Can you imagine that:

In a space-war a laserbeam can have the same speed relative to the moon,
as an astronaut running away from the beam on the moon.

Einstein claims he can, while he also claims he cannot understand the
concept of "space" ('relativity', A.E. (1916), chapter 3), and he cannot
imagine a photon/lightbeam going at zero velocity relative to him.

However, having waves travel at zero relative velocity relative to you
is nothing new in nature, it happens when you walk past a lake, or fly
with mach-1 in a plane.

The 1way-1beam-multiobserver-lightspeed-constancy-in-a-vacuum behaviour
of light is claimed as fact, even though it is unimaginalbe, and there
zero evidence for it (we can't even measure the 1way speed of light yet).

This starting hypotheses is the archilles heel on which the entire modern
scientific establishment builds it's theoretical structure.

Just so you know what you are getting into.

The sum of two velocities V1 and V2, any two velocities, is (V1 +
V2)/[1 + (V1)(V2)/c^2)] One adds a cos(theta) term for when they
don't come at each other 180 degrees full on face to face. You don't,
of foruse, but people with working minds do.

The universe doesn't care if you are stooopid, except to crush you
without taking notice.

Some velocity much less than c on the moon, and less
than c in all frames.

Why should we imagine these two different numbers to
be the same?

Our resident expert*, josX, is talking about the speed of light being the
same relative to the spaceship, and the astronaut on the ground. He isn't
talking about the velocity of the astronaut being that of light.

Postulate-2:
<'relativity' Einstein (1916) chapter 7>
(...)
In short, let us assume that the simple law of the constancy of the
velocity of light c (in vacuum) is justifiably believed by the child at
school. Who would imagine that this simple law has plunged the
conscientiously thoughtful physicist into the greatest intellectual
difficulties? Let us consider how these difficulties arise.
(...)
For, like every other general law of
nature, the law of the transmission of light /in vacuo/ must, accord-
ing to the principle of relativity, be the same for the railway
carriage as reference-body as when the rails are the body of
reference.
(...)
</quote>

I care to note that the law Einstein gave as the law the children
believe, is "the speed of light is 300,000km/sec in vacuo", and not
into what he changes it later without any justification: "the speed
of light is a constant in vacuo".

Like any good liar, he carefully writes around his main lie, making
sure he never gives the full blow of it in one sentence alone.

Very good of you to ask for a quote Randy, Bravo! You are a critical
man.

[Grammatical aside]
Your sentence was improperly formed. Bravo on your command of English,
but this sentence does not say what you apparently intended.

Apparently you meant the velocity of the beam as measured by
the astronaut. This construction: "... laserbeam can have the
same speed relative to the moon... as an astronaut running
away..." says that the laserbeam has the same speed as
the astronaut. To convey what you apparently meant, you
would need to repeat the word "relative" or the word "to".

"laserbeam can have the same speed relative to the moon

as to an astronaut..."
or


"laserbeam can have the same speed relative to the moon

and relative to an astronaut...

I could only wish that I could speak another language so
well as to be concerned with such minor nuances.
[end of grammar lesson]

Anyway, in response to that version of the sentence, of
course I say "yes, I can imagine that, and so could
Einstein."

Yes, here he states that in order for this observation to
be true, there are drastic consequences. For both
observers to measure the same velocity, their measurements
of time, length, and simultaneity are all dependent on
relative motion. Those are consequences of this postulate,
and are testable.

There is no problem in imagining that this is the result of
the measurement, though. The question is, where does it
lead?

Do you believe that constant has a numerical value? What
do you think that number is?

Why do you think that these two statements are different?

I count as many frames as i want, because you can attach a coordinate
system to anything you want, including to empty space in whatever
relative velocity to anything you desire.

And to the point, within the SR-hallucination: 1 frame only is necesary
if you want to measure the speed of a man-in-a-train-wrt-the-train and
of a man-in-a-train-wrt-the-train, and of the train, you can take all
measurements from one frame (for instance the track-frame), then conclude
that velocity-of-man-wrt-track = velocity-of-man-wrt-train + velocity-of-
-train.

Now troll somebody else with your SR nonsense.

Try the hammer trick, it works every time; if you believe in SR, you
are in serious need of it.

Do you know how mirical-workers get to do right predictions ?
One trick is to have the sick you are going to heal working for you.
Another that i once saw is have your accompliss tell you the stuff
you need to know over a radio-line directly to your ear. There is many
ways you can pull a lot of thing off.

If you see a counterfitted dollar bill which was red, would you accept
it even though it looks perfect otherwise ?
This is the same situation applied to science, the theory is thoroughly
unthinkable, unreal, selfcontradictory, see for yourself.

The Number One physics misconception of all time: It is
meaningful to attach a reference system to empty space!

If we could meaningfully attach a reference frame to
"space," there would be no relativity in physics!!!!!

OK, jos, tell us how to do this trick.

As I understand it, that is precisely what he had imagined.

He then decided that the imagined consequences of such a situation
conflicted with observation and that therefor such a situation could not
occur in nature.

Is that a fundamental postulate of mechanics? I thought the number of

I am interested in measurement. The point is: if I measure the velocity
of the man in the frame of the train, and I know the velocity of the train
relative to the ground, how many reference frames were employed in the
measurement?

But please, say VELOCITY since light is a vector
therefore, any respect to the scalar must automatically

Comparing it to masses of stuff is not kewl.

Rod: Yes we can.
You are making your brain silly working on this.
Two dudettes are throwing a ball to and fro on
a moving train in front of your stationary butt. :)
If you use the background in your frame of ref.
to measure how far the ball traveled, then compare
this with how far the ball traveled in the train frame,
you will notice how stupid the comparing really
is wrt distance.
Yet, you and the train will measure the velocity as B, for ball,
as the same.:)
There is a transfer of momentum to the ball just as there
is for the light.
More to the point, there is a transfer of energy to the
ball as to the light.

You don't understand SR, you don't understand what "relative speed"
means. Little suprise, because ignorance about SR is all that keeps
it up in the air. Learn it, and you will know it is insane.

So, PLEASE LEARN it!

Allow me to try to explain:
Relative speed is the speed something has relative to you.
You ride in a train, that means a trainstation has speed of 100km/h
for you for instance. The trainstation is NOT standing still, it moves
rapidly. The *train* IS standing still relative to you, the speed of
the train is zero (0) if you sit in the train. That is what relative speed
is about.

Now, a biker goes past the road at 15km/h with the direction of the train.
Do you know what the relative velocity of the biker is relative to the
train ?

Answer: 85 km/h
The relative speed of the biker relative to the train is 85 km/h.

What does special relativity say?
Postulate-2 (because Einstein couldn't imagine a lightbeam going at
zero relative velocity relative to him)

"The speed of light is the same relative to every inertial observer, it
must be 300,000km/sec"

Understanding it, is knowing it is an insanity.
Understand: relative velocity
Understand: what SR says
You just don't realize what SR says, and that's why you can believe in it.
It's not me with the bastard version, it's all of you, you just cannot
comprehend this is an insanity, you cannot believe this is actually what
is being said (probably because you are expecting something rational from
science, and if you don't get it, it must be your mistake).

Just read a book, learn SR, you'll see.
You want me to quote something to proof this is what SR says? just ask.
The resident SR-trolls will agree with me btw, that this is it(!), but
they are not here to do science, they are here to maintain the faith of
the faithfull, that's you all. They know it's wrong, that it's completely
and utterly wrong. But they benifit, that's all there is to it. And you
buy their stories without hesitation ! Stupid people.

Being obstinate ?

We can move on when you understand the normal view on velocities first.
If you cannot comprehend the normal view (with which SR agrees as a
border case i remind you), then there is no hope that you can understand
SR, and if you cannot understand SR, you cannot see how it is wrong.

If you don't undertand "relative speed", you will not understand what
"the speed of light relative to everything is the same" means.

Biker: 15km/h over road past tracks
Train: 100km/h over tracks
Station: 0km/h relative to tracks
Road: 0km/h relative to tracks

What is the speed of the biker relative to the train (you can round your

Do you notice that speed is not the same speed as relative to the road?

That answers your bogus example with the ball on the train. The ball
DOES have different speeds relative to track and train. You didn't notice
because you didn't understand the concept "relative speed" (i guessed).

That is not a very original idea, is it?
It is exactly what everyone has been telling you ;-)

But lets scrutinize this and make a synopsis:

josX who does not understand SR, explains to Rod Ryker,
who does not understand SR either, that SR is wrong for
reasons that Rod cannot understand until he mis-understands
SR the same way as josX does. So first the levels of
mis-understanding must match before real communication
can take place.

Absolutely brilliant indeed :-))))

If you don't undertand "relative speed", you will not understand what


"the speed of light relative to everything is the same" means.

Biker: 15km/h over road past tracks
Train: 100km/h over tracks
Station: 0km/h relative to tracks
Road: 0km/h relative to tracks

What is the speed of the biker relative to the train (you can round your
answer on 0 decimals) ?

I think we need to start learning physics all over here.
Todays lesson: "relative speed", what does it mean.

Then we will go on examining waves and particles/objects where we can
have no confusion about, and see how they behave. We will exclude from
this, hypotheses which have no basis in experimental results (such as
postulate-2 of relativity-theory). Then we will ask the question how
likely it is for something to deviate from the described behaviour of
known waves/particles/objects, and what the results are under general
mathematic principles of good science. We will then introduce Lorentz
and discover why he doesn't help Einstein, we will examine Einsteins
rationale for relativity-of-simultaneity and discover a logical error.
Then we will examine various unsolvable paradoxes, and conclude that
we already have wasted too much time on an unproven hypotheses of a
man who could not imagine something moving at zero velocity with him,
while these things clearly DO happen in nature all the time. Then we
will examine why this man is listened to, and revered so often, and
hypothesize that it may be due to the promoting work of physisists,
the name of the theory and how it is presented in the media (as if it
is about "relativity", about which it is not!). Then we will examine
the braincapacity of the scientific community in investigating on which
the build mathematics, and we will discover that their system is wholly
void of rationale or reality, and that indeed, they are thoroughly stupid.

Then we will see what people chose: the easy way out "no, that can't
happen", and go hystorious. Or if they will say "yeah damn, there isn't
a shred of evidence for postulate-2, from which the whole modern physics
hangs as from a non-existing thread".

This course is free, and completely scientific (demanding proof and rationale
of everything).

Oposing this, are the SRians, who peddle in postulate and fuzzbabble.

The choice is up to the people :).

Neither of them are moving at light speed, so what is your point?
Why don't you perform the same calculations using relativistic
velocity addition? I know you don't believe in relativity, but please,
indulge us: do the same calculations using relativistic velocity addition,
and let us know what you get.

Now listen, junior:
The ball has mass where there can be a transfer
of momentum.
Light has no mass and hence, there can be no transfer
of momentum.
While it is true that light is a vector, light has no mass.
Vector addition (classic) is irrelevant.
Stop treating mass less objects as though they have mass.
EM Waves are in their own class, and we are hopeful,
that you and others will _learn_ and understand. :):):)

Can you imagine that:

In a space-war, a laserbeam can have the same speed relative to the moon,
as relative to an astronaut running away from the beam on the moon.

Einstein claims he can, while he also claims he cannot understand the


concept of "space" ('relativity', A.E. (1916), chapter 3), and he cannot
imagine a photon/lightbeam going at zero velocity relative to him.

However, having waves travel at zero relative velocity relative to you


is nothing new in nature, it happens when you walk past a lake, or fly
with mach-1 in a plane. We are not merely talking in Einstein case about
waves in your body, we are talking about waves ... /everywhere in the
universe/.

The 1way-1beam-multiobserver-lightspeed-constancy-in-a-vacuum behaviour


of light is claimed as fact, even though it is unimaginalbe, and there
zero evidence for it (we can't even measure the 1way speed of light yet).

This starting hypotheses is the archilles heel on which the entire modern

It makes no difference if light is a wave or particle for this.
If the girls were wrestling with a rod, the shockwaves would travel
relative to the rod which is moving with the train, if someone
takes a bath on the train, the waves in the bath have a difference
velocity for the bader then for someone on the track.

Light's supposed masslessness is only hypothesized to get rid of
paradoxes. Completely arbitrarily, you suddenly "are not allowed" to pu
a coordinate system with it's origin at a ligthparticle (because it
would contract to zero lenght, and you don't want people to notice).

In true physics, co-ordinate systems are not things that influence
the world, and they can be attached to everything and anything, including
free-moving in whatever way you like, including FTL.

>While it is true that light is a vector, light has no mass.

Makes no difference, waves and particles all have difference when it
comes to relative speed: everything changes it's relative speed to you
when you start moving, or compare relative speeds of objects with someone
moving relative to you.

EM Waves have no proof that they are in their own class, i am hopefull
that over time relativity will erode away completely.

The science-way to do things would be to say "ok, you beat my arguments,
now i'll adopt yours", and then go again from the other side.

Why don't you play, you do already know what "relative speed" means now.

Afraid you will lose the argument and "should" adopt the anti-SR opinion

Hey Junior!

Light must have momentum.

It does not exist at all!

Josx is a quite insane and out of touch. That is what happens when you
live in Zeta World for too long. His symptoms are similar to a condition
known as blindsight. The unfortunate sufferers of this derangement are
actually blind, but they are convinced that they see. They stumble about
believing their internal hallucinations are actually a reflection of the
state of the world. If Josx would stop wasting disk space, we might even
get around to having pity for this loon.

No,
it's not true and has never been proven
and the experimnets with light all show a "mass in momentum"
other wise you are taking a "nothing moving" and measuring a
nothing moving.

Hint,
light is made of electron vibrations.
and those vibrations need mass to vibrate at all,
or you don't get any light at all.


>However, child of my domain, there is transfer of energy from

a vibration,
big whoop.
It's a simple transfre just like sound,
but mnay less frequencies and much higher
propagation speeds.


>IOW's, an energy to energy transfer.
>And this should be your focus.
>If you know your place. :):):)

I know my place,
my place is "placing the REAL back in the physic.
so far you have no REAL cause for that momentum.
Until you accept it as a mass.

your delusion is centered around relativity again. Frankly, I think you
