On local radio here yesterday, two announcers had revitalised and were trying
to solve that old riddle which goes:
________
A man is looking at a portrait on the wall and says, "sisters and brothers have
I none, but that man's father is my father's son".
The question is, who is in the portrait?
________
Of course, this is a very simple problem and no one here should take more than
a few seconds to come up with the right answer (excepting, of course, Dinky who
will search for the intrinsic fumble and Varney who will work through the phone
book till he finds a likely candidate).
What has amazed me is the number of people who cannot deduce the correct
answer. Not only that, they cannot see why the answer they give is wrong. Even
when given the right answer, they are incapable of understanding why that is
so. One fellow I spoke to became quite irate and insisted there were two
possible answers. Another claimed that the 'sisers and brothers' bit was
totally irrelevant.
I have now reached the conclusion that most people, particularly the female
variety, have no powers of logic at all...(maybe SRians also fall into this
category). They do not know how to even approach a logical problem........ yet
these people are allowed to vote in elections.
No wonder homo sapiens 'ain't goin' nowhere fast'!!!
I ask, are we physicists so very different from the rest of society?
Apparently the answer is yes.
Henri Wilson.
I wonder if you could give us the right answer... Could you ?
No I'll let you work it out, Moron.
Try asking around, you will be amazed how many people simply cannot get it.
Henri Wilson.
I ask on what basis do you consider yourself a physicist and on what basis
you consider your sexist diatribe in any way reflects the views of
physicists (of which I am not). If you had even 1% of the brains of Emily
Noether you would see yourself for what you are - a sexist poser with
delusions of grandeur.
Thanks
Bill
Hum... I'd guess you don't know the right answer, and I would bet you'll
be unable to give it here (.exe cartoons are not considered as answers)

His son.
Dirk Vdm
So his father is his fathers son.
Which makes his father his brother of which he has none.
So he must be his own father.
Interesting family. :-)
Paul
<shrug> Here's what Henri said:
"A man is looking at a portrait on the wall and says, "sisters and brothers
have
I none, but __that man's father is my father's son__"
Paul, if you keep on using your SR logic you will never get it. :-)
Ken Seto
Let's call the man looking A, the man in the portrait B, the father of
the man looking C, and the father of the man in the portrait D.
Then Henri's statement becomes: D is the son of C.
Since the only son of C is A (A has no brothers), it follows that D is
A.
Since B is the son of D, it follows that B is the son of A.
Hence we conclude: The man in the protrait is the son of the man who is
looking.
Where is the flaw in this logic, please?

Dirk, sorry about that crap awhile back in Mike Helland's "What
sound.." thread (don't look it up(!), just please accept my apology),
my knowledge is but a planck length of yours. ~:?)
I was all set to post that the man was looknig (I like that better
than "looking") at a portrait of his *dead* brother, but I think you
are unquestionably right. The key is the only statement that makes
sense - "I am my father's son". Thus "that man's father" = "I". The
man to whom I am father is my son. I wonder how long it took you to
figure it out, and if it had anything to do with your being a male
physicist? &;?}

My first thought was 'myself', but when I tried it out, I noticed
that it didn't work, so I tried with my son, which seemed okay.
If I would have a brother, it could have been my nephew.
Your *dead* brother solution is perfect as well, although some
might be (unrightfully) picky on the usage of 'is' in stead of 'was'.
I am male, but I'm not a physicist :-)

EEEYeeechhh! I think I see what you mean. So many times I have
stumbled while employing absurdity in humour. I'll say, "oops, forgot
my knees!", turn around, and there is a person in a wheelchair. Or
else what one meant to have no meaning at all has the worst meaning
possible in the moment. Even worse on usenet, where bald type stands
open to misinterpretation. I thought the above typo looked pretty
funny. Given the chance I would go back and correct it.
Had I posted my dead brother response, I *was* going to point out
that the riddle was a cheat because "is" should be "was". Moot, as
yours is the only correct answer; my (dead or alive) brother would be
my father's son, but his father wouldn't be.
Thanks for responding. I'm having a pretty good time here on sp, I
wish I had some physics to contribute! ~:?) In the spirit of
intellectual honesty, I think I just want to "hang around" with smart
people.

It's good enough. Why do you think Einstein had to invent the e-syched
clocks
to get OWLS equal to c? And why do you think that the SRians refused to
test for OWLS with two spatially separated and synchronized clocks? Your
idea of a ballistic theory and c+v and c-v had been refused by many
experiments.

What is even more telling is that you didn't say anything when I ask
for your evidence against relativity, but when I proclaim my approval
for dirk's page you shit all over yourself with anger.
Might there be something to it?
And how does one avoid losing synch with the two clocks?
I'm assuming that your experiment would be either one of the two forms:
[1]: straightline:
O===> ---------------------------- A
or
<===O ---------------------------- A
where the measurement is performed from O to A.
[2]: transverse
^
|
O--------------------------------- A
where the measurement is performed from O to A.
It's an intriguing detail. A third form could subsume both of these,
where either O or A is on a large wheel; synchronization would
therefore take place prior to the actual measurement on another cycle.
Trouble is, that's an accelerated reference frame.

Ghost, I have told you how to do this.
You need two differently moving sources, an optical system including mirrors
and a 'gate' and just one 'clock'.
The idea is to demonstrate OWLS anisotropy. No lengths or clock rates have to
be accurate.
Henri Wilson.
So what? Is this statement true or false? If the statement
is true, then it disproves the above statement by example.

This is stupid. If they can get OWLS equal to c using two spatially
separated and synchronized clocks they would be jumping for joy.
Why? Because that would validate the second postulate and refute
the claim of the existence of an aether.

Henri's statement was: "A man is looking at a portrait on the wall and

Merely asserting that this is wrong will convince no one - you have to

Where is the fault in the reasoning, please?
Bye,

He said to demonstrate anisotropy, not to measure it. There's a difference.
Here's one way he could try it.
A large rotating turntable A contains a light emitter, two light
detectors, and a clock. The clock is hooked up to both detectors,
through standard copper cable. A pulsed beam of light shoots
through detector A, then through detector B. The turntable is
rotated and the experiment reperformed.
There are a number of issues -- chief of which is how to prevent
anisotropy through the wires canceling out the anisotropy of the
light beam. AIUI, the signal propagates through copper cable at
about 2/3 of c.
Ideally, the unit would be sensitive enough to pick up anisotropy
resulting from a 100 metric tonne mass standing nearby. Of
course, that brings up other issues -- like how to launch the
turntable into deep enough space to avoid such local anomalies.
(Note that a cube of iron 2.3 m in edge would weigh 100
metric tonnes. A cube of lead would have to only be 2.07 m
in edge. A cube of water would have to be 4.64 m in edge.
Probably the cheapest of the three... :-) )

There are experiments performed that demonstrate OWLS isotropic. I

not confirm that OWLS is c.

That's right. He found a way to get around the MMX null result without an
aether. His LT's were relative and not absolute. Unfortunately his idea makes
no sense because it makes the so-called contractions observer dependent and not

Reading comprehension yet again! You changed my statement to:
IF you expressed amusement THEN you are incompetent.
But I stated:
IF you think that Dirk's link makes sense THEN you are incompetent.
You can't even correctly interpret an IF-THEN statement.
How could I possibly explain anything to you, let alone physics.
Tell you what. When (or if) you can demonstrate that you understand
the English language, show me, and I will gladly attempt some
explanation.
BTW here is a hint. I claimed that:
IF you think that Dirk's link makes sense THEN you are incompetent.
The correct way to respond to this statement is to either:
1. Attack the logic. That is: does it actually follow that [thinking
that Dirk's link makes sense] leads to incompetence? In this case,
whether or not your thinking his link makes sense is not the issue,
but whether the above result follows.
2. Attack the assumption. That is: Do you actually think Dirk's link
makes sense? It could be that you did not, but found the article
amusing anyway.
By either of these methods, the conclusion could be invalidated
(given the appropriate content of the arguments).
[I actually don't mean to single you out on this point since
gross negligence in logic is rampant in this group (as Dirk
consistently demonstrates).]

No it wouldn't. Why? Because source dependency is not isotropic and

ROTFLOL....So you are one of the 500000000 muslim?
Ken Seto
You are an idiot. They ruled out the ballistic model when they found
that OWLS is isotropic. Why? Because the ballistic model asserts that the
speed of light is NOT isotropic within an inertial frame.
Ken Seto
You are an idiot. How can you show that it is not constant with just one
clock?
Ken Seto
Indeed, as I consistently demonstrate.

Thank you. No.

Henri, Nobody in this NG is as stupid as you. For example you assert
the following:
1. Source dependency of the speed of light.
2. Ballistic theory of light.
3. All clocks run at the same rate in all inertial frames. Velocity does not
affect the rate of a clock.
It was pointed out to you that all these assertions have been refuted by
experiments and yet you keep on spewing these garbage day in and
day out. Now that is stupid.:-)
Ken Seto
As much as I would love to debate psychology, I only commented because
I wanted to see the evidence you had against relativity. Since you are
more interested in being a jackass than showing evidence, I conclude
you have none.
Faulty logic or not, I will stick to it until the logic is disproven.

Velocity is not absolute. How can you tell if an acceleration is positive or
negative.

Not bloody likely.
Firstly, nobody ever established tat OWLS is isotropic.
Secondly, the experiments that are supposed to verify that view definitely
support source dependency.
I told you a few messges ago. Light from two relativiely moving sources, a
mirror system, an optical gate, ONE PM and ONE CRO.

So you think that a photon is like a tennis ball? A tennis ball has the

Another example of doing physics by assertion. It doesn't matter
to Henri that the SR effect on the GPS clock is 7 us/day running slow
compared to the ground clock.

Experiments that show that the speed of light is isotropic in all
inertial frames. If the speed of light is source dependent then the
speed of light is not isotropic....unless a photon has the same motion
(velocity) as the source and the detector before it is emitted.
BTW what is the velocity of the source and detector relative to
since you deny the existence of absolute velocity?

It seems that way to me.:-)
Ken Seto
No idiot they don't support source dependency unless the photon has the
same velocity as the source before it is emitted. Do you have any evidence
of that?
Ken Seto
So how do you determine the arrival time for each light ray from the two
sources?
BTW what is ONE PM and ONE CRO?

Ken, you believe light travels in a medium like sound does in air. Therefore
your views will remain in complete contrast to relativistic ones. You will
continue to argue till your last breathe.
I am a relativist, (but not of the Einsteinian ilk). There is no evidence of
ant kind of 'aether'...My 'H-aether' maybe, but that is not an absolute thing.
Even SRians believe that light is emitted at c relative to its source.
That means, is an observer at the source could measure the time taken for light
to reach a distant detector, he would calculate the light's velocity to be
always c.
Doesn't that directly support the ballistic theory?

That's TWLS and is what one would expect under source dependency.

As far as we know, a photon doesn't exist before it is emitted.
Maxwell's derivation of c applies only to the observer frame.

Each other.
Velocity of one object can only be specified relative to another object.
But why all the nonsense about 'frame transforms'. They DON'T happen.

NO....in ballistic theory the only way that you can get light to be
isotropic c
in an inertial frame is that the photon has the velocity of the source and

Whatever it is, it simply confirms source dependency.

Proof of nonsense by absurdity (1)
"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."
Relativity has to approximate Galilean relativity for v much less than c.
x' = x-vt is simply described below.
0--------------x'x
1-----------x'---x
2--------x'------x
3----x'----------x
< -vt <
To move the other way,
0------------x
1------------x---x'
2------------x------x'
3------------x----------x'
> +vt >
We see that x' = x+vt.
"*IF* we place x'=x+vt, it is blatantly obvious that a point at rest in the
system k must have a system of values x', y, z, independent of time also."
It seems that Einstein has only done half the work.
Through previous very long-winded posts,
"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
we find the Paul B. Andersen transforms are
t' = (t+xv/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
x' = (x+vt) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
which are the OTHER Lorentz transforms and which also approximate the
Galilean transform x' = x+vt.
Paul isn't particularly proud of them for some reason.
I think it has something to do with the faster you go, the later you arrive.
------------------------------
Proof of nonsense by contradiction (2)
Consider the supposed transverse doppler shift, to be found in the equation
ref (Electrodynamics, section 7)
1-cos(phi).v/c (numerator)
nu' = nu. [ ____________]
sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) (denominator)
Assume 'v' is a radial velocity vector relative to the observe (having both
speed and direction) in the numerator, otherwise there is no requirement for
the term cos(phi), and for the transverse case phi = pi/2 or 3pi/2 such that
the transverse motion is described, cos(pi/2) = cos(3pi/2) = 0.
Yet in the denominator, 'v' is clearly a speed, having no direction
whatsoever, while 'c' is a velocity, the vector again being along the
observer's line of sight.
If we allow 'v' as a radial velocity in the denominator, then the term
sqrt(1 - (cos(phi).v)^2/c^2) is required.
^ v.cos(3pi/2)
!
O------- <--c, <---v --!
!
Suppose instead we assume 'v' is a transverse velocity to begin with, then
the equation does give the correct result of no shift at all. However, we
have no way of knowing the direction of v is supposed to be at right angles
to the direction of c.
Also of interest is the concept "moving clocks run slow", which, together
with the simple idea that t = 1/f and a clock ticking once per second,
how does a clock that ticks only once every two seconds (runs slow) emit a
frequency of two ticks a second when v = 0.866c ?
t' = (t-vx/c^2/sqrt(1-v^2.c^2)
= t * sqrt(1-v^2.c^2)
= 1 * 0.5
= 0.5
= 1 tick per 2 seconds
(Keep in mind that the equation was derived entirely along the X- axis)
1-0 (numerator)
nu' = 1 . [ _________________]
0.5 (denominator)
= 2 ticks per second.
So according to Einstein,
If A = 1/B, then A*g = 1/(B*g)
and the rest of the world knows A*g = g/B.
---------------------------------------------
Proof of nonsense by contradiction (3)
"But the ray moves relatively to the initial point of k, when measured in
the stationary system, with the velocity c-v, so that x'/(c-v) = t."
and
"It follows, further, that the velocity of light c cannot be altered by
composition with a velocity less than that of light. For this case we obtain
V = (c+w)/(1+w/c) = c."
are contradictory statements.

Satisfied, Eric?
Or will you stick to faulty logic that has just been disproven before your
very eyes, three times? If so, see a psychologist.

No...that includes the ballistic model unless you assumes that the photon
is emitted from the same source at c+v and c-v

So we are now doing physics by presuming? Even this model has problem.
In order to maintain c in different directions the speed of light must be
emitted
at c+v or c-v in different directions

So now the photon is a ball?

Hey stupid it is included in the calculations using the SR math.

Doing physics by assertion again.

You are stupid...because we were talking about measuring OWLS
in an inertial frame with two spatially separated and synchronized
clocks. I said that if one uses this procedure the speed of light is not c.
Ken Seto
It appears that you don't even know what source dependency means. <shrug>
