Again Robert, you have a notational problem. You've been trying to learn from idiots who want to look clever, but they are still idiots. The correct FORM of the cuckoo transform is tau = t * sqrt(1-vē/cē) xi = x' / sqrt(1-vē/cē) eta = y zeta= z There is no t'. Think of it this way. A welding rod or a train moves along a track, so the tip or engine is always increasing x. The length of the rod (don't strike an arc) or the train doesn't change. Now Einstein calls the length of the rod (or train) x', he says x' = x-vt. That's actually true, we can create a table of values and prove it. I'll use a spreadsheet. x t v = x/t x'=x-vt 10 0 2 10 12 1 2 10 14 2 2 10 16 3 2 10 18 4 2 10 20 5 2 10 22 6 2 10 24 7 2 10 26 8 2 10 28 9 2 10 30 10 2 10 x t v = x/t x'=x-vt 10 0 200 10 210 1 200 10 410 2 200 10 610 3 200 10 810 4 200 10 1010 5 200 10 1210 6 200 10 1410 7 200 10 1610 8 200 10 1810 9 200 10 2010 10 200 10 Now that is the first operation, and we've used up x' and v. The SECOND operation is gamma to change the length of the rod or the train. xi = x' * gamma tau = t / gamma to make the ant crawling along the rod have the same speed on the rod as it does on the plate being welded, which is silly. > Well, that is enough for today. Ok. Ask again if you have any trouble. Androcles. |
