. Producing 43.240" in stead of 43.1, and 8.3302
    in stead of 8.0, and 4.4929 in stead of 5.0 isn't very impressive.
    That is because you didn't know what you were doing when you
    experimented with your fudge-factor.

    You could have done a much better job to make your
    equation produce the values you wanted.

    This is how:

    Mercury: r₁ = 4.6001136690E7 km
    Venus: r₂ = 10.747582129E7 km
    Earth: r₃ = 14.709844432E7 km

    Find the constants a, b and c by solving the three equations:
    a⋅r₁² + b⋅r₁ + c = 43.1"
    a⋅r₂² + b⋅r₂ + c = 8.0"
    a⋅r₃² + b⋅r₃ + c = 5.0"
    The dimension of a: "/km², of b: "/km, of c: " .

    Then the equation: arcsec = a⋅r² + b⋅r + c
    would give an exact fit of the three values you wanted.

    But like your equation, it would not work at all for other than
    the three planets. Because it isn't physics at all.

    This has obviously nothing to do with physics; the values are what you
    wanted them to be, which may not have anything to do with reality.

    A physic equation, like δφ = 6πGM/a(1−e²)c²
    can predict the perihelion advance for ANY planet orbiting ANY star.

    And you can't make the prediction fit your wishes.

    Poor Paul. Doesn’t do physics.

    It is a fact that the Sagnac experiment can be explained
    with Galilean relativity and a stationary ether.
    Sagnac thought he had proved the existence of the ether.

    It is a fact that the Sagnac experiment can be explained by SR.

    The Sagnac experiment doesn't falsify the existence of an ether,
    and it doesn't falsify SR.

    You tried to prove that the earths gravity shadow in a classical model
    followed r^2. I showed you clearly how the shadow area falls off by r.
    And by the way *continues* to do do so to infinity.
    So you ignore the evidence instead.
    Typical relativist approach. You guys hate empirical evidence.
    It always refutes Relativity’s predictions.
    You also ignore the fact that GR itself models the force of gravity
    using r when it pretends that imaginary photons are accelerated or
    decelerated by gravity. Yet complain when a classical model
    correctly uses r to model gravity’s effects on particles

    How could they be so stupid!! There is no horizontal force acting on
    their rockets to give an extra 1600kph velocity on lift off!!!
    Could you email them and tell them to smarten up?
    No wonder none of their rockets make it to orbit.

    Yes I can see your point and you can get into semantics if you’d prefer. But I’m just trying to look at what actually is observed.
    Why does NASA send its rockets out eastward to get an additional
    1600kph speed boost if there is no eastward “force” to give this additional 1600kph to its rockets?
    The horizontal force is there by virtue of being attached to the horizontal 1600 kph spin of earths surface
    Or if the earth somehow stopped spinning eastward, why does the generally accepted wisdom state that you, your chair, the room and house
    would keep on spinning eastward at 1600kph?
    What pushes the NASA rocket or you and the house eastward if there
    is no eastward force pushing you?

    I do indeed understand.

    It is very obvious how you arrived at the equation.
    You noticed that the perihelion advance in "/century of
    the three inner planets were approximately proportional
    to 1/r^2 where r is the perihelion distance of the planets.
    But to make the function fit the three points better, you
    wrote: 1/(r + fudge-factor)^2 and by trying you found
    that the fudge factor should be 3 solar diameters.
    But your equation 1/(r+3R)² is nonsense.
    You can't seriously claim that:
    1/(r+3R)² = 4.3240E-16 per square km
    means that the perihelion advance for mercury is 43.240 "/century


    ! !
    My formula more accurately predicts the preccession
    of mercury than GR can.
    Question: Since when is the better theory ‘nonsense’?
    Answer: When a relativist is upset that GR theory can’t deliver the
    best predictions

    You could have made your equation meaningful like this:
    (1E17 km²/arcsec)/(r + 3R)² = number of arcsec per century

    You can if you want. I’ll stick to my original one.
    It can be translated into arc seconds, arc minutes, per century , per year , per orbit
    etc.
    Dont forget...Even Alberts formula has to get converted
    mathematically seperately to whatever format is needed. His version
    doesn’t automatically supply every variation of yrs,days ,orbits ,seconds centuries,minutes etc

    And your equation doesn't do very well:

    https://paulba.no/paper/Clemence.pdf
    Observed anomalous precession:
    Mercury: (42.56 ± 0.94) "/century

    https://arxiv.org/pdf/0802.0176.pdf
    Observed anomalous precession:
    Venus: 8.6247 ± 0.0005) "/century
    Earth: 3.8387 ± 0.0004) "/century



    Wrong
    Earth is 5
    Venus is 8.
    Your “observed” data were made up by relativists to cover up the fact that
    GR failed miserably.

    You think the correct observed values are
    43.1, 8.0 and 5.0 for the planets Mercury,
    Venus and Earth respectively.


    I know. And I supplied two reputable sources. Your source
    was called a “crank” source by another relativist here on sci.relativity.

    These are the values you have tried to make your equation
    produce. But your equation is a pretty bad job as a curve fitting
    equation. Producing 43.240" in stead of 43.1, and 8.3302
    in stead of 8.0, and 4.4929 in stead of 5.0 isn't very impressive.
    That is because you didn't know what you were doing when you
    experimented with your fudge-factor.


    My formula gave predictions closer to the above observed than GR.
    And the reason is twofold. Firstly Einstein only had mercury to fit
    to in early 20th C. So he only had to fiddle/fudge one prediction.
    And secondly mine works...because it’s not a formula trying to
    validate a magical fantasy called spacetime...it’s just modelling what actually happens in reality. Which is that Newton incorrectly assumed
    that all the mass could be placed at the theoretical Center.
    It can’t. When the planet makes perehilion it is closer to the suns
    mass then Newton pretends. The pull of gravity at perehilion becomes slightly greater then Newton predicts. Hence...anomalous preccession is observed

    You could have done a much better job to make your
    equation produce the values you wanted.

    This is how:
    Mercury: r₁ = 4.6001136690E7 km
    Venus: r₂ = 10.747582129E7 km
    Earth: r₃ = 14.709844432E7 km

    Find the constants a, b and c by solving the three equations:
    a⋅r₁² + b⋅r₁ + c = 43.1"
    a⋅r₂² + b⋅r₂ + c = 8.0"
    a⋅r₃² + b⋅r₃ + c = 5.0"
    The dimension of a: "/km², of b: "/km, of c: " .

    Then the equation: arcsec = a⋅r² + b⋅r + c
    would give an exact fit of the three values you wanted.
    But like your equation, it would not work at all for other than
    the three planets. Because it isn't physics at all.

    That’s hilarious Paul. You know my formula gives better predictions than
    GR. So you rewrite it ...to make sure it’s wrong and doesn’t give accurate predictions anymore. And then claim your falsified bad formula is my formula!!!!

    This has obviously nothing to do with physics; the values are what you wanted them to be, which may not have anything to do with reality.
    A physic equation, like δφ = 6πGM/a(1−e²)c²
    can predict the perihelion advance for ANY planet orbiting ANY star.
    And you can't make the prediction fit your wishes.
    Poor Paul. Doesn’t do physics.
    Cant do physics seeimg as he’s spent all his life fiddling data with fancy formulae.
    Your website is full of nonsense.
    Your lethal arguments are noted.
    Take one claim that you make that a classical model cannot
    predict a path difference for Sagnac supposedly because
    one has to take aether into account.!! Nonsense
    You forgot... classical physics dumped the aether in 1898.
    Well Before Einstein published his ridiculous ether for every observer nonsense.
    If you do your calculations properly based on physics( not magic)
    you will find A classical model DOES predict a path difference.
    What are you trying to say?

    It is a fact that the Sagnac experiment can be explained
    with Galilean relativity and a stationary ether.
    Sagnac thought he had proved the existence of the ether.

    It is a fact that the Sagnac experiment can be explained by SR.

    The Sagnac experiment doesn't falsify the existence of an ether,
    and it doesn't falsify SR.

    Didn't you know that?

    Sagnac doesn’t need to falsify the existence of an aether.
    Michelson Morley already did it previous to Sagnac.
    There is no aether. And this means that a classical aether
    free model can make predictions of a path difference in Sagnac.

    Anyways you seem to contradict yourself. On your website and
    many other pro relativity websites I have noticed the repeated claim that
    a classical model predicts no fringe shift. But a relativistic model does. Hence the (false) claim that a classical model is refuted by Sagnac.

    In the ECI frame, the rocket is moving eastwards at 1600 km/h

    So when the rocket fires, it is obviously best to accelerate eastwards,

    Yes, your velocity in the non rotating ECI frame is
    CONSTANT 1600 km/h in the horizontal eastwards direction.
    It is CONSTANT because no horizontal force is acting on you.
    Newtons 1. law.


    Your ignorance is doubly amazing.
    In fact: You and I are not going eastward. We are both accelerating in a
    circle at 1600kph. Around the earths core. Thanks to gravity pushing
    us down. You will never win the argument. Because the fact is that the earth surface
    is rotating at 1600kph and supplying the horizontal force to us.
    And the vertical downward push of gravity is forcing us to accelerate in a circle.
    Which is why the atoms in Hafael Keating are subject to two seperate forces. Gravity force and a constant tangental force that is constantly changing direction
    which means it is considered an acceleration force.
    If there was *no gravity* and no atmosphere then we would zip off into
    space at a constant speed. And no longer be subject to 1600 force.
    And Hafael Keating would no longer measure any changes in tick rates.


    If a horizontal, eastwards force was acting on you, your speed
    would increase, you would move faster that your room and hit the wall.

    You not only forgot about Gravity
    You also forgot, I wont hit the wall because it’s also going at 1600kph.
    I would need extra force on top of my 1600 to hit the wall.


    Yes Paul. Obviously you think NASA is imagining that their rockets are getting an extra 1600 kph horizontal boost when launched eastward.

    So when the rocket fires, it is obviously best to accelerate eastwards, where you start with the speed 1600 km/h eastwards.

    If you still haven't got it, you never will.
    How could they be so stupid!! There is no horizontal force acting on
    their rockets to give an extra 1600kph velocity on lift off!!!
    Could you email them and tell them to smarten up?
    No wonder none of their rockets make it to orbit.
    I can only repeat: Your ignorance is amazing.

    It is very obvious how you arrived at the equation.
    You noticed that the perihelion advance in "/century of

    But to make the function fit the three points better, you

    that the fudge factor should be 3 solar diameters.

    But your equation 1/(r+3R)² is nonsense.
    You can't seriously claim that:
    1/(r+3R)² = 4.3240E-16 per square km
    means that the perihelion advance for mercury is 43.240 "/century


    ! !
    My formula more accurately predicts the preccession
    of mercury than GR can.
    Your formula is a curve fitting function which give the values you have designed it to show. But you have only managed to give a number
    which is 1E-17 smaller that you wanted it be, and with
    the dimension 1/km^2 in stead of arcsec.
    You could have made your equation meaningful like this:
    (1E17 km²/arcsec)/(r + 3R)² = number of arcsec per century
    But it would still be a curve fitting equation
    which only works (but not very well) for the three
    planets it was designed to fit.

    You can if you want. I’ll stick to my original one.
    It can be translated into arc seconds, arc minutes, per century , per year , per orbit
    etc.
    You mean that 1/(r+3R)² = 4.3240E-16 per square km
    can be interpreted as arc seconds, arc minutes, per century ,

    Its not square km. That’s your fantasy.
    It is a ratio. Do all the known planets. You get 4 numbers that
    show exactly the proportionate difference of preccession there
    is between all 4.
    Anyways. You can’t change the fact ..it accurately predicts
    the anomalous preccession . Better than GR. because it uses
    the only 2 important parameters involved with the anomaly
    Perehilion and Solar radius.
    Einsteins didn’t work because the anomaly has nothing to do with
    Orbital eccentricity or the speed of light. Etc. His is a fake.


    Dont forget...Even Alberts formula has to get converted
    mathematically seperately to whatever format is needed. His version doesn’t automatically supply every variation of yrs,days ,orbits ,seconds centuries,minutes etc
    The GR equation δφ = 6πGM/a(1−e²)c²
    give radians per orbit which can't be interpreted as anything else.

    Does it give arcseconds per century?
    No. You have to manually convert it to different formats.
    No different from my formula.

    Do you _really_ believe that you are subjected to a constant
    HORIZONTAL force pushing you in the eastward direction?
    If yes, why don't you accelerate HORIZONTALLY eastwards
    according to Newton's law a = F/m?

    I did. There is a horizontal force acting on your chair, the room your house etc.

    So your answer to the first question is yes,
    But you have not answered the second question:
    If a force F is pushing you eastwards, why do you not
    ACCELERATE eastwards according to Newton's law a = F/m?

    My evidence is that NASA uses this very same force to add an extra 1600kph >> launch speed to their rockets.
    Now answer this question...if there is no horizontal eastward force acting on
    your chair house, NASA rockets etc..then where does the force come from to
    supply this extra 1600kph velocity to NASA rockets?

    Yes, your velocity in the non rotating ECI frame is
    CONSTANT 1600 km/h in the horizontal eastwards direction.
    It is CONSTANT because no horizontal force is acting on you.
    Newtons 1. law.
    If a horizontal, eastwards force was acting on you, your speed
    would increase, you would move faster that your room and hit the wall.

    Lou is confused by the friction between a heavy table and the floor. His mental model is that the table is naturally stationary, but subjected to a horizontal force by the rotating earth.

    The interesting question here is how many physics students are confused
    in the same way, after finishing the course. Or perhaps understood correctly, but later forgot and reverted to previous ideas.

    This experiment was done some years go, in economics. Freshmen, without previous study of the subject, were tested. They failed badly. Then, following
    an introductory course, given the same test. They had learned much. Eight months later, tested again... and reverted to their previous misconceptions! Only a fraction of the coursework was retained in long term memory.

    -----------------

    You are claiming to give a "classical" (Newtonian)
    explanation of the H&K experiment, but you seem
    to be ignorant of elementary "classical" physics.

    Below is the elementary Newtonian physics relevant
    to this thread.

    I will advice you not to dispute what the rest of
    the world has known for centuries.

    According to Newton's gravitation there is a force acting on you.
    F = GMm/r²,
    where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth,
    m is your mass, and r is the radius of the Earth.
    The direction of this force is downwards towards the centre of
    the Earth.

    In the non rotating Earth centred frame of reference, your velocity
    is tangential to the surface (horizontal) and towards the east.
    Your speed is constant v = 465.1⋅cos(latitude) m/s because
    no force with direction along the velocity is acting on you.

    So there is only one force acting on you. It is perpendicular
    to your velocity in the ECI frame (vertical) and is giving you
    a centripetal acceleration GMm/r² which is making you go
    in a circle.

    The end!

    g force prevents you from doing so
    And proof that your claim is nonsense is that NASA uses this seperate eastward force to enable greater escape velocity against the downward force of earths gravity.

    The Earth's circumference was measured 240 BC. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200606/history.cfm

    “Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to *change its state by the action of an external force*. This tendency to resist changes in a state of motion is inertia.”

    Notice that if there were no gravity from earth then you and the table would travel in a straight line at a uniform speed. And no longer be subject to the Horizontal eastward 1600kph force from the planet below you.
    But there is another external force...it’s called gravity. And it’s constantly changing your direction of motion and preventing you from
    leaving the surface of the planet and be freed of that constant 1600 kph force imparted to you from the planet beneath you.
    So your mistake is to think you and your table are travelling at a uniform speed in a straight line.
    You aren’t. You are rotating at 1600 kph in a circle.
    And as I’ve already said, but you conveniently snipped, NASA uses
    this tangental force from the earth on its rocket at liftoff to
    get an additional 1600 kph velocity.
    An additional 1600 velocity that you, Volney and a Rich D pretend
    doesn’t exist!!😂🐿🌰🥜


    A fine lecture about Newton's first law. Well done!

    I knew that if there were no gravity, I would keep moving
    in a straight line at 1600 km/h relative to the Earth,
    and not be subject to a horizontal eastward force.

    What I didn't know, but now have learned, is that because it
    is a gravitational force perpendicular to my velocity relative
    to the Earth, I am subject to a horizontal eastward 1600kph force from
    the planet below me.

    Thanks for teaching me.

    BTW, how many Newtons is a 1600 kph force?

    Do you _really_ believe that you are subjected to a constant
    HORIZONTAL force pushing you in the eastward direction?
    If yes, why don't you accelerate HORIZONTALLY eastwards
    according to Newton's law a = F/m?

    I did. There is a horizontal force acting on your chair, the room your house etc.

    So your answer to the first question is yes,
    But you have not answered the second question:
    If a force F is pushing you eastwards, why do you not
    ACCELERATE eastwards according to Newton's law a = F/m?

    My evidence is that NASA uses this very same force to add an extra 1600kph
    launch speed to their rockets.
    Now answer this question...if there is no horizontal eastward force acting on
    your chair house, NASA rockets etc..then where does the force come from to
    supply this extra 1600kph velocity to NASA rockets?

    Yes, your velocity in the non rotating ECI frame is
    CONSTANT 1600 km/h in the horizontal eastwards direction.
    It is CONSTANT because no horizontal force is acting on you.
    Newtons 1. law.

    This is probably where you and Paul made your mistakes.
    You don’t know the difference between angular acceleration
    and constant speed in a straight line.
    The person at the table isn’t moving at a constant velocity in a straight line
    eastward.
    They are *accelerating and rotating* eastward around the earths axis at 1600kph.
    And the reason why they are rotating is because the force of gravity
    is preventing the person from travelling off in a straight line at a constant speed
    out into space. Paul and you both also forgot that energy can be stored in a flywheel.
    And imparted as tangental force to anyonewho touches that flywheel.
    That’s physics. Not some imaginary spacetime nonsense.



    If a horizontal, eastwards force was acting on you, your speed
    would increase, you would move faster that your room and hit the wall.
    Lou is confused by the friction between a heavy table and the floor. His mental model is that the table is naturally stationary, but subjected to a horizontal force by the rotating earth.


    I never said the table is stationary. On the contrary, I said it is *rotating* eastward
    at 1600kph. Along with the rest of the planet. Something you don’t seem understand. The reason why it experiences constant tangental force from
    the rotating planet is because a second force gravity prevents it from travelling off into a straight line at a constant speed.
    You repeat Newton’s 1st law...but yet dont realise the difference between constant
    speed in a straight line and angular acceleration around an axis.


    The interesting question here is how many physics students are confused
    in the same way, after finishing the course. Or perhaps understood correctly,
    but later forgot and reverted to previous ideas.

    This experiment was done some years go, in economics. Freshmen, without previous study of the subject, were tested. They failed badly. Then, following
    an introductory course, given the same test. They had learned much. Eight months later, tested again... and reverted to their previous misconceptions! Only a fraction of the coursework was retained in long term memory.

    Sounds a lot like relativists. They also haven’t studied the basics of physics for
    years. And forgotten it all.

    Below is the elementary Newtonian physics relevant

    I will advice you not to dispute what the rest of
    the world has known for centuries.
    I expected you to dispute it, though.
    Your problem isn't only your total ignorance of physics.
    More severe is your ignorance of the fact that you are
    ignorant of physics.

    According to Newton's gravitation there is a force acting on you.
    F = GMm/r²,
    where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth,
    m is your mass, and r is the radius of the Earth.
    The direction of this force is downwards towards the centre of
    the Earth.

    In the non rotating Earth centred frame of reference, your velocity
    is tangential to the surface (horizontal) and towards the east.
    Your speed is constant v = 465.1⋅cos(latitude) m/s because
    no force with direction along the velocity is acting on you.

    Pure and total nonsense.
    You are experiencing force from gravity downwards yes.
    But you would experience that same amount of force even if the earth wasnt spinning!
    So therefore seeing as the earth also spins eastward...this eastward rotation also pushes you eastward with a seperate force. The only reason why you don’t go flying off into space...is because the seperate downwards
    g force prevents you from doing so
    And proof that your claim is nonsense is that NASA uses this seperate eastward
    force to enable greater escape velocity against the downward force of earths gravity.


    So there is only one force acting on you. It is perpendicular
    to your velocity in the ECI frame (vertical) and is giving you
    a centripetal acceleration GMm/r² which is making you go
    in a circle.

    Only one gravitational force down yes.
    But the spinning earth also pushes you eastward.
    And that is a seperate force.
    Otherwise storing energy in spinning flywheel wouldn’t
    work.
    Quite.
    Newton's first law of motion is wrong.

    I think we leave it at that! :-D

    Yes Paul. It is you who forgot Newton’s first law:

    “Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to *change its state by the action of an external force*. This tendency to resist changes in a state of motion is inertia.”

    Phew. Looks like NASA rockets can make escape velocity. Fortunately

    Thanks for teaching me.


    No problem. Baby steps for baby minds.

    Really! Now if you had studied physics instead of accounting

    It does. So do all the heavens, on a daily and annual basis, revolve around the earth. This has been observed for thousands of years. That's science: observations, a/k/a reality.

    Then, being human, we invent "explanations" for those observations. Which
    is the other part of science. And being human, with limited neural capacity, we choose the simplest among competing explanations. (look up Ockham)
    Why are we built this way? It's complicated, ask Darwin -

    Astronomers found Copernicus simpler than Ptolemy. The rest is history -

    So yeah, the sun rotates around the earth. Just watch the sky, to verify this truth -

    If the x is painted on the truck then I would assume he would land on the x. Seeing as he has the trucks 100 mph.
    If it’s painted on the ground at the exact point at which he jumps up as he he travels over (?) then the closest option I would assume would be ii) seeing as he has the velocity of the trick vectored into his jump.

    Now answer this question please. Assuming that after the aliens had vacuumed all the atmosphere away, they then hovered their ship 2 meters above the equator but not
    rotating with the equator so they were in the ECI frame and watching the earth spin by them at 1600kph.
    If someone standing on the earths surface at the equator threw a rock straight up 2 m into
    the air gently just when the spaceship passed overhead...
    i) would the rock hit the spaceship at 1600 kph and destroy the spaceship?
    Or
    iI) would the rock gently bounce off the spaceship and fall straight back down onto the ground?

    According to Paul, You and Monty Python the answer would be ii)

    Exactly. Gravity’s downward force doesn’t have anything to do

    A horizontal force due to earths

    The 1600 km/h speed doesn't "counter gravity’s downward force",
    it only give the rocket an initial horizontal 1600 km/h speed
    in the ECI-frame.

    (Horizontal speed is tangential, that is perpendicular to radius
    vector from Earth's centre. Vertical is parallel to radius vector.)

    Have you never seen the liftoff of a rocket on TV?
    Before liftoff, the rocket is vertical and moving sideways
    with the speed 1600 km/h in the ECI frame along with the ground.
    When the rocket fires, the thrust of the rocket engine will
    overcome gravity’s downward force, the rocket will lift off
    and accelerate vertically. The vertical speed will increase
    while the sideways horizontal speed will remain the same.
    Some time after liftoff the rocket will veer off eastwards
    and then the tangential speed will increase from the initial
    1600km/h.

    (I don't know why I bother to explain what you seem not
    to be able to understand.)

    the particles collide, clump together and these collisions give the proto planet it’s angular momentum.

    You first are talking about angular acceleration and now you are talking about uniform circular motion! You do understand that these are two different things, right?

    20velocity%2C%20%CF%89%2C%20is,angular%20velocity%20does%20not%20change.

    The velocity vector, v , is always tangent to the circle.
    The acceleration vector, a, is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, because the magnitude of the velocity vector does not change.
    The acceleration vector, a, always points towards the center of the circle. The acceleration vector has magnitude a=v2/R .
    The angular velocity, ω, is related to the magnitude of the velocity vector by v=ωR and is constant.
    and, finally...
    The angular acceleration, α, is zero for uniform circular motion, since the angular velocity does not change.

    It is quite clear that you do not know what you do not know, so not much has changed...

    The direction of this force is downwards towards the centre of

    A downwards force F = GMm/r² is acting on you,
    keeping you on the ground.


    In the non rotating Earth centred frame of reference, your velocity >>>> |>> is tangential to the surface (horizontal) and towards the east.
    Your speed is constant v = 465.1⋅cos(latitude) m/s because
    no force with direction along the velocity is acting on you.

    You are moving at at a speed v = 465.1⋅cos(latitude) m/s
    in the ECI-frame because the Earth is spinning.
    If you were standing on horizontal ice, and no horizontal force
    could be mediated from the ice to your feet, you would still move
    horizontally along with the ground with the speed.
    So NO HORIZONTAL FORCE is acting on you.

    The fact that the downward push from gravity make you stay on

    Yet another fanciful interpretation!
    Nobody but you think there is "a horizontal push".

    I think you now have demonstrated your utter ignorance of

    https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Book%3A_Introductory_Physics_-_Building_Models_to_Describe_Our_World_(Martin_Neary_Rinaldo_and_Woodman)/06%3A_Applying_Newtons_Laws/6.03%3A_Uniform_circular_motion#:~:text=The%20angular%
    20velocity%2C%20%CF%89%2C%20is,angular%20velocity%20does%20not%20change.

    The velocity vector, v , is always tangent to the circle.
    The acceleration vector, a, is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, because the magnitude of the velocity vector does not change.
    The acceleration vector, a, always points towards the center of the circle. The acceleration vector has magnitude a=v2/R .
    The angular velocity, ω, is related to the magnitude of the velocity vector by v=ωR and is constant.
    and, finally...
    The angular acceleration, α, is zero for uniform circular motion, since the angular velocity does not change.

    It is quite clear that you do not know what you do not know, so not much has changed...

    I was always talking about uniform circular motion.,
    I said this in virtually post I have made.
    Look at all my posts in this thread . Did I ever say that
    the earths rotation was increasing?
    No
    I always very specifics

    The direction of this force is downwards towards the centre of
    the Earth.
    A downwards force F = GMm/r² is acting on you,
    keeping you on the ground.

    That isn’t a force. It is an acceleration.
    The downward force is r . Not r^2.
    For classical as well as relativity.

    Notice your hero Einstein, also used just r, not r^2 to model the downward force of gravity to model its effects on his imaginary photon particles.
    Funny isn’t it Paul.
    You don’t mind Alberts theory being based on the assumption that the force of gravity falls off with r.
    But eternal damnation from idiotic relativists on any other theory that assumes that the force of gravity also falls off with r.


    In the non rotating Earth centred frame of reference, your velocity >>>> |>> is tangential to the surface (horizontal) and towards the east. >>>> |>> Your speed is constant v = 465.1⋅cos(latitude) m/s because
    no force with direction along the velocity is acting on you.
    You are moving at at a speed v = 465.1⋅cos(latitude) m/s
    in the ECI-frame because the Earth is spinning.
    If you were standing on horizontal ice, and no horizontal force
    could be mediated from the ice to your feet, you would still move horizontally along with the ground with the speed.
    So NO HORIZONTAL FORCE is acting on you.

    Nonsense. Tell me...if the same horizontal force is acting on you
    AND the ice...
    Then why should you move at a different horizontal speed than the ice?!
    Oh ! I know. Paul doesn’t know the first thing about physics.

    Fact is that classical theory predicts that the force responsible for an objects
    rotation (acceleration) around an axis will decrease the natural resonant frequency of caesium atoms (ie its “tick rate”)...the greater the force the
    atom experiences.
    A prediction confirmed by various experiments including Hafael Keating.
    Who confirmed that the faster the rotational velocity of the caesium atoms relative to the ECI frame...the greater the force on the atoms and the slower the observed tick rate will be.
    So it’s up to you relativists to disprove this successful prediction made
    by classical theory. Good luck.


    Rest of Pauls repetitive, nonsensical ranting snipped.

    Acceleration is simply not relevant to explain the TP. This is well
    understood by those that actually understand SR.

    The calculation I perform here, is a straight forward calculation in SR.

    The stay at home twin with the star, is not in the same frame as the
    traveling twin, whether considered at rest or not, so they don't agree on length, thus don't agree on the event times between the lengths. No acceleration is required to explain the final difference. Its that simple.

    I did not originate the calculation, this is actually one based on Dr. Don Lincoln, of Femi Lab, who also clearly understands that acceleration is not required, unfortunately his explanation in the link below, lost the plot at
    the end, so I fixed it up.

    Right. That's because the acceleration at turnaround is infinite.

    I refer to what’s observed. Spin an object around in a circle then release it.
    It flies off at a uniform speed in a straight line tangental to the direction of spin.
    (Although gravity then pulls it down.)

    I know Newton made quite a few mistakes (like his incorrect assumption
    that the mass could all be assumed to be at the Center of its volume leading
    to his formula not accounting for precession or galaxy rotation curves )..but to try to answer your question, here’s a quote from wiki on inertia:
    “ Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion, and objects
    at rest to stay at rest, unless another force causes its speed or direction to change.”

    If the closest to an inertial frame in this case is the ECI frame, then according to Newton it needs *force* to change speed or direction.
    Notice that you on the earth surface are continually changing direction
    as you rotate in the ECI frame. If you say that no force acts on you
    or the rocket before launch then how do you change direction in
    the ECI frame without the help of any external force?

    The direction of this force is downwards towards the centre of

    In the non rotating Earth centred frame of reference, your velocity
    is tangential to the surface (horizontal) and towards the east.
    Your speed is constant v = 465.1⋅cos(latitude) m/s because
    no force with direction along the velocity is acting on you.

    So there is only one force acting on you. It is perpendicular
    to your velocity in the ECI frame (vertical) and is giving you
    a centripetal acceleration GM/r² which is making you go
    in a circle.

    Back when I was in high school, our physics teacher was explaining Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to us. He said that Einstein had proven that a moving clock is slower than a clock that is not moving. For the moving clock I imagined a clock in
    a flying airplane, and for the clock that was not moving, a clock on the ground. It was obvious to me that if the pilot of the airplane had a slower clock than an observer on the ground had to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot would get a faster
    speed for the airplane than an observer on the ground would get using the faster clock on the ground to time the flight of the airplane. Then I read Einstein's book on the subject and was surprised to discover that the equations of Special Relativity
    show that the pilot of the airplane and the observer on the ground would get the same speed for the airplane.
    x' = (x-vt)/sqrt(12-v^2/c^2)
    y' = y
    z' = z
    t' = )t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    inverse equations
    x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = (t' + vx')/(1-v^2/c^2)
    v is the speed of the airplane and is the same speed as seen from either frame of reference. But we common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock, he will get a faster speed for the airplane.
    Special Relativity is nothing more than a mathematical description of a miracle that scientists have imagined to themselves. What would be the correct equations for what Einstein described, a clock in a flying airplane being slower than a clock on the
    ground?
    Isaac Newton used Galileo's equations for relativity, as did all scientists until 1887. Newton's interpretation of relativity used absolute time, the idea that all clocks that were working correctly would agree with one another, which I believe
    Einstein was trying to imitate in saying that the speed of the airplane would be seen the same from either frame of reference, but obviously, reality shows something different. The pilot of the airplane would get a faster speed for the airplane if his
    clock is slower. The Galilean transformation equations are
    x'=x-vt
    y'=y
    z'=z
    t'=t
    inverse equations
    x = x' - v't'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    t = t'
    v' = -v
    Notice the two little horizontal marks between t and t'. They are called an equal sign and mean that t and t' are the same number of seconds. If there is a clock in the moving frame of reference that shows less time than t, the time of the clock on the
    ground, the time of that clock is not shown in these Galilean transformation equations. In order to show the time of the slower clock in the airplane, you would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with the same distances for x
    and x', but with different variables for time and velocity. So suppose we say that the velocity of the airplane according to the time of the slower clock on the airplane is m' and the time of the slower clock is n'. Then we have
    x = x'- m'n'
    y = y'
    z = z'
    n = n'
    inverse equations
    x' = x - mn
    y'=y
    z'=z
    n'=n
    m' = -m
    Since distances are the same in all of these Galilean equations, vt = -m'n'. So the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane would be m' = -vt/n', a faster speed for the airplane if the clock in the airplane is slower than a clock on the ground. These equations describe reality as we observe it to be. They indicate that
    there is no need for the miracle Einstein describes. How this relates to electromagnetism, I do not say, just that these equations describe relativity in the correct manner.
    According to relativity, the light beam in the MMX has two different speeds at once, that relative to absolute space and that relative to the Earth. Therefore, it is self-contradictory nonsense.

    Correct.
    You need the VERTICAL *force* F = GMm/r² to change the direction
    of the HORIZONTAL velocity.

    To continually changing the HORIZONTAL velocity, without changing
    the constant speed 1600 km/s, you must have a perpendicular force,
    namely the continually VERTICAL force F = GMm/r².

    You need the VERTICAL *force* F = GMm/r² to change the direction

    r^2 is not a force. It is an acceleration.
    You keep on snipping the fact that relativity itself uses r to model
    the force of gravity. Not r^2.

    of the HORIZONTAL velocity.

    If you don’t think the horizontal “velocity” is a force then the evidence
    is against you.

    For instance: Touch your hand to a spinning wheel.
    If there is no tangental force in the spinning wheel....then
    what is it that knocks your hand away tangentially to the spin?

    You continue to also ignore other facts. If there were no tangential force in earths spin then NASA could not use this force to *save* on rocket
    fuel when launching rockets into the solar system.


    Notice that you on the earth surface are continually changing direction >>> as you rotate in the ECI frame. If you say that no force acts on you
    or the rocket before launch then how do you change direction in
    the ECI frame without the help of any external force?
    Correct again.

    I’m glad you finally admit that it is the horizontal (tangential)force that gives the extra boost to NASA rockets.
    Though it took you long enough to realise that gravity points down to
    center of the earth and not horizontally.

    However the best evidence supporting this horizontal force is Hafael Keatings experiment. Where the greater the horizontal force on the caesium atom...
    the slower the tick rates of the atomic clock.
    Another fabulously successful prediction for classical physics.

    Speed "relative to absolute space" is gibberish nonsense, and is not
    part of relativity. Einstein explicitly stated that points in empty
