Note for josX: I am going to do some stuff with a simple lead cube. I
want to see if you can follow along. If you see an error, point it out
and re-do it the "right way" in your reply.

Note for Spaceman: Same as the note for josX

Note for others: This is for everyone's benefit, really. This
reinforces what i learn, and hopefully i will be able to teach others.
Also, if Spaceman and josX get a clue, reading
sci.physics/sci.physics.relativity will be oh-so-much more pleasant.


~~~

Lets start off by defining a few things....

c = 3x10^8 m/s
(rho)Pb = 11340 kg/m^3
(gamma) = 1/sqrt(1-[v^2/c^2])


We first start off with a lead cube. It has dimensions of 1m x 1m x
1m. It also has a total mass of 11340 kg.

(1m^3)*(11340 kg/m^3) = 11340 kg.

This cube is cruising in space at .9c, Which is a velocity of 2.7x10^8
m/s.

Before I deal with the two Lorentz transformations, I would like to
talk about momentum.

In Newtonian mechanics, Ek = (1/2)(mv^2.)
So, (.5)(11340 kg)(7.29x10^16 m/s) = 4.13x10^20 kgm/s of momentum.
That is a lot, dont get in its way.

Unfortunately, Newtonian mechanics is wrong.

In SR, Ek = (gamma)(1/2)(mv^2), where gamma = 1/sqrt(1-[v^2/c^2])

So, (1/sqrt(1-[7.29x10^16 m/s / 9x10^16 m/s]))(.5)(11340
kg)(7.29x10^16 m/s)

Note gamma = 2.294. Gamma is a dimensionless constant which will be
useful later.
As you get closer to lightspeed, gamma gets big.

SR Ek yeilds an awnser of 9.48x10^20 kgm/s of momentum. Woah, talk
about deviation.

Still following? Gooood.


That cube is moving at a hefty clip. Or is it really a cube? Our
"cube" is moving along the x axis relative to some observer. Length
contraction is determinted by d/(gamma)

Since our cube is moving along the x axis, it will contract along that
axis.

x' = x/(gamma)

(1m)/(2.294) = .436

Our cube, when moving at .9c, relative to a stationary observer, has
the dimensions of .436m x 1m x 1m! Note that this is "aparrenty" and
the cube does not notice the contraction.

This *is* as simple as i remember it being. Neat.

Lets say for argument, that our cube could record the passage of time.
Since it can now record time, once our cube comes to a rest (we will
ignore acelleration, since relativistic accelration is beyond me right
now. So, from .9c to 0 in a "small" amount of time") , we will notice
something odd. The observer's watch and the cube dont synch up. Why?
Time dilation!

Say, the cube was moving for 5 days at that speed.

Without using any silly diagrams i will do this.

t' = t/(gamma)
(5 days)/(2.294) = 2.18 days.

t' = observed time
t = observer time

No diagrams, no nothing. Simple algebra. All i needed for this post
was http://www.motionmountain.org/C-2-CLSC.pdf,
http://www.webelements.com and my High School background.

Yes, i am aware is SR reduced to a very simple level.

josX, spaceman, either of you, if there are things "wrong" with what i
have said, please correct them and explain in detail. But before you
comment.

1) Newtonian mechanics and SR are NOT reconcilable, do not mix
predictions from either.

2) You cannot use light as a reference frame.

This is mostlly directed to josx/spaceman, but i do appreciate input
from other people :)

Also, josX.....When will you reply to this?

You realize you go wrong here?
"gamma" is not a real entity, it cannot be because of it's mutual
exclusion proporty.

That would be "mutual length contraction", thank you. It means there's
now two realities, one in which we are shorter, and one in which the
cube is shorter. Be explicit.

But are this visual illusions?
No. The answer is, it's irrational illusions.

>This *is* as simple as i remember it being. Neat.

I am amazed that your ability to do this simple math clouds your thinking
into believing you actually have done something and understood it. You
only understood it on the level of operations, not on the level of
understanding.

Suppose the cube was sliding along a rail, and there was a gab of 1m
wide in the rail. Would the cube fall in? Answer: yes and no, depending
on which universe you talk about. Do you understand these implications
of SR ?

My my, you really are bright aren't you. Tell me bright guy, why is the
cubes watch behind while from the pov of the cube WE were the ones moving
and had the time dilation. Get it?

I did. You just applied SR. I can apply SR too, big deal. The problem
comes with thinking a bit beyond the simple applyance.

Ha. You should have included Donald Shead.
He devoures densities.

You should have left out Spaceman. It can't even multiply.
Which neuron do you think will fire when it sees "sqrt"?

Oh yes, definitely Shead!
And since there is multiplication, definitely not for Spaceman,
this one.

That's one for Marcel Luttgens
He will object that this is impossible: "this equation is false.
It must be
x' = gamma( x - vt )"

No, according to Marcel Luttgens, this must be

What do you mean with "it cannot because it is mutual
exclusion property"?
Why would gamma "be mutual exclusion property"?
And what the hell does it mean?
Is this an attempt at forming an English sentence or something?

It means that if two people are moving with respect to eachother,
the 'other' /is/ shorter. Now the fuzzcircuit in your brain activates
the "visual illusion" hormone, but SR isn't about visual illusions.

Considder the car-on-the-road-with-gap-in-the-road-paradox.

Only one thing can happen in the world, but SR's predictions exclude
eachother depending on what coordinate system you are in.

So you say. Show the math. It is much more convincing than ascii drawn
diagrams. Diagrams are, at best, a crutch and a pedigogical tool. To
show a correct argument (logically speaking) the math is what counts.

Of which speaking, since all of your assertions are contradicted by
experiment you should go back to square 1. In the world of science, fact
is the determinent of truth, or more exactly the lack of fact is sure
proof of being wrong.

Which is why you are wrong. One hundred years of experiment prove you
are a twit and a fool.

All of the mathematically elegant proofs that bumblebees cannont fly are
for naught. Bumblebees can and do fly.

Lousy excuse. You don't want to look at the math because you know it
shows you so wrong.

I could do the math without the diagrams, but that would only highten
your possibilities of getting away with outright lies.

Tell me exactly what you do not understand about this time/distance

If it comes at your nose it relativistically flattens. If it whizzees
by it Terrell rotates. We thus have the delicious quandry of a
relativistic choo-choo passing by. In the bad old analytical days it
went chugga-chugga on apparently elliptical wheels without going
wunga-wunga up and down. In the good new numerical simulation days it
flashes by sideways with its wheels still locked in the tracks.

The cranks and crackpots will need update their spews.

Actually this is wrong. E = mc^2. m = m_0 gamma. Hence: E = m_0 * gamma
* c^2. If you Fourier transform gamma, you will find for slow speeds gamma
~ 1/2 v^2/c^2. Hence E ~ 1/2 m_0 v^2.

I may be uselfull to note for more advanced readers that this "contraction"
is the result of a changing meter stick. Basically, it results from a
change in how meters are measured in the first place. It is NOT the result
of some physical process like "pressure of Aether" etc. as some crackpots
will try to make you believe.

Because in the cubes own frame of referece, it is not moving at all. It is
the rest of the world that is moving.

Does it frighten you to know all of modern science in one huge scale
lie or fuckup ?

Let's examin:

SR: "light speed is the same for all inertial observers in a vacuo"

Bob: |
|
|
1-->2-->3-->4-->5
5<--4<--2<--2<--1
x---------+-------------
|
|
|
|
|
z

This is Bob, he is standing still with us. There you see two lightbeams
traveling through his coordinate system.

Here we have Alice, but she goes to the left.

Alice: | |
| |
| |
| 1-->2-->3-->4-->5
| 5<--4<--2<--2<--1
x-------+----------- x---------+-------------
| |
| |
| <-------- |
| moving |
| |
z z

Now you can use your magic wand and make Alice lengthcontract to any
amount that will satisfy you, you can impose the speed limit of the
speed of light for Alice's movement, and you can timedilate Alice for
everything you like.

And i'll show you that the speed of light cannot be 300,000km/sec for Alice
if it's 300,000km/sec for Bob.

The computer you are nattering with is sqarely based on quantum theory
and relativity.

Every time a high powered particle accelerator is revved up and works
according to specs is another experimantal verification of SR.

Every time GPS correct locates a postion is another proof of GTR.

A theory is tested and judged by the conformance of its predictions
with experiment and nothing else matters.

Mutual exclusion? WTF does that have to do with relativity? The

Newtonian mechanics cannot accurately predict the orbit of Mercury,

Whoops i said constant, when i meant factor, and it shouldve been
m^2/s^2 but either way the point is lost upon you.

Aparrently "algebra" is something that eludes you, still. Remember the
identity property of division? Something divided by itself equals 1,
the two m^2/s^2 units cancel out leaving a dimensionless factor.

You are a moron.

The length contraction is aparrent, it is all relative to the
observer. Neither object actually changes size.

You must be trying to digest some stuff about QM in order for you to

Wow you actually got something right, good job. I understand SR at the

realm at the moment.

Perhaps you meant "gap"

As far as i know, the awnser is "no" because the cube would be moving
fast enough to traverse that 1m distance for it not to fall in.
Besides, your example is shit because my example was out in space.
Perhaps i shouldve made things even more obvious. "There is a cube and
an observer in this universe, NOTHING ELSE"

Just because you say so doesnt make it true. Your diagrams are a

The moment they are "simple" ,"correct" and backed up by actual math
instead of handwaving and simple division.

The onus is on you, jos. SR has been working for 9 decades and
counting, then you come along and say its crap and expect us to
believe it because you do a lot of handwaving and say "my diagrams
prove its crap!" You have to prove to US that its crap, not the other
way around.

Science doesnt work that way, its too bad that you lack the critical
thinking skills required to see that.

Fourier transform? Im not familiar with that. Remember, High School

Ive seen this mentioned before, but not with an explanation. What does
it matter if you just use m_0 instead of m(gamma)? It seems the same
to me, unless there is something in the derivations of it that make it
different.

Apply some critical thinking, if you can.

For 90 years SR has been around with experimental basis, do you
honestly believe that it took NINTY YEARS for someone to "break" the
theory depite the *fact* that it has worked in every concievable
application for that time?

Again, jos. The speed of light is constant for all inertial observers.

Bob of course you are right. JosX doesn't even have his equations for SR
correct. And it's just based on simple algrebra for Christ sake. He has
convinced himself that his version of the Lorentz transforms are correct and
they aren't. Then he uses his wrong equations to derive an inconsistancy in
SR. Christ even Richeter realizes the error. And he's another moron!!

I think i just broke the sekret coding of your brains. It works

but when i use a "complicated (fantasy) word" you go heywire (however
you write that i dunno). "mutual exclusion proporty" gets them angry,
and i know why: it hacks into their games of using fancy meaningless
terms for themselves.

Do you have a square root on your calculator? Probably not otherwise
you would know my numerical examples work out fine, so i suggest you
get one, casio is a great brand, i can recommend it!

Neither does "constancy of the speed of light" predict the orbit of

That your personal version of SR?
You realize SR is not about visual illusions?
You realize the speed of light still cannot be constant with or without

Guess what, i get a whole lot more right, for instance that the speed
of light cannot be a constant for everybody however their relative
motions.

Yes gap.

Fine fine fine. There was a much better example of this recently
posted to the group:

Suppose your cube travel along, but at a right angle to it's direction
of movement a spaceship comes flying wich has a gap in it of 1 meter
in the direction of movement of the cube, and the gap is 2 meter high
(for instance):


----cube----[]--->
^
|
(|) spaceship
|
|
|

Does or doesn't the cube slide into the gap of the spaceship ?

Considder it the improved car-on-the-road+gap paradox. Bullitproved
against yet another anal evasion of our dear SRist trolling these groups.

I cannot compute where the lightbeam is in a certain coordinate

You think you can keep that bullshit long enough in the air until you

Here, read some actual physics, and there is math in too, although i

Investigation into length contraction and time dilation, K is a coordinate
system, K' is a coordinate system in movement with respect to K in the
direction of Ks positive x axis with a speed of 1 unit distance per 1
unit time:

t=0
K 0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-

Now an object goes to the right at the same speed in both frames:

To make this incoherency mathematically (seemingly) right, you might do
this, contract the length-measure in K', the famous length contraction
i presume:

Speeds are the same numerically in both coordinate systems: 3 ticks
per time.

That's one solution, but it doesn't work:
t=0
K 0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-

^-----------------*
K'0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-1011121314151617181920
^-----------------------*
Which is 3 ticks in K per time, but (15-3=12)/2=6 ticks per time in K'.

Therefore length-contraction doesn't work and will never work to make
c a constant in all frames of reference, because it produces the oposite
results depending on whether the direction of the light was along or
head-on with the translation of the moving coordinate system. Like
time dilation, it is also in contradiction with the principle of relativity,
because you can't take one of the coordinate systems to be the preferred
frame, which produces the impossible *mutual* length-contraction, producing
paradoxes like the car which does or doesn't fall through a hole in the
road depending on your frame of reference.

Then there is time-dilation (well there isn't, but there is the hypotheses):

For K 6 distance for 2 time = 3 distance ticks for 1 time tick.
For K' 4 distance for 1 3/9 time tick = 3 distance ticks for 1 time tick.
So this works out, so it SEEMS.
But it doesn't because:

K -> (10-4=6) distance / 2 time = 3 distance per 1 time
K' -> (10-2=8) distance / 1 3/9 time = 6 distance per 1 time
3 <> 6

So time dilation produces oposite results for beams in the oposite
direction of the translation of the moving coordinate system, and
can therefore not make the speed of light a constant generally accross
reference frames which are moving with respect to one another.

A combination of the above two solutions to constancy of c (timedilation
lengthcontraction) will not work for the same reason that they don't work
in isolation either:

K -> (10-4=6) / 2 time = 3 distance for 1 time

For a speed of the moving coordinate-system of '1' per '1'
time and a lightspeed of '3' per '1' time: 1 distance=100,000km, 1
time=1 sec. The Lorentz transformations give then a lengthcontraction of:

<quote Einstein>
x(beginning of the rod) = 0 (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5
x(end of the rod) = 1 (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5
</quote>

x' = x * (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5
Which comes out as:
x' = x * 0.942809041

Then the Lorentz timedilation effect:

<quote Einstein>
As judged from K, the clock is moving with teh velocity v; as
judged from this reference-body, the time which elapses
between two strokes of the clock is not one second, but
1/(1-v^2/c^2)^.5 seconds, i.e. a somewhat larger time. As a con-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sequence of its motion the clock goes more slowly thean when at
rest.
</quote>

Which comes out as
t' = t * 1/(1 - 100,000^2/300,000^2)^.5 = t * 1.060660172

Because of the constraints of usenet linelength we can only do t0 and t1

Same story, you can compute yourself what the difference in position of
both hypothetical lightbeams is under the Lorentz-transformations.
If you do, you have disproved the validity of the Lorentz-transformations
yourself! (unless you subscribe to a world-splitting solution to SR, which
is not endorsed officially).

No, i have no problem with that in a philosophy group as a game of
trying to see where an insane idea leads to. But this is physics, not
philosophy, so things have to work out and cannot simply be 'assumed
correct'.

There has to be hard experimental evidence that the speed of light is
always the same for every observer. An experiment to show that the same
beam of light has the same speed for stationary and moving measuring
equipment has never been done. That means 98 years of defacto lying
by scientists. That means they have lost every shred of credibility
they might have had by default in this matter, so don't bother coming
up with fake experiments.

The fact that it was a 'postulate' should send shockwaves of horror
into the scientific establishment, how such a grave error could go
unnoticed for so long.

You just cannot make "postulates" out of thin air in science, didn't know?

Here is the reason: everybody can postulate anything, that's no basis
for true knowledge.

Sorry pal, but my equations come right from the master.

<quote Einstein>
x(beginning of the rod) = 0 (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5
x(end of the rod) = 1 (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5

(...)


As judged from K, the clock is moving with teh velocity v; as
judged from this reference-body, the time which elapses
between two strokes of the clock is not one second, but
1/(1-v^2/c^2)^.5 seconds, i.e. a somewhat larger time. As a con-

sequence of its motion the clock goes more slowly thean when at
rest.

You don't need math to proof an inconsistancy in SR, but it's ofcourse nice

Uncle Al is right, they are trained.

Please explain how these work without SR:

Particle Accellerators

Time dilation

TP is an industrial process.
Fuel injection is an electromechanical process ran by computers.
Computers are a QM process.
Sattelites that just sit in orbit can use newton.
Watches can be anything from a mechanical process to a QM process.

God, you really think thats physics? I want to see you published
somewhere. That would be the day.

Here is time dilation, t'=t/(gamma) where (gamma)=1/sqrt[1-(v^2/c^2)]

Here is proof.
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/airtim.html

Explain to me where they went wrong with math instead of meaningless
and contentless diagrams.

Again i snip those stupid fucking diagrams, you copy and paste those
from a text file without thinking. I know that because you re-post
the same errors each time.

When you show us of an experiment where light speed does not go at c,
you will get the attention seem to need.

Not if you include history in your input parameters.

Remember established science against the roundness of the Earth and it's
movement about the sun ?

Say anything you want, but the Eart flatness and centerdness in the
universe were science of that day. Perhaps not among the most intelligent
at some point, but that is the same situation as now with SR: only the
fools still believe in it.

The lumineferous aether was the science of the day when Einstein lived.

The space/time bending continuum with light as a constant for all is
the science of this day.

It's still a long way before we get anywhere near good science (or should
i say "good scientists").

Why do you say "behevior" while it's "behaviour".

Why do you think "the speed of light is constant in all inertial
coordinate systems" has anything to do with mercury. BTW, i don't believe
for a second this was predicted, it was probably observed first, then
it was predicted and then it was observed again to take the credit for it.
But don't bother, we are debating the merrits of SR now.

We have good science. The computer you are nattering on is an example of
what comes from good science (and engineering based on that science). We
live longer and eat better than folks did 100 years ago because of good
science (and engineering). What you are after is -better- science. And
that will come in the fullness of time as we learn more and improve our
technology.

Tycho Brahe practiced good astronomy. He took frequent sightings, and
used the most exact instruments that could be built in his day. Galileo
showed the way to better astronomy by pointing telescopes -up- rather
than -out-. He also cast overboard most of his Aristotelean baggage.
That helped a great deal. Galileo, Kepler and Newton blazed the path for
the rest of us, and Maxwell and Faraday lighted it up so that we may see
it all the better. The field concept has been one of the most fruitful
ideas, ever, in physics. Planck and Einstein showed us that energy is
atomic and descrete just as is matter. Einstein showed us that our
Galilean conception time and space does not work at high velocities.

Aside from the obvious problem of finding a replacement that covers both
quantum theory AND the relativistic theory of gravity, some of our
greatest challanges come from understanding complex systems and how they
come to have properties and modes not possessed by their components. In
short, the next line of development in science is making sense on non
reductionist issues. Up until recently, the Reductionist Program has
been the most successful stratgey and it will always be a good strategy.
It is, however, insufficient to understand living systems fully. Making
sense of emergence is one of the great challanges that is yet to be met
in a satisfactory manner.

Ofcourse not, at the very least it was a destilation of Newtons
past experiences in the physical world.

<quote http://www.aloha.com/~isaac/3laws/3mid.htm>

NEWTON'S THIRD LAW

------------------------------------------------

Newton's Third law is probably the most famous of his laws. In laymen
terms, it is:

These actions are forces, so you can remember this law as being every
force has an equal and opposite force. Remember that these are two
seperate forces, wich act upon two seperate objects, and so they do not
cancel each other out.

------------------------------------------------

The Third Law at first seems simple, but is a very important law.
Everytime we interact with our surroundings we feel the Third Law. When
you punch someone in the face, your hand not only applies a force to the
person's face; the person's face applies a force to your hand. Since the
person's face is softer than your hand it suffers more from the
interaction. The Third Law is very important for space travel. In the cold
void of space their is no air for jets to suck or for propellers to churn,
and yet space ships can manouver in a vacuum. How do they do it? The
engines propel gas particles out the back of the space ship. Since every
force has an equal and opposite reaction force, the space ship will be
propelled forwards. Because of the First Law space ships do not need very
much fuel -- once they are moving they will stay in motion

.
Here we see BOB punching Mike in the face.

Particle accelerators work for the same reason.

Lesson about lying: don't lie to people who happen to know what you talk
about.

I have gotten transistors at university even. I got very high grade
for that particular course (9.7 out of 10), and that's the sole reason i
got into programming.

Anyway: there are multiple types of transistors, for instance the
field effect transistor:
_________
/ switch \
------------------------------------electrical conductor
------------------------------------

If you put voltage on 'switch', you create a field over the conductor,
and it will repel electrons away towards both sides, closing the switch.

Then you have the more advanced transistors which use non conductivity
of a material (semi conducters), but where the material is made to conduct
under the influence of current or no current (it's been a while):
_______
/switch \
-------------------------------------
________|_____|_____|_____|__________

Then when you put the current on the middle material, the excess
electrons start to conduct electricity from one side to another
(depending on voltage between left and right). There's pnp and npn
transistors. Like i said, it's been a while. But it certainly involves
no QM. These things are all fabricated with experimental efforts and
chemistry. Only in the fuzzy minds of theoretical physicist does it
involve QM. The first transistor was a glass tube, later ones (solid
state) were still very big compared to the size of a molecule. QM
can't take the credit for computers.

I once designed a simple adder for two numbers, giving a result in
digits (not like a 'full adder' or anything). Just on paper, just
using transistors and diodes and normal switches, it can be done.
Nothing to do with QM.

<quote Measuring the Curvature of the Universe
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/sne_cosmology.html >

Measuring the Curvature of the Universe by Measuring the Curvature of
the Hubble
Diagram

Two groups are measuring distant supernovae with the goal of determining
whether the Universe is open or closed by measuring the curvature in the
Hubble diagram. The figure below shows both data sets: Perlmutter et al.
(1997) and (1998) in black and Garnavich et al. (1997) in orange.

Radial velocity vs Distance for SNe 1a

The curves show a closed Universe (Omega = 2) in red, the critical density
Universe (Omega = 1) in black, the empty Universe (Omega = 0) in green,
and the steady state model in blue. The supernova luminosity calibration
used to compute the luminosity distance DL is from Riess, Press and
Kirshner (1996) which gives Ho = 65 km/sec/Mpc. The data show a larger
scatter than that expected based on the accuracy of the low redshift
sample, but Omega appears to be in the range 0 to 1, with a cosmological
constant giving an accelerating Universe.

</quote>

This is ofcourse redicilous. There is no curvature of space by the very
nature of the thing 'space' (it's not a thing, it's a void). But people
buy into it (aparently).

This might create great oportunities for easy money, as you need to do
nothing but produce a few charts and some bullshit. But there you have
two whole science teams chasing nonsense, and getting it published in
science magazines, so they get a piece of the pie too (the magazines).
And people, stupid as they are, believe all the crap that they are fed,
and because it's so wild they keep buying the stories, politicians keep
funding the nonsense research, teachers keep teaching voodoo nonsense
at university, and the loop is closed. I don't know how much funding
you get for some team investigating something like this, i don't think
it's big money on the scale of Enron/Worldcom etc fraud, or narcotics
shipping etc, but it has to be worth someting otherwise why not get into
more lucrative frauds.

Read this blurb please.

A QUANTUM TUNNELING TRANSISTOR, an on-off switch that exploits an
electron's ability to pass through normally impenetrable barriers, has
been built by Sandia researchers (Jerry Simmons, 505-844-8402), opening
possibilities for record-speed transistors that can be mass-produced
with current nanotechnology. In their device, the researchers control
the flow of electrons between two GaAs layers (each only 15 nm thick)
separated by an AlGaAs barrier (12 nm). Although the electrons in GaAs
ordinarily do not have enough energy to enter the AlGaAs barrier, the
layers are so thin (comparable in size to the electron wavelength) that
the electrons, considered as waves rather than particles, can spread
into the barrier and, with an appropriate voltage applied, out the other
side. In the process, the electron waves do not collide with impurity
atoms, in contrast to a traditional transistor's particlelike electrons,
which are slowed down by these collisions. Transistors that switch on
and off a trillion times per second--5 times faster than the current
record--are possible with this approach. Although quantum tunneling
transistors were first built in the late 1980s, it was originally
infeasible to mass-produce them. Previous researchers engraved the
ultrathin GaAs and AlGaAs features side-by-side on a surface, something
hard to do reliably with present-day lithography. Therefore the Sandia
researchers stacked the features vertically, by using readily available
techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy which can deposit layers of
material with single-atom thicknesses. Having made quantum-tunneling
memory devices and digital logic gates operating at 77 K, the
researchers expect room-temperature devices in the next year. (J.A.
Simmons et al., upcoming article in Applied Physics Letters; figure at
www.aip.org/physnews/graphics)

In classical physics there are no quanta. Energy is continuous.
Classical physics cannot account for the Blackbody Radiation Curve, period.

The equipartition of energy among the frequencies fails completely.

Nor can classical electrodynmics explain tunneling through a potential
barrier or even how an atom can be stable. Classical statistical
mechanics and thermodynamics cannot account for specific heat properly.
Even Maxwell, who died before quantum theory was invented, was aware all
was not well. See -Bolzman's Atom- and -The Refrigerator and the Universe-.

Nonsense, but ofcourse you use a strawman for 'classical', and it's
likely universities also teach a strawman af normal/classical physics
in order to push for QM and it's brand of nonsense.

If there are quanta in nature, then normal mathmoddeling can mathmodel
them, no problem. The fact is, there can be no difference between normal
mathmoddeling for normal sized objects and very small objects, it's
all still mathmodeling.

>Classical physics cannot account for the Blackbody Radiation Curve, period.

Now you are talking about "explaining". Do you realize that if you
explain anything using a quark for instance, that you have just shifted
the problem to "why is the quark like that" (to give an example).

If there is a rational explanation for this radiation, then there is a
classical/normal answer. If there isn't, then it's unknown.

Things seem to be extremely fuzzy here, i don't think it is by any
means certain what this discussion is about except head bashing.

You people need to cut the crap, whether that is crap of QM or crap of
SR, or crap of GR. I only know specifically why SR is wrong of these
3 theories, and why Heisenberg uncertainty is classical. That last fact
gives me the impression that QM is much ado about nothing. Hype. Then
again if there are parts about 'quanta', then that's fine, no problem.
It's not clear where the bullshit and the sensible things in QM begin
and end, and i don't care until SR is removed and publically denounced
as the unfounded horseshit that it is.

Most people don't like m(gamma) because E = m(gamma) c^2, so there's
really no point in having separate symbols and terms for
energy/"relativistic mass" Particularly if you work in units where c
= 1.

but regardless, gamma m c^2 <> (1/2) gamma m v^2 which is not the
relativistically correct expression for the energy. It is not
possible to get correct relativistic expressions in general by just
replacing m --> gamma m.

Simple anyway. Did you find in school that you could get
a teacher to mark a paper correct by scrawling "this is
correct" across the top?

The first error in your simple diagrams occurs when you write
"t=1" and then try to say there's an inconsistency between
what is observed in the two frames at t=1.

You haven't fully defined the experiment, the nature of
the observation. And you're assuming "t=1" refers to the
same thing in both frames.

Then you go on to say, "look the beam is in two places at
once at t=1". And claim this is a prediction of SR.

Instead, what SR predicts is that the beam is in one place
when observer K says it is t=1, and in another place when
observer K' says it is t'=1. You have correctly shown that
the invariance of c requires that K and K' have different
rates of time flow.

Unfortunately, tunneling, as explained in the quoted blurb,
requires a cat to be in two places at once in that sense.
More precisely, it has a large probability of being inside the box
you put it in, and a smaller probability of being upstairs lapping
from its bowl even after you put it in the box, lock it up, and
throw away the key.

When the cat is an electron, this small probability multiplied
by a very large number of electrons becomes a measurable current.

The effect called "tunneling" doesn't involve a drill. It
is more like putting a stack of billiard balls in a sealed
steel box on the second floor and having a small percentage
of them appear on the first floor.

Do you know what tunneling is? Do you know what "classical" means?
It doesn't mean "modeled with math".

The term "tunneling" refers to a phenomenon where something
has a finite probability to appear on the other side of a
barrier. In a classical world, things do not spontaneously
appear on the other sides of walls. In quantum mechanics,
there is a nonzero probability that exactly that will happen.

This is not a mechanical switch.

There are no moving parts in a chip which is encased in
plastic. The plastic is to prevent things from moving. Motion
is bad in a transistor. It breaks your little wires.

No, for ppl capable of reading formulas, it translates to: The Density
of Lead is 11340 kilogramm per cubic meter.

The density of an material is defined as the mass of an object devided
by the volume of the object.
Note: Differenct objects of same material will give same density.

Randy, it's ok that you try to pull this off, but you have to

In classical mechanics, a wall that can be transversed by a
particle is not a solid wall to it anymore.

That is the very beginning of your long repeated copy-and-paste,
the part where I can still follow what you're trying to say.

You draw a couple of lines with propagating light beams at t=0,
t=1 and t=2 and say something about "this mathematical absurdity..."

It is at that point where you have left SR and any claims to be
showing inconsistencies with SR. You haven't defined the absurdity,
but it seems to be that the light beam is predicted to be in
two places at once at t=1. It is not. However, the location
when K says t=1 and K' says t'=1 are different.

> i first use the
> Lorentz formula according to Einstein which defines at t=1 t'=gamma*1,

Not in the diagram I refer to, which you claim is an "SR
absurdity".

> you will notice this in the below to-scale diagram:

No I won't. I can't make heads or tails of this diagram or what
it is trying to show. It has the words "Lorentz time
dilation" written on it. Beyond that, I can't tell what it
is supposed to be a diagram of or what it is supposed to
be showing.

Instead of drawing your incomprehensible pictures, you might
try writing down some equations and defining some terms.

In particular, as I have said repeatedly, define the events
that make up the experiment.

For instance: "The light beam hits point B and emits a signal
which is detected by K and by K'..." Then we have several
well defined events, like the hitting of point B and the
detection by the observers. And we can use Newton or Einstein
to calculate things about those events.

Just in case you're really curious and actually want to learn

In classical mechanics (normal good math if you will) it's a mathematical
absurdity. Then i go on to see if SR resolves this absurdity. It does not.
Conclusion: SR=fataly-flawed.

You are looking for fuzzpoints aren't you :).
Sorry, there might not be much you can work with, it's all using liquid
tube devices with a single clock on them.

Here:

Investigation into length contraction and time dilation, K is a coordinate
system, K' is a coordinate system in movement with respect to K in the
direction of Ks positive x axis with a speed of 1 unit distance per 1
unit time. First we investigate the problem without using SR, then
we involve SR and see if it resolves the issues.

One note in advance: the 'object' we are dealing with is a lightbeam,
and it's measured using the following type of device:

+light detector light detector+
|\____________________________________________________________/|
|______________________________O_______________________________|
clock ^liquid filled tube

You can imagine this device accross all diagrams, spanning the
distance the light has traveled, so it travels in effect from
detector to detector. The device works on soundwaves, if a detector
detects light, it sends a soundpulse through the liquid to the
clock. The distance between the clock and both detectors is the
same and of the same shape.

Speeds are the same numerically in both coordinate systems: 3 ticks
per time.

That's one solution, but it doesn't work:

K'0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-1011121314151617181920
^-----------------------*
Which is 3 ticks in K per time, but (15-3=12)/2=6 ticks per time in K'.

Therefore length-contraction doesn't work and will never work to make
c a constant in all frames of reference, because it produces the oposite
results depending on whether the direction of the light was along or
head-on with the translation of the moving coordinate system. Like
time dilation, it is also in contradiction with the principle of relativity,
because you can't take one of the coordinate systems to be the preferred
frame, which produces the impossible *mutual* length-contraction, producing
paradoxes like the car which does or doesn't fall through a hole in the
road depending on your frame of reference.

Then there is time-dilation (well there isn't, but there is the hypotheses):

For K 6 distance for 2 time = 3 distance ticks for 1 time tick.
For K' 4 distance for 1 3/9 time tick = 3 distance ticks for 1 time tick.
So this works out, so it SEEMS.
But it doesn't because:

K -> (10-4=6) distance / 2 time = 3 distance per 1 time
K' -> (10-2=8) distance / 1 3/9 time = 6 distance per 1 time
3 <> 6

So time dilation produces oposite results for beams in the oposite
direction of the translation of the moving coordinate system, and
can therefore not make the speed of light a constant generally accross
reference frames which are moving with respect to one another.

A combination of the above two solutions to constancy of c (timedilation
lengthcontraction) will not work for the same reason that they don't work
in isolation either:

For a speed of the moving coordinate-system of '1' per '1'
time and a lightspeed of '3' per '1' time: 1 distance=100,000km, 1
time=1 sec. The Lorentz transformations give then a lengthcontraction of:

<quote Einstein>
x(beginning of the rod) = 0 (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5
x(end of the rod) = 1 (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5
</quote>

x' = x * (1 - v^2/c^2)^.5
Which comes out as:
x' = x * 0.942809041

Then the Lorentz timedilation effect:

<quote Einstein>
As judged from K, the clock is moving with teh velocity v; as
judged from this reference-body, the time which elapses
between two strokes of the clock is not one second, but
1/(1-v^2/c^2)^.5 seconds, i.e. a somewhat larger time. As a con-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sequence of its motion the clock goes more slowly thean when at
rest.
</quote>

Which comes out as
t' = t * 1/(1 - 100,000^2/300,000^2)^.5 = t * 1.060660172

Because of the constraints of usenet linelength we can only do t0 and t1
(the below is on scale):

Same story, you can compute yourself what the difference in position of
both hypothetical lightbeams is under the Lorentz-transformations.
If you do, you have disproved the validity of the Lorentz-transformations
yourself! (unless you subscribe to a world-splitting solution to SR, which
is not endorsed officially).

Suppose 1/3rd of lightspeed movement for the moving coordinate system,
light starts at t,x=0,0

Since you have two frames of reference moving with respect to each other,
an object cannot move with the same speed in both frames (unless it is
travelling at c, which would be the edge case). Your premise is flawed,
and the rest of your thought experiment invalid. Please try again.
