For both the crackpots AND the wannabe certified """scientists"""
(triple quoted!!!)...

How do you know that two events happen at the same moment ?

You use a infinite speed (or zero travel time) signal or communication.

If at any point c in space, at any speed, you receive this signal from
event in point a and event in point b , simultaneously, at the same
moment that is, THEN you can conclude that both events happened
simultaneously.

Yes, in Jules Verne's time, going to the moon was science fiction.

The "math" defintion of simul, wrt a parameter say, t, is if two
distinct coordinates (points) have the same "t".

E.g. the (cartesian) points (1,1) and (1,5) are simul wrt their first
entry. In polar, these coords are
(s(2), 45) and ( s(26), 78.69 ); they are not simul in this coordinate
system.

Now, how one sets up (physically) their coordinates is up to them. If,
in their coordinate system, two points have the same "t" then hey are
simul. Physicist have chosen to use e-sync and meter to coordinate
their space.

You can chose another way to coordinate your space.

That takes you into the realm of science fiction. No such signal is known in the
world we inhabit. So your claim is useless, in SCIENCE.

No, you take known distances

No you don't, there are no "infinite speed" signals. You are being silly
or drunk or a crackpot.
I know that the event of Ganymede being in a straight line with Jupiter
and the Sun (i.e. eclipsed) and the event of the minute hand of my
watch pointing to 43 minutes past the hour are simultaneous events
and I can predict that I will observe the eclipse some minutes later.
I know this because both Ganymede and my watch are regular
oscillators and their behaviour is predictable.

So, due to the moons of Jupiter you cannot understand the mathematical
notion of infinite speed ?

What part of your non-brain refuses to accept that I was talking of the

But you refuse to apply it ?
Let say I am using it as a tool to make you understand physics, is that
a finite probability ? I exactly doubt that.

And did you not just say : "and the objects and
quantities it describes have no counterpart in the world we inhabit."
Did you not just contradict yourself ?

No, it would be physics, saying nothing about our world,
not speaking by language of math.

Nature is using quite complicated math even without mathematicians.
They are just trying to project these REAL relations
to abstract world of math symbols to make people understand the nature.

Mathematics is like a language.
Science is about nature and how things function we find there. But a
language could describe things, we cannot find. It might be useful to
think about abstract problems in logical manners, but that doesn't make
this 'science'.

Engineering on the other hand is not science neither, but closer
related. Things we invent are items, that engineers produce. The
principles of their function are subjects of science, but not the
production of the item itself.

A definition is not a mathematical question. But to define remote events
as simultaneous as if an indefinitely fast signal would show them as
such, that is a definition.
This definition is not of much practical use, since no signal with such
characteristics is know. But that doesn't make it an invalid definition.

Actually I like this definition much more than the typical SRT
definition. This would mean, we have a simultaneous set of events, that
are not visible, but nevertheless real. Only we would need a looooong
time, until we could finally see them. But this time for the signal with
finite velocity is just that; delay for signal to travel.

How do you know the signal took zero time to travel .. unless you know that

And mathematics is not science.

Science is the systematic process of constructing models of the world we
inhabit, testing them via experiments and observations, and refining and
improving them based on those results. Mathematics is not anything like that at
all -- as I said, it is a purely intellectual pursuit, in which the world is
irrelevant and experiments are simply not possible.

Not at all! I use it every day in my work as a physicist. But still, math is

No, it isn't. It is the standard approach to science today.

Science is the systematic process of constructing models of the world we

Or what we are sometimes able to accept.

As lord Kelvin said to Niels Bohr (not exactly the words, just idea):

"Congratulations. I think you ( =foundation of quantum mechanics)

Speaking of which, you did. Recall you said,

Actual experiments that reproduce the "twin scenario" confirm the
predictions of SR. No matter how much idiots deny it, the fact is
that the "twin paradox" occurs in the world we inhabit, and SR is an
accurate model within its domain.”
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/934b2a1e4839fbc4
Mathematically, the twins’ paradox is proven to be impossible in real
life by the very mathematics. So, do you really think putting that
phrase in quotes does rub off some mathemaGical properties of SR,
seriously? <shrug>

Your presentations of so-called proof of “twins’ paradox” are so
lame. They only disprove the principle of relativity and support the
existence of the absolute frame of reference. In doing so, the Aether
must exist without any reasons of doubt. <shrug>

Oh, yes. You have the right to remain silent as usual, and anything

However, you have to admit that if any hypothesis in physics cannot be
backed up by mathematics, it is indeed philosophy, and in doing so, it
just cannot be deemed valid. <shrug>

Yes, mathematics is merely a tool, but please do not downgrade its
vital importance in physics. Any hypothesis cannot be seriously
accepted without mathematics backing it up. <shrug>

1 + 1 = 2 is imaginary math too.
1 has no relation to reality, unless bonded to number of real objects.

On the other hand
real object relations of behaviour
are mathematical ones.

It is not like
mathematicians try to apply math to nature,
but they are trying to discover math of nature.

Many people dislike more complicated math than accounting.

Because they do not like it, do not understand it and
are not able to used it, they try to discredit the math.

They say it is abstract useless joy of foolish people,
not to reveal they are not clever enough for it.

The same is valid for Theory of Relativity.
Many of RT opponents say they understand RT perfectly.
But their basic misunderstanding and misinterpretation
is revealed frequently.

Note that I am not expert in RT, not even just SR.
They say they are.

Sure.
But science branch about languages are science too.

Math is the language of nature objects.
We are just discovering this language,
more or less successfully or precisely.

Science is not determined by topic, but by methodology.

Sure, math as language
can describe or invent things or relations, that do not exist.

English or czech language can invent
nouns or verbs not having relation to real objects or activities.

But it does not deny the fact it is language of people.
The same for math,
it is language of the nature, at least in physical context.

But it would put results based on this definition

How then you call the done prove of an mathematical claim ?
E.g. long time searched prove of the Big Fermat claim.
( not sure about "claim" term, if used in math )

It is math experiment, that can prove or disprove such a claim.

Science in narrow sense is limited to modelling of the world.
But world speaks by language of the math,
so modeling this language must be part of science.

It does not matter if part of math does not reflect the world.
Math is superset of the world physical language.

Science in wider sense is limited just by methodology.

I agree with this. But it is just one point of view.

We may misunderstood here mutually.

I mean math relations between objects
exist without people discovering math
and these math rules of objects behavior.
And even without people.

Celestial bodies ruled by gravitation
will act under rule at least very similar
to Newton gravitational law or RT,
( whatever anyone likes)
no matter if there exists any damned mathematician.

It is like elefants in Afrika existed
even before Europian people discovered this fact.

Math MODELLING of the world is de facto
our approximation of the math MODEL nature uses.

The concept of 'time' requires a certain idea of 'space', too. Than we
have light as means to observe remote events. These events are usually
too remote to be observed in real time. But that is in accordance with
the definition of time and space.

To define simultaneous as observed at the same time is in violation to
logic and certain principles. We know, that light takes time to travel,
so we had to subtract the travel time, to estimate, when the event had
happened.

So: we cannot see remote events in real time, because light has finite
velocity. But that is no big deal. Just subtract the travel time.

Than we have only layers (or spherical shells) in space, that represent
simultaneous events, seen from Earth.

Now you are contradicting yourself, in first sentence it is possible,
in the second it not. But you are right, I was not exact.
theory cannot be proven, just disproved. What can be proven
is math a/o logical consistency of the theory, that is not directly
related to fact if it is or is not the good model.

I am not mathematician, so I do not. But explain me principal
difference between
( aside of ph. theory cannot be proven right, only wrong )
claim of physical theory and experimental verification,
and
claim of math statement and math verification.

Ok, I may used poetic expression,
so object behavior rules are math based,
no matter if anyone tries to evaluate and express them.
Math in physics are just trying to express these already existing
relations.

You make just empty statements.
I am graduated in analytical chemistry 20 years ago,

It is not possible to "prove" anything about the real world, because proof is an
aspect of mathematics, not the world. Koobee makes the very confusion he accuses
me of.

Since the "twins paradox"is OBSERVED in the real world, Koobee's remarks are
just plain wrong.

Well then, I am using this tool to define simultaneity, mister the

investigation thus remaining in everlasting ignorance"

If you really use it everyday as a TOOL, why it does not shine through

Then you don't need any signal. You just define the events as simultaneous
or not. Of course, that has nothing to do with the real world and physics
.. just whatever little games you are playing in your mind.

Your so-called "definition of simultaneity" is "infinite speed of signal".
Signals are physical, not mathematical. The mathematical definition
of two simultaneous events is time(event1) = time(event2), signals
are not used. You are a liar, a crackpot AND a wannabe certified
"""scientist""" (triple quoted!!!)...
.
You just cannot read or understand a sentence.

What you propose is fundamentally unscientific, then.
A scientific theory is only useful if there is a way to test the theory
by a reasonably feasible experiment, by which you can tell if it's wrong.

A theory which can only be falsified by a test that is out of reach is a
little like proposing little fairies that do all the pushing of things
around to make it appear that momentum is conserved, but the fairies are
invisible and they are careful to cover their tracks.

Glad you ask.

Each resolution to the twins’ paradox comes in four stages. How long
each stage lasts depends on how tasty this resolution with its
hypnotic appetite is. The stages are:

**** Desperation

It must be very heart breaking for the Einstein Dingleberries to watch
their beloved SR getting shit canned. <shrug>

**** Hope

This is more like false hope because the Einstein Dingleberries just
cannot walk away from that pile of crap called SR. <shrug>

**** Zealot

Every day wishing for this false hope is going to trig the mind to
believe in a false resolution. It does not matter how fucked up or
stupid the resolution is. As soon as the Einstein Dingleberries sink
their teeth into this resolution, it is impossible to separate them
from SR. Waiting for rapture is very much the only mental activity
left. <shrug>

**** Awakening

After a while, the scientist in their id will be finally knocking on
their consciousness. They will start to realize just how fvcking
stupid they were with such zeal in their faith. <shrug>

**** Desperation

And the cycle begins. So, for the recap, we have gone through at
least three such cycles so far. <shrug>

**** Acceleration

This crap was first proposed by Born by equating any acceleration with
gravitational acceleration, and thus it inherits the nature of
gravitational time dilation. To this day, there is not a piece of
mathematical analysis that supports this resolution, and no single
experiment has shown acceleration manifests time dilation. <shrug>

**** Diagram

Some idiots thought the twins’ paradox can be resolved by drawing a
few lines in their so-called spacetime diagram. This resolution seems
to have the least amount of survival time. There are almost no idiots
following this cult anymore. <shrug>

**** MathemaGics

Given the time transform of the Lorentz transform, the twins’ paradox
actually involves two different set of the Lorentz transforms. The
first set describes observers 1 and 2 observing 3.

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s23] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s13] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Where

** dt1 = time flow rate of 1
** [v12] = velocity of 2 as observed by 1
** [s13] = displacement vector of 3 as observed by 1
** All others self-explanatory

The other set of the Lorentz transform is where 1 and 2 are observing
4:

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s24] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s14] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Since there only two observers and each observer behaving as the
observed, these two sets of the Lorentz transform above must be
reduced with 3 and 4 merged appropriately into 1 and 2. So, taking
one equation from each transform, we have

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s23] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s14] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Then, it is easy to merge 3 into 2 and 4 into 1 from the two equations
above.

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s22] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s11] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Or

** dt1 = dt2 / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = dt1 / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Where

** d[s11] = d[s22] = 0

Since the two equations above cannot possibly co-exist, the twins’
paradox becomes very real. However, the self-styled physicists
possess no analytical skills. In this matheMagic show, they have
demonstrated a lack of understanding in the Lorentz transform (as well
as the Galilean transform). To reduce the Lorentz transform from two
observers (1 and 2) and one observed (3 or 4) into just two observers
(1 and 2) where each observer is observing the other, they decide to
favor either 1 or 2 by using the same transform. Following through
the mathemaGics, the Lorentz transform becomes:

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s22] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s12] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Or

** dt1 = dt2 / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = dt1 sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Where

** [v12] = - [v21]

And thus avoiding the paradox through mathemaGics.

**** Pathlength

The latest crap to the resolution of the twins’ paradox calls out for
the mythical substance called proper time. Although the scripture of
SR dealing with this proper time went back since the time of Einstein
the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar, the myth of aging in proper
time nevertheless is a modern hope of resolving the twins’ paradox.
Some self-styled physicists are beginning to realize how fucking
stupid they have been by accepting this nonsense. <shrug>



* * * * *

Each resolution to the twins’ paradox comes in four stages. How long
each stage lasts depends on how tasty this resolution with its

gravitational acceleration, and thus it inherits the nature of
gravitational time dilation. To this day, there is not a piece of
mathematical analysis that supports this resolution, and no single
experiment has shown acceleration manifests time dilation. <shrug>

**** Diagram

Some idiots thought the twins’ paradox can be resolved by drawing a
few lines in their so-called spacetime diagram. This resolution seems
to have the least amount of survival time. There are almost no idiots
following this cult anymore. <shrug>

**** MathemaGics

Given the time transform of the Lorentz transform, the twins’ paradox
actually involves two different set of the Lorentz transforms. The
first set describes observers 1 and 2 observing 3.

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s23] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s13] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Where

** dt1 = time flow rate of 1
** [v12] = velocity of 2 as observed by 1
** [s13] = displacement vector of 3 as observed by 1
** All others self-explanatory

The other set of the Lorentz transform is where 1 and 2 are observing
4:

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s24] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s14] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Since there only two observers and each observer behaving as the
observed, these two sets of the Lorentz transform above must be
reduced with 3 and 4 merged appropriately into 1 and 2. So, taking
one equation from each transform, we have

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s23] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s14] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Then, it is easy to merge 3 into 2 and 4 into 1 from the two equations
above.

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s22] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s11] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Or

** dt1 = dt2 / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = dt1 / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Where

** d[s11] = d[s22] = 0

Since the two equations above cannot possibly co-exist, the twins’
paradox becomes very real. However, the self-styled physicists
possess no analytical skills. In this matheMagic show, they have
demonstrated a lack of understanding in the Lorentz transform (as well
as the Galilean transform). To reduce the Lorentz transform from two
observers (1 and 2) and one observed (3 or 4) into just two observers
(1 and 2) where each observer is observing the other, they decide to
favor either 1 or 2 by using the same transform. Following through
the mathemaGics, the Lorentz transform becomes:

** dt1 = (dt2 + [v12] * d[s22] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = (dt1 + [v21] * d[s12] / c^2) / sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Or

** dt1 = dt2 / sqrt(1 – v12^2 / c^2)

And

** dt2 = dt1 sqrt(1 – v21^2 / c^2)

Where

** [v12] = - [v21]

And thus avoiding the paradox through mathemaGics.

**** Pathlength

The latest crap to the resolution of the twins’ paradox calls out for
the mythical substance called proper time. Although the scripture of
SR dealing with this proper time went back since the time of Einstein
the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar, the myth of aging in proper
time nevertheless is a modern hope of resolving the twins’ paradox.
Some self-styled physicists are beginning to realize how fucking
stupid they have been by accepting this nonsense. <shrug>

**** Conclusion

So, realizing all resolutions so far are just hopeless, the self-
styled physicists either ignore the twins’ paradox or go back to one
of these resolutions. Jumping from resolution to another seems not to
be getting old for these idiots. Fvcking sad, no? <shrug>

The whole episode of SR and GR can be summarized as follows.

** FAITH IS LOGIC
** LYING IS TEACHING
** NITWIT IS GENIUS
** OCCULT IS SCIENCE
** FICTION IS THEORY
** PARADOX IS KOSHER
** FUDGING IS DERIVATION
** BULLSHIT IS TRUTH
** MYSTICISM IS WISDOM
** BELIEVING IS LEARNING
** IGNORANCE IS KNOWLEDGE
** PRIESTHOOD IS TENURE
** CONJECTURE IS REALITY
** HANDWAVING IS REASONING
** PLAGIARISM IS CREATIVITY
** FRAUDULENCE IS FACT
** MATHEMAGICS IS MATHEMATICS
** INCONSISTENCY IS CONSISTENCY
** INTERPRETATION IS VERIFICATION

Why is it a false statement? The twins’ paradox presents this paradox
where each twin observes the other to be younger at the same time and
same place. For the zombies who are so indulged in Einstein
Dingleberryism, that means same spacetime. The said observed result
just can never happen in real life. So, claiming to have observed the
twins’ paradox is just plain lying. <shrug>

Amazing garbage. A paradox is a contradiction and cannot possibly

Summarized briefly as:
1. Let me put together some equations which have some faint resemblance
to Lorentz transformations but in fact are not Lorentz transformations.
2. Let me assure you that what you thought were the Lorentz
transformations are in fact not, and that if you dispute my labeling of
my equations as Lorentz transformations, then you are dismissed as not
understanding the Lorentz transformations at all.
3. Then let me demonstrate that my equations, now dubbed Lorentz
transformation equations, lead to something I shall interpret as a
contradiction.
4. Therefore there is a contradiction in what I call the Lorentz
transformation equations.
5. Therefore, any puzzle which claims to involve the Lorentz
transformation equations is inherently demonstrated to have an internal
contradiction.
6. If you don't understand this approach, then you are stupid, along

Ah, Koobee Wublee, the great scientist.
- One can determine through proof what is possible and not possible.
- Any observation in nature of something that has been thus proven to be
not possible is therefore deniable.
- Any claim of an observation of something that has been proven to be
possible must be reinterpreted to have actually not been observed at
all, so as to conform to what has been proven to be not possible.
- Those who believe in natural observations that have been proven to be
not possible are zealots and disinformation mongerers.
- Yes, you are. Shut up.

Re-define ? Time is what you read on clock, is what Einstein said.

Without definition of what a clock is, there was no definition of time.

I claim that a clock is an inertiameter, so (proper-)time is just the
strength of the inertial field.

Your language is ambiguous. I assume you are asking "What do you call the proof
of a mathematical theorem?" -- the answer is, of course, a proof. In math, a
proof is a systematic demonstration of a logical deduction from axioms to the
theorem being proved. There is no analogous procedure in science.


> It is math experiment, that can prove or disprove such a claim.

No. That is not an "experiment".

In science an experiment probes some aspect of the world we inhabit. In math,
there is no corresponding concept, because EVERYTHING in mathematics is
imaginary (i.e. a concept that "exists" purely in human minds). An experiment is
a test; in mathematics, either the relationship stated in a theorem holds or
does not hold; there is no middle ground (but it may not be obvious to humans
which is the case).

As Goedel showed, not all statements are decidable.


> Science in narrow sense is limited to modelling of the world.
> But world speaks by language of the math,

No. HUMANS speak the language of math, and apply it to the world. It is
REMARKABLE that this works so well, but nature is not at all constrained by the
math humans apply to her behavior.

Nope.

Nope. That is NOT what SR says/implies.

SR implies that the inertial clock *you pose* as "staying home" will
indicate a greater value than the other one that rejoins it..
Depending on the narrated scenario, authors interpret/call this as
"aging". SR simply says t>t' (and by how much). The rest is our
personal wordings that are not part of relativity.

Liar. It has been done and observed.
It is done and observed on a regular basis.

True. But you are confusing the two different meanings of "paradox".
(1) A paradox is an *apparent* contradiction.
(2) a paradox is a contradiction.

In the Twin "paradox", the word paradox has the first (1) meaning, not
the second one. You need to learn the meaning of the words used in our
community if you want to understand us.

Actually, it was Poincare who said that and who defined 'time' in
Europe and the world...all in ~1885 !

True. That is why Poincare *also* defined what is to b a "clock". Till
this day we still use his definitions.
A clock is a device that "counts", a device *accepted* by the
*standards bureau*. It is *they* who accepts (by some conventions)
what is to be declared "clock". From that, 'time' is the *value* on a
(e-synched) clock located at the event. We have *timeS* really; not
'time'.

This is what I told you in the first reply you got in this thread. You
seemed to have agreed since you have not commented it or was unable to

Ok, Ok, I confess I am not expert in this area, and my english
is weaker in area of math and physics not related to chemistry.

All I wanted to point out was that also in math
can be statement where it is unclear to be true and can be verified.

Maybe this analogy is not good.

You still do not understand me.

Did electrostatic reciprocal quadratic relation
between force, charges and distance

exist before humans discovered this law,
or only since that time ?

Nature has its own math, of course not explictly expressed,
and not by way of humans. The math by which all objects
and phenomena are bonded to behave accordingly.

Applying physical model on reality of nature is like
applying aproximative polynom function
to unknown function y=f(x),
where you know just the values.

Testing of model/theory predictions is like
comparing one function with another,
comparing values of approximation with values of nature.

Congratulations Hayek, on bringing some sanity into this NG.
For some reason, the concept of simultaneity has become associated with the
human visual system.

As I have repeatedly pointed out, NOW here is NOW everywhere.
NOW plus one second is NOW plus one second EVERYWHERE.
Simultaneity is absolute and universal. Einstein's approach is absolute
crap.

Even if humans still don't know to communicate at infinite speed, the
concept is legitimate and meaningful.

The dingleberries here remind me of dolphins teaching their kids that,
"nothing can move faster than the speed of sound in water".

The best way to synchronize separated clocks is to do it while they are
together then move them into place.

A theoretically 100% accurate way is to do it mechanically, as I suggested
in another thread.

just set up a long rotating rod with a line along the top. Place clocks at
each end and let them 'tick' every time the line comes around.

They are then in absolute synch in all frames.

an ordinary (flat) movie is "3d,"

what is wrong with the usaul write-up of the twins problem,

thus:

But if you move them, they may not still be in sync. We know from
experiment that moving clocks can change their ticking rates .. so you have
to be very careful how you move them. Move them both symmetrically (but in
different directions) works just fine

If the mechanics was perfect .. lots of sources of error though. But there
are definitely mechanical ways to make two clocks in sync.

And they will all agree with what SR predicts.

All you can say for sure is that they are in sync in their own frame. You
have to PROVE that they are also in sync in other frames .. just asserting
it doesn't prove it.

Q: How can you test (in theory) whether or not two moving clocks are in sync
?

One way is to note the times on some synchronised stationary clocks as the
moving clocks pass by .. and if they show the same differences (between
moving and stationary clock), then they must be in sync.

Would you agree that that is a test for whether two moving clocks are in
sync ?

Nonsense. In engineering, what you said previously is constantly

Physicists, on the other hand, can babble about bullshit without any

It sounds like you are talking yourself in tossing mathematical
support of a physical hypothesis out of the window. Please stop
downgrade the importance of math in physics and in engineering as
well. Math ultimately rules in physics to support a claim and in
engineering as well. Without math, you only have philosophy where no
one can prove you right or wrong. You become the generation of flower
children. Smoking ganja? <shrug>

Well, it is the jobs of engineers to model the world, within the
specification imposed and beyond for margins, with mathematics.
Anyone should expect the same standard to be applied to physicists.
Is that too much to ask? So, physicists are just too stupid to model
their world with sound mathematics, but engineers can. Again,
engineers’ jobs depend on it while physicists can bullshit their way
out of shit can without any rigorous mathematical proofs. It is no
wonder a physicist can be amazed by a well modeled of the world in
mathematics. What a fvcked up piece of so-called science that is.
How can anyone call himself or herself a physicist without any shame?
Oh, yes, the emperor’s clothes. <shrug>

The concept 'space' is defined with light and distance in space means
run-time of light-signals.

But faster than c could be as well possible, only not far, because 'far'
means 'space' and that is defined by means of light.

How would a very fast connection look like?
It is like a signal, that is back at an instant and no time elapsed.
But is could be small, only it must appear static, since infinitely fast
appears static.

These are the characteristics of static fields. These seem to connect
without delay. Gravitation for example could be as well understood as
'action without delay'.

Gravitation is quite weak, but we know, that smaller things are more
energetic.
So lets take gravity and make it smaller.
So we have a very small structure, but much stronger field than gravity.

This would look suspiciously like an atom.

Now we do the same and make the atom smaller and get a nucleus.

But we could also make the solar system larger and make gravity weaker
and frequency slower. This would look like a galaxy.

Now we do the same with the galaxy and make the internal bonds larger
and get a super-cluster.

All these structures share the same feature: a seemingly static
connection. Only frequency seems to exchange with size.

It dosn't matter how they are moved if they are good clocks. They can always
be brought together again to check drift.

That statement shows how little you know about SR....absolutely nothing.

Einstein's definition is that clocks are in synch if they are adjusted so
that tB-tA = tA'-tB, irrspective of the known travel times in opposite
directions. That result can be hugely different from mechanical synching.

It doesn't have to be tested. The two clocks are using the same oscillator
and the same zero. They MUST be in absolute synch. You seem to be under the
impression that event timing is related to light.

For christ's sake read Einstein's 1905 paper so you will know something

That's not right.

If gravity acts with finite speed, that would explain the supposed anomalous
precession of Mercury.

But if you bring them back together, that says nothing about what happened
when they were apart, moron.

That's like saying the fridge light must be one when the door is shut,
because it is on before you shut it, and is on when you open it again.

SR says clocks moved mutually apart will remain in sync.

Clock stability has always been the prime concern of clock makers. Why do
you think pendulum clocks were useless on ships?
The aim is to reduce random drift to a tolerable level for the intended
purpose. Otherwise, nothing is likely to cause any decent clock to change
its characteristics when moved.

You wouldn't have the intelligence to understand the vast difference between
E-synching and mechanical synching. You're completely out of your depth on a

The @t'/@t and @t/@t' are partial derivatives.
It is nothing contradictory about they being equal.
They can indeed co-exist.
This is "mutual time dilation".

Apparently Norwegians use Belgian mathematics.
Belgian math:
" t' = g ( t - v x )
@t'/@t = @t/@t' = g " -- Dork Van de Imbecile.
Norwegian math:
"The @t'/@t and @t/@t' are partial derivatives.
It is nothing contradictory about they being equal." -- Partial Tusseladd.

Their transforms are meaningless drivel anyway. They all stem directly from
Einstein's bogus RoS. You will never win an argument against a relativist if
you don't point out the circular nature of their logic. The whole theory is
perfectly consistent IF and only if the RoS is correct.

I have now revealed the subtle error in its derivation that fooled the world
for 100 years.

On what is your assumption based that it is impossible to build a time
machine ?

That would mean that every theory is wrong.

These must be Machian fairies. I quite like them.

Lame.
What does a clock measure ?

Ralph Rabbidge, who is neither a Henry nor a Wilson and most
certainly not a DSc., has faild to learn about the relativity
of simultaneity. Take, for example, two observers in relative
motion to each other. Say, one on the ground and one on a
passing train.

The space-time diagram makes it easy to see for which
observer, simultaneity holds.

See: http://www.phys.vt.edu/~takeuchi/relativity/notes/section09.html

Here's the thought problem:
http://www.phys.vt.edu/~takeuchi/relativity/notes/lightbulb.gif

Here's the analysis via space-time diagram:
http://www.phys.vt.edu/~takeuchi/relativity/notes/lightbulb-STD.gif

Events that seem to have happened at the same time for the observer
on train do not happen at the same time for the observer on the
ground. The concept of before and after actually depends on the
observer.

What's hilarious is Partial Tusseladd/Partial Idiot saying "The @t'/@t and

That is not a proper example of the RoS.

You don't need a space/time diagram to prove your purile point.

that is purely a result of light's finite travel time. It is obvious and of
no importance to physics.

Simultaneity, Einstein style, claims that two clocks which are in synch in
one frame will not be in synch in any other.

You can see the logical error in his derivation of the RoS here:

Maybe they both have the value 1 in Norway.

Henry I agree with a lot of what you say. Here is the problem. We
associate seeing things lighted as being performed by the human visual
system. We also associate light as being the fastest form of
communication- and in terms with the precision- light performs the
task better than all others in defining what a clock is. The third
remarkable fact is that special relativity says that we should not
depend on what we see. On the contrary, our common sense world and
our special relativity world shall not mix.

So the question is, how do we resolve all three of these aspects to
obtain a single meaning?

There is nothing wrong with depending on gears- but when we transport
these gears or we extend the shaft over a large distance- does this
not alter the inner functioning of these gears- does not the rod bend?
