I faced a really strange attempt by several posters yesterday to disprove my ideas, published at http://www.masstheory.org As these gentlemen do not know SRT, but claim otherwise, I must give them a short lesson. The SRT lesson to relativity supporters ---------------------------------------- Any number of points in a still inertial system x1, x2, x3,... xn share the same time t. Any number of points in an inertial system moving uniformly x1', x2', x3',... xn' share the same time t'. I insist that this is the Special Relativity standpoint - it allows for different inertial systems to have different measures of space and time, but entire inertial system shares "single" time. This allows us to write Lorentz equations in the form Dx' = Dx sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) I found now on the web virtually the same explanation for this that I gave to Dirk yesterday. Please visit the http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/tdil.html and tell me how is length contraction and time dilation formula explanation different from the explanation I gave in the yesterday's thread (subject: origin of inertia). I gave equations, which are standard physics textbook simplified Lorentz transformations. What's the problem then? ------------------------ Dirk Van de Moortel has introduced a view that each point in THE SAME inertial system has its own time (x1, t1), (x2, t2), ... etc. And insists that this is the SRT point if view. His interpretation, supported by several other posters, is that in original Lorentz equations one can place a "delta" in front of every coordinate (which assumes that each point x1, x2,... has its own time t1, t2, etc. both for primed and non-primed coordinates), like this: Dx' = g ( Dx - v Dt ) Dt' = g ( Dt - v Dx / c^2 ) with g = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) Which results in claim that the example Dx' = 1/2 Dx Dt' = 2 Dt can only be valid for Dx' = Dt' = Dx = Dt = 0. Solution -------- Come on people, there must be knowledgeable people reading this. Regardless of my view that entire SRT is a historic joke of human kind, or perhaps YOURS that relativity is valid theory, NO supporter of relativity should defend favorite theory by misrepresentation.
