The SR definition led physicists to a 100 years of wild goose chase:
TIME (duration) is what the clock measures.

This SR definition implies that a clock second represents the same
amount of TIME (duration) in different frames. This means that a clock
second is an interval of universal TIME. This, in turn, leads to the
assertion that time is flexible. This means that when two clocks are
in relative motion the different clock seconds accumlulated by each
clock is due to that the flow of TIME through the clocks is different
in different frames. In other words, the different clock seconds
accumulated by each clock is not due to that the clocks are running at
different rates when they are in different frames.

On the other hand SR also asserts that the passage of a clock second
in observer A's clock corresponds to the passage of less than a clock
second in the observed B clock. This means that a clock second is not
an interval of universal TIME.

It appears that SR is making contradictory claims.

The correct SR interpretation of TIME should be as follows:
1. Absolute time exists. The rate of passage of absolute time in
insensitive to any motion. In other words, the rate of passage of
absolute time is the same in all frames.
2. A clock second will represents a specfic interval of absolute time
at the frame of the clock.
3. A clock second in different frames will represent different
interval of absolute time.
4. Clocks in relative motion run at different rates intrinsically.

These new interpretations of TIME gives a viable explanation why the
speed of light is measured to be a constant math ratio in all frames
as follows:
Light path length of ruler (299,792,458 m long physically)/the
absolute time content for a clock second co-moving with the ruler.

This new definition for the speed of light gives rise to a new theory
of relativity called: Improved Relativity Theory (IRT). IRT includes
SRT as a subset. However, unlkie SRT the equations of IRT are valid in
all environments, including gravity. A Paper on IRT entitled "Improved
Relativity Theory and Doppler Theory of Gravity" is available in my
website:

TIME (duration) is what the clock measures.
FIRST mistake.
This is not an SR definition. This is a HUMAN BEINGS definition.
If we all carry the same type of clock, then we all use it to measure
something we *call* time.
SR has something to say about what we will find when we all
measure how long a certain well-defined process takes while using
our own personal clocks.

This SR definition implies that a clock second represents the same
amount of TIME (duration) in different frames.
SECOND mistake.
This definition implies that a clock second CAN represent a
DIFFERENT amount of time (duration) in different frames.

This is where your personal wild goose starts.

Univserse to Dirk,
Come in Dirk
Are you actually thinking at all?
clocks CAN and DO represent different amounts of
periodic count rates in different frames. (It is called time dilation)
Sheesh!
It is simple too,
The clock malfunctions and shows a different time on the
face than the other clock does. and even more stupid,
if they did not have such a physical problem, there would be no
discussion about this at all.
DUH! and....
Sheesh again!

It is amazing that some people can not tell
that if the clocks did not have the same time
when they came back together, than one clock
"did not" keep the proper rate of the "second"
It is really sad that such an old historical fact
about clocks changing rates has been ignored
all over again.
But, the good thing is,
They are sitting there repeating history,
while others that find out the clock had the problem,
and it was not "time" slowing,
will be marching forward in science.

again you are making sense !!!
time is a human invention
and is nothing but
motion comparison
2
the real physical phenomenon is
as i saied
that it becomes more and more difficult
to add velocity to your moving mass
compared to the reference moving entity
that ***stays outside*** your examined moving
(accelerated ) frame
2
it is possible that in the experiment of the two clocks
the very movement has some real efefct
on the accelerated clock
THAT IS COMPOSED OF MATTER !!
may be for instance, the gravitation force
is the cause that acts on the moving clock
in the gravitational field ???!!!
(not on 'time' but on the material of the clock
even if it is an Atomic clock ???!!!
the Atomic clock has electrons and Protons
that its motion might be affected ??!!!

Near a planet, of course. But as a demonstration of inertia
a fair interpretation takes a very simple form.


If 1/2 the mass in the universe is moving toward the clock
and 1/2 the mass in the universe is moving away from the
clock, can there be any resultant gravito-inertial force on any part
of the clock ?

Not according to the relativity principle.

<< "All inertial frames are totally equivalent for the
performance of all physical experiments."

In other words, it is impossible to perform a physical experiment
which differentiates in any fundamental sense between different
inertial frames. By definition, Newton's laws of motion take the
same form in all inertial frames. Einstein generalized this result
in his special theory of relativity by asserting that all laws of
physics take the same form in all inertial frames. >>

As Einstein said:
"The weakness of the principle of inertia lies in this, that it
involves an argument in a circle: a mass moves without
acceleration if it is sufficiently far from other bodies; we
know that it is sufficiently far from other bodies only by
the fact that it moves without acceleration." >>

You can find it walking across a large

their field is attenuated by 1/r^2.

An increase in the walker's (or better roller skater's)
mass causes an increase in the forces from behind as well
as the forces from ahead.

Is

the same as


m2 * m1

Why not, it violated newton I am hearing.
what makes it invulnerable to fact?
the funny thing is it violated newton by using rubber rulers
and malfunctioning clocks.
silly relativity.
Great for "observation" but will only get you splatted
against a planet that could care lesss about what you think it's

Alternative?
none for the gravity equations themselves..
but....
I want to find a physical cause for it .
not that stupid ass mathematical "space-time"
bullshit cause that relativity has, lacking "physical cause"
completely.

space is lack of objects or space where objects are
and time is a periodic counting method
If such is a physical cause..
it sure lacks the physical part.

from that car and your mass would have stopped you from moving
fast enough to stay within the car moving aways gravity effect.
So???.
Tada.
:)
An increase in the walker's (or better roller skater's)
mass causes an increase in the forces from behind as well
as the forces from ahead.
Is
m1 * m2
the same as
m2 * m1
the increase in mass slows the forces propagation time.
It takes a bit more time to yank the higher mass from it's rest spot.
So... Anvils fall faster or slower than feathers?
Hint:
When you increase the mass, you increse the
generator of the force. ( in all directions ) ;-)

The box that has the product of masses (Mm)
in it is quite comfortable. What is your
alternative for gravitational force between
two masses?
Alternative?
none for the gravity equations themselves..
Then it looks like you are stuck with feathers
and anvils that fall together and you need
to rethink your response about the skater's mass.
Post by Spaceman
but....
I want to find a physical cause for it .
not that stupid ass mathematical "space-time"
bullshit cause that relativity has, lacking "physical cause"
completely.
Here is a plausible mechanism that doesn't get much
applause from the black hole community.

THE ORIGIN OF GRAVITY
C.P. Kouropoulos
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0107015v1

See also:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gravity
Post by Spaceman
space is lack of objects or space where objects are
and time is a periodic counting method
If such is a physical cause..
it sure lacks the physical part.
You are not the first to notice that.

<< Already Newton recognized that the

law of inertia is unsatisfactory

in a context so far unmentioned in this

exposition, namely that it gives no

real cause for the special physical

position of the states of motion of the

inertial frames relative to all other

states of motion. It makes the observable

material bodies responsible for the

gravitational behaviour of a material

point, yet indicates no material cause

for the inertial behaviour of the material

point but devises the cause for it

(absolute space or inertial ether). This

is not logically inadmissible although

it is unsatisfactory. For this reason

E. Mach demanded a modification of the

law of inertia in the sense that the

inertia should be interpreted as an

acceleration resistance of the bodies

against one another and not against "space".

This interpretation governs the expectation

that accelerated bodies have concordant

accelerating action in the same

sense on other bodies (acceleration induction).

This interpretation is even more

plausible according to general relativity

which eliminates the distinction between

inertial and gravitational effects.

It amounts to stipulating that, apart

from the arbitrariness governed by the

free choice of coordinates, the

gm v -field shall be completely determined

by the matter. Mach's stipulation is favoured

in general relativity by the circumstance

that acceleration induction in accordance

with the gravitational field equations really

exists, although of such slight intensity

that direct detection by mechanical experiments

is out of the question. >>

Hint, to move an object.
the larger mass will accelerate slower
especially with the same force on both.
So,
If you have 2 magnets one moving toward and
one moving away.
Try the same with a static electric field and
a ping pong ball if you want..
and you have a heavy iron chunk of metal evenly in
between at first..
what will happen.
Mass wants to stay still.

No
you need to start thinking of old physics like above that
you must have forgot with all the rubber ruler stuff
in your brain.
you really should flush that stuff so you can actually
think on your own all over again.

BTW:
Mass would rather stay still, and the larger the
mass, the harder it is to move it at all so
again, the "coming toward you gravity" will win.

Well, that will be pretty hard because Newton
has the mechanical locked up pretty well.
But getting rid of the rubber rulers is the first step to anything
better.
right now as it is, we have a meter that is sadly based
upon a speed.
That is a gigantic joke to science right away.
and with a clock that malfunctions are OK,
we lost science completely and that is where
all the time travel and wormhole and bullshit comes from
Remove the rubber ruler and fix the clocks.
It is what we did a long time ago.
and sadly, we need to do it again.

So you think the electron is just space?
absense of something means "nothing in place of it" doesn't it?
all that smashing up stuff to see how it works..
That is a shame really.
We will never find out what an electron is "made of"
by smashing it into something at all.
I wish I could find out how things were made by smashing
them up at super high speeds.. but ... it does not work that
way in my world.
If you think you can descrbe a fundamental particle
as a collection of composite particles you should
first try using the floor plan of a house to
explain the structural properties of a brick.

...But the more you treat leptons as real and the
less you treat Newton's inertial ether as real
the less need you'll have for "rubber rulers".
Well, that will be pretty hard because Newton
has the mechanical locked up pretty well.
Then you don't know Newton very well and you
have made that apparent in this thread.

Even he knew the instant communication he assumed
was a problem but he had no better alternative.
But getting rid of the rubber rulers is the first step to anything
better.
right now as it is, we have a meter that is sadly based
upon a speed.
That is a gigantic joke to science right away.
and with a clock that malfunctions are OK,
we lost science completely and that is where
all the time travel and wormhole and bullshit comes from
Remove the rubber ruler and fix the clocks.
It is what we did a long time ago.
and sadly, we need to do it again.
I gave you an EM course that doesn't use "rubber rulers"
and funny clocks.

I don't remember magnets having a

of 1/r^2.
I used magnets because I did not have 2 planets handy to let

Sheesh!
Call the maintenance department and ask them to
put bigger doors on your lab so you can get
planets on your bench.
I said, I don't have the planets,
I never said I don't have the room.
It would be nice if you actualyl read what is stated.

with reading what is actually stated, unless it matches the

If 1/2 the mass in the universe is moving toward the clock
and 1/2 the mass in the universe is moving away from the

nowhere..

Dirky
you are making some progress at last !!
probably due to my explanations
It is amazing that some people can not tell
that if the clocks did not have the same time
when they came back together, than one clock
"did not" keep the proper rate of the "second"
It is really sad that such an old historical fact
about clocks changing rates has been ignored
all over again.
But, the good thing is,
They are sitting there repeating history,
while others that find out the clock had the problem,
and it was not "time" slowing,
will be marching forward in science.

It is,
It is also the oldest know problem with a clock
and only fools won't see that the clocks are

It is also a change in kinetic energy of the ticker

TIME (duration) is what the clock measures.
This SR definition implies that a clock second represents the same
amount of TIME (duration) in different frames. This means that a clock
second is an interval of universal TIME. This, in turn, leads to the
assertion that time is flexible. This means that when two clocks are
in relative motion the different clock seconds accumlulated by each
clock is due to that the flow of TIME through the clocks is different
in different frames. In other words, the different clock seconds
accumulated by each clock is not due to that the clocks are running at
different rates when they are in different frames.
On the other hand SR also asserts that the passage of a clock second
in observer A's clock corresponds to the passage of less than a clock
second in the observed B clock. This means that a clock second is not
an interval of universal TIME.
It appears that SR is making contradictory claims.
1. Absolute time exists. The rate of passage of absolute time in
insensitive to any motion. In other words, the rate of passage of
absolute time is the same in all frames.
2. A clock second will represents a specfic interval of absolute time
at the frame of the clock.
3. A clock second in different frames will represent different
interval of absolute time.
4. Clocks in relative motion run at different rates intrinsically.
These new interpretations of TIME gives a viable explanation why the
speed of light is measured to be a constant math ratio in all frames
Light path length of ruler (299,792,458 m long physically)/the
absolute time content for a clock second co-moving with the ruler.
This new definition for the speed of light gives rise to a new theory
of relativity called: Improved Relativity Theory (IRT). IRT includes
SRT as a subset. However, unlkie SRT the equations of IRT are valid in
all environments, including gravity. A Paper on IRT entitled "Improved
Relativity Theory and Doppler Theory of Gravity" is available in my

By "standard clock" do you mean the observer's clock? In that case how
is it become a standard since every observer can claim that his clock
is the standard clock and at the same time the flow of clock seconds
through every observer's clock is at different rates.

Also what do you mean a clock second is a universal interval of time?
Do you mean that the passage of a clock second in A's frame

You definition that a clock second is a universal interval of time

If it uses absolute time, it would have to get rid of the lack of it,
since absolute time can make things happen simultaneously
very easily.

Yes....in IRT simultaneity is absolute as follows:
1. The speed of light is isotropic in the track frame and the train
frame.
2. In the track frame the lightning strikes occur simultaneously at
time 0.5L/c where L is the length of the train.
3. From the track observer's point of view the strikes also occur
simultaneously in the train as follows:
The light path length in the train = 0.5L*gamma
Therefore the strike will arrive at the train observer simultaneously
at time 0.5L*gamma/c.

the strike at the front has to pass the train-riding observer

1. The speed of light is isotropic in the track frame and the train
frame.
2. In the track frame the lightning strikes occur simultaneously at
time 0.5L/c where L is the length of the train.
3. From the track observer's point of view the strikes also occur
The light path length in the train = 0.5L*gamma
Therefore the strike will arrive at the train observer
simultaneously at time 0.5L*gamma/c.

Then you better flush Relativity too,
It says light-speed is constant,
No. It says that a moving observer and a stationary observer both
_measure_ light as moving at c, _in_their_own_frame_of_reference. That
does NOT imply that they both see the lighting flashes as simultaneous.

As Bryan correctly points out, the light from the rear strike must pass
the stationary observer before it can reach the moving observer. As Bryan
correctly points out, the light from the front strike must pass the moving
observer before it can reach the stationary observer. This forces a 'non
simultaneous' judgement on the moving observer while the track side
observer sees the strikes as simultaneous.

If the strikes are 'simultaneous' in the track frame, taking place as the
observers pass, then the moving observer must see the strike on the engine
before he sees the strike on the rear of the train.

There IS one way that both observers could see the flashes at the same
time. If the train carried it's own lightning machine that, in the trains
frame, fired a flash at the front and rear of the train at the right time
for the flashes to appear "simultaneously" just as the train passed the
track side observer, both observers would see the flashes as simultaneous.

To do this, at some point _before_ the observers pass, a signal must be
triggered that will fire the flashes at right time so that the flashes
arrive at 'the observers coincide' point at the exact instant that the
observers are next to each other.

In other words, the trigger to the flashes must give the signal time to
travel from one end of the train to the other end. In other words a signal
must travel from center of train, half the length of the train, to each
end, and then the flash must travel half the length of the train. In this
case, the observers will see the flashes as simultaneous because the
observers are in the same place when the flashes arrive. They won't agree,
however, on _when_ the flashes were triggered.

Did you ever understand that the earth's axial tilt makes the seasons?

If a pair of lightninig flashes causes the midpoint collision,
of a pair of light-projectiles, the launching is simultaneous as
defined in Einstein's papers.

The theory defines what is simultaneous.

<<By measuring along the rails, the connecting line AB should
be measured up and an observer placed at the mid-point M of the
distance AB. This observer should be supplied with an arrangement
(e.g. two mirrors inclined at 90°) which allows him visually to
observe both places A and B at the same time. If the observer
perceives the two flashes of lightning at the same time,
then they are simultaneous. >>
http://www.bartleby.com/173/8.html

Unfortunately, the theory then extrapolates with a
faulty model of light propagation producing some
equations that seem correct for special cases,
and others that are patently absurd.

<<Now, does not the prize to Einstein imply

that the Academy recognised the particle

nature of light? The Nobel Committee says

that Einstein had found that the energy exchange

between matter and ether occurs by atoms emitting

or absorbing a quantum of energy,hv .



As a consequence of the new concept of light quanta

(in modern terminology photons) Einstein proposed the

law that an electron emitted from a substance by

monochromatic light with the frequency has to have

a maximum energy of E=hv-p, where p is the energy needed to

remove the electron from the substance. Robert Andrews

Millikan carried out a series of measurements over a

period of 10 years, finally confirming the validity of this

law in 1916 with great accuracy. Millikan had, however,

found the idea of light quanta to be unfamiliar and strange.



The Nobel Committee avoids committing itself to the

particle concept. Light-quanta or with modern terminology,

photons, were explicitly mentioned in the reports on

which the prize decision rested only in connection with

emission and absorption processes. The Committee says

that the most important application of Einstein's photoelectric

law and also its most convincing confirmation has come from

the use Bohr made of it in his theory of atoms, which explains

a vast amount of spectroscopic data. >>

Irrelevant, then wrong. It's a vacuum.

Of course we must refer the process of the propagation of

Both the train and the track constitute [approximately] inertial frames.
Observers in either frame [according to SR] will measure the speed of light
to be c.

This fact [experimentally verified to the level of accuracy of all equipment
available] is due to [according to SR] "apparent" changes in the length of
rulers and the rate of time as measured by clocks so that measurement of the
speed of the SAME ray of light, when made from two iFoRs that are in motion
wrt each other, will both yield the identical value for the speed of the
'ray' of light.

It is a matter of space-time perspective. It is NOT the kind of 'illusion'
that optical illusions consist of. It is a '4-D illusion'.

It has to do with the fact that in 'our' frame of reference, both the source
and the walls are in motion. Light traveling toward the 'front wall' must
travel further in our FoR, so it arrives after the light that travels toward
the 'back wall'. Oh, which wall the light hits first doesn't depend on the
distance between US and the wall, nor whether the room is approaching us or
going away from us.

Actually there is no way all observers could see the light flashes

That is exactly the condition I set up. That axis passes through track side
and train board observers at the instant they are adjacent to each other.

The conditions I set forth would have both the train and track observers
seeing the flashes as simultaneous.
The 'magic' is worked by making sure that they are 'at the same place' at the
instant that the flashes arrive.
The trigger to fire the flashes, however, would occur at different times on
the track side and train observer's clocks.
The trackside observer says that the front flash must have been fired after
the back flash in order for them to arrive at his location at the same time.

He also observed that the front flash is red shifted and the back is blue
shifted due to the doppler effect. The observer on the train, of course, sees
no doppler shift and thinks the flashes were triggered at the same time.

It would NOT be needed if our orbit were much more eccentric.
But our orbit is very close to a circle.

The fact that the earth is closest to the sun in the middle of 'our' [the
northern hemisphere] winter is ample proof that the orbital eccentricity has
no great 'seasonal effects'.
Post by Spaceman

Probably not..
You really need to make a model to get an idea of the perspective and
relative effects of the tilt and variation in distance from the sun. We are
talking about something that makes a 100% difference in solar illumination
[at the poles] where the difference is huge vs a very small (3.4%) difference
in distance from the sun.

You still haven't taken that 3 inch diameter ball[earth model] and the 8.4
meter ball[sun model], 896 meters away [average sun-earth distance model]
and then 912 meters and 881 meters [furthest and nearest approach models].

You would quickly see that a 24 degree tilt in the axis of rotation makes a
big difference in illumination, whereas the small difference in earth-sun
distance makes very little difference.

Try it. You can't see any difference in size of the 8.4 meter diameter sun
model when you move from 912 meters away to 881 meters away from it.

Whether the dielectric is moving or not, the

<< According to electromagnetic theory, the speed
of propagation of a light wave through a vacuum is

c= (equation 1323)

where $\epsilon_0$ and $\mu_0$ are physical constants
which can be evaluated by performing two simple experiments
which involve measuring the force of attraction between two
fixed changes and two fixed parallel current carrying wires.
According to the relativity principle, these experiments
must yield the same values for
$\epsilon_0$ and $\mu_0$ in all inertial frames.
Thus, the speed of light must be the same in all inertial frames. >>
http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/em/lectures/node108.html

[...]

For the macroatomic case of the thought experiment, the inertial
frames of reference has nothing to do with the light path.

<<A Lorentz transformation or any other coordinate transformation
will convert electric or magnetic fields into mixtures of electric
and magnetic fields, but no transformation mixes them with the
gravitational field. >>
http://scitation.aip.org/journals/doc/PHTOAD-ft/vol_58/iss_11/31_1.shtml

That would not have been a convincing argument against Newton's
inertial ether in Einstein's time but it seems more than adaquate
today where most physicists are well versed in electromagnetism.

Hey idiot....you said: "the track-fixed observer moving toward the

the track-fixed observer before it can reach the train-riding

As Bryan correctly points out, the light from the rear strike must
pass the stationary observer before it can reach the moving observer.
again, you are adding the second frame observer and not accounting
for the distance change that makes the light non simultaneous.
Wrong. We consider the track-fixed observer stationary, and the
train-rider moving away from the light front, or we consider the
rider stationary, and the track-fixed observer moving toward the
light-front. Either way, light from the rear strike must pass
the track-fixed observer before it can reach the train-riding
observer
Sr says that the speed of light is isotropic in the train and track
frame. What you said here is that the speed of light is not isotropic
in the train frame because the train observer is moving wrt the light
fronts.
No Ken, I did not say that. Just because *your* theory comes
out contradictory doesn't mean that no consistent theory can
describe light moving at the same speed in all inertial frames.
Hey idiot....you said: "the track-fixed observer moving toward the
light-front. Either way, light from the rear strike must pass
the track-fixed observer before it can reach the train-riding
observer". This assertion means that the speed of light in the track
frame is not isotropic. Isotropy means that the observer is NOT moving
wrt the light fronts.
Wow...the clown says "This assertion means that the speed of light in
the track frame is not isotropic"....and then drops the following
rock:
"Isotropy means that the observer is NOT moving wrt the light
fronts".....Wow.
It should be clear by now that this guy is smarter than Einstein.

I don't really follow the question there, but here's how it
works according to SR:

Unlike Seto theory, SR comes out consistent. It does have to
abandon the notion of universal time.

Then you better flush Relativity too,
It says light-speed is constant,
No. It says that a moving observer and a stationary observer both
_measure_ light as moving at c, _in_their_own_frame_of_reference. That
does NOT imply that they both see the lighting flashes as simultaneous.
Yes it does. At the time the strikes occur simultaneously both the
terain observer and the track observer are at equal distance from the
strikes. The strikes must arrive to both observers simultaneously to
maintian the isotropy of the speed of light in both frames. The train
observer sees the strikes to be simultaneous at a later time because
the light path length in the train frame is longer.

As Bryan correctly points out, the light from the rear strike must pass
the stationary observer before it can reach the moving observer. As Bryan
correctly points out, the light from the front strike must pass the moving
observer before it can reach the stationary observer. This forces a 'non
simultaneous' judgement on the moving observer while the track side
observer sees the strikes as simultaneous.
If the strikes are 'simultaneous' in the track frame, taking place as the
observers pass, then the moving observer must see the strike on the engine
before he sees the strike on the rear of the train.
This conclusion is based on the erroneous model for the propagation of
light from the track observer's point of view. The train observer must
reach his own conclusion whether the strikes are simultaneous.

If the strikes are 'simultaneous' in the track frame, taking place as the
observers pass, then the moving observer must see the strike on the engine
before he sees the strike on the rear of the train.

There IS one way that both observers could see the flashes at the same
time. If the train carried it's own lightning machine that, in the trains
frame, fired a flash at the front and rear of the train at the right time
for the flashes to appear "simultaneously" just as the train passed the
track side observer, both observers would see the flashes as simultaneous.

To do this, at some point _before_ the observers pass, a signal must be
triggered that will fire the flashes at right time so that the flashes
arrive at 'the observers coincide' point at the exact instant that the
observers are next to each other.

In other words, the trigger to the flashes must give the signal time to
travel from one end of the train to the other end. In other words a signal
must travel from center of train, half the length of the train, to each
end, and then the flash must travel half the length of the train. In this
case, the observers will see the flashes as simultaneous because the
observers are in the same place when the flashes arrive. They won't agree,
however, on _when_ the flashes were triggered.

Did you ever understand that the earth's axial tilt makes the seasons?

No its not the LET interpretation. The LET interpretation place the
observer's clock in the rest frame of the ether. My interpretation
says that the observer's clock is in a state of absolute motion in the
ether. That's why every IRT observer does not claim that his clock is
the fastest running clock in the universe. He claims that some clocks
moving wrt him are running slow and some are running fast.
Ken Seto

Ken, does IRT get rid of lack of simultaneity (Einstein's train
experiement)?
1. The speed of light is isotropic in the track frame and the train
frame.
2. In the track frame the lightning strikes occur simultaneously at
time 0.5L/c where L is the length of the train.
3. From the track observer's point of view the strikes also occur
The light path length in the train = 0.5L*gamma
Therefore the strike will arrive at the train observer simultaneously
at time 0.5L*gamma/c.
Light from the strike at the rear has to pass the track-fixed
observer before reaching the train-rinding observer.
Sure that's why the light fronts takes a longer time of 0.5L*gamma/c
seconds to reach the train observer simultaneously.

Einstein said that the train observer is rushing toward the light

No, I'm clever enough to understand that a lightning strike is an

What you should say is that the light, carrying the information of the

Ken, does IRT get rid of lack of simultaneity (Einstein's train
experiement)?
Yes....in IRT simultaneity is absolute as follows:
1. The speed of light is isotropic in the track frame and the train
frame.
2. In the track frame the lightning strikes occur simultaneously at
time 0.5L/c where L is the length of the train.
3. From the track observer's point of view the strikes also occur
simultaneously in the train as follows:
The light path length in the train = 0.5L*gamma
Therefore the strike will arrive at the train observer simultaneously
at time 0.5L*gamma/c.

Ken, I am going to review/study all the links you gave us,
meanwhile Q's....

You still use the gamma for the length calculation, can you
explain in a simply way why?

For comparison in one example I worked with in SR
(I think it was from here:
http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/lectures/michelson.html)
the gap closure of a set length had an 8 speed rate
in the reverse to direction of travel compared to a
2 speed rate in the direction of travel to close the
gap, while the transverse had a 4 speed rate. (These
numbers then predicted the gamma length contraction).
So can you explain why in your IRT, the time (or is
it length?) each way in the frame where you use
gamma is the same both ways?


Thanks!

No its not the LET interpretation. The LET interpretation place the
observer's clock in the rest frame of the ether. My interpretation
says that the observer's clock is in a state of absolute motion in the
ether. That's why every IRT observer does not claim that his clock is
the fastest running clock in the universe. He claims that some clocks
moving wrt him are running slow and some are running fast.

In IRT the following Doppler factors are used in place of gamma or 1/
gamma:
Fab/Faa = 1/gamma
Faa/Fab = gamma
Where Faa= the measured frequency of a standard light source in
observer A's frame as measured by A.
Fab = the measured frequency of an identical standard light source in
B's frame as measured by A. If Fab is not constant the mean value is
used.

In IRT the M&M experiment is explained as follows:
The speed of light in the same gravitational potential (in the
horizontal plane on earth) is isotropic. Therefore no fringe shift is
predicted or observed.

TIME (duration) is what the clock measures.
This SR definition implies that a clock second represents the same
amount of TIME (duration) in different frames. This means that a clock
second is an interval of universal TIME.
What the SR definition of time actually implies is that a clock second
represents the same amount of time on every standard clock, i.e., that
a clock second is a universal interval of time.
By "standard clock" do you mean the observer's clock?
The standard equations of SR (e.g., the Lorentz Transformation)

and at the same time the flow of clock seconds
through every observer's clock is at different rates.
So what? Standard clocks need only meet the standard.
Post by kenseto

It means that, in SR, every clock second (i.e. the measurement of a
second on a clock) represents an amount of time equal to a second.

Contrast that with LET, where a clock second only represents a second
of time when measured by clocks at rest in the stationary ether (i.e.,
in LET, a clock second is NOT a universal interval of time).
Post by kenseto
Do you mean that the passage of a clock second in A's frame
corresponds to the passage of a clock second in B's frame??

second on A's clock, is it necessarily one clock second on B's clock?

If so, the answer is no (in SR).

Sure doesn't look like the last question "in other words". The last
question seemed to be asking whether (standard) clock seconds always
represent the same amount of time, snd the answer is simply a matter
of definition. This question, OTOH, seems to be asking whether
(standard) clock seconds always coincide with N periods of the
radiation resulting from a particular atomic transition, and the
answer would need to be ascertained empirically.

1. Absolute time exists. The rate of passage of absolute time in
insensitive to any motion. In other words, the rate of passage of
absolute time is the same in all frames.
2. A clock second will represents a specfic interval of absolute time
at the frame of the clock.
3. A clock second in different frames will represent different
interval of absolute time.
4. Clocks in relative motion run at different rates intrinsically.
That's not the "correct" interpretation - it's merely a /different/
interpretation. In fact, it's the LET interpretation.
No its not the LET interpretation.
Yes, Seto, it is.
Post by kenseto

Nonsense. Two clocks in relative motion obviously can't both be at
rest in LET's stationary ether.

*Every* clock that meets the standard is a standard clock.
Every clock can not be "standard" at the same time,
Only one clock can be a standard.
Just because it is built the same, does not mean it
will also be a standard clock once it moves compared the
the ONE standard clock at all.
If they were truly all keeping "standard" time, they would all
have them same time on them even when brought back together.
The clocks therefore are not all keeping "standard" time.
Post by jem

Not true,
That is not a standard.
That is a factory spec, not a "standard of measurement".

And that is where SR goes off in time travel land.
The clocks are not all equal seconds.
Just because it ticks the same amount of times, does not mean
it made those ticks for the same amount of a second.
And proof they goofed up doing such is when they are brought back
together and have different times on them.
Post by jem

of time when measured by clocks at rest in the stationary ether (i.e.,

That is close to the scientific definition of "time".
Of course, no aether is needed and the one clock must be
kept in one place that all conditions surrounding it do not change.
One single standard clock, not many that are all different.
That would be a standard clock.
and no other clock could be that standard if moving wrt that standard.

An infinity of calculation puts back the field expressions
required to adaquately describe light propagation.

http://nobelprize.org/physics/articles/ekspong/index.html

It fairly well puts to rest that sort of abuse of the
particle light model.

That is not to say there is anything wrong with moving
media interferometers or the Lorenz gauge where the
sum of all paths CAN agree with a line.

"Time dilation" and "ether" have many interpretation so
you have to be more specific in saying what is eliminated.

Feynman touches on this in his Noble Lecture
but it is a bit rambling. For somthing with
rigour, compare Jackson's description of the
Coulomb and Lorenz gauge.

to complete in different frames?
Post by jem
 This question, OTOH, seems to be asking whether
(standard) clock seconds always coincide with N periods of the
radiation resulting from a particular atomic transition, and the
answer would need to be ascertained empirically.
Its already been done. The GPS clock second is re-defined to have
4.15 periods of the radiation. That means that 9,192,631,774.15
periods of the radiation up at the GPS location will have the duration
of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation on the ground clock.

Nonsense.  Two clocks in relative motion obviously can't both be at

TIME (duration) is what the clock measures.
This SR definition implies that a clock second represents the same
amount of TIME (duration) in different frames. This means that a clock
second is an interval of universal TIME.
What the SR definition of time actually implies is that a clock second
represents the same amount of time on every standard clock, i.e., that
a clock second is a universal interval of time.
By "standard clock" do you mean the observer's clock?
The standard equations of SR (e.g., the Lorentz Transformation)
presume that all observers use standard clocks.
Then there is no such thing as a standard clock. Why? Because
different observers' clock seconds have different duration....this is
because a transition of the Cs atom in different frame will take
different duration to complete.
Post by jem
Post by kenseto
In that case how
is it become a standard since every observer can claim that his clock
is the standard clock
*Every* clock that meets the standard is a standard clock.
What defines the standard....
The same thing as the last time I defined it for you, Seto. Look it
up. Or hire a nursemaid to look it up for you.

same duration in different frames.

and at the same time the flow of clock seconds
through every observer's clock is at different rates.

Do you mean the definition of a clock second? Do you

(such as the passage of a clock second) do not have the same duration
in different frames.
Post by jem
Post by kenseto
Also what do you mean a clock second is a universal interval of time?
It means that, in SR, every clock second (i.e. the measurement of a
second on a clock) represents an amount of time equal to a second.
You are talking in circle.
A second as measured on a clock isn't necessarily a second of time,
and I provided a LET example to show you that the two can be
different. However, in SR, clock seconds and seconds of time are
*defined* to be the same, which means that, in SR, it's appropriate to
characterize a clock second (i.e. a specific number of ticks of a
standard clock) as a *universal* interval of time (since it represents
the same amount of time on *every* standard clock). You're not going
to get it this time either, Seto, but this is the last time I'm going
to explain it to you in this thread.
Post by kenseto
What you are saying is that a second is
equal to a second in all frames. This contradicts with the SR
assertion that the passage of a second in observer A's frame is equal
to the passage of less then a clock second in the observed B frame.
Post by jem
Contrast that with LET, where a clock second only represents a second
of time when measured by clocks at rest in the stationary ether (i.e.,
in LET, a clock second is NOT a universal interval of time).
In SR A clock seconbd is not an interval of universal time too.
If a clock second is a universal interval of time then the passage of
a clock second in A's frame should correspond to the passage of a
clock second in B's frame. It is not.

Do you mean that the passage of a clock second in A's frame

Did you mean to ask - if the interval between two events is one clock
second on A's clock, is it necessarily one clock second on B's clock?
If so, the answer is no (in SR).
Then you can't claim that a clock second is a universal interval of
time.

This, in turn, leads to the

accumulated by each clock is not due to that the clocks are running at

It is the definition of a clock second. But lets play it your way. A
second of time is represented by the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods
of the radiation....if a second of time is an interval of universal
time that means that each period of the radiation will require the
same duration to complete. This is shown to be false emperically. Why?

any radiation is sensitive to relative motion.

his clock is the fastest running clock in the universe and his ruler
is the longest ruler in the universe.

TIME (duration) is what the clock measures.
This SR definition implies that a clock second represents the same
amount of TIME (duration) in different frames. This means that a clock
second is an interval of universal TIME.
What the SR definition of time actually implies is that a clock second
represents the same amount of time on every standard clock, i.e., that
a clock second is a universal interval of time.
By "standard clock" do you mean the observer's clock?
The standard equations of SR (e.g., the Lorentz Transformation)
presume that all observers use standard clocks.
Then there is no such thing as a standard clock. Why? Because
different observers' clock seconds have different duration....this is
because a transition of the Cs atom in different frame will take
different duration to complete.

In that case how
is it become a standard since every observer can claim that his clock
is the standard clock
*Every* clock that meets the standard is a standard clock.
What defines the standard....
The same thing as the last time I defined it for you, Seto. Look it
up. Or hire a nursemaid to look it up for you.
So you don't have a valid definition for a standard clock? Then why
did you keep on throwing this *standard clock* shit on me?
Like I said, hire somebody to compensate for your senility.

since a clock second does not have the

and at the same time the flow of clock seconds
through every observer's clock is at different rates.
So what? Standard clocks need only meet the standard.
What standard?
Ask the nursemaid.
Post by kenseto
Do you mean the definition of a clock second? Do you
realize that a definition is not a standard? The reason is that a
difinition is depended on physical processes and physical processes
(such as the passage of a clock second) do not have the same duration
in different frames.

Also what do you mean a clock second is a universal interval of time?
It means that, in SR, every clock second (i.e. the measurement of a
second on a clock) represents an amount of time equal to a second.
You are talking in circle.
A second as measured on a clock isn't necessarily a second of time,
and I provided a LET example to show you that the two can be
different.
So according to you, in LET, a second of time is not the same as a
clock second? What LET example shows that?
Just LOOK, Seto. How helpless are you?

Post by jem
However, in SR, clock seconds and seconds of time are
*defined* to be the same, which means that, in SR, it's appropriate to
characterize a clock second (i.e. a specific number of ticks of a
standard clock) as a *universal* interval of time (since it represents
the same amount of time on *every* standard clock). You're not going
to get it this time either, Seto, but this is the last time I'm going
to explain it to you in this thread.
That's the problem....you adopt the SR definition that time is what
the clock measures. This means that every clock is a perfect clock and
the passage of a clock second on every clock represents the same
amount of time (duration).
Right, but they aren't /perfect/ clocks - they're /standard/ clocks.
Post by kenseto
This contradicts the other SR assertion
that the passage of a clock second in observer A's frame corresponds
to the passage of less than a clock second in the observed B clock.
No it doesn't contradict it. In SR, Seto, time isn't absolute - each
clock keeps its own time. The fact that one tick on clock A takes one
second on clock A, and one tick on clock B takes one second on clock
B, doesn't mean that one tick on clock A takes one second on clock B.

Post by kenseto
What you are saying is that a second is
equal to a second in all frames. This contradicts with the SR
assertion that the passage of a second in observer A's frame is equal
to the passage of less then a clock second in the observed B frame.
Post by jem
Contrast that with LET, where a clock second only represents a second
of time when measured by clocks at rest in the stationary ether (i.e.,
in LET, a clock second is NOT a universal interval of time).
In SR A clock seconbd is not an interval of universal time too.
If a clock second is a universal interval of time then the passage of
a clock second in A's frame should correspond to the passage of a
clock second in B's frame. It is not.
Post by jem
Post by kenseto
Do you mean that the passage of a clock second in A's frame
corresponds to the passage of a clock second in B's frame??
Did you mean to ask - if the interval between two events is one clock
second on A's clock, is it necessarily one clock second on B's clock?
If so, the answer is no (in SR).
Then you can't claim that a clock second is a universal interval of
time.

This, in turn, leads to the
assertion that time is flexible. This means that when two clocks are
in relative motion the different clock seconds accumlulated by each
clock is due to that the flow of TIME through the clocks is different
in different frames. In other words, the different clock seconds
accumulated by each clock is not due to that the clocks are running at
different rates when they are in different frames.
Well, that is a correct interpretation of SR, although it's a stretch
to characterize it as "time is flexible".
If a clock second is an interval of universal time
It's anybody's guess what you mean by "universal time".
1. A clock second is a universal interval of time.
2. A clock second is an interval of universal time.
Re. 1. - it's been explained to you at least a half-dozen times.
Re. 2. - it's anybody's guess what you mean by "universal time".
So you have no explanation for these two terms??
Re. 1. - it's been explained to you at least a half-dozen times.

then time must be
flexible (the passage of clock seconds) in order for two clocks in
relative motion to accumulate different clock seconds.
Post by jem
Post by kenseto
On the other hand SR also asserts that the passage of a clock second
in observer A's clock corresponds to the passage of less than a clock
second in the observed B clock.
And that's correct too (assuming A is doing the measuring and B is in
motion relative to A).
Post by kenseto
This means that a clock second is not
an interval of universal TIME.
It appears that SR is making contradictory claims.
It's anybody's guess what you mean by "universal TIME", but your "time
is flexible" and "passage of time is less" observations above,
certainly don't contradict the SR implication that a clock second is a
universal interval of time - in fact they require it.
You definition that a clock second is a universal interval of time
needs to be defined more clearly.
It's not a definition - it's a characterization.
What do you mean when you said that a clock second is a universal
interval of time? Do you mean that a clock second can be compared
directly between frames?
It doesn't do any good to tell you what it means, Seto, since you
can't understand what you're told, nor even remember /that/ you've
been told, one paragraph later.
In order for a clock second to represent a universal interval of time
it is necessary that the passage of a clock second in observer A's
frame corresponds to the passage of a clcok second in the observed
clock B's frame.
No it's not necessary. The expression "universal interval of time"
doesn't have a unique definition - the adjective "universal" has
simply been used to characterize an interval of time. It's been
explained to you repeatedly the sense in which SR's clock seconds can
be considered to be universal, and it has nothing whatsoever to do
with any relationships between stationary and non-stationary clocks.
Post by kenseto
But SR says: the passage of a clock second in
observer A's clock does not correspond to the passage of a clock
second in B's clock. It seems that you are making contradictory
statements.
It seems that you are mistaken.

Do you mean that a clock second will
have the same duration in all frames?
Did you mean to ask - does a clock second represent the same amount of
time on all standard clocks regardless of the motion of those clocks?
If so, the answer is yes (in SR).
Here you seem to be saying that a clock second is an interval of
universal time. Are you trying to have you cake and eat it too?
It's anybody's guess what you mean by "universal time".
Universal time: The passage of a clock second in A's frame correspond
to the passage of a clock second in B's frame. In the twin paradox
scenario the traveling twin's clock second is compared to the stay at
home clock second directly to reach the conclusion that the traveling
twin is younger because he accumulated less clock seconds.
Nothing in that paragraph indicates what "universal time" is, not
coherently anyway.

How does "universal time" differ from "time"? How does "universal
time" differ from "absolute time"?

In other words the time
(duration) required to complete a transition by the Cs atom is the
same in all frames?
Sure doesn't look like the last question "in other words". The last
question seemed to be asking whether (standard) clock seconds always
represent the same amount of time, snd the answer is simply a matter
of definition.
What definition?
"Time is what a clock measures". That definition.
That definition implies that a clock second in different frames
contains the same amount of time (duration).
That definition implies that all clock seconds on standard clocks
contain the same amount of time.
Post by kenseto
This is shown to be false
emperically by the GPS clock. The GPS clock second is re-defined to
have 4.15 more periods of the radiation than the ground clock. This re-
definition is necessary so that both clock second contains the same
amount of universal time.
Nonsense. As I told you before, Seto, the GPS satellite clocks are
non-standard clocks. I have a computer clock that loses about 5
secs/day relative to the NIST clocks - do you think my computer clock
empirically falsifies the definition too? How about a pendulum clock
on roller coaster?

A clock seocnd is defined as "....the duration (time)
Post by kenseto
corresponds to the 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation
corresponding to the transition of the transition between the two
hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom".
No, Seto, that's not the definition of a "clock second". It's the
definition of a unit of time called a "second" (assuming you copied
the definition correctly). A "clock second" is the interval between
two specific events on a clock (e.g. tick and tock).
It is the definition of a clock second. But lets play it your way. A
second of time is represented by the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods
of the radiation....if a second of time is an interval of universal
time
It's still anybody's guess what you mean by "universal time".
Post by kenseto
that means that each period of the radiation will require the
same duration to complete. This is shown to be false emperically. Why?
because Doppler shift shows that the completion time for a period of
any radiation is sensitive to relative motion.
Post by jem
Post by kenseto
My
question is: Does each period of the radiation takes the same duration
to complete in different frames?
I rephrased your question so that it would have a unique answer and I
provided an answer.
Why do you have to rephrased the question?
I told you why. Hint: look in the part of the sentence that comes
after the part where I told you that I rephrased it.

This question, OTOH, seems to be asking whether
(standard) clock seconds always coincide with N periods of the
radiation resulting from a particular atomic transition, and the
answer would need to be ascertained empirically.
Its already been done. The GPS clock second is re-defined to have
4.15 periods of the radiation. That means that 9,192,631,774.15
periods of the radiation up at the GPS location will have the duration
of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation on the ground clock.
No, Seto, an empirical test would require reproducing the standard in
different environments and comparing the results. In no way does GPS
do that.
Are you saying that they didn't re-define the GPS clock second?
I should qualify what I said about GPS not being an empirical test of
environmental effects on the production of a standard second (i.e. a
duration of N periods of radiation from a Cs atom).

If the clocks used in the GPS satellites have the same construction as
the clocks that reproduce the standard second on Earth (and they may),
then GPS /would/ provide a test of one particular environmental effect
(i.e. a small change in gravity).

1. Absolute time exists. The rate of passage of absolute time in
insensitive to any motion. In other words, the rate of passage of
absolute time is the same in all frames.
2. A clock second will represents a specfic interval of absolute time
at the frame of the clock.
3. A clock second in different frames will represent different
interval of absolute time.
4. Clocks in relative motion run at different rates intrinsically.
That's not the "correct" interpretation - it's merely a /different/
interpretation. In fact, it's the LET interpretation.
No its not the LET interpretation.
Yes, Seto, it is.
No it is not. A LET observ's clock is the fastest runining clock in
the universe.
You misunderstand LET, Seto, just as well as you misunderstand SR,
No I didn't misunderstand LET or SR. Both theories' math show that the
observer's clock is the fastest running clock in the universe and the
observer's identical ruler is the longest ruler in the universe.

The LET interpretation place the
observer's clock in the rest frame of the ether.
Nonsense. Two clocks in relative motion obviously can't both be at
rest in LET's stationary ether.
Sigh....the LET observer's clock is assumed to be at rest in the
ether. That's why it is the fastest running clock in the universe.
Do you seriously believe that *both* of those relatively moving LET
observers have the "fastest running clock in the universe"?
No...what LET and SR say is that every SR and LET observer claims that
his clock is the fastest running clock in the universe and his ruler
is the longest ruler in the universe.
Contrast that with what LET and SR really say.

In LET, standard clocks at rest in the stationary ether, run faster
(i.e. register more time per tick) than any standard clock that's
moving uniformly relative to the ether.

In SR, all standard clocks (Inertial or not) run at the same rate
(i.e. register the same amount of time per tick).

Here's the thing. Most of us have trouble with this subject because
it's so easy to become confused about how everything fits together.
You, OTOH, aren't the least bit confused. You've got the facts, and
the logical relationships between those facts, down cold. The problem
is that all but a handful of your facts are wrong, and your logic is
illogic. IMO, Seto, unless and until you can manage to become
confused about this subject, you have no hope of learning it.

These new interpretations of TIME gives a viable explanation why the
speed of light is measured to be a constant math ratio in all frames
Light path length of ruler (299,792,458 m long physically)/the
absolute time content for a clock second co-moving with the ruler.
This new definition for the speed of light gives rise to a new theory
of relativity called: Improved Relativity Theory (IRT). IRT includes
SRT as a subset. However, unlkie SRT the equations of IRT are valid in
all environments, including gravity. A Paper on IRT entitled "Improved
Relativity Theory and Doppler Theory of Gravity" is available in my

it is not in many different frames
but you didnt get the main point that
'time' is nothing but
motion comparison to some chosen
motion reference
and 2
acceleration cannot be linear all along the scale
iow
it is a physical fact that it becomes
more and more difficult to add velocity
to a mass !!!-
(including your tested moving mass
as relative to the motion reference!!...**.that remains outside your
frame !!***)

ie more and more energy is needed
to add velocity to a mass !!
and that is the secrete why SR **is right**!!!!!
