TIME DILATION

Vertner Vergon


The question arises, how can we judge the accuracy of an article that
involves a theory?

Firstly, the article (theory) must be consistent both internally and
with empiricism. If it isn't it is flawed.

Secondly, it must not violate any known physics laws. Nor, obviously,
can it lead to a reductio ad absurdum.

Theories necessarily contain speculation - else they are not theories
but simply logical constructs. Such constructs must also meet the above
requirements.

Articles generally contain both theory and reference to facts (such as
experiments). These must be verified.

If an article ( or theory) meets these requirements it cannot be
rejected. If it is, it is done so out of sheer obstinancy and/or
stupidity.

Let us examine the concept of Time Dilation as contained in the Special
Theory of Relativity.
We start our examination of the time dilation concept by going to its
source -- Einstein's paper, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies. We
refer to his gedanken experiment of moving clocks. One of two identical
clocks remains at rest while the other moves away and returns. When
Einstein perceived the difference of the clock readings in his
calculations, he stated the moving clock "was slow by ...". The
immediate perception by the public was that he meant if a clock was
"slow by" - it had to have run slower. He also said the moving clock
was "behind" the inertial clock by ... . These two statements do
not mean the same thing. If one clock is running slower, then it is
running slower, and that has only one meaning.

On the other hand to say one clock is behind the other is open to
alternative explanations, e.g., the moving clock could have traveled a
shorter world line -- or may have traveled faster than observed. In
either case the clock would maintain its normal (proper) rate but for a
shorter duration than the inertial clock and thus be behind. At any
rate the accepted version is that the clock ran slower and thus was
born the concept of time dilation.

This concept is usually presented by an illustration that says if one
were to observe a clock on a fast moving spaceship, they would observe
it to run slowly. It must be emphasized that this running slowly occurs
regardless of the direction or vector of the ship. That is to say it
matters not whether the spaceship is receding or approaching, time runs
slower. Also to be emphasized is that this slowness of time is not just
a matter of observation but actually takes place -- for when the clock
returns it is actually 'behind" the stationary (or Earth) clock.

Since this is the declared case, we are inevitably drawn to only one
conclusion, the moving clock has to be running slowly in its own
coordinate system. Here we are faced with an unforgiving contradiction
for basic relativity states that all clocks keep proper time in their
respective coordinate systems. It is inconsistent that a clock can
actually run slowly in its own coordinate system - and also, the
while, keep proper time; in short the clock would have to keep two
different rates simultaneously, a reductio ad absurdum. This
contradiction requires that the time dilation concept, i.e., t' = t (1
- v2/c2)^ 1/2 be discarded.

The question arises, is there something to take its place? The answer
is yes.

To lay the foundation for this replacement we note that any known
constant frequency is a clock. The scientific community has chosen the
excited cesium atom as the standard atomic clock. This is an arbitrary
choice. Next, we note that the cesium clock (or any other constant
frequency atom) will never vary in its rate. So they will always keep
proper time. However, observations of these clocks will show a
variation due to the Doppler effect. We declare this variation in
frequency is a variation in observed time. Since the frequency is a
clock, an observed variation in the frequency is an observed variation
in time. Call it Doppler or what one will, that is merely a description
of the mechanics. In the final analysis it is a variation in observed
time.

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM.

Next, we examine a counter argument which states that the relativistic
Doppler rate is the result of the following: If one takes the
non-relativistic Doppler rate and modifies it by the time dilation
they, come up with the relativistic Doppler rate. This, supposedly,
confirms time dilation. Upon further examination, we perceive that even
if we were to accept that explanation, what we have is the situation
whereby an approaching clock is observed to run fast -- not as fast as
non-relativistic mechanics would have -- but fast. This is contrary to
time dilation which requires an approaching clock to run slowly. That a
reversal in direction results in a reversal of time rate is to be
expected since time variation is the result of velocity vectors - and
vectors are directional.

If a theory conflicts with empiricism, it has to be discarded.

Using the Doppler rate as the time rate will yield the time dilation
effect. And that is the proper way to refer to it -- "time dilation
effect". The reason: The net time differential when the movement of the
clock is complete is the same as though the dilation time was operative
throughout.

What then? What is the explanation for the "effect", but not the
actuality? Particle accelerator operators and Ives & Stillwell claim to
have "directly observed" time dilation. What they have observed is
transverse Doppler rates. And it so happens, by some extraordinary
coincidence, that the transverse Doppler rate is the same as the time
dilation rate.

And now to display the Doppler time resolution of the Twins Paradox:
What is displayed here is the round trip Twins experience with no
paradox. The upward arrow signifies outward bound, the downward arrow
signifies inward bound. The double arrows signify the ship being
observed going outbound while it in actuality is traveling inbound.
(second chart). This, of course, is due to the time it takes light to
travel. The velocity is v(.75c). At this velocity the so called time
dilation rate is 1/2 . The distance to far-point is sqrt(3 light
seconds). So the elapsed time for the ship's transit is one second
due to the fact its actual velocity is sqrt(3 light seconds/sec) ( See
The Dual Velocity Theory of Relativity.)
( For seconds or years, the figures hold.)

This means that four years on earth would be only two years on ship.
The time rates shown in the second chart are the time rates of the ship
as observed by earth. They are Doppler rates.

They have to be. Any invariable frequency -- clock or atom -- will be
observed at Doppler rates. The same is true for observations of earth
by the ship (first chart). So there is a parity of rate observations as
required by the principle of relativity.

Notice, there is no time dilation rate observed (1/2 in this case) --
but when the trip is concluded the difference in the clock readings is
as though the ship clock had run at half time to the earth clock, i.e.
, run at dilation time. When Einstein saw that in his calculations
(1905 paper) he said the A clock "ran slow" by ... . This created the
impression that time really ran slower for the ship's clock. The table
below shows this isn't so. It runs at the normal (proper) rate but is
observed to run at the Doppler rate.

It is worth mentioning that according to the Special Theory of
Relativity a clock in the approach mode runs slow - but astronomers
observe clocks in the approach mode, and they are running fast.
Consequently, there is no time dilation observed. There is, however, a
time dilation effect, i.e., the transit time differential on the two
clocks -- and these were created by Doppler time.

So we see that although the final time differential is as though time
dilation were operating - in fact it is the Doppler time-frequency
that operates.

Note: Not only is there a parity of rate observations, but the length
of time each twin is an observer is equal to the time he is observed.
Thus there is a time commonality of observation. This, in a space-time
chart given in Space-time Physics (by Taylor and Wheeler), is labeled
the "line of simultaneity".

Bzzt. What if the "known physics laws" turn out to be inaccurate
or inconsistent with experiment? The old theories are constructed
from fewer experimental results than the new theories.

No... the theory is silent about the *appearance* of an aproaching
clock and it says this about the *appearance* of receeding clock:

<< As judged from K, the clock is moving with the velocity v; as judged
from this reference-body, the time which elapses between two strokes of
the clock is not one second, but

(equation)

seconds, i.e. a somewhat larger time. >>

Advanced potential is a causal absurdiy so an approaching clock
wouldn't illustrate anything.

It's flawed, we don't need any more.
The flaw is right at the beginning, the speed of light is declared
constant from A to A in time t'A-tA.

Crank theories of aether are flawed too, so all that is left is

The time dilatation or the relativity of the time is a joke of the
mathematics. The relation
t'=t(1-v^2/c^)^1/2 Is mistaken. If you mean that t is the time at the
rails and t' at a train than the relation should be:
t=t'/R where R=(1-v^2/c^2)^1/2, for the determination of the time at
the railwayand,
t'=t/R for the determination of the time at the train. If you respect
the Lorentz transformation you can't invert these relations. Now if you
calculate with these relations the time dilatation many times you will
obtain so many times time dilatations and the time will grow
continually.Evidently these results depend only of the erronate Lorentz
transformation and do not exist and in the nature.
About the question of the theories, I should say that a theory to be a
real one must fulfil two conditions: first to be a correct theory, and
second to be accepted by an unanimity of the men who are specialists in
that domen. As we can realize the Einstein theory doesn't fulfil both
of these conditions.

It seems that you don't understand the meaning of the variables
t and t' in these relations.
You see, t is not just like you say "the time at the rails", and t' is
not "the time at the train".
If t and t' were like you think they are, then indeed there is
something wrong.
This is a *very* common mistake and misunderstanding.

The variable t is "the time Of Some Event according to a clock
on the rails", whereas the variable t' is "the time Of Some Event
according to a clock on the train.
The specification "Of Some Event" is the most important part
in these definitions. Ignoring it guarantees immediate failure.

The relation
t' = t sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
says something about an event that happens on the train.
whereas the relation
t = t' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
says something about an event that happens on the rails.

These relations say something about very different situations.
Do you understand this?

It doesn't matter that you find a contradiction as a result of the flaw,
the actual flaw which is at the root cause of all examples is c = 0/0.
There are a gazillion examples out there, everyone has there own.

"If you respect the Lorentz transformation you can't invert these
relations."

All statements starting with "If" should be completed with a clause
commencing with "Else" as any competent computer programmer
will know.

If "A" then "B" else "NOT B" or "B"
If "NOT B" then "NOT A" else "A" or "NOT A".

Else you do NOT respect the cuckoo transformations and you


can't invert these relations.

Yes, it is clear that Einstein is making an invalid
assumption. And train lengths *do* change overnight, as
cars are coupled and decoupled and placed on sidings or
added to the train; there's also some give in the couplings
as trains accelerate, simply from metal strain, and also
by design. This makes length experiments very tricky,
as Miller found out in his determinations that we are
moving generally southward in the celestial sphere.

Not that Miller used trains, but he *did* have problems
with length fluctuation -- this time from temperature.

I was referring to x'. However, you are correct; there is a major error
in the paper that requires lightspeed to be zero.

Not 0/0. Not a constant. Not a variable. Zero. This is near the
bottom of section 1 (corrected as per requirements):

In agreement with experience we further assume the quantity

(AB+BA)/(t'_A-t_A) = c

to be a universal constant--the velocity of light in empty space.

since after all the light is being bounced back from a mirror.

This value is *zero*, since AB+BA = 0 as a vector and t'_A-t_A is
nonzero. 0/t = 0 for any t > 0. (For any t < 0 as well, for
that matter.) This also means c is a *vector*, and is identically zero.

Therefore, c = (0,0,0), |c| = 0, and the entire rest of the
paper falls apart. That SR and GR have been confirmed by
many experiments (so the scientists say) leads one to many
interesting paths, some of them suggesting the scientists
are corrupt graft-seeking bloodsucking leeches on society;
others simply referring that the AB+BA logic interpretation
is flat-out wrong.

Of course, most now simply take the simpler (to them) path:
that 2AB/(t'_A-t_A) = c was correct in the first place
and that "Lichtgeschwindigkeit", the original term used,
was intended to mean speed, despite its ambiguity in German.

You are not a slave. You are a superintelligent pandimensional being.

And you are not seeing.

Near the top of Section 3:

If we place x'=x-vt, it is clear that a point at rest in the system

k must have a system of values x', y, z, independent of time. We
first define tau as a function of x', y, z, and t. To do this we
have to express in equations that $\tau$ is nothing else than the
summary of the data of clocks at rest in system k, which have been
synchronized according to the rule given in section 1.

Near the bottom:

For this purpose we introduce a third system of co-ordinates K', which relatively to the system k is in a state of parallel
translatory motion parallel to the axis of Xi (footnote 1) such that the
origin of co-ordinates of system K, moves with velocity -v
on the axis of Xi. At the time t=0 let all three origins
coincide, and when t=x=y=z=0 let the time t' of the system K
be zero. We call the co-ordinates, measured in the system K,
x', y', z', and by a twofold application of our equations of
transformation we obtain [...]

Clearly there are two definitions of x', one simply equating x'=x-vt,
the other defining x' as the first coordinate in a third 4-space, moving
in the direction opposite to k.

It would appear the second definition of x' = x, not xi. Not that
it matters; beta(v) = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is not a function since
vector c is zero (c^2 = c dot c is a reasonable interpretation).

One has to determine if a law is proven and valid. If not then maybe
the new theory does not have to consider it.

Wrong. Read Einstein's account. He states the moving clock runs slowly

If you measure the distance between two poiints SIMULTANEOUSLY there is
no time interval. So you are not measuring the distance by a time
interval. There is no motion.

Right, there is no motion involved in measuring the longitudinal
length of an object, even if it is moving with respect to you
while you measure its length.
At some time, the distance to one endpoint is x1 and
the distance to the other endpoint is x2. The length is then
|x1-x2|. That's how one can measure the lenght of a moving
object. Nothing is moving between the endpoints x1 and x2,
so dividing |x1-x2| by some time interval is meaningless.
Like you say, "there is no motion" involved here.

Since nothing is moving between the endpoints of the object


during some time interval, the act of dividing the difference between
these distances by a time interval is meaningless.

No, actually that is not necessary. The t and t' can mean
time differences with respect to events with t = t' = 0.
In that case t = Dt and t' = Dt'.
But that is not the point.

Hm, so indeed you really have no idea what the variables represent.
Let's add the D-symbols then and talk about explicit differences.

The relation
Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
says something about two events that happen on the train
at the same place (meaning Dx' = 0), whereas the relation
Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
says something about two events that happen on the rails
at the same place (meaning Dx = 0).

Now, as an exercise for you, if you take the equations
together and write
Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) ,
about which events are you talking?
And how is this reflected by the equations?

Err... not really. You can claim c = 0, but the speed of light isn't c
and should not be confused with c. In the original paper Einstein called it
V.
The speed of light is 300,000 km/s relative to the source.
The problem is that Einstein's paper is completely divorced from
physics, it is a rant by an incompetent moron.
We see enough of those in these newsgroups, you've seen them as

"it is clear that the transformation from K to must be the identical
transformation. "

It is clear that we further assume in agreement with experience that K' is a
system of coordinates (another train) passing in the opposite direction.
What the fool is trying to do is get away from the track and embankment
concept and show only relative motion between two trains, each of length x'.

Even his dialogue is pure persuasion, he was a confidence trickster,
but you've pointed out mutual time dilation, or the twin paradox.
If the passing train is contracted in length then its clocks are dilated
too,
and when the trains turn around and meet again the time agrees.
"Turning around" can simply be two satellites going in opposite directions
and meeting again on the opposite side of the Earth, but then the morons
whine that they need GR to solve it, and YOU are too stupid to understand
what they pretend they can do.

No no... the train is moving relative to the station. x is increasing
because time is increasing and v is constant. x = vt (+ a constant)
because we integrate dx/dt and we know that there is a constant
when we do that.
In other words if the locomotive starts moving 1 mile from
the station, the caboose which is at the station also moves,
and the train is (1 mile long which is x') and does not change as
a function of time. So :
x' = x - (integral [dx/dt] .dt) * t
= k, the length of the train

But look earlier... to differentiate the fool says
"hence, if x' be taken infinitessimally small"
So the train is almost zero length and we are back to c being
from A to A in zero time again.

All the way through, c = 0. That is either gross incompetence or
deliberate fraud. I say fraud, the guy knew what he was doing
enough to cheat. "In agreement with experience we further assume"
is clearly a con, given away by those words, we have no such experience.

But it does matter. Muons originate in upper atmosphere and
decay in 2.2 usec. In race between a photon and a muon over
62 miles, the muon wins, yet this is upheld as "proof" of time dilation.
We cannot advance physics based on division by zero, and
we don't need school teachers like Baez globe trotting on other people's
money. I can understand his desire to get away from Southside
Los Angeles, but he is not honest and neither are so-called physicists
in general. Taking money under false pretenses is a crime in my
country, people like Hawking in Britain and Baez in California
should be prosecuted. Frigging CERN costs a king's ransom,
which is ok if it used to investigate Nature, but a waste of money
if used to "prove" Einstein was correct when he wasn't.

That can be used many places.

The believe in a varying speed of light is absurd, because no attempt
to measure the speed of light has ever resulted in other values than c.

The velocity of the emitting object (call it v) does not change the
value of the speed of light as measured. One could expect to measure
v+c, but that never happens. The speed of the light is always measured
to be exactely c, in any frames.

A ballistic theory is absurd, because it would give other values than
the measured one: c.

The concept 'time dilation' is nothing but a logical construct. It
follows from Einsteins two postulates:

* The speed of light is always c. -In all systems, also when they are
moving with different velocities!

* All systems are equal (The same physical laws, which is not so
strange.)

I hope, that you agree with me, that 'time dilation' can be derived
from the first postulate (if people believe in the first postulate or
not.)

Also: The first one is the interesting one, and it can appear quite
strange. -But again, noone has ever measured other values of the speed
of light, than the value known a c. No matter how the systems was
designed and what their velocities was.

The Newtonian speed of light is *NOT* constant; an
elementary consideration of gas kinetic theory should
convince you of that. If one assumes the sun's surface
is pure diatomic hydrogen (monatomic hydrogen will speed
up things by a factor of sqrt(2) = 1.414) then one gets
a v_RMS of approximately

v_RMS = sqrt(3*k*T/(M_H2))

where k = 1.3807*10^-23 J/K is the Boltzmann Constant,
T = 5800 K (the Sun's surface temperature),
and M_H2 = 0.002 kg/mol /N = 0.002 kg/mol / (6.022 * 10^23 at/mol)
= 3.3212 * 10^-27 kg/at.

So v_rms = 8.505 km/s or 2.835 * 10^-5 c. In SR this fuzzes out
the visible light spectra by a few picometers. In Newtonian math
one gets a time adjustment of about 14 milliseconds -- not enough
to bother SOHO or heliographs.

Of course one might (correctly) claim that it is constant
relative to the atom radiating the light but because the
atom is exhibiting Brownian motion, the source containing
the atom will be seen as moving relative to the actual
light generator, and even if the observer is motionless
relative to the macro light source, he will *not* be
motionless relative to the generator, the hot atom.

(In SR this doesn't affect lightspeed but it does fuzz out the
spectral lines a bit. Since you are on record as stating that
SR is fradulent I mention this only for completeness.)

c represents a measured velocity of something; it's a vector.
Since it's zero it's not all that interesting.

And still others are lurking trying to figure this all out -- the jury.

But you will have to at some point explain Ives and
Stillwell, Hafele and Keating (you've already explained
Sagnac), and the superluminal 120xc muon only having an
energy of 2 GeV when it should have an energy far above
that. A muon at lightspeed has a halflife of 660 meters
(speed = 300,000 km/s, lifetime = 2.2 microseconds).

A muon at rest has an energy equivalent of 105.66 MeV, give or take;
this means that a muon traveling at 120x nominal lightspeed should
last for about 80 meters but also have energy
1/2 * (120^2) * (105.66 MeV) = .761 TeV. .759 TeV of that energy
is now unaccounted for, and is floating around somewhere in the
atmosphere.

(Contemporary SR equivalent theories assume 6 GeV incoming, with
4 GeV lost to ionization as the cuckoo-transformed muon wanders
down into ground level. The required gamma is about 120, which
is the same as the time dialation factor, resulting in an energy
of about 12.68 GeV -- a bit high but not nearly as far off.)

While the aurora borealis and aurora australis might be
barely sufficient to explain this energy loss in far
northern or far southern areas, muons can be detected
pretty much anywhere. A SLAC Visitor Center Web cam is

http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/vvc/cosmicrays/crdatacenter.html

together with a data retrieval option that among other things
returns counts and flux, measured as counts/minute/cm^2/sterad.
I don't know offhand how to translate this into average MeV/muon,
though it should be possible.

http://muweb.millersville.edu/~physics/exp.of.the.month/27/index.html

describes a relatively simple device for "trapping" muons in a jug.
While such a device will give one little more than average counts,
it can be done almost anywhere there is a suitable jug, water,
electrical power, and sufficient technology for the detection equipment.

Whoever's selling such equipment is committing fraud as well, since
the calculations accompaying the page are consistent to shoot Newton's
superluminal muon theory in the head. :-) (Especially since Venus is
easily seen in the pre-dawn or post-dusk sky.)

For its part SLAC is a linear accelerator capable of
accelerating electrons and positrons up to 50 GeV.
Since an electron has a rest mass energy equivalency of only 510 keV,
it has a problem similar to LHC and the Bevatron.

I've computed it. It is a mathematical curiosity only, except that
according to Wiki this has been measured by such as Rossi and Hall,
Hasselkamp, Mondry, and Scharmann, and of course Hafele and Keating,
though H&K had to do some trickery to get around statistical issues
with their cesium-ion clocks. (Modern clocks can detect the difference
in a flight from NY to London, and don't require two trips around
the world.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

It's a *big* con job, if pages such as

http://www.physlink.com/Education/askExperts/ae611.cfm

and the LHC specs (which I don't have bookmarked anymore since I lost
my bookmarks some time back) are any indication.

Apparently, there are *two* trains, and they are *both* moving.
The station is K, with coordinates (t,x,y,z). Moving Train #1 is k,
with coordinates (tau,xi, eta, zeta). Moving Train #2 is K',
with coordinates (t',x',y',z'), with the aforementioned error in x'.
Train #1 is known to be moving relative to the station at +v.
Train #2 is known to be moving relative to train #1 at -v.

It is not proof. Physical results can never be proven; they can

The Large Hadron Collider already has a problem in
that it is assuming that a 7 TeV proton zooming around
a ring of 27km circumference takes 89 microseconds.
27km/89microseconds = c, give or take.

Since sqrt(7TeV / (1/2)(938MeV)) = 122 they should be zipping around
taking 730 nanoseconds.

Since there's talk of a Very Large Hadron Collider with a ring of
at least 100 km and a beam energy of 87.5 TeV, somebody's doing
some interesting things here with grant money.

This can't possibly be an unknown problem; the Bevatron had 6.3 GeV
protons back in the 1950's -- well above the lightspeed proton (Newtonian)
energy of (1/2)(938 MeV) = 469 MeV.

Why are we building bigger and bigger proton accelerators/synchrotrons?
Why would we need to?

I should note here that the Texas Superconducting
Supercollider is an illustration of total idiocy unrelated
to its theoretical beam parameters. It would have had a
circumference of 54 miles or 87 km -- and reportedly would
have cost less to *mothball* than to abort construction,
which is what Congress did. This is not to say that every
bevatron, synchrotron, and accelerator is stuffed with
graft, but this one had some major management problems
which were unrelated to the actual science.

Yes, I agree. However, I am not concerned with HOW Al arrived at his
time dilation I only wanted to show that it was wrong. I did this by
showing that his time dilation was inconsistent in that a moving clock
had to keep BOTH proper time and slower time SIMULTANEOUSLY -- a
reductio ad absurdom.

Also it violate observation (empiricism) in as much as astronomers
observe clocks in the sky every night -- and the time rates are
different.

I also show that Doppler time, when applied to the Twin Paradox,
dissolves it completely and once and for all.

I firmly believe this is a significant contribution to relativistic
physics.

What is sad is the quality of the responses on this NG. These poor
Do-Do's just do not have a clue. If the quality of physics was in their
hands it would be a disaster. It's bad enough as it is.

Blackbody/thermal radiation. AFAIK such generates a continuous

A small section of the spectrum in the blue-violet (?) region is

If it travels 62 miles in 2.2 usec, that makes for a
velocity of about 150c, Newtonian, and an energy of
1.189 TeV.

The observed energy is barely 1/500th of that.

The best I can do is refer you to various measurements,
probably on the website http://physics.nist.gov somewhere,
indicating precisely how this derivation was carried out.

http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?mmuc2mev

indicates the current energy equivalent of the muon,
which is presumably fraudulent according to your theory;
the actual value should be more along the lines of 200 keV -- about
2/5 that of an electron:

http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?mec2mev

This of course plays merry hob with other observations relating to muons
substituting for electrons in hydrogen atoms (until they decay).

Prove what? That there's massive fraud in the LHC?
That the scientists are deluding themselves with the
measurements of the muon at 6 GeV instead of 3/4-1.1 TeV?
That a muon at rest is 105 MeV instead of 200 keV?
That time dilation occurs? That Newtonian energy is 1/2

These relations can't be taken in consideration because they can't be
dedused from the
Lorentz transformation. This happens because the square root of the
Loretz transformation is placed on the denominator, and it dictates a
ban for considering these relations as beeing the inverse relations of
the former relations. This is the same a stange thing.

We know how. Newtonian methods are not used, that stupid gamma

when they hit. Never mind they are really traveling faster than c.

Ah, you want the mass of the muon. Well, that should be obvious. It's
200,000 eV * 1.602176462*10^-19 J/eV / (299792458^2) = 3.57 * 10^-31 kg.
(Granted, the conventional mass is 1.884 * 10^-28 kg. But the
conventional mass is obviously wrong since it is inconsistent with the
kinetic energy of a sea-level muon. This new value allows for
superluminal muons formed at 100 km and 2 GeV. Congratulations.

Note that there are some discrepancies with the new mass regarding
such things as cloud chamber measurements, but additional work can
probably be done in that area. I'll leave that to you.)

No data. At best, it's retreaded ground (the muon is occasionally used
in attempts to prove time dilation). At worst, it's completely meaningless.

Newtonian energy is distance multiplied by force. If a constant force
be applied to an object, the acceleration of that object is of course
F/m. The velocity of a constant acceleration is at = (F/m)t; the position
is then 1/2 a t^2 = 1/2 (F/m) t^2 by simple integration.
Because F is constant KE=1/2 (F/m) t^2 (F) = 1/2 (F^2/m)t^2.
Since v = (F/m)t one can express this as

KE = 1/2 (F^2/m^2) mt^2 = 1/2 m (v^2)

and the theorem is proved.

Actually, we are traveling *beyond* lightspeed in the frame of the muon,
in case it hasn't occurred to you. As for Earth being 4.551 Gy, that
I'll have to leave to more competent sorts such as those at
http://www.talkorigins.org; U-238 and other such dating converge on that
point, roughly.

Of course they can be deduced from the transformation.
Look, this is the transformation:
{ x' = ( x - v t ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ t' = ( t - v x /c^2) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
from which you get
{ Dx' = ( Dx - v Dt ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt' = ( Dt - v Dx /c^2) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) .
For events satisfying Dx = 0 the last equation gives
Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

Solving the system for Dx and Dt gives
{ Dx = ( Dx' + v Dt' ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt = ( Dt' + v Dx' /c^2) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
For events satisfying Dx' = 0 the last equation gives
Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

So you see that the equations can be deduced from the
transformation.

Now you can try to make the exercise again:
If you take the equations together and write


{ Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) ,

about which events are you talking and what
can they represent physically?
And how is this reflected purely by the equations?

All forces act between TWO or more bodies. There is no such animal as a
constant force producing constant acceleration. The nearest you'll get is
two

exhaust gases reduce the mass of the rocket, a comet experiences a
changing accleration as it nears or recedes from the sun.
There are no constant forces producing constant acceleration.

| Because F is constant KE=1/2 (F/m) t^2 (F) = 1/2 (F^2/m)t^2.
| Since v = (F/m)t one can express this as

|

Conventional wisdom of Algol is that it is about 92.8 lightyears distant.
The parallax for this distance would be about
3*10^11 / (92.8*9.4605*10^15) = 341.71 nanoradians or 70
milliarcseconds. This should be possible to resolve using array
radioastronomy techniques.

As you wish. The force is applied by a device attached to the Earth,
with a pull-cord of some sort. The mass is a frictionless cart.

Depends on the throttling on the rocket. The Shuttle in particular has
to step down its throttle during its flight in the troposphere.

Solid fuel rockets have a "star" pattern, which burns into a circle;
this is less controllable but it still allows for the lessening of
thrust, as the fuel lessens in mass.

I will also refer you to the Tsiolkovsky Equation, which is easily
derivable from momentum considerations:

v_f = v_i + v_e * log(M_i/M_f)

Not for an infinite timeperiod, no. This is for a finite timeperiod.

YES, You are a cretin.

I don't care how well the second is defined, the definition of the metre is
circular.
Allow to repeat what I said.


Now it is totally circular, you cannot measure the speed of light in meters
per second because the meter is ct.

So even if the speed of light (relative to the source) is 300,000 fingernail
widths
per second, my fingernails become one metre wide. This measurement can be
done
anywhere.

That doesn't prove Algol is eclipsed for 10 hours in every 70 hours
by an imaginary huge dark object taking up about a radian of it's 2 pi
radian orbit.
You like doing numbers so much, the separation of the dark object and
the star has to be less than 4.56 radii of the larger of the pair.
Given our KNOWLEDGE of Roche limits, it simply isn't possible.

However, because you enjoy numbers so much, I invite you to
calculate the doppler shift one expects to find from Algol and compare
it with known data. You may reasonably assume that Algol
is the same size as our sun for the purpose of this demonstration
of incompetence, either yours or the astronomers. Feel free to use
92.8 light years or whatever it is.

That's an approximation. Another approximation is 300,000 km/sec.
If you insist on being pedantic, be consistently pedantic.

Let's get back to the main point at the commencement of the discussion
and the thread title, "TIME DILATION"

xi = x' * gamma
tau = t /gamma

gamma = 1, not 1/(1-v^2/0^2), and gamma is even more superfluous than
the luminiferous aether.
Are we agreed?

Dork Van de merde is a shithead.

Exactly.

Once and for all. The faster a rod travels, the shorter is the distance
between any two points. The sorter the distance, the less the
distance/time (velocity). The distance is always less than the proper
distance -- and the OBSERVED velocity is always less than the Proper
(or actual) velocity.

I don't thik so, let take the basic relations of the Lorentz
transformation.
x'=(x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) (1).
t'=(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).......(2)
which are the relations for obtaining the x' and t' on the train when
we know t and x on the railway, and the inverse relations then will be:
x=(x'+vt')/sqrt(i-v^2/c^2) ...........(3)
t=(t'+vx')/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)........(4)
Making the t=t2-t1 in relation (2) we'll obtain t'2-t'1 if x=cons. so
we,ll have:

Dt'=t'2-t'1=(t2-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)-(t1-vx/c^2)/qsrt)1-v^2/c^2)=(t2-t1)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
or,
Dt'=Dt/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) ..........(5) and in a similar way from
the relation (4),
Dt=Dt'/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)................(6).
If you like to get the inverse relations from the relations (5) and
(6) this is not permited, because such relations can't be obtain from
the Lorentz transformation. For that I said that here must be a ban to
not do such mistakes. Now if you repeatedly aply the relations (5) and
(6) you will obtain unlogical results which will grow as long as you
repeat the calculation. This is one of the reasons wy I concluded that
the Lorentz transformation is erronate mathematical relation. Another
way to show that the Lorentz transformation is mistaken is. if you in
the relations (2) and (4) make x and x' to take avery big value you
will obtain some very big jumps of the time t in the future and t' in
the past.

of course this is permitted.
If A = B/C then A C = B.
Where did you learn algebra?

There is no mistake in writing the equations the way I did.

If you really understand the meaning of the variables, then
there is nothing to repeatedly apply and no mistake to make.

> This is one of the reasons wy I concluded that
> the Lorentz transformation is erronate mathematical relation.

The reason is that you have missed an essential part, namely
the meaning of the variables.

So again, you can try to make the exercise:


If you take the equations together and write

{ Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for Dx' = 0
{ Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for Dx = 0 ,


about which events are you talking and what
can they represent physically?
And how is this reflected purely by the equations?

and in order to make it easier for you, I will write the
equations in your preferred form:


If you take the equations together and write

{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for Dx' = 0
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for Dx = 0 ,


about which events are you talking and what
can they represent physically?

When assuming the speed of light postulate, then the time dilation can
be derived in for example one of these two ways:
(1) http://www.peterchristensen.eu/phys/pics/TimeDilation.gif
(2) http://www.peterchristensen.eu/phys/pics/TimeDilation2.gif

About (1): First the frame (A) is at rest, so that it takes the light
t_A =2*h/c to travel from the source and back to the detector. Frame B
is moving with the velocity v. The light is moving along the line l,
and because of the speed-of-light-postulate, it does so with the speed
c. This means, that t_B = 2*l/c. The rest is just geometry, l^2 = h^2 +
(t_B*v/2)^2, and to solve the equations shown on the figure. In frame A
the time for the light to return to the detector is t_A, and in frame B
it is t_B = gamma*t_A. This means Time Dilation with a factor of gamma.

About (2): Just another way to derive the same result. In frame B, the
light will be travelling with an 'effective velocity' of only c_B =
Sqrt[c^2-v^2] while travelling the distance 2*h. -Because the light
doesn't go directly in the y-direction from source to mirror and then
back to the detector. This method gives the same result, but maybe it
is a bit more confusing than the first method. -Again the result is a
time dilation in frame B, because t_B = gamma*t_A just as before.

I wrote the relations of the Lorentz transformation noted with 1) 2) 3)
and 4). I consider that these relations are valid and for the
description of the motion of a material body with a mass (m) and the
coordinates x in the coordinate system let say K atached to the
railways and the coordinate x' in the coordinate system K' atached to
the train. The t and t' are zero when the two coordinate systems are
superposed. When we know the coordinates x and t we can calculate x'
and t' with the relations 1) and 2). The invers passing we can do with
the relations 3) and 4). So we can conclude tha the relations 1) and 2)
are the inverse relations to the relations 3) and 4) and not 1) with 3)
or 2) with 4).
That is why we can't do the changes with Dt and Dt'.

That is correct. The speed of light can now never be measured; it is by

length that light travels in 1 second. Entirely, completely, and

Fraud is also defined by criminal statutes. A district attorney, such

interested in the specific charges -- and the punishments required
thereby -- than dictionary definitions.

Correct. There is no proof here. NIST measured, possibly

I was referring to system-to-Earth distance, not component distance.

The period of Algol A and B is 2.87 days or 248000 seconds, give or
take. Since its semimajor axis is given as 0.00218 arc-seconds,
or 10.569 nanoradians, and its distance as 92.8 light years,
one gets 10.569 * 92.8 nanolightyears or 31 light-seconds. In
more conventional terms that's 0.062 AU. Assuming a circular orbit
that's a path of 0.3884 AU every 248000 seconds, or 235 km/s
or 7.84 * 10^-4 c.

If we observe a sodium line in still space at 570 nm, the shift
caused by this orbital motion should be on the order of 0.447 nm,
regardless of which theory one employs.

So we have the equations
{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx' = 0
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx = 0 ,
which is of course fully equivalent with

{ Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx' = 0
{ Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx = 0 ,
just like
A/B = C
is, provided B <> 0, fully equivalent with
A C = B.

So now you see that a set of equations are valid for events
with both Dx' = 0 and Dx = 0.
From one of the original equations


Dx' = ( Dx - v Dt ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

you see that this implies that
Dt = 0
From the other original equation
Dx = ( Dx' + v Dt' ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
you see that this implies that
Dt' = 0.

So you see that the equations

{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

are only valid if
Dx = Dt = Dx' = Dt' = 0

And therefore you *can* indeed like you say,
"repeatedly apply the relations (5) and (6)" and make
in mistakes. You see, the relations


{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

{ Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
are *only* valid for events that satisfy
Dt = Dt' = 0,
so they all say the same thing:
0 = 0 / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
0 = 0 sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
which is of course just
0 = 0.

For numeric example, suppose
v = 0.5
Event_1 : ( t, x, y, z ) = ( 3, 5, 7, 2 )
Event_2 : ( t, x, y, z ) = ( 3, 5, 4, 3 )
You have
( Dt, Dx, Dy, Dz ) = ( 0, 0, -3, 1 )
Use the transformation equations to find
( Dt', Dx', Dy', Dz' ) = ( 0, 0, -3, 1 )
and you see that indeed all the equations


{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

{ Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
just reduce to
0 = 0
and no error is made when one "repeatedly applies them"

So we have the equations


{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx' = 0
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx = 0 ,
which is of course fully equivalent with

{ Dt' = Dt sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx' = 0
{ Dt = Dt' sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) for events with Dx = 0 ,
just like

A = B / C
is, provided C <> 0, fully equivalent with
B = A C

So now you see that a set of equations are valid for events
with both Dx' = 0 and Dx = 0.
From one of the original equations

Dx' = ( Dx - v Dt ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

you see that this implies that
Dt = 0
From the other original equation
Dx = ( Dx' + v Dt' ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
you see that this implies that
Dt' = 0.

So you see that the equations


{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

are only valid if
Dx = Dt = Dx' = Dt' = 0

And therefore you *can* indeed like you say,
"repeatedly apply the relations (5) and (6)" and make

{ Dt = Dt' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
{ Dt' = Dt / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

Einstein developed certain astronomical theories and discovered that they
were not consistent with observation. Instead of abandoning the theories, he
deliberately fabricated observations from the theories so that he could
claim that the observations prove the validity of his theories. In every
scientific or scholarly setting known, this practice is called fraud, and it

I could be diamond, I suppose. Probably is, we like "probably".

I doubt it has been cut yet, but we'll make a fortune from the chips alone.

I have an axiom, 1+1 = 2, which is is not (1+1)/(1 + [1*1] /1^2 ) = 1
as Einstein's theory claims.
When I employ that axiom to light, c+v, I get the light curve of Algol.

http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Algol/Algol.htm

I also get a beat frequency from Sagnac.

By the way, while I wait for your reply to my yesterday's
message (the one with Dt = Dt' = 0, remember), ... you say
we can't combine (1) with (3) or (2) with (4).

Look, from your numbered equations below we have:
x' = (x-v t) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) (1).
t' = (t-v x/c^2) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).......(2)
x = (x'+v t') / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) ...........(3)
t = (t'+v x'/c^2) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)........(4)


Write (1) and (3) as
g = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
x' = g ( x - v t ) (1).
x = g ( x' + v t' ) (3).
put (3) in (1) and you get:
x' = g ( g ( x' + v t' ) - v t )
<==> x' = g^2 x' + g^2 v t' - g v t
<==> x' ( 1 - g^2 ) = g v ( g t' - t )
<==> x' ( 1 - 1/(1-v^2/c^2) ) = g v ( g t' - t )
<==> x' ( - v^2/c^2 / (1-v^2/c^2) ) = g v ( g t' - t )
<==> - x' v^2/c^2 g^2 = g v ( g t' - t )
<==> - g v x' / c^2 = g t' - t
<==> t = g t' + g v /c^2 x'
<==> t = g ( t' + v x' / c^2 )
<==> t = ( t' + v x' / c^2 ) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
which is your equation (4)
Magic? No, just algebra. Okay?
Exercises below.

Likewise, you can take *any* two equations from the system
(1), (2), (3), (4), and simply deduce the remaining two equations.

Exercise_1: what happens when you combine (2) and (4)?
Exercise_2: what happens when you combine (1) and (4)?

Perhaps. I've never met him personally.

Radar can measure velocity and position, to a certain accuracy.
However, for Algol I'd probably use parallax.

One would have to work out the transport problem first. It is, after
all, quite a distance. It may or may not be 92.8 light years, but it's
definitely farther than the Voyager probes.

How would you expect it to work? Take two points A and B some
distance apart and a third point O representing one's eyeball
or telescope. The lines OA and OB describe an angle. That
angle defines similar triangles, depending on the distance (roughly)
between O and A (or between O and B). There are of course some
issues if AB is not nearly perpendicular to OA and OB; usually
it's not a major problem.

You'll need Earth-Algol and angular deviation to measure periastron
and apastron of the orbit. Given those one can compute semimajor
axis.

That's where parallax comes in.

As you wish. A parsec is the distance from Earth such that
the observed parallax is 2/3600th of a degree (2 seconds).

No, it does not! Light travels at a variable speed, in the
theory you are apparently using. Even if one is measuring
from an unmoving source, if the temperature of that source
is nonzero one will expect a variance. For a star that
variance will be about a few hundred to a few thousand m/s.

I get it from the literature. I do not state it is correct; I have no
method of proving it correct. (Nor does anyone else; one can merely
show evidence that it might be correct.)

In any event, your computation is incorrect; the angle
given is not the parallax of the center-of-mass as observed
from Earth during a 6-month gap, but the (maximum) angle
of the two stars as observed from Earth.

I have none; this is a theoretical calculation only.

OK, so what is your computation for the distance of Algol's
center-of-mass from Sol? Or are you going to stick with
your ~500 parsec distance?

Sagnac and V 1493 Aql will do very nicely.

At best that tells you where a point of light is, nothing more, and

Would you stop being so practical? I'm trying to build castles in the air
here the way Einstein did. I don't care about mundane details like
transport,
I want greedy investors. Let's make the promise, get the money in and worry
about transport later. We can always spend it and die before the transport
is sorted.

I said supposedly. Anyway, the entire distance is length contracted
in the theory you are using.

Even if one is measuring
| from an unmoving source,

Algol and Sol are zipping along through empty space going around
the galaxy together, source and observer are both moving. That's
why we need Archangel Michelson to help measure the distance,
it is length contracted. c is c in empty space, independent of the
motion of Algol, remember?

A piffling detail. "light is always propagated in empty space with a
definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the
emitting body." Einstein said so. It's a POSTULATE.

"Every child at school knows, or believes he knows, that this propagation
takes place in straight lines with a velocity c = 300,000 km./sec. At all
events we know with great exactness that this velocity is the same for all
colours, because if this were not the case, the minimum of emission would
not be observed simultaneously for different colours during the eclipse of a
fixed star by its dark neighbour." --- SEE? Einstein said so:

http://www.bartleby.com/173/7.html

"Great exactness". Fucking great bullshit, I'm not a child at school.

He wrote that in 1920, SEVEN YEARS after Sagnac showed a different result.

Have you ever studied the spectrum of a recurrent nova?

http://www.astroman.fsnet.co.uk/novaql.htm

You can see with great exactness the broadening of the spectral lines
which is with great exactness what one would expect for multiple speeds
of light.

Do you?
38 thou is a large gap for spark plug, and you are NOT going to

That is bullshit, man. Fraud. Cooking the books.

I'm honest: I don't know and I won't guess. I'll use the best
estimate available, apparent magnitude. It's 30 parsecs, +/- 20
and that is as close as I can honestly provide. If you have better
data I'll examine it, but I'm certainly not taking 98.4 LY or whatever
you claim.

and nothing but the troll.
He takes his cue from Roberts, who says

That is disgusting, it shows the mentality of a cretin who gets involved

OK. Write a paper and submit it to _Nature_. That's about all that's

OK, so your business plan is to build a faster-than-light transport that

Who says we can't see Algol? It's quite visible; it was
called the Demon Star or some such long ago. I wouldn't
want to measure the parallax to the Dark Object, of course,
but measuring parallax to the star system is easy enough,
in theory.

c is not c in empty space; it cannot *be* c in empty space.
It is c+v, where v is a spread of velocities (v_rms = sqrt(3kt/m)).

This is obvious to anyone who understands hot gas.

Only in SR and GR. Since these theories are clearly
fraudulent (by your logic) one has to fall back on
Newton/Galileo, unless you want to explore Wilsonian speed
decay, Savain's lattice, or Kenseto's E-matrix.

This is not physics. This is at best an information transmission

than my pontifications. (You have measured the Demon Star, I take it.)

|
| Not really. We've found planets by measuring starwobble.

Algol wobbles, that's how I found planet Androcles.
The thing is Algol is a little further away so the wobble can't be seen
directly, you have to work it out from the light curve. It would have
to wobble anyway if it had a Wilson Cool Heavy for a companion.
That guy is enough to make me wobble. delta-Cepheus wobbles too,
it has planet Cassandra, because Cassandra spoke truth but was
not believed. Polaris has Wendy, named for my daughter. All stars
revolve around Polaris, or at least seem to.

Correct, but we can't see the solid diamond "Wilson Cool Heavy"
that eclipses it for 10 hours in every 70.
Or maybe it just an ordinary jovian planet a bit further away... Nah..
its gotta be a big diamond up real close.

The galaxy is rotating. Algol has to be moving anyway if it has a companion.
Since the aether is an absolute frame of reference but doesn't exist
we'll have to length contract the distance to Algol as per MMX.

Einstein understood hot air, he was full of it. So do the sheople, they
can all bleat to one tune.

What I will say about it is that the velocity of light in a medium is
affected and space is cold next to the hot gas, so there is a gradient
between photosphere and the space beyond, both temperature and
pressure. Molecules form and fall back under the star's gravity.
Some escape, of course, that's the solar wind.
That shell severely limits the light velocity spread, but the velocity
relative to the observer of the star as a whole is not limited.

What you describe gives rise to the continuous spectrum, the shell
is where absorption takes place

No thanks, I'll stick with Newton and Galileo. I like their logic.
Wilson's entire unification theory is based on his modelling all orbits
edge on rather than tilted. The old chap is getting past it, I'm afraid.
He doesn't realise he's lose all doppler shift with that idea.
The other two are just dingbats.

It's a giant MMX, you need length contraction and time dilation to make the
velocity of light c again because the star is moving at 235 km/sec, you
said.


"Every child at school knows, or believes he knows, that this propagation

takes place in straight lines with a velocity c = 300,000 km./sec.", not
c = 300,235 km/sec. Change the distance, change the angle.

Well, at least you've stopped being sarcastic. I'm still a little
tongue-in-cheek.


Of course not, I used your faked data.

Why would *I* want to do so? It's your fame.

No. In any event you have yet to submit experimental
results consistent with the hypothesis. So far, as far
as I can tell, your hypothesis/results are that:

- ground level muons are measured at 2 GeV
- they are created 100 km up
- therefore, muons are 200 keV at rest
- and are superluminal

Muons are reasily enough created in the lab, and can be
measured therein. The third should be easy to verify.

The second will probably require a balloon and an
instrumentation package.

As for the fourth, you'll probably need to build a particle
accelerator and try to accelerate a particle. The LHC,
Bevatron, and a few other accelerators all have the same
fundamental problem: they make the assumption that their
beam bunches are slower than lightspeed. This can be
attributed either to Einstein's theory (the traditional
explanation) or to the simple fact of brehmsstrahlung,
or synchrotron radiation, leaking away sufficient energy
to slow down the particle. I don't know, and have not
computed the latter.

That statement was redundant by its obviousness. You are not a
mathematician, either. See, even a car speedometer reads distance/time,
and 100km/2.2 usec = 15* speed of photons. That's a little difficult
to grasp, but you'll get there slowly. Now say "baaa" like a good sheep.

Doesn't quite work that way. 1 eV is the charge of 1 electron moving
through a field difference of 1 volt. This is a unit of energy.

But never mind, this isn't real physics anyway. All I'm doing is
parroting The Establishment(tm). So we'll see how this goes.

> Why are you trying to hoodwink me into thinking charge is energy?
> Isn't it time you wised up?

In Establishment Physics(tm),
1 eV = 1.602176462 ± 0.000000063* 10^-19 Joule
A Joule is a unit of energy -- 1 kg uniformly accelerated,
as much as possible, over a time of 1 second with 1 Newton
of force.

Unless you had a different unit of energy in mind, such
as a BTU, calorie, or horsepower-minute. I'd have to look
up the conversion factors.

If muons are created 600 meters up, why are they detected at 41000 feet?

OK, lessee. eV is a unit of charge. I'll record that for your benefit.
This means, of course, that a neutron is charged a little more than a proton,
since a proton has a charge of 938.2 MeV, and a neutron 939.5 MeV.

And of course an electron has a charge of 0.511 MeV --
1/1836th of a proton. This means that a carbon nucleus
actually has about 22,000 electrons whizzing around it in
order to neutralise the charge.

Interesting chemistry you've got there.

Will you make up your mind? Either they're superluminal, or they're
not.

Ah, so we're postulating two entirely different particles. Interesting!

Maybe not, but someone had better tell the LHC it won't work with its
present parameters.

Of course not. But you are. It's obvious by the many theoretical
papers you have submitted to that well-known journal:

Ok :-)
Just wondered if you knew. So 2,000,000,000 V, 100,000 metres,

20,000 Volts per metre.

My TV has more than 50,000 Volts per metre.
I expect if I let some air in I'd have some some lightning.

Still, I would expect a photon to have a limiting velocity
in a TV tube.

Incidentally, do you know what we mean by escape velocity?

Forget that crap, let's get down to some real physics.
I don't give a shit about the units you use, let's talk about what
they mean.

You can figure out the mass of my car in eV because you know
the conversion factors, so you should be able to give me the
diffraction angle as it passes under a bridge, right? You can probably
tell me how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, too.

The point is, why do you assume an electron or muon even has mass?
And if they do not have mass, why can't they outrace a photon?
Photons have no mass, right?

|

It's all relative, even distance.
Muons can't travel more than 660 metres because they have mass, you say so
and you can measure it, they travel slower than 300,000 km/sec because
Einstein said so, hence wherever you detect one it must have originated
no more than 660 metres away. But then, they are slower than photons
so we'll say 600 metres to be on the safe side.
This is PHYSICS, not math or logic, and "proof" is completely irrelevant. --
Tom Roberts.

Proof is irrelevant so we can assume anything we like, and that is
the word of the shithead that has his name on the relativity FAQs.

All the prat really wants to do is be the bigoted snob he is, he refuses to
answer challenges. He'll tell you to _STUDY_ and then shrug.

Isn't it time you wised up and realized these paper pushers never produce
anything of value?
Oh wait... you are a bean counter too. You can tell me the mass of an
electron
because you can look it up and you know a conversion factor, never mind
if it has mass or not. How the heck does anyone use mathematics to
investigate fundamental particles if proof doesn't matter and properties
are assumed?
Beyond pushing a calculator button, can you actually THINK about
such things as mass and charge and diffraction and what they might mean?

| Will you make up your mind? Either they're superluminal, or they're
| not.

Will you make up your mind? Either a photon has mass or it doesn't.
If it doesn't, why should its path be bent in a gravitational field?

See, I'm trying to investigate what mass is, but that moron Einstein
was trying to make a name for himself, he's the prat that convinced
you all fundamental particles are slower than light.
Roberts is just like him.
The distance a muon travels is less than 660 metres to the detector
because Einstein said so, and proof is completely irrelevant.
So when it travels 100km to the detector it must be time dilated,
I can change my mind as it suits me at the time, just like anyone
else among these shitheads.
The poor students come in here looking for answers and people
like you and Roberts bleat the same baaa because you don't think.
I'm trying to get you to think, I WANT you to argue with me until
we actually reach agreement. I know you can do it, you have the
intelligence.

This is really simple.
1) Muons travel 100 km in 2.2 usec, speed 150 * photons.
2) Speed cannot exceed speed of photon, therefore time dilation.
3) tau = t / gamma
4) xi = x' * gamma
5) The speed of the Earth in the muon's FoR is u = xi/tau
6) u = x' * gamma / (tau/gamma)
7) Who really cares what the speed of the Earth is in the muon's FoR?
8) Proof is completely irrelevant, this is PHYSICS.

How on Earth is anyone going to study fundamental particles using
mathematics if they cannot make up their mind what fundamental
concepts such as distance, speed and proof are?
All that happens is argument, never progress.

Ah, so AQL1493 *disproves* SR/GR and thereby *proves* Newtonian theory?

I might buy the first, though it would have to be convincing evidence,
tied together with other observations from other stars that show a
similar disproof of SR/GR. Proving Newtonian theory has the same
problems as proving any theory: one can at best show evidence therefore,
but not prove it except in a highly theoretical sense. For now, the
question of AQL1493's behavior remains unresolved because of lack of data.

Bear also in mind that many atomic and subatomic experiments show
fairly convincing evidence for SR, and specifications such as those
for the Large Hadron Collider assume SR, for whatever reason.

This includes lab muon creation.

And then there are interesting neutron star pairs which show good
evidence for general relativity. One such is PSR J0737-3039.

http://www.atnf.csiro.au/news/press/neutron_binary/

I'm satisfied that SR is for the most part mathematically consistent.
I lack the tools to check GR because I do not know tensors. Newtonian
theory has some problems, especially in light of the MMX, though I'll
have to find some data on pointing an MMX apparatus at a *moving*
source; MMX pointing at a still source cannot differentiate between
SR and frictionless aether theory (or for that matter constant-source
non-aether theory, if you prefer).

However, I can also point at a rather sophisticated GR experiment that
involved bouncing radio waves off Venus. Or:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity

B. Bertotti, L. Iess and P. Tortora, "A test of general relativity using
radio links with the Cassini spacecraft", Nature 425, 374 (2003)

is one that might interest you. There is also the LATOR mission:

Turyshev, Slava G.; Shao, Michael; Nordtvedt Jr, Kenneth (2003-11-07)
In Classical and Quantum Gravity 21 2773 (2004)

which is presumably an improvement over

K. Nordtvedt, Testing relativity with laser ranging to the moon",
Phys. Rev." 170 1186-7 (1968).

The moon generates plenty of "light" in the gamma wavelengths -- more

For what it's worth.

One cannot prove using a mathematical paper. You should know; your
attempts are laughable. All I can do is point out at evidence, which
for whatever reason you're either ignoring or have already analyzed in
detail (incorrectly, I might add, in many cases -- I'll admittedly have
to look for them but Dirk has some of them on file).

Ah, of course. I'm the prejudiced one here, and you're not.

Well, there is something to that; I've been prejudiced by our
educational system and my brain has been ruined by reading
various news releases and the occasional textbook. Of course,
you appear to be prejudiced against SR. Why is that?

Is it because:

- you refuse to consider that t' != t?
- you refuse to consider that w != (u+v)?
- you refuse to consider that c' = c?

V 1493 Aql does, yes. Not that you would understand what a proof is,
since your mentality is to read Dork Van de merde's shit and approve
of his crap.
So just go on believing the firefly blows up twice in three months,
Santa puts prezzies under your tree, the tooth fairy gives you
money and Jesus wants you for a sunbeam.
http://www.gospelmusic.org.uk/kids/ill_be_a_sunbeam.htm
You'd probably make quite a good sunbeam for about 5 seconds.
Pray for your kinetic energy in going around the sun to be removed
so that you drop in the sun and Jesus can have his wish.
As you say, you are not a physicist.


| I might buy the first, though it would have to be convincing evidence,

Nonsense. Nothing can overcome faith or bigotry. You do not have
what it takes to be convinced. Try convincing the Pope that Jesus
was not born of a virgin. The best you can manage is "How do you
know he wasn't?" and I'm damned if I'm going to argue the case
with you. How do you know your calculator won't come up with
2+2= 3 tomorrow?
I give up with you, shithead.

Jesus want you for a sunbeam. The behaviour of dropping 180 lbs of water,
carbon, calcium and trace elements into the sun remains unresolved because
of lack of data so I don't know if you'll be a UV bright sunbeam
or an ordinary green one, still wet behind the ears.

I will not bear it in mind because SR is shit, like you. I've explained why.

Does it?

Probably more than a firefly.

Dork is between a rock and a hard place. Had he the balls to
correct my "error" he'd have been trapped by his own shit
just as Tusselad was when I had him claim

"That is, we can reverse the directions of the frames
which is the same as interchanging the frames,
which - as I have told you a LOT of times,
OBVIOUSLY will lead to the transform:
t = (tau-xi*v/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
x = (xi - v*tau)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
or:
tau = (t+xv/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
xi = (x + vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)" -Paul B. Andersen

The genius passes himself off as "Assistant Professor".
Not that you would understand at your level of algebra, but
v = xi/tau. That's too subtle for you.

I don't give a fuck what Dork has on file. I've got a file on Dork,
a file on Roberts, a file on Baez, a file on Bilewacky, a file on Phuckwit
Duck, a file on Bilge... need I go on?
The difference is I don't continually tout it, I'm interested
in physics, not shitheads.
You've got no evidence or brain either. You are just another ignorant
bigot.

Correct. You are the bigot, not I.

Considered and rejected, leads to well-known paradox.

Yes. Vector addition of velocities is an axiom.

| - you refuse to consider that c' = c?

No, v can be zero, but c = 0/0 in SR.

Of course, you appear to be prejudiced in favour of SR. Why is that?

Is it because:

- you prefer to believe w = (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2) because you have your
head up your arse and (1+15)/(1+1*15/1^2) = 1 and not 1+15 = 16?

With some help from section 3, of course, which uses t = x'/(c-v)
and not t = x' / [ (c-v)/(1-v/c) ] to be consistent, shithead.

I'm not Dirk. :-P

But OK.

http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/

is handy and you're here, so...

K is stationary, with coordinates (t,x,y,z).
k is moving v with respect to K, with coordinates (tau,xi,eta,zeta).
K' is moving -v with respect to k, with coordinates (t',x',y',z').

In other words, K is the tracks, k a moving train, and K'
a person moving with respect to the train. Or, if you
prefer, since you seem to like them, K is marshy ground,
k a green flying elephant, and K' a turtle on top of
that elephant.

Therefore xi-x' = xi-x, by the logic given in the paper.

In the 6th paragraph, however, the paper states:

If we place x'=x-vt, it is clear that a point at rest in the system
k must have a system of values x', y, z, independent of time. We
first define $\tau$ as a function of x', y, z, and t. To do this we
have to express in equations that tau is nothing else than the
summary of the data of clocks at rest in system k, which have been
synchronized according to the rule given in § 1.

This is an unfortunate state of affairs but is generally not a major
problem; basically x' has two definitions in the same section. In
that case xi-x' = xi-(x-vt).

So which one do you prefer?
