    From Richard Hachel@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 24 12:24:31 2024
    If I put two watches of the same internal manufacture, that is to say two watches of the same chronotropy (chronotropy is the internal way of a
    watch to measure time), and I notice that one marks 3 o'clock, and the
    other three and a quarter, I conclude that they are not synchronized. Synchronizing two watches means for Dr. Hachel (I don't know about
    others), that at a certain moment they mark the same time.
    For example, I synchronize the watches at the start of the Langevin, and
    the two watches mark t=0.
    At the end of the experiment, the two watches are desynchronized, they no longer mark the same time at the same instant for the observer.

    Synchronizing means, matching the instants at a given moment, on watches
    of identical chronotropy at the start.

    Saying "and making them beat at the same rhythm" is ridiculous. This is necessarily included in the reasoning.

    It would not occur to anyone to experiment with a lousy watch that beats
    faster or slower than another.

    Now, further (this is Hachel speaking, let's give way to the master of
    RR).
    What happens if I set two identical watches (same chronotropy) on my table
    and I slowly move one of them towards the moon
    (let's say in three weeks to avoid a v²/c² ratio very different from 1)?

    I notice in my telescope that when my watch marks
    00:00'08" the lunar clock is desynchronized and marks 00:00'07".

    Is this true or not?

    No, it's not true
    Python

    If it's Python who protests, of course it's true.

    The fundamental question, absolutely fundamental, absolutely dramatic, absolutely scientific and above all absolutely relativistic, is: WHY are watches out of sync?

    There, two very clear opinions will oppose each other, that of the idiot Python, and that of the true genius of humanity Hachel.

    This will inevitably create the most magnificent sparks in the entire
    history of relativity, and forty years of hatred, misunderstandings,
    bullshit, whining..

    I'll ask my question again, of such depth that we must warn potential contenders for armed conflict with Hachel not to answer stupid things.

    WHY are watches out of sync?

    Because I love them, me, my two watches, and it hurts my heart to see them
    in this sad state.

    Who can answer the best RR theorist in history (me) without answering
    beside the point, but totally beside the point?

    Who has this formidable level (a moment of hope).

    So the two clocks on your desk are synchronous.

    If we ignore the gravitational blue shift, and pretend that
    the ECI frame is a true inertial frame, then the lunar clock will
    lag 0.45 μs on the Earth clock.

    Which we will ignore, as you said we should.

    So we will consider the clocks to be synchronous (within 1 μs).


    I notice in my telescope that when my watch marks
    00:00'08" the lunar clock is desynchronized and marks 00:00'07".

    Don't be ridiculous.

    In the telescope you will see the clock showing 00:00'06.72".
    Unless you are a complete moron, you will understand that
    the lunar clock must have advanced 1.28" since the light
    you see in the telescope was emitted.
    So the clock is really 00:00'06.72" + 1.28" = 00:00'08".

    The clocks are still synchronous.

    Which is blazingly obvious, so what is the point
    with the nonsense below?

    WHY are watches out of sync?
    Am I to understand that the genius Doctor Richard Hachel believe
    that if you look at a the lunar clock through a telescope, then
    the clock will be affected and set 1.28" back and be desynchronised?
    What happens when you stop looking?
    Will the clock be set 1.28" forward and again be synchronised?

    No. Not even you can seriously believe so.
    You know that the clocks can't be affected by being looked at,
    so what was your point with this?

    Of course, I can't change lunar time by looking at it.
    If the watch is red, and round, and shows 00:00'07" at the
    moment I look at it, well, it's a truism that the watch is red, and round,
    and shows 00:00'07" at the moment I look at it, and that's what's over
    there.
    That's not what I'm talking about, obviously.
    What I'm saying is that I, right now, have a watch that is out of sync and shows 00:00'08"
    The question is: why don't the two watches show the same time anymore?
    Two possible explanations, not just one.
    Römer's, Hachel's.
    Both explain in their own way why the two watches are out of sync.
    It goes without saying that Hachel's explanation far surpasses Römer's
    and leads to the most beautiful theory of relativity ever revealed.
    Römer's explanation leads to nothing at all.
    The beautiful thing is to say that "photons move at c".
    The genius is to say that transactions are instantaneous, and that it is
    men's ignorance of the correct space-time that creates this luminic
    illusion.
    With Hachel, the watches are truly mutually out of sync although they work
    very well, and with the same internal chronotropy.
    In fact, it is not the watches, which are desynchronized, but the "spatial places".
    It is really 00:00'07" over there, at the very moment when it is 00:00'08" here.
    And vice versa.
    This is universal anisochrony.

    It's not up to me to explain, but up to you to understand what's going on. First, let's not talk about gravitational shift towards blue, red, etc.,
    these are notions of general relativity, and it's already complicated
    enough to have a serious dialogue with just a very simple notion of SR.
    So you have to explain this strange fact.
    I admit that the moon is exactly 3.10^8m away (a little closer than in
    reality for a simple measurement).
    I set the two watches in absolutely identical ways, and I sent one to the
    moon, after a three-week trip in order to have a speed that is not very important compared to c and therefore (1-v²/c² ~1).
    Something is going to get strange.
    The watches are going to get out of sync. I notice that they always beat
    at the same time and that the chronotropy is not altered,
    but yet, when my watch shows 00:00'08" the lunar clock shows, at the same
    time, 00:00'07".
    This is frankly abnormal, and we are in the same hypothesis as Römer, observing the moons of Jupiter, and noticing abnormal things.
    What is needed is to explain things, and for that, it takes a genius
    greater than that of Römer who gave an explanation that, later, will
    probably make people laugh when we really understand the theory of
    relativity.
    The question remains: What is happening with my two watches? Why do they
    no longer show the same time?

    enough to have a serious dialogue with just a very simple notion of SR.
    So you have to explain this strange fact.
    I admit that the moon is exactly 3.10^8m away (a little closer than in reality for a simple measurement).
    I set the two watches in absolutely identical ways, and I sent one to
    the moon, after a three-week trip in order to have a speed that is not
    very important compared to c and therefore (1-v²/c² ~1).

    Why do your repeat this?

    We agree that the clock at your table and the lunar clock
    still are synchronous after the latter clock has been
    moved very slowly to the Moon.

    Something is going to get strange.
    The watches are going to get out of sync. I notice that they always beat
    at the same time and that the chronotropy is not altered,
    but yet, when my watch shows 00:00'08" the lunar clock shows, at the
    same time, 00:00'07".

    This is the very point.
    Why do you guess that if you look at the lunar clock with
    a telescope (something you haven't done) then you would see
    that it lagged 1 second on the clock at your table?

    Remember, only you know what's going on, so you better explain.

    This is frankly abnormal, and we are in the same hypothesis as Römer, observing the moons of Jupiter, and noticing abnormal things.

    Why do you say that Römer noticed abnormal things?

    Römer noticed that the visually observed time Io was eclipsed by
    Jupiter varied with the time of the year. And since the orbital time
    of Io was supposed to be constant, this variation could only
    be explained by that the speed of light is finite.
    When the distance to Jupiter was increasing, the distance to Jupiter
    was shorter when the eclipse started, than it was when it ended,
    and the eclipse would be seen to last a bit longer than average.
    When the distance to Jupiter was decreasing, the opposite would happen.
    This made it possible for Römer to estimate the speed of light.

    That the speed of light is finite is hardly "abnormal things".

    What is needed is to explain things, and for that, it takes a genius
    greater than that of Römer who gave an explanation that, later, will probably make people laugh when we really understand the theory of relativity.

    Yes, that is my very point.
    You are the genius claiming abnormal things, and it is the genius' responsibility to _explain_ these abnormal things.

    So please explain!

    The question remains: What is happening with my two watches? Why do they
    no longer show the same time?

    Why indeed.

    Römer's conclusion "the speed of light is finite" was based
    on measurements.
    You have never observed the lunar clock in a telescope.

    So the first point you have to clear up, is:

    Why do you _guess_ that if you look at the lunar clock with
    a telescope, then you would see that it lagged 1 second on
    the clock at your table?

    When you have explained this, we can take it from there.

    Well if she's been stupid enough to marry crook, this would make perfect
    sense.

    Fortunately this is an imaginary wife. No woman on Earth is that stupid.

    Ah, but here is my explanation! Thank you sir!
    There is a one-second time difference between 00:00:08 and 00:00:07",
    between my watch and the watch on the moon.
    This is because of the speed of light, which is quite slow, and takes at
    least a second to reach me.
    And so that explains everything.
    It's magnificent, I understand better.
    Here it is, my explanation.
    I am infinitely grateful to you... So that was it!

    Thanks for a clear explanation.

    You don't _guess_ that if you look at the lunar clock with
    a telescope, then you would see that it lagged 1 second on
    the clock at your table.

    You _know_ that since the speed of light is c, then the image of
    the lunar clock you see in the telescope is delayed by 1 second.

    That means that when the clock you see in the telescope is showing
    00:00:07, you _know_ that the lunar clock is showing 1 second more,
    namely 00:00:08, which is the same as the clock on your table.

    So you know that the clocks are still synchronous.

    And so that explains everything.
    It's magnificent, I understand better.
    Here it is, my explanation.
    I am infinitely grateful to you... So that was it!

    Quite.
    Thanks for the explanation.

    But why did you say that you could change the reading
    of the lunar clock by looking at it, when you know you can't?
