I was busy preparing video editing work I had promised someone. This

Another reason I didn't post the Lorentz transform derivation according
to Einstein is that you adopted a defensive attitude which is logically
untenable and leading nowhere. It goes something like this:

1. Let's say I post a detailed examination of Einstein's derivation of
the Lorentz transform from the tau-equation.

2. Your response is going to be: "I'm not interested in YOUR
derivation, I'm interested in EINSTEIN'S derivation!" In other words,
you are going to dismiss any argument explaining Einstein's work merely
on the basis of using different *English words*. For some reason the
difference between a THEORY and a mere DESCRIPTION of such escapes you.
Or perhaps it's an intentional debating tactics on your part.

What I find interesting, BTW, is that Einstein's derivation of the
Lorentz transform has several gaps in it (as well as one instance of
certain notational sloppiness) which were NEVER addressed by any of the
resident armchair relativity critics here. My guess is they never read
Einstein's paper with any sort of understanding and promptly get stuck
on some silly irrelevancy they trumpet on this bboard to high heaven.
If I post a detailed explanation of Einstein's derivation I shall
highlight those gaps (they are not important gaps, of course, as
Einstein was writing his paper for professionals, but they are worth
pointing out to students).

YOU have never read Einstein's paper with any understanding, and
central to that derivation is
稼tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
,

I've sent the edited DVDs out so I have more time now for a bit of fun.
So let me start by stating clearly my understanding of what it is I'm
supposed to do.

-------------------------------------------
I'll prove by *merely going over Einstein's own argument in more
detail* that the "tau-equation" together with the usual assumptions
(Einstein's two postulates, the clock synchronisation definition, etc.)
plus the assumption of transform linearity IMPLIES that the transform
is of the Lorentz type:

tau = phi(v)beta(v)(t - xv/c^2)
xi = phi(v)beta(v)(x - vt)
eta = phi(v)y
zeta = phi(v)z

...where phi(v) is a velocity-dependent constant still to be
determined, and:

beta(v) = 1/sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)
-------------------------------------------

Am I correct in assuming that this is your objection?

Well, it does come from it. So what is it you claim is incorrect then?

(You did claim before that the Lorentz transform could not be derived
from the tau-equation, that's why I assumed that's what your objection

Above is the tau equation I refer to.
Consider:
Light (or a turtle, makes no difference) is emitted from the
caboose of a train, reflects at the engine and returns to the caboose.
Einstein's equation says it will travel the length of the train and back
again, and will reflect at the engine at tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))

But now we do it this way.
Light is emitted from the engine, reflects at the caboose and
returns to the engine.
The time of reflection at the caboose is now tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c PLUS v))
Diagramatically,
(fixed font needed).

We establish by definition that the "time" required by light to travel
from C to D equals the "time" it requires to travel from D to C'.

Distance between mirrors is x'

Einstein's equation:

稼tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))

What it means in the diagram:

稼tau(A,t)+tau(A',t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(B,t+x'/(c-v))
稼tau(C,t)+tau(C',t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(D,t+x'/(c PLUS v))

So the time at B, the engine, equals the time at D, the caboose,
but it doesn't. Ergo Einstein was a phuckwit.

Stop repeating childish crap. If you have trouble understanding
something - ask. Your belittling Einstein is just so dumb. And your
belief in a high-school-level mistake being undetected already by any
random 1905 physics grad student (let alone Einstein, let alone any old
Annalen der Physik reviewer) is just too dumb for words.

There is no "clock sync" of the moving system, fool!
Time in the moving system (tau) can *supposedly* be different to time
in the stationary system (t), but it can't be different to itself!
You've got tau, you've got t. That's it.

You are hopelessly confused. Your equations:

> > ½[tau(C,t)+tau(C',t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(D,t+x'/(c PLUS v))

simply follow from the clock synchronisation in the moving system.
There is nothing contradictory about them although you wrote them a bit
sketchily. Written out explicitly they are:

1/2(tau(0,0,0,t) + tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))) =
tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))

1/2(tau(x',0,0,t) + tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))) =
tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c+v))

Nothing wrong with them.

Who says it's different than itself? You begin with two systems:
stationary (K) using t for time and moving (k) using tau for time. Both
agree to synchronise their clocks according to the Einstein convention.
We simply seek the formula relating tau (and xi, eta, zeta) to x,y,z,t.

Put some numbers in, then.
c = 5 cars a second (32 car train, each car is 60 metres).
v = 3 = 0.6c
x' = 32 cars, the train length won't change by tomorrow, x' is
independent of time.
t = midnight = 0

1/2[tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(0,0,0,16+4)] = tau(32,0,0,16)
1/2[tau(32,0,0,0) + tau(32,0,0,20)] = tau(0,0,0,4)

I gave you the diagram.
Still nothing wrong, or are you still infinitely stupid?

This does:
tau(32,0,0,16) the time at the engine is 16 microseconds past midnight.
tau(0,0,0,4) the time at the caboose is 4 microseconds past midnight.

Run the train in reverse at midnight tomorrow night.
tau(0,0,0,16) the time at the caboose is 16 microseconds past midnight.
tau(32,0,0,4) the time at the engine is 4 microseconds past midnight.

You've said my equations are correct.
It follows from these results that you are infintiely stupid.

Want to put the cuckoo transformation in?

tau = (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
tau(32,0,0,16) = ?
tau(0,0,0,4) = ?

Go ahead, stupid, make it work and prove tau is a linear function,
because I don't know how. Show me.

You forget the third system, x',y,z,t with x', an end point in the
moving system independent of time which is not xi and not 0.

It is not zero because that would make
1/2(tau(0,0,0,t) + tau(0,0,0,t+0/(c-v)+0/(c+v))) =
1/2(tau(0,0,0,t) + tau(0,0,0,t)) = tau(0,0,0,t) which is trivially true,
half of nothing is nothing.

It is not xi because
x'/xi = sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) not equal 1 (unless v = 0, again a triviality)

Yet if we accelerate the separation between xi and x' increases.
This is the cuckoo length "contraction", and
for x' = 0, xi = 0 at any velocity,
for v = c, xi = x'/sqrt(1-1) = undefined.
For v = 0.866c, xi = 2x' and your stupidity is doubled.

Being infinitely stupid this will not trouble you, because
to you it's interesting - what are the limits of withstanding blatant
contradictions (infinite, OBVIOUSLY).

The tau in the first line is a different function than the tau in the
two lines that follow. Remember that the first tau is a function of
(x,y,z,t), the two other tau are functions of (x',y,z,t), where
x'=x-vt.

So let's write the first tau in terms of (x',y,z,t) which is what the
numbers were given in (I'm using gamma for 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)):

tau = gamma(t-vx/c^2) = gamma(t - v(x'+vt)/c^2)

Now we can plug in your numbers. In your case gamma = 1.25, v=3, c=5.
The two other tau are:

tau(32,0,0,16) = 1.25 * (16 - 3(32+3*16)/25) = 8
tau(0,0,0,4) = 1.25 * (4 - 3(0+3*4)/25) = 3.2

(assuming I didn't make a numerical mistake somewhere).

This function tau can be rewritten as:

tau = Ax' + Bt

where:

A = -v/(c*sqrt(c^2-v^2))
B = sqrt(c^2-v^2)/c

...are constant (because v = const.), i.e. tau is a linear function of
(x',y,z,t).

No, I remembered it but wanted to start with the clear setup of what it

| According to the stationary clock at that spot.

See what I mean? Infinitely stupid.
I have no idea what stationary clock you are talking about
or what spot you are talking about.
But, one step at a time. Let's deal with the stationary spot first.
That's 80, the engine moved from spot 32 at speed 3 for 16 time.
32+ 3*16 = 80.

Does 80 appear in either equation?
No.
Did anyone put a stationary clock at 80?
No.
Is there a "stationary" clock on the engine?
No; there is a clock that moves with the engine.

What are the limits of Bile awski's stupidity? Infinite.
Fuck off, cunt.

Perhaps that's your problem. What you don't understand is not
automatically stupid, you know. I meant the stationary clock the engine
is passing when that clock shows 16 microseconds. At this instant the
clock *on* the engine shows tau(32,0,0,16) microseconds.

You now switched coordinates - now you are talking about x, not x'. The
coordinate x' is always 32 at the engine. Changing from (x',y,z,t) to
(x,y,z,t) changes the function tau.

Of course not, the equation is for tau(x'y'z't), not for tau(x,y,z,t).

Aha, I think I see what your problem is. You keep insisting on using an
extra (*third*) set of moving clocks. This (redundant) system of clocks
moves together with the moving clocks but is not Einstein-synchronised.
Instead, at each moment such clock displays the same time as the
stationary clock that just happens to momentarily coincide with it:

x'=x-vt
y=y
z=z
t=t

If you prefer I can use this system although it's unecessary and
Einstein doesn't use it. If we both agree to use this extra system then
some of our differences are merely terminological.

Be it as it may, you still haven't produced the promised contradiction
in the tau equation and the derivation of the Lorentz transform from
it.

But it *is* the part of the equation - except this fact is obscured in
your view by using the third system of clocks. But the connection
between the stationary and moving clocks is the heart of the matter:
tau(32,0,0,16) is the time read by the moving clock on the engine at
the instant it passes the *stationary* clock which displays 16 at that
very moment. You express the same idea by introducing instead the third
system of moving clocks which are synced up to agree with the
stationary clocks.

Let's call this third system of clocks "x'-clocks". Then I could say
the same thing like so: "tau(32,0,0,16) is the time read by the moving
clock on the engine at the instant the moving x'-clock at the same spot
displays t=16".

Still no error in sight.

> (rhetorical question, you are too stupid to answer sensibly.)

All your questions are very easy. The most complex portion by far of
preparing my postings is the proofreading.

That's because I use only two systems of clocks: the stationary t and
the moving tau. The x'-clocks you use on top of those are not incorrect
but they are unecessary and they complicate the trminology. But I'm
willing to use this system, no problem.

Well, so we agree.

Clocks are everywhere. That's how the time coordinate is assigned to
events.

On the contrary, it's 100% relevant because the tau equation is an
expression of a constraint *between* the stationary clocks (you
introduce the third redundant moving x'-clock system for the same
thing) and the standard moving tau-clocks. (By "standard" I mean
Einstein-synchronised.)

Back to square one then. We agreed on the terminology and I can use the
x'-clocks (although they are an unecessary burden) but you still
haven't produced the promised error in the tau equation and in the
derivation of the Lorentz transform from it.

There you go, you've successfully transformed a stationary
system of coordinates K to a moving system of coordinates k.
Well done!
Now, why do you want to transform a moving system of coordinates
k to a fake redundant moving system of coordinates kappa
by multiplying by some fake redundant gamma?
Was it to deliberately confuse yourself?

| If you prefer I can use this system although it's unecessary and

I'd prefer you used it. IN FACT, Einstein depends on it but tries
to hide it, hoping to sweep it under the carpet. It's the magician's
trick
of misdirection, the legs of the other girl on the box he saws in half.
Did you really think Einstein can saw a woman in half? He's
much better than David Copperfield, isn't he? Lots of smoke, mirrors
out in the open where you can see them... brilliant! Pity it's not
physics.
Then again, we don't really want the girl in the box injured, do we?
We just want to leave the theatre, having paid our MONEY, amazed
at Einstein's magic, right?

| If we both agree to use this extra system then
| some of our differences are merely terminological.

I agree to use it. Shall we give it a name? Part of the psychology
of hiding things is not to name them. Once you give it a name people
will remember it. Einstein doesn't want you to remember it. That's why
x' doesn't appear in the cuckoo transformations, and the other girl
in the box who's feet you see that is sawn in half never appears on
the stage. It would ruin the illusion if she did.
Let's call it k', shall we? That's an easy name to remember.
Now we have a transformation from stationary K to moving k',
x' = x-vt
y' = y
z' = z
t' = t

and a magical transformation from the moving k' to the moving kappa,

xi = x'/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
eta = y'
zeta = z'
tau = t' * sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)

Well.... almost. Better to divide instead of multiply, it's more
confusing.
Let's see now...
tau = t' * sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)
= t' * (1-v^2/c^2) / sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)
= (t' - t'v^2/c^2) / sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)
Ooops... two terms with t' in them.
Well.... v = x/t, so we can get rid of one
= (t' - t'* (x/t) * v /c^2) / sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)
And t' = t, we want to hide that...

= (t - xv /c^2) / sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)

Hide the x', so we write x-vt instead.
Voila!
Behold the cuckoo transformations, we've sawn the girl in half.

xi = (x-vt) /sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
tau = (t-vx/c^2) /sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

Nobody will notice how that was done!

I do admire the guy, he was the greatest huckster in history.
But.... 100 years is enough, joke's over.

So yes, I'd prefer we used it, if only to be decent and honest.

1/2 mass(treetop, apple+cherry) = mass(ground, apple)
is an example of the contradiction.
The mass of an apple is independent of height.

Then there is this one:
V = (c+v)/(1+v/c) = c (composition of velocities, section 5 )

Substituting c+v for it's value,

稼tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+2x'/c)] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/c)

Now derive the cuckoo transformations from that.

The domain of the function tau is k', not K.

PHUCKWIT! Einstein obscured the real clocks.

Yep. They read the same time and are independent of motion.

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

Careful avoidance of x',y',z',t'. Careful not to NAME the SECOND frame.
Name k as the third. The misdirection of the master magician and
huckster.
What you do NOT say is as important as what you do say, ask any
politician.


| tau(32,0,0,16) is the time read by the moving clock on the engine at

Yep. The ray reaches the engine when the engine is at 80, stationary
frame. The engine is ALWAYS at 32, moving frame.
Coordinate 32 (x'), moving frame k', is independent of time.

The time for a turtle to travel from the caboose to the engine (16
hours) equals the time for the turtle to travel from the engine to the
caboose (16 hours), IFF the turtle is on the train. True or false?
If the turtle is on the track he'll never make it to the engine, the
caboose will leave the turtle.
Just because light is faster than a turtle doesn't change the algebra,
and velocity doesn't change time.

Very good. There is no difference in time for the one way
speed of light or the one way speed of a turtle.
16 seconds from caboose to engine.
16 seconds from station to point 80 on the track.
Still no error is sight.
Now send the turtle back again. What time does it reach the caboose
and what time does it reach the station? Are these the same events?

Yes, I know. That's why the correct clocks to use are the x'-clocks.

Ah, but what event, the turtle arriving at the caboose, or the turtle

16 hours to get back to the caboose (0',0',0',16'), but it will take
much
longer to walk home (0,0,0,400) if you take it for a ride.
That's why I don't like the 1/2.

You are repeating yourself. I did NOT introduce

must have a system of values x', y, z, independent of time", that was
Albert Huckster Einstein.
All I'm doing is pointing it out and you've agreed to use it.

The time for a turtle to go from caboose to engine is the time from
engine to caboose, but the time to go from the station to the engine is
different to the time
to go from the engine to the station, the turtle hitched a ride.

The setup is that there are two observers (called "stationary" and
"moving", or K and k) and each uses clocks synchronised by the Einstein
convention. We seek tau(x,y,z,t) which is a function giving the reading
of the moving (k) clock at the instant it is at K's coordinate (x,y,z)
AND K's clock at that instant at that same spot reads t. None of this
is "fake".

Why "redundant" all of a sudden? Why "fake"? We do discuss the tau
equation and how the Lorentz follows from it, don't we? Has the subject
changed again? Of course they are not Newton-synchronised. I thought we
were discussing SR, not Newtonian mechanics.

How are they "fake"? If you have problem with even setting up the
Einstein synchronisation on the moving clocks then say so. I thought
your beef was with the derivation of the Lorentz from the tau equation.
IOW, we take the tau equation as given.

A moving system, yes. Not the k one - that one uses clocks synchronised
differently and it is this synchronisation we are interested in.

Because of the way the whole SR premise is set up: you have two systems
in inertial motion wrt one another, both using identical procedure to
set up their clocks and you want to express one set of coordinates in
terms of the other.

It turns out that the coordinate relationship is the Lorentz one.

Nonsense. He doesn't "try to hide" anything and the whole x' business
isn't really necessary, it only makes the notation cleaner.

Whatever gave you that idea? He clearly defines x' and then uses it
right and left for two pages straight almost.

> That's why

Well, of course it doesn't - the goal is to find the relation between
(x,y,z,t) and (xi,eta,zeta,tau). Einstein introduced a third system
(x',y,z,t) only for convenience: to make the tau equation and the
subsequent derivation shorter.

The last equation is incorrect. We haven't done the derivation yet but
the correct expression for tau comes from the tau equation:

tau = (t' - (x'+vt')v/c^2) / sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)

The rest of your derivation of the "cuckoo" is therefore incorrect.

How about skipping metaphors and finally telling us all what's wrong
with saying that:

b - a = c - b

implies

2*b = a+c

or

These equations are wrong. The relevant elapsed times as measured by k'
are x'/(c-v) and x'/(c+v), not x'/c.

The auxiliary tau - yes. Not the tau we *really* are after. You confuse
yourself with using the same letter tau to denote two different
functions:

tau(x,y,z,t) -- the one we are really after,

and:

tau(x',y,z,t) -- an auxiliary.

> The tau transformation is from the moving frame to the moving frame.

There is velocity involved in *the difference between clock
synchronisation* between k' and k. The two systems are at rest with
respect to one another but they use clocks synchronised differently and
that difference has v built into it. Remember that "frame" is not just
the spatial coordinates, it also involves the clocks (the time
coordinate).

It reaches the caboose at (x',y,z,t)=(0,0,0,20) and at time
tau(0,0,0,20) according to the moving k (tau) clocks. If by station you
mean the location (x,y,z)=(0,0,0) then the light reaches it later, 12
seconds after it passed the caboose according to K.

That was never a disagreement, I thought. It simply never ocurred to me

this is OK, it's not incorrect, just a bit sophomoric.

The caboose. And what's up with the turtle? Where did the light go? Do
turtles know how to bounce off mirrors?

But the tau equation records the time of arrival at the caboose, not at
the station. Note that caboose=(x',y,z)=(0,0,0) while
station=(x,y,z)=(0,0,0).

If by "turtle" you mean "light" then according to the station (K) or k'
clocks these times are equal.

The half follows from the following:

1. system K (stationary) synchronises its clocks according to Einstein,
2. system k (moving) synchronises its clocks according to Einstein,
3. system k' (moving) synchronises its clocks so they agree with K
clocks.
4. The Einstein synchronisation in K and in k implies that light in
both satisfies the condition that it takes the same time to go from A
to B as from B to A. In particular, in the moving system k:

time(reflection) - time(emission) = time(absorption) -
time(reflection)

or

2*time(reflection) = time(emission) + time(absorption)

or

time(reflection) = 1/2*(time(emission) + time(absorption))

Hence 1/2.

Huh??? Unless you misspoke, this instantly invalidates everything you
say because it violates the entire basic premise and experimental
setup of Einstein's paper.

Because this function is easier to work with (less printer's ink used)
than tau(x,y,z,t). And once tau(x',y,z,t) is derived, it's very easy to
switch back to what you really want, namely tau(x,y,z,t). It's net
savings. For example, the tau equation expressed directly in terms of
(x,y,z,t) would have read:

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,t) + tau(vx/(c-v)+vx/(c+v),0,0,t+x/(c-v)+x/(c+v)) =
tau(x+vx/(c-v)),0,0,t+x/(c-v))

...a somewhat messier (although equivalent) form compared to
Einstein's.

This equation would yield a slightly different constraint for
infinitesimal x than "the x' version":

@tau/@x * c^2 + @tau/@t * v = 0

which would eventually lead to tau(x,y,z,t)=beta(v)phi(v)(t-xv/c^2) -
exactly as before, except x' would have never been introduced or
mentioned.

But you have to define what "a copy clock" is. Again, that's the heart
of the theory. The whole point of relativity was to examine carefully
assumptions of that sort and make them explicit so they don't get swept
under the rug.

Not sure what you mean. Even done any algebra? Ever introduced
temporary expressions to save some computation effort here and there?

No, there is no x' here at all, only (x,y,z,t) is used throughout. So
the first slot is for x. On the left hand side we have the emission and
the absorption events. These take place at the caboose which moves at v
with respect to the stationary system K.

We assume that at time t the caboose is at the origin of K and that the
mirror is at x (that it, x units of K system to the right of the
origin).

Then the time it takes for light to reach the mirror according to the
system K is the usual expression x/(c-v). The time for light to travel
from the mirror back to the caboose is x/(c+v). So the total light
travel time is:

x/(c-v) + x/(c+v)

During this time the caboose moved away from the origin of K by the
distance:

velocity * light travel time = v * (x/(c-v) + x/(c+v)) =
= vx/(c-v) + vx/(c+v)

...hence the appearance of this quantity on the LHS inside the
absorption event at the caboose.

Similar consideration applies to the RHS which records the reflection:

light travel time = x/(c-v)

caboose x coordinate at that instant = velocity * light travel time =
= v * x/(c-v) = vx/(c-v)

thus the engine x coordinate = x + caboose x coordinate =
= x + vx/(c-v)

> No wonder you can't understand relativity, you can't even substitute
> x' = x-vt correctly.

I am not using any x' here. Just writing the Einstein sync relationship
(aka. the tau equation) in terms of (x,y,z,t).

> Whoever tried to teach you basic algebra was
> having a very hard and unsuccessful time.
> Hint:
> x+vx = x(1+v)

I have no "x+vx" anywhere. Perhaps I should have been more explicit
with my parentheses. When I wrote on the RHS:

x+vx/(c-v)

I meant:

x+[vx/(c-v)]

I also noticed I have a typo there - one unpaired parenthesis. The
equation should read then:

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,t) + tau(vx/(c-v)+vx/(c+v),0,0,t+x/(c-v)+x/(c+v)) =
tau(x+[vx/(c-v)],0,0,t+x/(c-v))

> x+vx is equivalent to x-vt, is it?

So there is no "x+vx" (the units would be wrong for a start).

I was talking about my equation. My point was that the whole x'
business was introduced by Einstein only for convenience. Then to
support this claim I said that in fact one could have done the entire
derivation without ever referring to x'. Which is what I did - I wrote
the tau equatiion in terms of (x,y,z,t), NOT (x',y,z,t).

That's why the first slot is always x in the expression *I* wrote.

> [...]

Einstein uses (x',y,z,t) to refer to events, I used straight (x,y,z,t)
for the same purpose. One event referred by two different coordinate
systems.

That is, the K2 fills its Roche lobe completely, and mass
is transferred to the B8. So the K2 IS torn apart and there
is an accretion disk around the B8 akin to the rings of Saturn.
(This accretion disk is not stable, though. It is a transient
disk; the mass transferred from the K2 bounces off the surface

You really must brush up on your reading comprehension skills. All I
was saying was that x' was not an essential part of Einstein's argument
but only a convenience. In fact - so I kept pontificating - one could
repeat Einstein's argument almost verbatim without *ever* referring to
the (x',y,z,t) system. And I provided a hint how to do it by writing
Einstein's tau equation in terms of (x,y,z,t) only:

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,t) + tau(vx/(c-v)+vx/(c+v),0,0,t+x/(c-v)+x/(c+v)) =
tau(x+[vx/(c-v)],0,0,t+x/(c-v))

Non sequitur. If you claim X than you must be ready to hear arguments
against X. If those arguments against X happen to be equations - so be
it.

In this case the counterargument consisted of demonstrating that x' was
*in principle* unnecessary. The very extistence of such equation
(doesn't matter who wrote it) disproves your claim that x' is essential
- that's the point.

As I said in my previous post we can stop debating this tangential
issue and go back to using x' and simply follow Einstein's derivation
of the Lorentz transform which is your main objection on this thread.

JanPB says...

[stuff deleted]

Androcles is a strange case. He has convinced himself
that Einstein made a mistake in his derivation of the
Lorentz transformations, and he will not even *listen*
to a counterargument. His reasoning is that any
counterargument, if it goes beyond what Einstein said
doesn't count as *Einstein's* argument, it counts as
Jan's argument or Daryl's argument, or whoever. And
Androcles has no interest in the arguments of anyone
but Einstein.

Maybe there is a certain sense in which Androcles
is right. Einstein's argument is a failure in the
sense that it fails to persuade Androcles. And for
Androcles, that's the only standard for success that
counts.

You should have x=32, not 80 in the numerator:

x/(c-v) = 32/(5-3) = 16

Remember that (x,y,z,t) in the tau equation express a relationship
between the light emission, reflection, and absorption in terms of
*initial position of the mirror* in the stationary system K.

(It's exactly the same with Einstein's tau equation except the
x'-coordinates of the caboose and the engine do not change with time so
his version is shorter. For example, he can keep 0 for the first slot
in both the emission and the absorption at the caboose whereas I had to
switch from 0 (emission) to vx/(c-v)+vx/(c+v) (absorption) there.)

Using your numbers t=0, x=32 (and y=z=0).

Perhaps it would have been better to denote these by (x0, y0, z0, t0)
but using (x,y,z,t) this way is the standard abuse of notation in order
to avoid excessive pedantry. I also wanted to mimic Einstein's own
abuse of notation here where he has (x',y,z,t) instead of the more
pedantic (x0', y0, z0, t0).

In the (x,y,z,t) coordinates the three events are:

emission at the caboose: (0,0,0,0)
reflection at the engine: (32+3*16,0,0,0+16) = (80,0,0,16)
absorption at the caboose: (3*16+3*4,0,0,16+4) = (60,0,0,20)

...so this version of the tau equation is:

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(60,0,0,20)) = tau(80,0,0,16)

This tau equation just says that according to the moving clocks it took
as much time for the light to go from the caboose to the mirror as it
took to go back:

tau(80,0,0,16) - tau(0,0,0,0) = tau(60,0,0,20) - tau(80,0,0,16)

When you collect the terms you get the 1/2.

Well, isn't the point of the whole derivation to find out the
relationship between the stationary coordinates and the moving
coordinates? The tau equation is just *a* relationship between the two,
expressed in terms of the yet unkown function tau(x,y,z,t).

This equation is forced on us by the assumption of clock
synchronisation and it is not obvious at first that this constraint is
useful and strong enough to allow us to derive that relationship (the
transform) but it turns out that it is (assuming the transform we seek
is linear, i.e. of the form:

tau(x,y,z,t) = Ax + By + Cz + Dt

...where A, B, C, D are constants, plus the usual assumptions regarding
the symmetry of space).

If you want to continue with Einstein's way of deriving things perhaps
it would be better to switch back to his slightly different function
tau(x',y,z,t) and his version of the tau equation so we don't talk
about two slightly different points of view at the same time.

My only point for writing exclusively in terms of (x,y,z,t) and
(xi,eta,zeta,tau) was to mention that the third system (x',y,z,t) is
not *in principle* important and the derivation is 95% identical
without it. Of course (x',y,z,t) is what Einstein uses and one cannot
just remove it without making that 5% change.

Of course, and you have only stationary coordinates.
You are missing the moving coordinates entirely.
So what if it takes a turtle 16 seconds to go from 0 to 80 at speed 5

Still, if you think 20/2 = 16 you are as crazy as Hammond <shrug>

I don't quite see why you ask such an obvious question be here it goes
anyway:

Starting with:

tau(80,0,0,16) - tau(0,0,0,0) = tau(60,0,0,20) - tau(80,0,0,16)

Move tau(80,0,0,16) to the left and tau(0,0,0,0) to the right:

2 * tau(80,0,0,16) = tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(60,0,0,20)

Divide by 2:

tau(80,0,0,16) = 1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(60,0,0,20))

This is it.

Not sure why you say that - the tau equation refers to selected
coordinate quantities from *both* systems: (x,y,z,t) and
(xi,eta,zeta,tau).

The 16 and 4 seconds are times as measured by the stationary clocks
(t). The corresponding readings by the clocks sitting on the train
(tau) are different than those t-readings and they are equal in both
directions.

Could you back it up. I simply stated the starting point of the

No, I can write both derivations side by side and the differences are

Of course you're not. You're a phuckwit.

x= 80

Yes ducky, and the moving train has fuck-all to do with that.

There is no moving train in your equation. It doesn't exist.
No sign of it anywhere.
Light leaves 0, goes to 80, takes 16 seconds.
Light leaves 80, goes to 60, takes 4 seconds.
No train involved.

| > Crap. You have no idea what you are babbling about.
|
| Could you back it up. I simply stated the starting point of the

No you didn't. You gave track coordinates and track time.
The train is in the siding, not moving on the track.
Light leaves 0, goes to 80, takes 16 seconds, velocity of light 5.
Light leaves 80, goes to 60, takes 5 seconds, velocity of light -5.

16/20 * [ f(0,0,0,0) + f(60,0,0, 80/5 + (60-80)/-5)] = f(80,0,0,16)
No train, f is linear, no half either.
f(t) = t

Here are some of the facts that I have recently picked up about Androcles.

Androcles does not like changes in notation. Specifically, Androcles does
not like the fact that we use x' to denote the variable that Einstein
denoted by \xi, and that we have no symbol for the variable that Einstein
denoted by x'. In fact, Androcles is so averse to the fact that we have
no symbol for the variable that Einstein denoted by x', that he will
pretend that x' is being simultaneously used to denote both variables
(our usage and Einstein's usage), and then use this to attempt to show a
contradiction in relativity (of course, this is very dishonest, but such
dishonesty on Androcles' part should not surprise) - and he is willing to
do this, even after being explicitly informed that we have no symbol for
the variable denoted by Einstein as x', and therefore that any such
pretence holds no water.

Androcles' persistent claim that mathematicians "can't count to three" is
because he is upset at the reduction of what were effectively Einstein's
three sets of coordinates ((x,y,z,t), (x',y,z,t), (\xi,\eta,\zeta,\tau),
in the notation that he used in his 1905 paper) to two sets of coordinates
((x,y,z,t), (x',y',z',t'), in the notation that we use now). He also
finds his slur about mathematicians not being able to count to three
useful, since he thinks he can keep repeating it like a mantra in spite of
anything that is said to him, and as a consequence, he thinks that it will
allow him to evade having to answer the hard questions. In other words,
he finds it easier to insult others than to answer questions, and so he
will continue to insult, rather than answer, no matter what anybody says
to him.

Androcles also has a strange attitude to the notation x'. He has, as much
as, said that x' is a notation for a function of x, and that the symbol 1'
denotes the value taken by x' when x = 1. This is in spite of being told,
more than once, that x' is the indivisible symbol for a variable, for
example, in a paragraph such as below:

:: x, y, z, and t are variables which take values in the real numbers
:: (such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 8.5, etc). x' is the symbol for ONE variable
:: (which is denoted by the entire string, x') which takes values in the
:: real numbers (such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 8.5, etc). 0', 1', 2', 3', 8.5', are
:: not known symbols for any numbers - they are just ordinary numbers with
:: primes attached to them for affectation. The equality x' = 1 means
:: something concrete (just as the equalities x = 1 and y = 1 mean
:: something concrete). The formula x' = 1' doesn't mean a thing since
:: nobody has ever told us what 1' represents. These considerations are
:: independent of anything that you could ever say about coordinate
:: systems.

Another thing that I have noticed is that Androcles expresses the
two-argument function f(x,t) = x-vt as a function of one argument alone
(i.e. he will write f(x) = x-vt without the least concern about the
nontrivial dependence of the right-hand side on t). He suggested that I
did not know what a frame or a function was. I gave the following
definition of function in response, along with the observation that his
mathematical education is probably too deficient for him to have seen such
a definition, and urging him to look it up before spewing venom in
response (advice which I have no doubt he ignored).

:: A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two distinct ordered
:: pairs have the same first component (i.e. a function f is a set of
:: ordered pairs such that for all x, y, z, if (x,y) and (x,z) are both
:: elements of f, then y = z; for any x in the domain of f (i.e. any x
:: which occurs in the first component of one of the elements of f), f(x)
:: is uniquely defined by the requirement that (x,f(x)) is an element of
:: f).

I have also noted that he has a strong impulse to automatically assume
that all functions are functions from R to R (i.e. he has a strong impulse
to assume that, for any function f, the domain of f is R and the range of
f is a subset of R). That not all functions are functions from R to R would
no doubt shock him.

As a consequence, he does not recognize the fact that a Lorentz
Transformation is a bijective function from R^4 to R^4 (as a function from
R^4 to R^4, a Lorentz Transformation is a four-component object, each
component of which is a real-valued function of four arguments). Further,
there is a function mapping (-c,c) to the space of Lorentz
Transformations, with the dependent variable v being treated as a
parameter of the Transformation.

I also specified that an inertial frame (in special relativity) is a
coordinate system in which inertial motion is represented by a linear
relationship between the coordinates.

It is of interest to go through the relevant part of Einstein's
derivation, just to see what is happening. This is not to show Androcles
what is happening, or for his benefit, since Androcles will just ignore
the reasoning here. The following is for independent intellectual
interest for those who actually use their brains for thinking.

After Einstein sets up his frames K (with coordinates (x,y,z,t)) and k
(with coordinates (\xi,\eta,\zeta,\tau)), he notes that a point which is
stationary in k has constant values for the variables x', y, z, where
x' = x-vt. Since x', y, z, t, are sufficient to determine a specific
event in spacetime, then \tau is expressible as a function of four
arguments, \tau(x',y,z,t), with dependence on an additional parameter v
(v is treated as a parameter, since v determines the relation between
frames K and k, i.e. as v changes, so does the frame k).

We can now take two clocks which are stationary relative to frame k, clock
1, for which x' = 0, y = 0, z = 0, for all time, and clock 2, for which
x' = X, y = 0, z = 0, for all time. If the clocks are showing time \tau,
then they are synchronized by the rule that Einstein gave in section 1.

Light leaves clock 1 at time t, relative to K, when clock 1 shows time
\tau_0, is reflected at clock 2, when clock 2 shows time \tau_1, and
returns to clock 1 when clock 1 shows time \tau_2. By the fact that the
clocks are stationary in frame k, and are synchronized in frame k, then
(\tau_0 + \tau_2)/2 = tau_1. Note that \tau_0 = \tau(0,0,0,t).

If X > 0, then the light is reflected at clock 2 at time t + X/(c-v),
relative to K.

This can be seen as follows: the light leaves clock 1 at x = vt, y = 0,
z = 0 at time t, and arrives at clock 2 at time t + T_1, for some T_1.
Since the light arrives at clock 2 at time t + T_1, then the coordinates
of clock 2 in K are x = vt + v T_1 + X, y = 0, z = 0, at that time.
Since light travels at speed c, then the coordinates are x = vt + c T_1,
y = 0, z = 0, at that time. It follows that v T_1 + X = c T_1, and
therefore that T_1 = X/(c-v).

It follows that \tau_1 = \tau(X,0,0,t + X/(c-v)).

By a similar argument, the light arrives back at clock 1 at time
t + X/(c-v) + X/(c+v), relative to K. It follows that
\tau_2 = \tau(0,0,0,t + X/(c-v) + X/(c+v)).

Since \tau_1 = (1/2) (\tau_0 + \tau_2), since the clocks are synchronized
in frame k, then

\tau(X,0,0,t + X/(c-v))

= (1/2) (\tau(0,0,0,t) + \tau(0,0,0,t + X/(c-v) + X/(c+v)).

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to X, and then set X = 0:

d\tau/dx' + (1/(c-v)) d\tau/dt = (1/2) (1/(c-v) + 1/(c+v)) d\tau/dt,

and so

d\tau/dx' = - (1/2) (1/(c-v) - 1/(c+v)) d\tau/dt = - v/(c^2-v^2) d\tau/dt.

On the other hand, if X < 0, then the light is reflected at clock 2 at
time t - X/(c+v), relative to K.

It follows that \tau_1 = \tau(X,0,0,t - X/(c+v)).

By a similar argument, the light arrives back at clock 1 at time
t - X/(c+v) - X/(c-v), relative to K. It follows that
\tau_2 = \tau(0,0,0,t - X/(c+v) - X/(c-v)).

Since \tau_1 = (1/2) (\tau_0 + \tau_2), since the clocks are synchronized
in frame k, then

\tau(X,0,0,t - X/(c+v))

= (1/2) (\tau(0,0,0,t) + \tau(0,0,0,t - X/(c+v) - X/(c-v)).

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to X, and then set X = 0:

d\tau/dx' - (1/(c+v)) d\tau/dt = - (1/2) (1/(c-v) + 1/(c+v)) d\tau/dt,

and so

d\tau/dx' = - (1/2) (1/(c-v) - 1/(c+v)) d\tau/dt = - v/(c^2-v^2) d\tau/dt.

In both cases, we reach the conclusion that

d\tau/dx' + (v/(c^2-v^2)) d\tau/dt = 0.

We now take the new case of two clocks which are stationary in frame k,
clock 1, for which x' = 0, y = 0, z = 0, for all time, and clock 2, for
which x' = 0, y = Y, z = 0, for all time. If the clocks are showing time
\tau, then they are synchronized by the rule that Einstein gave in section
1.

Light leaves clock 1 at time t, relative to K, when clock 1 shows time
\tau_0, is reflected at clock 2, when clock 2 shows time \tau_1, and
returns to clock 1 when clock 1 shows time \tau_2. By the fact that the
clocks are synchronized in frame k, then (\tau_0 + \tau_2)/2 = tau_1.
Note that \tau_0 = \tau(0,0,0,t).

If Y > 0, then the light is reflected at clock 2 at time
t + Y/sqrt(c^2-v^2), relative to K.

This can be seen as follows: the light leaves clock 1 at x = vt, y = 0,
z = 0 at time t, and arrives at clock 2 at time t + T_1, for some T_1.
Since the light arrives at clock 2 at time t + T_1, then the coordinates
of clock 2 in K are x = vt + v T_1, y = Y, z = 0, at that time.
Since light travels at speed c, then light travels a distance of c T_1 in
that time, and so c^2 T_1^2 = v^2 T_1^2 + Y^2, and so
T_1^2 = Y^2/(c^2-v^2).

It follows that \tau_1 = \tau(0,Y,0,t + Y/sqrt(c^2-v^2)).

By a similar argument, the light arrives back at clock 1 at time
t + 2 Y/sqrt(c^2-v^2, relative to K. It follows that
\tau_2 = \tau(0,0,0,t + 2 Y/sqrt(c^2-v^2)).

Since \tau_1 = (1/2) (\tau_0 + \tau_2), since the clocks are synchronized
in frame k, then

\tau(0,Y,0,t + Y/sqrt(c^2-v^2))

= (1/2) (\tau(0,0,0,t) + \tau(0,0,0,t + 2 Y/sqrt(c^2-v^2)).

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to Y, and then set Y = 0:

d\tau/dy + (1/sqrt(c^2-v^2)) d\tau/dt = (1/sqrt(c^2-v^2)) d\tau/dt,

and so d\tau/dy = 0.

Similarly, d\tau/dz = 0, and so

\tau(x',y,z,t) = f(t - (v/(c^2-v^2)) x'),

for some function f.

\tau is a linear function, by which is meant that \tau is a linear
function of its arguments - since the only requirement is a linear
relation between the coordinates of K and the coordinates of k, then there
is no requirement that \tau be a linear function of the parameter v, as
different values of v determine different values of the frame k. It
follows that

\tau = a (t - (v/(c^2-v^2)) x'),

for some constant a, whose value may depend on the parameter v, where for
the origin of k, \tau = 0 when t = 0.

If light propagates in the positive x-direction, so that x = ct, then
\xi = c \tau (assuming that the origin of K coincides with the origin of k
when \tau = 0). It follows that for such a light ray,

\xi = a c (t - (v/(c^2-v^2) x').

Since light travels at speed c in frame K, then

t = x'/(c-v),

and so

\xi = a (c^2/(c^2-v^2)) x'.

Since x', y,z, are constant for any object which is stationary in k, then
this is true for all values of \xi.

If light propagates in the positive \eta-direction from the origin in
frame k at time \tau = 0, then

\eta = c \tau = a c (t - (v/(c^2-v^2)) x').

Since light travels at speed c in frame K, then

x' = 0, y = sqrt(c^2-v^2) t,

so that x' = 0, t = y/sqrt(c^2-v^2), and so \eta = a c y/sqrt(c^2-v^2).
Since x', y, z, are constant for any object which is stationary in k, then
this is true for all values of \eta.

Similarly, \zeta = a c z/sqrt(c^2-v^2).

If we set \phi(v) = a/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), so that a = \phi(v) sqrt(1-v^2/c^2),
then

\tau = a (c^2 t - v x)/(c^2-v^2)

= \phi(v) (t - vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2),

\xi = \phi(v) (x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2),

\eta = \phi(v) y,

\zeta = \phi(v) z.

Since K is travelling at velocity -v in the \eta-direction, relative to k,
then

t = \phi(-v) (\tau + v \xi/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

= \phi(-v) \phi(v) t,

x = \phi(-v) (\xi + v \tau)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = \phi(-v) \phi(v) x,

y = \phi(-v) \eta = \phi(-v) \phi(v) y,

z = \phi(-v) \zeta = \phi(-v) \phi(v) z.

It follows that \phi(-v) \phi(v) = 1.

The interpretation of \phi(v) is now seen by taking a stationary rod of
length L in the frame k, between \xi = 0, \eta = 0, \zeta = 0, and
\xi = 0, \eta = L, \zeta = 0 (so that the rod is moving relative to K in a
direction perpendicular to itself). It follows that in frame K at time t,
the rod is between x = vt, y = 0, z = 0, and x = vt, y = L/\phi(v), z = 0,
and so the length of the rod relative to K is L/\phi(v). That is, if a
rod of rest length L is moving, relative to K, at speed v in a direction
perpendicular to itself, then its length in K is L/\phi(v). This result
is independent of what direction perpendicular to the rod that the rod is
travelling, so that L/\phi(v) = L/\phi(-v), so 1/\phi(v) = 1/\phi(-v),
and so \phi(v) = \phi(-v).

Since \phi(v) = \phi(-v) and \phi(v) \phi(-v) = 1 and \phi(v) is positive,
the \phi(v) = 1. It follows that

\tau = (t - v c/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2),

\xi = (x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2),

\eta = y,

\zeta = z.

Actually, Androcles does not understand the concept of
coordinates, so he has no chance of ever understanding
any of equations involving coordinates.
And alas, to make it even worse, he doesn't even grasp
the concept of "variables in equations" as he proves once
more right here:

Sometimes he pretends to be stupid on purpose, but even
that he can't properly manage. I honestly think it is a case
of clear cut brain rot.

Do you know the difference between:

(80,0,0,16)

and:

tau(80,0,0,16) ?

Define both.

Complete nonsense. The tau equation expresses a constraint between the
stationary coordinates and one moving coordinate (namely, tau). Without
either of those systems there is no tau equation.

The train clocks are involved. What do you think "tau" means in that
equation? I suppose you could get rid of the train and just assume the
clocks are levitating or something - that's fine with me. But the
mental picture of the train is a convenient shortcut.

Nope. The point is that these times (16 seconds and 4 seconds) are in
terms of the stationary clocks which is *not* what tau(...) are. They
are equal to certain *moving* clock readings. At the beginning of the
derivation we don't know these values - all we know at first is that
they are constrained by the tau equation. It turns out this constraint
is strong enough to produce the formula for these moving clock
readings.

> f(t) = t

Are you saying that:

tau(80,0,0,16) = 16
tau(0,0,0,0) = 0
tau(60,0,0,20)) = 20 ?

No, what I think is:

tau(80,0,0,16) = 1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(60,0,0,20))

...which is a *totally* different thing than "16 is half of 20 and 60


is half of 80".

It's interesting to me to see how far he can go with this. Right now we
are reduced to elementary arithmetic (b-a=c-b implying 2b=a+c) and
elements of functions. With a bit more work we'll get down to the
nitty-gritty of the empty set soon.

I think so too. (I mean I also think that he thinks that I think that
16 is half of 20 and 80 is half of 60.)

(80,0,0,16) -A vector (as long as the 16 doesn't represent time, which
is not a vector)
tau(80,0,0,16) - A single-valued function in four variables.

Examples of a vector:
(0,0,0,0) + (60,0,0,20) = (60,0,0,20)
2*(40,0,0,8) = (80,0,0,16)

Examples of a phuckwit: 2*(60,0,0,20) = (80,0,0,16)
2* (80,0,0,16) = (60,0,0,20)
Example of a single-valued function in 4 variables:
$20 = price(apple+orange+cherry,$16*retail/wholesale)

Do you know the difference between a phuckwit and a mathematician?
Define both. (Not possible for a phuckwit)

Without

Stationary coordinates:

Moving coordinates:

Reflection (32,0,0,16)
Reception (0,0,0,20)

You don't have a 32 anywhere.

v(x,y,z,t) = x/t
c(x,y,z,t) = x/t

v(32,0,0,16) = 32/16 = 2.
c(80,0,0,16) = 80/16 = 5.

Tell McCullough I'm taking careful note of what you say.

As of right now we are at:
Einstein:
稼tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
,

which is (with McCullough's choice of values,
c = 5,
v = 3,
x' = 32,
in FACT)

稼tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0, 32/2+32/8)] = tau(32,0,0,32/2) , or

稼tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(0,0,0,20)] = tau(32,0,0,16).

Bile-wacky:

稼tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(60,0,0,20)] = tau(80,0,0,16),

and I'm having all the fun (copy, paste, Google record).

So Androcles thinks that because Einstein defined the variable x' = x-vt
in his paper, then we should be stuck with that notation for all time.
How ridiculous. And the laughable thing about this is that Einstein
himself, in the very same paper, after he no longer needed x' to denote
the variable x' = x-vt, subsequently used x' to denote a completely
different variable. So, in effect, Einstein himself led the way when it
came to changing the meaning of x'.

True. And he obviously thinks that vulgarisms and insults are an art

off insults in an effort to hide his own inadequacies and ignorance of the

x' and \xi are not the same, \xi = x'/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) (unless
sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = 1)

The symbol \xi and the symbol x'?

Yes. Well done, the fuckwit McAnally might catch on in a year or two.

YES! It really is that trivial.
Unless sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = 1, as it must be since there is no relative

How ridiculous of McAnally to think there is some velocity between

Both equations are correct - they simply involve different functions -
both of which you denoted by the same symbol "tau".

Normally people don't use plugged-in numbers but general expressions of
the given variables so this type of purely notational confusion is
avoided.

(Incidentally, I had t=0 along with x=32, etc.)

Both equations are correct - they simply involve different functions.
You used the same symbol "tau" for two different things:

THING NUMBER ONE: tau(x',y,z,t)

THING NUMBER TWO: tau(x,y,z,t)

The first equation:

½[tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(0,0,0,20)] = tau(32,0,0,16)

...refers to tau(x',y,z,t).

The second equation:

½[tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(60,0,0,20)] = tau(80,0,0,16)

...refers to tau(x,y,z,t).

No, in fact they have just posted specifically stating the opposite.
Also, they'd be organically unable to say anything like you suggest
because they understand the material.

> you think it is x.

Whatever gave you that idea? In fact I spent last several posts
(including this one) doing exactly the opposite: explaining the
difference between the two uses of tau (namely, tau(x',y,z,t) and
tau(x,y,z,t)), explaining the difference between the systems (x',y,z,t)
and (x,y,z,t), between the clocks they use, and so on. How all this can
be misconstrued to mean its total opposite ("you think [x'] is x")
remains a mystery. Any takers?

That's just a generic definition. I meant physically, in this physical
setup with the light emitter, mirror, clocks, etc.

Correct.

Incorrect. Needless to say, I never wrote such a thing. Do you see the
difference between:

2* (80,0,0,16) = (60,0,0,20)

and:

2 * tau(80,0,0,16) = tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(60,0,0,20)

(Hint: the difference is huge, like night and day.)

Correct, except "moving" here means the (x',y,z,t) one, not the one we
are really after, namely (xi,eta,zeta,tau). In *that* moving system we
have (using the auxiliary moving coordinates as Einstein did it):

Emission: (xi(0,0,0,0),eta(0,0,0,0),zeta(0,0,0,0),tau(0,0,0,0))
Reflection:
(xi(32,0,0,16),eta(32,0,0,16),zeta(32,0,0,16),tau(32,0,0,16))
Reception: (xi(0,0,0,20),eta(0,0,0,20),zeta(0,0,0,20),tau(0,0,0,20))

I think you should go and reread Einstein's paper. If you don't know

Einstein has 3 systems, two of them are moving:

1. (x,y,z,t)
2. (x',y,z,t) - an auxiliary
3. (xi,eta,zeta,tau)

1 is stationary, 2 and 3 are moving identically but using differently
synchronised clocks. The goal of this part of Einstein's paper is to
find the transformation formula between 1 and 3.

These are not the values I was referring to. Here it is once again with
crayons:
At the beginning of the derivation we don't know the following values:

tau(32,0,0,16),
tau(0,0,0,20).

We do know that tau(0,0,0,0)=0 because that's how we set up the mirror
experiment. The only thing we know initially about tau(32,0,0,16) and
tau(0,0,0,20) is that they are some numbers which fit into the
following equation:

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(0,0,0,20)) = tau(32,0,0,16)

Of course to be able to derive the transform one needs the general
statement of this equation, not just some random plugged in numbers:

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(0,0,0,x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))) =
tau(x',0,0,x'/(c-v))

WOW. I don't think there is a point in continuing our discussion then.
Until you understand the *description* of Einstein's experimental setup
you have no moral right to complain about anything in that paper. It's
only fair.

No, he said:

tau(32,0,0,16) = 1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(0,0,0,20))

Anyway, as I said earlier - the two equations express a property of
*two different functions*, so naturally they are different. You gave
two different functions the same *name* and now are complaining about
some "contradiction".

Oh...
Physically.. hmmm...

Well, PHYSICALLY, x is measured along the ground, say from
LA (=0) to Berlin (=80), and x' (=32) is the length of the plane
from rudder( =0) to pilot (x') when it's on the ground at the
departure gate.
After take-off and when at cruising altitude
(I'm skipping acceleration down the runway, that's GR) ,
the flight attendant comes round with the drinks trolley,
but you are already "high" on cocaine or whatever is it you
fucked your brain up with, and if it's an old plane with a
projector she puts the movie on.
Now \xi is where the pilot sits, you are in seat x', for this reason:
the speed of light has to be 5 in all frames of reference!
So the plane stretches from 32(seat x') to 40, (seat \xi)
so that we on the ground see it length contracted, or it would look
funny. Now it takes t = 8 for the light to get from the projector
to the movie screen, where the pilot is, but we keep him up front
to mind the plane and not watch the movie (he's seen it before).
You have to be behind the screen where the light reflects back
to your eyes in seat x', and it also reaches the people in coach
at the back of the plane. So the round trip time of the light
on the plane is 16, as Einstein wants.
Proof:
\xi = x' /sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
= 32/0.8
= 40
8 * 5 = 40, which is 1/2 of 80, the distance from LA to Berlin.

\tau = t * sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
= 20 * 0.8
=16

You may have heard of metal fatigue in older planes,
because they stretch by SR whenever the movie is shown
and so new planes no longer have movie projectors, they
use TV screens instead.
When the front of the plane reaches Berlin, it stops,
but the back of the plane is still at 40, half-way to Berlin,
so it keeps going until the plane is 32 once again, which moves
your seat x' forward to the door and you can get off.

That's what happens physically. Showing the movie
stretches the plane to 40, but we on the ground see it length
contracted to 32.

Yes, I know.

So you do see yourself as a phuckwit, even though you didn't write that.
I must be getting good at psychiatry after all.

|

|
| (Hint: the difference is huge, like night and day.)

Hmm.... let's see if I can work it out myself... don't tell me, ok?


2*(80,0,0,16) = (160,0,0,32) which is not equal to (60,0,0,2)
so that is FALSE.


tau(60,0,0,20) is... err... according to the wacky transforms ...

tau(x,0,0,t) = (t - vx/c^2) /sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)

= (20 - 3*60/25)/sqrt(1- 9/25)
= (20-180/25)/sqrt(16/25)
= 12.8/0.8
= 16.

tau(0,0,0,0) = (0 - 3*0/25)/0.8
= 0

So tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(60,0,0,20) = 16.

2* tau(80,0,0,16) = 2* (16 - 3*80/25)/ 0.8
= 2* (16 - 9.6)/0.8
= 32

32 = 16.
So that is FALSE.

I see no difference between FALSE and FALSE.
Please tell me what the huge difference like night and day is.

Yes of course, we on the ground want to see the movie too,
smoke your wacky baccy and snort your cocaine.
Well, I don't. I've seen what does to your brain, but your
fellow relativists do.

Oh, are you going to fuck off at last, you that thinks x' is x?
Everybody knows x' is \xi, just ask McAnally or Dinky Van de phuckwit.
In YOUR eqution, tau is the time of the stationary system, in Einstein's
equation, tau is the time on the stretched 747. Boeing evn built
stretch 747s to try to overcome the SR stretching, but physics is
physics, the plane still stretches if you use a projector for the movie.
There is no way anyone can overcome the LAWS of physics.

http://www.bizjournals.com/wichita/stories/1999/12/06/daily13.html
"Boeing Co. is not finding any immediate interest from its customers for
a stretch version of its 747 jet"

See, it's automatically stretched by SR.

Trains with 32 boxcars get 40 boxcars when they travel at speed 3.

It's a fact that planes stretch when you show the movie, too.

It's also a fact that you are as crazy as George Hammond.

Yes, I know. I told you that. British Airways is doubling its fleet,
courtesy of SR.

Yes, now put your crayons away and your straight-jacket back on, go back
to your padded cell and come back when you've finished smoking that
weed.

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(0,0,0,20)) = tau(32,0,0,16)
tau(0,0,0,0) = 0

1/2*(0+tau(0,0,0,20)) = tau(32,0,0,16)


1/2*tau(0,0,0,20) = tau(32,0,0,16)

I've simplified it for you,

1/2*(tau(0,0,0,x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))) = tau(x',0,0,x'/(c-v))

The time in Berlin is what.. err ... 10 hours ahead of LA?

Well done, you've caught me in an error. Ok, the huckster Einstein

who stretches Boeing 747s in flight said

tau(32,0,0,16) = 1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(0,0,0,20))

which is not what the phuckwit Bile-wacky said, which is

tau(80,0,0,16) = 1/2*(tau(0,0,0,0) + tau(60,0,0,20))

| Both equations are correct - they simply involve different functions.
| You used the same symbol "tau" for two different things:

| THING NUMBER ONE: tau(x',y,z,t)

| THING NUMBER TWO: tau(x,y,z,t)

Why not change the names instead, if they a different functions?

THING NUMBER ONE: cuckoo(x',y,z,t)

THING NUMBER TWO: wacky(x,y,z,t)

Now it's clear.


The first equation:

絒cuckoo(0,0,0,0)+cuckoo(0,0,0,20)] = cuckoo(32,0,0,16)

...refers to cuckoo(x',y,z,t).

The second equation:

絒wacky(0,0,0,0)+wacky(60,0,0,20)] = wacky(80,0,0,16)

...refers to wacky(x,y,z,t).

My mistake, I meant to say just "I had t=0".

Changed your mind, have you?
Try not to dope the new up, it'll rot like the old one.


In fact I spent last several posts
(including this one) doing exactly the opposite: explaining the
difference between the two uses of tau (namely, tau(x',y,z,t) and
tau(x,y,z,t)), explaining the difference between the systems (x',y,z,t)
and (x,y,z,t), between the clocks they use, and so on. How all this can
be misconstrued to mean its total opposite ("you think [x'] is x")
remains a mystery. Any takers?

I doubt it, the sane ones are all laughing at you, the insane ones
are mumbling between themselves.
Wanna see it again?

Quite correct. You are learning.
If the primed system move in the negative x-direction,
the Lorentz transform is:


t' = (t+xv/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
x' = (x+vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

and the Galilean transform is:
t' = t
x' = x+vt

Yes indeed, very difficult.
32 is the time for light to go from 0 to 80 and back again at speed 5,
(80+80)/5 = 32.
Let us remember that Bile wacky is using
2 * tau(x = 80,0,0,t = 16)
and not
Eistein's tau(x' = 32,0,0, t= 16) = 16
So 2 * 8 = 32.
Get it now, or just slow to catch on?

Uh, no.
2*(16 - 9.6)/0.8

If you'd done the arithmetic correctly,

And in characteristic style, noble lord Dick[head] surreptitiously
snips the post that highlights his refractory incompetence and
recalcitrant ignorance, doesn't answer the school-boy question posed to
him, then finishes off with a quote-mining expedition of 3 year old
posts to see if he can misquote his way out of the inevitable derision
destined for his foul face.

Well noble lord dick[head], why don't you tell us what the metric
signature of ds^2 = d(ict)^2 + dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2 is?

hint: You can start by looking at the matrix which defines the tensor
elements of that metric:


[1, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 1, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 1, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 1]

hint2: they don't say it has (or 'can be considered to have') a
Euclidean metric unless this metric has positive-definite signature
(since noble lord dick[head], all Euclidean metrics are
positive-definite).

hint3:


http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MinkowskiSpace.html
"Minkowski space is a four-dimensional space possessing a Minkowski

Distance between mirrors is x'

Einstein's equation:

稼tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))

What it means in the diagram:

稼tau(C,t)+tau(C',t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(D,t+x'/(c PLUS v))

So the time at B, the engine, equals the time at D, the caboose,
but it doesn't. Ergo Einstein was a phuckwit.

...measured in the stationary units (that's a very important caveat).
BTW, you keep switching the names of the objects in the expewriment. So
far we had:

1. the light source and the mirror (that's in Einstein's paper),
2. the caboose and the engine,
3. the rudder and the pilot.

It would be nice if we could just stick to some fixed terminology.

The rest of your answer is hopelessly confused. For example, you write:

> [...]

This is completely wrong, you are mixing units now. What you wrote
above is exactly like saying that the temperature difference between LA
and Berlin is 70 because it is 90 degrees Fahrenheit in LA and 20
degrees Celsius in Berlin.

All I was asking was: what is the physical meaning of:

(80,0,0,16)

vs.

tau(80,0,0,16)

Hint number two: one is a specific event coordinate (location and
instant in time), the other is a time reading. What are they
specifically?

Yes, it is false. That's why the tau equation doesn't claim this.

> tau(60,0,0,20) is... err... according to the wacky transforms ...

At this point we don't know yet what the exact value of this
tau(60,0,0,20) is (we haven't derived the transform yet). My question
was what the equation 2*tau(80,0,0,16)=tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(60,0,0,20)
meant.

Of course if we pretend we have derived the transform already then we
can do what you did below (although I rather suspect you are plugging
in the numbers without understanding what's going on). Also, using the
Lorentz transform formula implies you are using tau(x,y,z,t), not
tau(x',y,z,t) - which is fine as long as you know which is which. It
would be *much* simpler and better not to plug in the numbers, it
obscures everything:

Correct.

Correct.

Incorrect. 2* (16 - 9.6)/0.8 = 16, not 32.

It's 16 = 16, so that is TRUE.

No, I said that already: x' is not x. Where did you get that idea from?
tau is *not* the time of the stationary system. It is the time of the
moving system. It differs from the time of the *auxiliary* moving
system (x',y,z,t) because the auxiliary system uses the same clock
readings as the *stationary* system (which means its clocks are *not*
Einstein-synchronised in the moving system), while the moving system
(xi,eta,zeta,tau) uses its own set of *Einstein-synchronised* clocks.

> equation, tau is the time on the stretched 747.

No, the values of tau are readings of *moving Einstein-synchronised
clocks* in *both* setups: tau(x,y,z,t) and tau(x',y,z,t). These values
are *different* from readings of the *auxiliary* moving system's
clocks.

That doesn't mean you can claim someone is an idiot just because you
don't understand something.

Look, I don't mind discussing the logic of an argument but I don't want
to go into explaining in detail the very basics of the experimental
setup Einstein uses. I assumed you knew at least that much. Find
someone who can explain it to you in person - an electronic bboard is
just too slow for that.

As I said before, let's just use *Einstein's* tau all the time so we
don't get confused by your inserting the numbers.

But I don't know now what the point of this discussion is given the
fact you don't know how it differs from tau. Until this is cleared up
all the debates regarding the tau equation and the subsequent
derivation are pointless.

Don't be silly, \xi is moving and so is x', they are not the same,
\xi = x'/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) according to the cuckoo transforms.
What they are by the wacky transforms I don't know, you've
not derived them after dinner yet.

Nonsense, temperature isn't part of the cuckoo transforms. Totally
irrelevant.

I've told you.

Answer to hint number 2 that seems to be a question:
Specifically, (80,0,0,16) is an event coordinate with a time,
the other is the time of an event with a time. tau(80,0,0,16) = 16.
c = 5 (given), 80/5 = 16.
Wasn't hard, was it?

Ok, no need to repeat yourself, I only mentioned that you see yourself
as the phuckwit I was referring to, since I said those were the examples
of a phuckwit and you responded as if I meant you.

|
| Yes, it is false. That's why the tau equation doesn't claim this.
|

|
| At this point we don't know yet what the exact value of this

Yeah, you were going to do that after dinner... maybe you haven't
eaten for 2 days. I don't know who the 'we' is though, I'm not
going to derive the wacky transforms, and I've had two dinners,
two breakfasts and two lunches since then.
I think you'll find it has two values, 12 and 20. 12 when the light got
to 60 the first time and 20 when it returned after reflection at 80.
Make sure wacky() is a linear function, won't you?

My question
| was what the equation 2*tau(80,0,0,16)=tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(60,0,0,20)
| meant.

It means 2 * 16 = 0+20, of course. I think it's silly, but go ahead and
derive the wacky transforms, this is quite funny.

| Of course if we pretend we have derived the transform already then we
| can do what you did below (although I rather suspect you are plugging
| in the numbers without understanding what's going on).

Why not pretend you had dinner and go ahead and derive the wacky
transforms instead of all this chatter?
It might take your changed mind off your hunger.

Also, using the
| Lorentz transform formula implies you are using tau(x,y,z,t), not
| tau(x',y,z,t) - which is fine as long as you know which is which.

I'm not using the cuckoo transforms at all, they can't be derived.
I may be able to use the wacky transforms if you finish dinner
and get on with deriving them.


| It
| would be *much* simpler and better not to plug in the numbers, it

That's ok, take the half (½) out, it's a number and obscures everything.
I've told you before I object to the half. Use (t1-t0)/(t2-t0) instead.

|
| Incorrect. 2* (16 - 9.6)/0.8 = 16, not 32.

Nah, the time for light to go from 0 to 80 is 16, because
(80-0)/16, which is x/t = c and c is 5.
Then we have Einstein's definition,
" we establish by definition that the "time" required by a turtle to
travel
from A to B equals the "time" it requires to travel from B to A."
Ref: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/
2* 16 = 32. <shrug>
Of course you haven't derived the wacky transformation yet,
so maybe you think 60 = 0 before dinner and something else
after dinner.

|
| > 32 = 16.
| > So that is FALSE.
|
| It's 16 = 16, so that is TRUE.

Nope... it's 16 = 32, FALSE.
(80-0)/5 = 16, but that's only one way. (0-80)/-5 = 16 going back.
I don't know where you get 60 from in your wacky function, nothing
startling is happening there. Had dinner yet?
Why not ask Dinky, he might know and be able to help you derive
the wacky transforms.

"And I provided a hint how to do it by writing

Yeah, that's ok, the time for light to go from the caboose to the engine
is 16,
and the time for light to go from the station to 80 is 16.
So there is no problem with the time for light to go back to 80 being
16.
The problem is it passes the caboose on the way back at x= 60 , t = 20
because the caboose moved.
So 1/2 of 16+4 = 16, right? As I told you, my objection is the 1/2
Leave the numbers in, it clarifies everything.
That way we don't have any ghost moving system (xi,eta,zeta,tau)
and the *auxiliary* moving system (x',y,z,t) is the ONLY moving system.
