A new theory of relativity called IRT is invented. IRT rejects
the notion of reciprocity. Each muon observer will say that
he is moving toward the earth at high speed and thus avoid the
bogus concept of reciprocity. A paper on IRT is available in
the following link:
http://www.modelmechanics.org/2011irt.dtg.pdf
Also new theory of gravlity called DTG is included in this paper.

Good lord what a bonehead.

In order to make it clearer for you, let me restate what Paul Anderson
was trying to say in sharper, cleaner terms so that you cannot possibly
misunderstand it.

"From a reference frame in which a particular cosmic muon is at rest,
the earth is moving at a speed close to c toward it."

Note that there is no frame in which all the cosmic ray muons
approaching the earth are at rest, though there is ALWAYS at least one
frame in which at least one of the muons is at rest.

Paul Anderson thought that you would be able to see that his statement
and mine are identical, but you have a demonstrated inability to see
things like that, and you blame others when you cannot see it.

Translation: "The other explanation for why I, Seto, cannot understand
what people like Anderson are saying is that it's their fault, not mine,
and what they are describing is bull."

Hey idiot....at rest wrt what? There is no cosmic muon is
at rest. Every object in the universe is in a state of individual
motion in space.

Since there is no cosmic muon is at rest....your statement is bogus.
Just as your failure to understand How SR compare "proper time" between
frames. Gee you are stupid.

At rest with respect to the reference frame. Do you know what this
means? Suppose there is a car driving down the road at 60 mph relative
to trees and stop signs. Can you visualize the reference frame in which
this car is at rest?

(If you cannot visualize the reference frame in which this car is at
rest, then you have never understood what a reference frame is.)

Each cosmic ray muon is at rest in a particular reference frame, just
like there is a reference frame in which the car above is at rest.

(If you cannot see this, then you have never understood what a reference
frame is.)

No there is no such thing as rest frame for any object. The car,
the trees and the stop signs are all in a state of motion in space
Similtarly there is frame at which the cosmic muon is at rest.
By definition the cosmic muon was born at high speed.

OK, so you don't know what a reference frame is. You cannot visualize
the reference frame in which the car is at rest, and you cannot
visualize the reference frame in which the cosmic muon is at rest. And
since you don't know what a rest frame is (a reference frame in which a
car is at rest or a muon is at rest), you declare that they don't exist.

I've known for quite a while that you've never understood what a
reference frame is, but you've never been able to admit it. Instead, you
just say that whatever you don't understand, doesn't exist.

I'll just add for spice, Seto, that it is remarkable that someone who
has never understood what "reference frame" means would go to all the
trouble to write a book criticizing relativity.

It's astounding, in fact, for someone to spend so long discussing a
subject when you don't even know what the words (like "reference frame")
mean.

Now, if you will look in your copy of Halliday and Resnick, I believe
Chapter 2, there will be a discussion of reference frames, and it will
talk about the reference frame in which a car is at rest, the reference
frame in which a boat is at rest, etc. If you had stopped there and
asked questions like, "I don't understand how something can be at rest
in a reference frame if it is obviously moving with respect to the
ground," BEFORE trying to launch into relativity, you would have spared
yourself twenty years of useless floundering.

Ignorance is correctable. Stupidity is not.
Insanity is treatable, but only if the subject desires it. Stupidity is not.

Seto has wrestled with relativity for over twenty years ago. It has
never occurred to him that the reason he does not understand relativity
is that he does not know what the words mean. A less stupid person would
have said, "Hey, I'm not sure what these terms 'absolute time' or
'reference frame' or 'proper length' or 'length contraction' or
'coordinates' mean. Maybe I should ask what they mean first before I
judge." Unfortunately, he wrote a book almost 20 years ago that cemented
in his commitment to not even try. He walked down the one-way street of
RelativityIsWrong before even having a serious look the other direction.
This was the point that insanity set in. Senility is more recent.
Stupidity first, insanity next, senility last.

Same applies to many others who have visited this little patch of grass.

At the risk of giving you too much to absorb, Seto, I'll go on.
You of course have the habit of saying things like "Well, if Halliday
and Resnick have discussions of reference frames in which a car is at
rest, then that is because it is an incorrect definition of reference
frames." And then you will declare your right to define reference frames
as being spatial zones with boundaries that are tied to material
objects, so that no reference frame is at rest, and no object in the
reference frame is at rest because the objects are in motion, and the
reference frames of all these objects approach each other or recede from
each other. And you will say this is what it means to the public,
because that's what YOU think it means, and so this should be the right
definition, and that scientists have no right to change the definition
of reference frame.

Never mind that you never actually learned what "reference frame" ever
meant in the first place.

Stupidity followed by insanity followed by senility followed by death
followed by obscurity.

Seto, you have made more wrong choices than a three-time-loser junkie
and penny-ante burglar serving a life sentence in a state penitentiary.

Then he will conclude that the money he made is 48 - 450 = -402 $; but since negative numbers dont exist, he has lost no money therefore he must have made money.

Seto, because you never learned what a reference frame is, and since you
cannot read, I offer you an old half-hour film. Notice that you can
pause it when your mind wanders, and you can rewind and rewatch parts
you did not hear correctly or need to see again.

Then Seto has won in those cultures by relieving weight in his wallet

Sometimes it is even hard work,

You are stupid....I didn't claim the earth will explode. I said that
what Paul Andersen (SR) assert will cause the earth to explaode. In
my theory no IRT observer claims that he is at rest. Therefore he has
two sets of equations to predict the rate of a clock moving wrt him.

For your information:

This is an old story, from 2000:

Ken found this hilarious and has presented his

And no, your rewording of Ken's (mis)quotation,

Every object in the universe is in a state of motion and thus
no object is in a state of rest and thus there is no rest frame
for any object. This statement applies to ALL theories.

SR claims a preferred rest frame and LET claims an absolute rest
aether frame. Both theories use these non-existence rest frames
to derive their math and that's why SR and LET have the same math.
The problem of using these non-existence rest frames is that
the resulting math is incomplete.....and that;s why SR and LET
are incomplete theories and have limited domain of applicabilities.

IRT does not use a rest frame to derive its math. That's why every IRT
observer has two sets of equations to predict the rate of a moving
clock and the light-path length of a moving meter stick. That's why
IRT is a complete theory of relativity. A paper on IRT is available
in the following link:

Every SRT observer claims to be in a preferred rest frame and

I agree. But you failed to understand that 1 second of
muon's proper time is corresponded to gamma seconds of
of proper time on the earth clock.

No the longer life time of the muon (2.2*gamma according to
the earth clock) enable it to reach the earth's surface.
There is no space contraction as you claimed.

xxein: Better yet, have him take a drive in the countryside. Have
him close his eyes, take his hands off the steering wheel and grab the
dashboard. Ask him if his dash is moving. Tell him that is his rest
frame in the car. Now hopefully he can imagine that a tree is moving
past and that it is at rest wrt ground in its own rest frame. With a
little bit of luck (with his eyes closed) his car will find a tree and
argue over who is at rest. Enjoy that discussion, Ken. We won't miss
you.

In reference frame of running car,
a sitting passenger
is in rest in every theory.

In Earth surface reference frame,
an object laying on the surface
is in rest in every theory.

Note that this relates to relative rest, not absolute rest.

SR does not claim there exists absolute rest.

Relative rest???
A and B are in relative motion who is at relative rest?
According to SR:
A or B each claims that he is at relative rest.
That's why A predicts that B's clock is running
slow by a factor of 1/gamma_a and B predicts that
A's clock is running slow by a factor of 1/gamma_b.

Unfortunately these SR predictions do not match observations
All clocks iin relative motion will accumulate clock seconds
at different rates. What this mean is that only one of these
SR predictions is correct. In other words, SR is an incomplete
theory of relativity.
That's why I inventred a new theory of relativity called IRT.
IRT provides two sets of equations for each observer. The IRT
predictions for A and B are as follows:
Observer A's predictions:
Delta(t_B)=gamma_A*Delta(t_A)
OR
Delta(t_B)=Delta(t_A)/gamma_A
Only one of these predictions is correct.

Observer B's predictions:
Delta(t_A)=gamma_B*Delta(t_B)
OR
Delta(t_A)=Delta(t_B)/gamma_B
Only one of these predictins is correct.

So you can see that IRT is a complete theory of relativity.
IRT includes SRT as a subset.

every object is in state of relative rest
in such a reference frame, where its space coordinates are constant.

If such a frame is e.g. binded to Earth surface,
every objects laying on the E. surface is in relative rest.

They just do not match your imagination of observations.

Such frame can be as well binded to object A,
so object B is in relative rest or motion wrt O. A,
if its coordinates are or are not constant
in such a reference frame.

There is no absolute reference frame,
where you could evaluate absolute motion of objects.

There are only relative reference frames,
where you could evaluate relative motion of objects.

That is your delusion. You insist that what YOU think must be true, must
be therefore in all theories. But that is counter to black and white
documentation. But you don't care. You believe what you believe and no
one will ever get you to change your mind, because you are insane.

You do not know what a reference frame means. This is obvious when you
say no rest frame for any object can exist, even when your FRESHMAN
physics book says otherwise. You deny it further when you say your
freshman book, which you have in your own two hands, cannot possibly
talk about the rest frame of an object, because according to you your
ideas are true for ALL theories.

You therefore say that what is printed in a book you have cannot
possibly be printed there. Such is the nature of your insanity, Seto.

You're gone. Good-bye.

How can the space coordinates for any object are constant
when you know every object in th euniverse is moving in space??

You are talking in circles...the observer constructs this frame
by declaring that he is in a state of rest while he knows that
he is in a state of motion in space....the earth is rotating
and the earth is orbiting the sun.

That's the point.....there is no symmetry. Clocks in relatice motion
accumulate clock seconds in different rates....the GPS confirms this
conclusion.

I always think there is something peculiar about the
assertion that the distance from the muon to the
earth's surface is length contracted. If, for example,
you have a moving rod then, according to SR, it will
be length contracted in a 'stationary' frame. But SR
does not say that the distance from the stationary
frame observer to the near end of the moving rod is
length contracted. Why not? Because length
contraction applies where two locations within
the moving frame are measured in the stationary frame,
and not for the measurement between one location
in the stationary frame and one in the moving frame.
To get around this by trying to use the distance
between the current atmospheric location of the
muon, in the earth frame, and the earth surface
doesn't really work because it contradicts this
principle. So I think the orthodox have some
explaining to do about their explanation :)

Every SR observer declares that he is in a state of rest
while he knows that he is in a state of motion....the
rotational motion of the earth and the orbitiing motion
of the earth around the sun.

The only reference frame in which SR observer can be
at rest is the aether frame....SR calls the aether frame
as an inertial frame. That's why SR and LET have the same math.

The problem of using the aether frame or inertial frame to derive
the math is that the resulting math is incomplete. That's why I
invented the IRT. An IRT observer does not consider himself is
at rest in any frame of reference and thus every IRT observer
has two sets of equations to predict the rate of a clock moving
wrt him as follows:
Delta(t_B)=gamma_A(Delta(t_A))
OR
Delta(t_B)=Delta(t_A)/gamma_A

Seto cannot read his freshman physics textbook which shows in Chapter 2
examples of coordinates of objects being constant.

To him, it's simply inconceivable and so it cannot exist, even if it
says so in his freshman physics textbook, Chapter 2.

And even though he cannot get past Chapter 1 in his freshman physics
textbook, he wants to talk about relativity.

Seto is insane.

But it is, in the frame in which the rod is at rest and that observer is
moving. That distance is indeed contracted.

I'm sorry you never saw that or knew that. Maybe it has something to do
with the materials you read.

As I said, you have no idea what a reference frame means, and you have
no idea what your FRESHMAN physics textbook means in chapter 2 when it
considers objects that are at rest in a certain reference frame. To you,
even the stuff in chapter 2 in a FRESHMAN physics text is completely
incomprehensible.

And yet you want to talk about relativity.

You are insane.

You know it, even if you can't admit it to a living soul.

So what is your point? I already told you that the text book
decription of a reference frame is identical to the rest frame
of the aether frame and that's why SR and LET have identical math.

No, that is what the textbook description is.

My point is, you have no idea what a reference frame is or what the term
means, and that you are stuck in Chapter 2 of a FRESHMAN physics
textbook says and do not understand it, and yet you want to talk about
relativity.

My point is, you are insane.

There is no absolute motion,

2 mutually moving clocks creates perfect symmetry.

OK, so lets take 3 clocks, mutually moving

Another kind of perfect symmetry,

Yes it is....an inertial reference frame has all the properties of
the rest frame of the aether.

Yes every inertial frame observer (every SR observer) claims the

why the predictions of SR and LET are incomplete.

All clocks in relative motion accumulate clock seconds at
different rates....thus there is no symmetry. The GPS
confirms this....they had to redefine the GPS second to
have 4.46 more periods of Cs133 radiation to make the GPS
in synch with the ground clock

So you support my conclusion that there is no symmetry between

Really ?

If there are 2 mutually moving inertial refererence frame,
which of them has ALL properties of rest frame of the aether ?

Or, do you say you are always in the rest wrt aether ?

Kenseto told us assertion is not valid argument.
where do you see in symmetry setting the source of asymmetry ?

I am sorry, evaluation implicitly expects
your ability to distinguish what is symmetrical and what is not.

GPS is not. 2 mutually inertially moving clocks are.

And you have avoided to answer the symmetrical 3 clock setting,
each mutually relatively move at speed v, lets say giving gamma = 2.

Either you broke the symmetry according to IRT, leading to paradox,
Either you have abandon assymetry of the IRT.

No you don't see. There is no inertial frame exists in our universe.
The SR inertial frame is the aether frame....but no SR observer
is at rest in the aether frame. Therefore when you use the
aether (inertial)to derive the math is incomplete.

So, you say *by other words*,
that if the car A is moving 100 km/h wrt the car B,
the car B is moving wrt to the car A
by speed different to 100 km/h.

No it is you who don't know what a reference frame means.
In any case it is irrelevant. The SR observer claims
that he is at rest in an non-existence inertial frame
to calculate the rate of a moving clock and such calculation
is incomplete....an observed clock can run at a faster rate
than the observer's clock.

What you are saying is not clear to me.

If the rear end of a moving rod passes you in your
'stationary' frame, at your time t = 0, then the distance
from you to that end of the moving rod is always
given as vt, and not (1/g)vt (g for gamma), whereas
the length of the moving rod in your frame is (1/g)L,
where L is the proper length of the rod. If the relative
velocity, v, is increased, the distance vt is increased
for the same time t, but the length of the rod in your
frame is decreased. So there is a 'qualitative' difference
between the vt distance and the length of the rod.

In the muon's case, the muon corresponds to you,
and the diameter of the earth corresponds to the
moving rod. On this model, the diameter of the earth
is contracted in the muon's frame but the distance
to the earth is a vt distance and is therefore not length
contracted in the same way in the muon's frame??

It's not between you and me. Look at Chapter 2 of your FRESHMAN physics
text to find out what "reference frame" means.
You don't know what it means, and you'll discover that by reading.

Of course it's relevant that you don't know what the words mean.

It is not relevant....Every SR observer claims that he is in
an non-existence inertial frame that possesses all the exclusive
properties of the preferred aether frame. What that mean is that
an inertial frame is the aether frame. Unfortunately no SR or LET observer is at rest in the aether frame and that's why the math derived from the
aether frame is incomplete.

Bullshit. You CLEARLY do not know what a reference frame is.
This I know because you declared that something exists that your
freshman physics textbook clearly describes.

You're a fucking liar, Seto, if you claim you've read and understood
what "reference frame" means.

This is wrong.

A rod with proper length L is passing you with the speed v.

Let's apply the Lorentz transform:

|=============|-------------> x' -> v
-L 0
|-------------|-------------> x
0
Event E0:
You are at x=0, the front of the rod adjacent.
The coordinates of this event are:
x = 0, t = 0, x' = 0, t' = 0

--------------|=============|---> x' -> v
-L -L 0
|-------------|-----------------> x
0

Event E1:
You are at x=0, the end of the rod adjacent.
The coordinates of this event are:
x' = -L, t' = L/v
x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = (-L + L)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = 0
t = (t' + vx'/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = (L/v - vL/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
t = (L/v)(1 - v^2/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
t = (L/v)sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

Since the rod has used the time (L/v)sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) to pass
you with the speed v, you can only conclude that the length
of the rod was L sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).

The same goes for the distance to the Earth.
You are the muon, and the atmosphere with proper length L
is passing you with the speed v.

OK, so the distance is still vt, but t is shorter than
L/v. Thanks

As you know, I do not support Minkowski spacetime

There is perfect both and mirror symmetry between them,
no sourse of asymmetry.
Their clocks tick by the identical pace.
Your supposed asymmetry has sour in lack of SR knowledge.

And this is another evidence of lack of your RT knowledge.
GPS is very diferent asymetrical case,
where GR effects come by asymmetrical way.

BTE according to IRT a half of GPS sats would have to be
set for drift 45+7 us/day and the other half to 45-7 us/day.
nobody would be able to use GPS.

For every object there is a frame where is no fictious force,
therefore it is an inertial frame. and if there is an inertial frame,
there is infinite number of other inertial frames.

It is exact opposite, can you give actual and not asserted source
of asymmetry in totally symmetrical settings ?

Your assertions are in strong disagreement with experiments
and with very basic physical and geometrical principles.

The former case has perfectly mirror symmetry,
if you perform reflecting operation of symmetry,
you have to get and you would get identical results.

The latter case has perfect rotation symmetry per 120 degress.
If you perform rotation symmetry operation,
you have to get and you would get identical results.

No such experiments exists. The only way you can get symmetry as you
asserted is that all three clocks are at rest wrt each other.

There is no way
to make you understand the symmetry or SR or reference frames.
You are not able to explain source of asymmetry in symmetrical settings,

Quite.
Lorentz contraction and time dilation are two sides of the same coin.

That is a huge understatement. Seto is so pathetic it's tragic.

> You are not able to explain source of asymmetry in symmetrical settings,

I'm not sure what you are getting at here. Symmetry is a wonderful
and integral part of modern physics, but there is are differences
between fundamental symmetries of nature as expressed in the
formality of physical theories and symmetries inherent in specific
(real or assumed) setups of clocks, rods, or whatever. Fundamental
symmetries are always true, at least to the extent that the models
being used are accurate and within their appropriate domain of
applicability. The symmetries of specific setups, while often of
great practical problem-solving value, do not have the same
fundamental nature. Many times I have seen people mix these two
types of symmetry up in physics discussions, leading to confusion.

A fun informational and historical look at fundamental symmetries
in modern physics is given in some podcasts available at the link
below.

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/podcasts/media/more/symmetry

I recommend listening to the whole series, but the part most
relevant to relativity is this one, #5.

I am trying to show that
2 relatively inertialy moving clocks have enough symmetry
not to have reason for

gamma time dilation in one direction
and 1 / gamma contraction in the opposite one,

as Kenseto IRT tries to tell us.

Nonsense. A transform with Lorentz-FitzGerald length contraction and
Galilean absolute time (observed light speed behaves in a classical
sense) is sufficient to satisfy the null results of the MMX. However,
a transform built around this Lorentz-FitzGerald length contraction
with Galilean absolute time cannot explain the extra immortality of
muons. <shrug>

PD has already agreed to this point. Tom is cautiously staying away
from this one. We know the little professor is still very sore, but
if the little professor has some time left after chasing his own tail,
would he like to get embarrassed again contradicting Koobee
Wublee? :-)

Hehehehe... Did Koobee Wublee ever bluff? Ahahahaha...

The cosmic muons do not falsify any of the infinite transforms that
also satisfy the null results of the MMX either. Cherry-picking a
model out of an infinite possibilities without any unique support has
(1 / infinity) chance of being correct/valid, no? <shrug>

Indeed it fails many other tests, including the Galilean principle of
relativity and conservation of momentum and energy. That is why Lorentz
length contraction and Lorentz time dilation are "two sides of the same
coin" like Andersen said; you can't have one without the other.

If I was you, I would be listening to what this Andersen person says. I

So? FitzGerald’s transform (the said transform with just the Lorentz-
FitzGerald length contraction) behaves like the Galilean transform at
low speeds. What else do you want? Besides, there have never been
any experiments that have shown the principle of relativity to be
valid in the first place. <shrug>

Nonsense. The various combinations of the length contraction/
extension and time dilation/anti-dilation are found all over the place
in the transforms that also satisfy the null results of the MMX.
There is no experimental proof that they are the two sides to a coin.

The little professor is a crack pot himself. He has many blunders.
The biggest one is his treatment on the twin’s paradox. Higher level
self-styled physicists have already agreed with Koobee Wublee and
moved on to the stage of preaching the proper time as what all age
through. That leaves the little professor holding the bag. If you
don’t believe in Koobee Wublee, just read Tom’s posts on the twins’
paradox. <shrug>

Being hired as a male prostitute to do lip service for the self-styled
physicists, peter webb is indeed failing his assignment. What does
anyone expect from an Einstein Dingleberry? <shrug>
