This experiment involves a light source and a mirror.

The source emits pulses of light towards the mirror, which is moving at v
towards it, as measured in the source frame.

According to SR, both the incoming and reflected pulses move at c in the source
frame. They 'close on' the mirror at c+v and leave it at c-v.

Can any Einstein supporter show the world how, under these circumstances, the
incident and reflected speeds of the pulses can be equal when measured in the
mirror frame.

Multiply (c+v) by (c-v) which almost squares the result,
so divide by c^2 and then take the root of that, then take
the inverse and you'll have a fudge factor that unifuckates
c+v and/or c-v to c.

c = (c+/-v) / sqrt( (c+v) *(c-v) / c^2)
c = (c+/-v) / sqrt( (c^2-v^2) / c^2)
c = (c+/-v) / sqrt( c^2/c^2 - v^2/c^2)
c = (c+/-v) / sqrt( 1 - v^2/c^2)

An Einstein supporter like you should have no trouble
unifuckating as your hero Einstein did.

Wilson unifuckation "proves" Einstein right.

2nd SR postulate.

Alternatively you could apply Lorentz Transformations to verify that
both speeds are c in the mirror frame. There is no much point to do
it since SR postulates are equivalent to LTs (and are coherent). Anyway
it could be a good exercise for *you* who happen to have never applied
LTs to a single case in your whole miserable life.

It is by assumption, Ralph.

Aha! Now we know that the whole of Einstein's theory is based on 'proof by

Thanks for yet another demonstration of Rabbidgian logic. :-)

It goes like this:
Since I, Ralph Rabbidge with the fake degrees assert that the speed
of light transforms according to the Galilean transform, Einstein is
proven wrong. So there!!!

This is actually very easy. I've shown here several times how to apply
LTs on various cases. It's about *you*, Ralph: you've *never* applied
LTs to any single case.

In the source frame the light is moving at c (as in all inertial frames) and
the mirror at v, so yes, the closing speed between the light and mirror as
calculated by a source-frame observer is c+v incoming and after reflection
the separation speed as calculated by a source-frame observer is c-v.

> Can any Einstein supporter show the world how, under these circumstances,

In the mirror frame the light is moving at c (as in all inertial frames) and
the mirror is at rest, so yes, the closing speed between the light and
mirror as calculated by a mirror-frame observer is c incoming and after
reflection the separation speed as calculated by a mirror-frame observer is
c.

Closing and separation speed, just like times and distances, and velocities
and momentum etc, are all relative in SR. So different observers will
measure different speeds.

The clocks in the source frame used to measure closing/separating speeds of
c+v and c-v, but the clocks in the mirror frame are synchronized differently
(so in the source frame they would appear to read different times instead of
the same time), and so give different values for those speeds

So ... basically you are saying you've proved SR to be wrong because you
need someone to explain the second postulate to you. Only a proof that you
don't understand SR .. not that we needed another one.

Perhaps Henry will present the math that shows that applying the Lorentz
transforms does NOT make the speeds equal in the mirror frame :) Of course,
Henry thinks* that all "applying LTs" means nothing other than reducing all
lengths by a factor and slowing all times by a factor !!

(* actually Henry doesn't think nearly often enough nor deeply enough ..

This is not an "experiment", it is a gedanken. The difference is CRUCIAL. That
is, no actual equipment is used, and no measurements are actually made; instead,
the described physical situation is analyzed using theories of physical behavior.

Yes, where the closing speeds are measured in the source frame. It is ALWAYS
necessary to state from which perspective such statements are made (closing
speeds are not measurements, they are calculations).

By "frame" I assume you mean INERTIAL frame, with source and
mirror at rest in their respective frames. I also assume vacuum
in all light paths (except for source and mirror). I further
assume some method of measuring the light pulses that does not
negate these assumptions (in a gedanken I can do that, even
though it cannot be done in the real world).

To measure their speeds in the mirror frame requires an observer at rest in the
mirror frame, using clocks and rulers at rest in the mirror frame. These clocks
and rulers are identical to the clocks and rulers at rest in the source frame,
but are NOT congruent to them (that is: when one measures the distance between a
given pair of events [#] using source-frame rulers, one gets a different value
than if one measured the distance between the same events using mirror-frame
rulers; similarly when one measures the time between a given pair of events
using source-frame clocks, one gets a different value than if one measured the
interval between the same events using mirror-frame clocks).

NOTE: in general one must use multiple clocks; in all cases
the clocks at rest in a given frame are synchronized in that
frame before being used for any measurements.

[#] an event is an idealized happening at a definite place
and time. Here are examples: light pulse #357 is emitted
by the source, light pulse #357 is reflected by the mirror.

The relationships among measurements by source-frame and mirror-frame clocks and
rulers are described by the Lorentz transform between the source and mirror
frames. A direct consequence of these relationships is that ALL light rays are
measured to propagate with speed c, in BOTH the source frame and the mirror
frame. This means the incident and reflected speeds of the pulses ARE equal when
measured in the mirror frame. It also means the incident and reflected speeds of
the pulses ARE equal when measured in the source frame. And it also means that
both of those measured speeds ARE equal to c.

Note: I am not really an "Einstein supporter". Rather, I
am a physicist. That is, I STUDY physics and use the theories
which best model the physical phenomena of the world. For this
sort of question by far the best model is Special Relativity
(no other theory comes close, except for theories
indistinguishable from SR).

Listen Ralph, this is a direct consequence of the 2nd postulate of SR.

On another hand, postulates of SR implies LTs.

So either you're able to check by *yourself* that LTs are consistent
with your gedanken or is not, or you are not able to apply LTs at all
because of your math/physics deficiency.

All of us (but you, John Parker aka Androcles, mpc and others cranks)
have done this a million times, have this a dozen times on this very
newsgroup.

Come on Ralph, write down coordinates of relevent events here (they are
three of them) in emission frame, then apply LTs to get their
coordinates in mirror frame, then conclude by yourself.

Are you so a chicken?

The whole of Einstein's theory was based on gedankens. It was derived without

That is plainly not true.

Neither the clocks nor the rulers used by the Mirror Observer have to be
related in any way to those used by the GO.

The MO uses ONE rod of arbitrary length and TWO clocks, A and B that are
e-synched by him. That is, tAB = tBA using two light sources that are at rest
with the clocks.
The experiment has to show that the MO also finds tAB = tBA using the pulses,
THE SOURCE OF WHICH IS NOT AT REST WITH THE CLOCKS or Einstein is proved wrong.

What do you hope to achieve by reiterating the second postulate over and over?
You have not made one concrete or meaningful statement. Where is the proof?

You're not a physicst. You might claim to be some kind of specialist
mathematician, nothing more.

Now, please show me the math that shows the incident and reflected pulses move
at the same speed wrt the moving mirror IN THE MIRROR FRAME....or accept and
admit that Einstein's theory is wrong.

Cop's car radar is neither measuring closing speed between the car and
cops as seen in road's frame, nor measuring car speed relative to the
road but is measuring the relative speed of the car relative to the
radar.

Then there is actually a calculation to obtain the relative speed of the
car relative to the road. You could use Newton's or Einstein's formula
as you wish, since it can be proven they'll give the same results given
that neither the car or the cops are moving near light speed relative
to the road.

The latter was written by the head ass who STILL doesn't understand
the equation he repeatedly asks about even though (as he admitted) it
was totally and correctly explained to him MANY months ago.
Perhaps his ongoing ignorance is fathered by his failure to
understand that it is ALWAYS necessary to state which frame of
reference made the measurements he keeps asking about.

No .. it used gedankens as examples.

Until it was tested a multitude of times with experiment and equipment and

Fine .. Sr's postulates guantee that it will (we are doing an SR analysis of

It is a gedanken you know. So when you analyze it in terms of a particular
theory (SR in this case), you must assume *everything* that that theory says
applies. And the theory says that the times must be the same, because the
light travels at c incoming and c reflected relative to the mirrors inertial

You can't "prove" something wrong with a gedanken, *unless* the gedanken

The second postulate of SR says the speeds of light in the mirror frame is
c. Thaat is all the proof one needs for a gedanken being analyzed in terms
of SR

Thie mirror does not move in the mirror frame .. it is a stationary mirror
in the mirror frame. The laws of reflection say that the outgoing light
must reflect at the same speed as the incoming light .. and as the speed of
incoming light is c (by the 2nd postulate) the speed of outgoing light must
be c .. and that is consistent with the 2nd postulate

It is not*. If it is, prove it to be wrong. Proving a theory to be wrong
is possible (proving it correct is not).

(* meaning that it has been experimentally tested many times and never been
refuted and is logically self-consistent)

Any measurement of speed requires a calculation. eg. you measure a
distance, and measure an elapsed time and calculate the speed by division.

But a closing speed is as much a measurement as any other speed. You can
measure it by measuring the change in distance between two objects and the
time elapsed between those measurement. Then calculate the speed by
division.

So Androcles is correct in criticizing Tom on that particular point.

Any measurement of speed requires a calculation. eg. you measure a

distance, and measure an elapsed time and calculate the speed by division.

Some devices may read a speed, but there is implicit calculation in their
calibrations to do so.

A closing speed is as much a measurement as any other speed. You can
determine it by measuring the change in distance between two objects and the

time elapsed between those measurement. Then calculate the speed by
division.

The area of conflation that is a problem is assuming that a closing speed
has the same meaning as speed. Speed is the a measure of how the position
of an object changes over time, relative to a frame of reference. Closing
speed is a measure of how the difference in positions between two objects,
relative to a frame of reference, changes over time. They are very
different concepts.

It is just that in our relatively slow macro world we experience every day,
where Gallilean transforms are usually so close to the correct LT transform
that we can't measure the difference, that speed and closing speed seem to
be so simply related. Our intuition tells us that the same applies in all
situations .. experiment (and nature) tells us otherwise.

Actually, this experiment is not quite as clear as my original one.
Here is the original one again:

A light source emits pulses of light towards two clocks and a mirror that are
moving towards the source at v. The clocks are rigidly joined and the mirror is
connected to C2. In the source frame, they appear as follows:

S----------------------------------------------------v<--C1___d___ |M,C2

The clocks are E-synched in the mirror frame. That is, their readings and rates
are made the same by sending time signals from each clock towards the other and
adjusting one accordingly.

According to SR, all light moves at c in the source frame.

In the experiment, a light pulse is emitted by S towards mirror, M. The
two clocks register their readings as the pulse passes them.

C1 reads t0 when the pulse initially passes by. C2 reads t1 when the pulse
reaches the mirror. C1 reads t2 when the reflected pulse passes on the return
trip.

In the source frame, the pulse's travel time between C1 and C2 on the forward
trip is d/(c+v). The clocks NUMERICALLY read t0 and t1 as the light passes.
After reflection, its travel time between C2 and C1 is d/(c-v) and the clocks
record the numbers t1 and t2.

According to SR, the pulse should also move at c in the mirror frame both
before and after reflection.
In that frame, the source is moving towards the mirror at v and the pulse will
therefore take the same time to travel between the two clocks in both
directions (for both SR and BaTh). Therefore, numerically, t1-t0 should equal
t2-t1. (The value should be d/c according to SR, d/(c+v) for BaTh.)

The task for relativists is to show how the pulse travel times between the
clocks can be the same in the mirror frame yet different in the source frame .

Why do you need math to show that c = c ?? The light is incident at c and
reflects at c in the mirrors frame of reference .. that comes directly from
SR's 2nd postulate. Do you really need math to show that light travelling
at c from A to B takes the same time as light travelling at c the same
distance from B to A ??

You would have to be the most ignorant moron here.
What happens to (1-v^2/c^2) when v decreases?
It is the fact that real morons like you support Einstein that virtually proves

Although that should be d / gamma rather then just d.

what makes this work is according to Lorentz the clocks C1 and C2 are
NOT synchronized in the source frame. Specifically C1 will lag C2 by
an offset determined by both d and v.
So what happens is this:
As seen from the source frame light takes a time d / gamma / (c + v)
to go from C1 to C2. This time is less than d / c but because C2 is
more advanced than C1 it records a later (larger) value for t1 by just
the right amount such that d / (t1 - t0) = c.
As seen from the source frame light takes d / gamma / (c - v) to go
from C2 to C1. This time is greater than d / c but because C1 lags C2
it records an earlier (smaller) value for t2 by just the right amount
such that d / (t2 - t1) = c.
Don't bother looking for a physical explanation of this effect (clocks
synchronized in one frame are not synchronized in other frames). There
is no explanation, this is just what has to be if the principle of the
constancy of the speed of light is correct.
Remember this is not proof of anything, it's just a description of
what SR says about this scenario.

I don't care about physical explanations, there is no mathematical

needs to derive it first.

gamma = sqrt[(c-v)(c+v)/c^2]

Very good, Henri!! Having gone that far, take the next step and you

> <According to SR, all light moves at c in the source frame.
In the experiment, a light pulse is emitted by S towards mirror, M.
The two clocks register their readings as the pulse passes them.
C1 reads t0 when the pulse initially passes by. C2 reads t1 when the
pulse reaches the mirror. C1 reads t2 when the reflected pulse passes
on the return trip.
In the source frame, the pulse's travel time between C1 and C2 on the
forward trip is d/(c+v). The clocks NUMERICALLY read t0 and t1 as the
light passes.  After reflection, its travel time between C2 and C1 is
d/(c-v) and the clocks record the numbers t1 and t2.
According to SR, the pulse should also move at c in the mirror frame
both before and after reflection. In that frame, the source is moving
towards the mirror at v and the pulse will therefore take the same
time to travel between the two clocks in both directions (for both SR

and BaTh) {???}. Therefore, numerically, t1-t0 should equal t2-t1.


(The value should be d/c according to SR, d/(c+v) for BaTh.)
The task for relativists is to show how the pulse travel times

For the record, "implies" is "if A then B"
or
if A = TRUE then B = TRUE.

If it rains I'll take my umbrella.
IF "it rains" = TRUE THEN "I'll take my umbrella" = TRUE.

"It rains" (A) "I'll take my umbrella" (B) A=>B


T T T
T F F

F T undefined.
F F undefined.
Taking my umbrella when it doesn't rain is valid.
The contrapositive (NOT B => NOT A) is:
IF I do not take my umbrella THEN it will not rain.
I can neither cause rain nor not cause rain by carrying
an umbrella as Carnap and Mendelson seem to imagine.

This is meaningless, il looks like the BASIC if/then

even correct since "=" would have different meaning behing
"IF" (equality) and "THEN" (variable set).

You are all missing the point.

We have a situation whereby the travel times for a light pulse to go from
points A to B and from B to A are UNEQUAL in the ground frame yet EQUAL in the
mirror frame.

This directly violates Einstein's first postulate, which says that the laws of
physics are the same in ALL FRAMES.

P1 insists that two entities which are the same in one frame must be the same
in ALL frames whether or not they have different magnitudes in the different
frames.

So P2 leads to a violation of P1....and since P2 is a consequence of P1 we can
only conclude that the whole theory of Einstein is a bloody big joke..

This is of no consequence. t1, t0 and t2 are just number on the clocks.

Clocks synched in the source frame show that the forward and reflected travel
times are unequal in the source frame.

It is easy. In the mirror frame, the source is moving... the proof is trivial
from there...

However you are missiing the point, it is the fact that the times are UNEQUAL
in the source frame that matters.

correct. And like I said this a consequence of the principle of the
constancy of the speed of light. In other words, this is what must be
for the speed of light to be the same constant value in both frames.

No. travel time is not a physical law. Not only is there no physical
law that says travel time has to be the same in all frames there is a
specific physical law (the principle of the constancy of the speed of
light) that says they must be different in different frames.

no it doesn't. Again, "entities" are not physical laws. And how can
two entities be the same and have different magnitudes? What do you
mean by entity?

Yes. In the frame of the source, the speed of light is c as it
approaches the mirror.
If you want to know what the speed of this same signal is in the
mirror frame, you do the appropriate velocity transform:
(c+v)/(1+cv/c^2) = c(1+v/c)/(1+v/c) = c.

In the frame of the source, the speed of light is c as it departs form
the mirror.
If you want to know what the speed of this same signal is in the
mirror frame, you do the appropriate velocity transform:
(c-v)/(1-cv/c^2) = c(1-v/c)/(1-v/c) = c.

Now, I don't know why you expected that if the closing speed is c+v in

I don't know why you think that your failure to understand how nature
works, as described by relativity, amounts to a proof that the
description is wrong.

hate to explain to brick walls and the physic hates it also, but the
physic is just the physic and someone other than the 'pontificating

Can you describe the physical mechanism (not a/some physics) of how

how it eerily conforms only to subjective observation. You have
discounted the objectiveness of the physic.

Einstein died with a healthy doubt of his own very successful
theories. I don't see you relinquishing yours.

That's what you people are trying to make out even if you aren't aware of the
fact.

Newton's law of relativity applies to everything that contains L/T. Einstein
concocted his version to apparently apply only to light speed.

That's why you claim that P1 doesn't mean that two events which occupy EQUAL
time intervals in one frame can occupy DIFFERENT time intervals in another.

That is not a law of physics. Physics does NOT say that things that are

Objective observation, where the objectivity is determined by the
common result obtained by independent investigators using
complementary methods.

The second you start saying that observation is suspect and that
objective truth can be determined without reference or verification
from observation, you have stopped doing science.

No, it doesn't. The speed of light as measured in the source frame is
c, as I said above.

What you noted is that the *closing speed* between the mirror and the
light, as measured in the source frame, is c+v and c-v. P1 does NOT
say that the *closing* speed between light and another object must be
c in any frame.

Please learn what the postulate actually says.

Light speed is not a law of physics. Perhaps it would be useful for

of electrodynamics are indeed laws of physics. Can you think of

We are discussing the time taken for a light pulse to go from points A to B,
which are rigidly connected. In the points' frame, the pulse takes the same to
go from B to A.

Are you trying to tell me that this condition changes just because a lot of
different observers start moving around all over the universe.

However you are missing the point, it is the fact that the times are

from points A to B and from B to A are UNEQUAL in the ground frame yet

You -- and androcles -- completely missed Einstein's point, which is
that DESPITE the fact that a pulse will go from A to B of the moving
system at c-v AS PLOTTED BY the source frame, etc, it will go at c AS
PLOTTED BY THE MOVING SYSTEM itself.

Henry: This directly violates Einstein's first postulate, which says

Since the light pulse DOES travel at c AS MEASURED *IN* EACH GIVEN
SYSTEM, that obeys his first postulate.

Henry: P1 insists that two entities which are the same in one frame

magnitudes in the different frames.

They are. The question is Why are they? The answer is: Because
Einstein's 3rd postulate is that clocks of all systems must MEASURE
the speed of light as identical in their own system REGARDLESS of
their speeds relative to "the stationary system".

Henry: So P2 leads to a violation of P1....and since P2 is a

Einstein is a bloody big joke. >

What does "P1" and "P2" mean to you?
To me, P1 denoted Einstein's submitted paper, on June 30, 1905. P2
denotes his published paper, in late September, 1905. There is a
monumental difference between P1 and extensively revised P2.

The "joke" is that neither you nor any mathematician or physicist
ever discovered the five or seven or ten fatal errors in Einstein's
mathematics and/or his "logic".

A cursory read of the theory indicates that's WRONG. Perhaps you would have

What part of "laws of physics" do you not understand? It's a pity that
something so simple does not make any sense to you.

Why? Because you don't understand something?

Well, as I have pointed out already, the question is not that at all. That is
trivial by looking at it from the mirror frame. The real question is how can
the travel times be DIFFERENT in the source frame but the same in the mirror
frame?

When was it measured?

I don't care what Einstein's postulates say.
YOU tell me how the same two EQUAL time intervals can be UNEQAL in other
frames.
That violates P1.
