Sure they do. tau = (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is a function of x as well as v. tau t x v 5.77 0 -10 0.5 0.00 0 0 0.5 -5.77 0 10 0.5 > The original poster seems to think that Lorentz transformations > move things around.

The time at x = 10 is -5.77 and at x = -10 is 5.77 for v = 0.5c It's nonsense of course, but then, so is everything about relativity. Androcles |
