there is nothing in relativity that demands

You are an imbecile, special relativity deals with rotation.
It also deals with uniformly accelerated motion.

the point is that relativity is all about translation and

As you say everything is rotating or orbiting about something. Suppose
the entire universe is rotating. (One might discuss whether that
statement has meaning - I think it does)

A B


Suppose B is orbiting about A and has a peripheral speed v. A can do
calculations using relativity about clocks and rulers.

Suppose now A is rotating such that he always faces towards B. The
apparent speed of B is zero so A could assume B's clocks were going at
the same rate as A's. It is vital that A knows whether or not he is
rotating otherwise his interpretation of data is flawed. If the entire
universe is rotating he cannot tell by looking at background stars. If
the distance between A and B is 10billion light years a minute rotation
on the part of A would make for a massive error and there is no
experiment which could determine A's rotation to sufficient accuracy.

Any theory which predicts that something is affected by the speed of
something in the observers inertial frame has no practical application
in astronomy. You have no way of knowing whether something is red
shifted because it is travelling away from you and is Doppler shifted or
whether it is orbiting you and the redshift is due to time dilation.

Only if A is stupid and does not understand relativity. Apparently that

Hmmm. All A needs to do is compare himself to locally inertial frames.

Hmmm. It's not clear what it means for the "entire universe" to be "rotating".

There is also no consequence of such a minute rotation. So you are worried about
a non-problem. This becomes apparent as soon as one applies errorbars to the
measurements.

Your inability to perform QUANTITATIVE calculations enables you to make silly
statements like this. If an object that far away was "orbiting us" with speed
sufficient to give the redshift we observe, it would have an observable proper
motion, which is not observed.

Remember that Doppler shift is first order in v/c, while "time dilation" is
second order. This difference can be ENORMOUS.


Bottom line: as long as you choose to remain ignorant of modern physics, you
will remain mystified, and will continue to make incorrect statements like
these. You will probably be so mystified that you are unaware of your problem.
The only cure is to STUDY. As you clearly do not bother to do that, you should
find a hobby more suited to your abilities, as physics is clearly beyond you.

Your post is interesting. If A is unaware of his orbital motion he can
never make any prediction about B’s orbital motion. But since this is
a gedanken, A will always be able to measure his rotary motion, say by
using Foucault pendulum. Once A knows his angular speed and the
distance between A and B, it would be very easy for A to calculate
tangential velocity of B. Just by looking at background stars, A will
not be able to detect orbital motions.
Since light rays from B will be perpendicular to tangential velocity
of B, red shift will be transverse Doppler Effect as predicted by SR
and so, I think there cannot be any other red shift due to time
dilation.

i cant quite see how they relate, other than relativity concerns, the one
is not a differentiation of the other, is it?

as i see it, length contraction pops out as a direct consequence of high
speed near the speed of light and a limited speed of light

and also gravity, part of it tells that
1. objects should elongate like spaghetti in the local frame
2. then shrink as seen from outside zero gravity and so

time dilation however, occurs as a direct consequence of departure speed
(or arrival), or departure acceleration (also deceleration), not sure
about the acceleration; one must know which one is departing/ arrive and
which one stays at home

also gravity here do the same thing
1. time dilates in gravity (slow down)

remark that the twins may age equally if the one is left at home in strong
gravity!!

would you please tell me where am i not even wrong?

if the distance between A and B remains unchanged, what measurable

The crazy crank Einstein had to impulsively divide everything by

cos(phi).v/c)

http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/figures/img107.gif

As "Geschwindigkeit" means both speed and velocity in German, the lunatic
didn't realise v.cos(\phi) was a vector. With \phi = pi, cos(\phi) is zero
and there is no
transverse shift according to Doppler, but Einstein divides by his pet
expression
(instead of sqrt( 1 - [cos(\phi).v/c]^2)), where v is a vector in the
numerator and
a scalar in the denominator, resulting in the *artefact* of transverse
blueshift.

The blundering fool Einstein wouldn't (and didn't) pass a rookie year in

Idiot! Frames of Reference do not physically exist they are
mathematical abstractions *constructed* upon an object, a plank say -
typically at the origin. What your statement is saying is that he can
tell whether he is rotating by comparing his orientation, with an object
which isn't rotating. D'oh, if you can't tell whether you are rotating
how do you know whether that other object is rotating or not. You could
perhaps go to your local store and buy a non rotating plank together
with a long weight, a left handed spanner and some sky hooks.

Speed is relative; rotation isn't. In theory one can crudely determine
ones absolute rotation by means of Foucault pendulum or using a gyroscope.

OK let's do the calculations. If an object is 10billion light years away
and its peripheral speed is 0.5c Then in one year it will move
0.5 ly
ArcTan (0.5/10,000,000,000) = 0.000000002 degrees per year.

The angle would change by 0.000000002 degrees per year. If you are
rotating at that rate it would cancel the apparent "proper motion".
Do you believe that there is any way we can tell whether we are rotating
at that rate? If the entire universe is rotating and we are anywhere
near the centre of rotation then red shift would increase with distance
(according to SR) because the peripheral speed naturally increases with
distance for a fixed angular rotation.

Why should we assume that the universe has no net rotation? Rotation and
orbiting systems appear to be the norm in nature.

See my reply to Tom Roberts. It is a question of accuracy. Foucault
pendulum demonstrates that rotation is absolute but I doubt it is
capable of refinement to measure very small rotation values.

Transverse Doppler shift and Time dilation are one and the same
phenomena. One is simply the reciprocal of the other because frequency
is the reciprocal of time. Transverse Doppler is the change you get in
frequency due to time dilation.

You will have to explain what argument you are talking about. At the
north pole Foucault's pendulum will continue to swing in a constant
direction while the earth turns beneath it. It isn't a very accurate
means of providing a none rotating frame to compare the rotating frame
of the earth with (in will eventually stop swinging due to friction and
it is difficult to prevent the turning earth putting a twisting moment
on the rope) but it illustrates the point that it is possible to provide
a none rotating reference. One might perhaps put the pendulum in an
evacuated chamber and suspend it via a magnetic hinge to improve it. One
could produce something for use in deep space where gravity is replaced
with a permanent magnet and there are 3 pendulums at right angles. If
all 3 trace out the same unaltering swings then the device is not
rotating in any direction.

> linear motion is absolute, it require a force to

No if a force overcomes inertia it results in acceleration. Linear
motion is relative, acceleration is absolute. Acceleration can be
measured using an accelerometer without an external reference. Linear
motion only has meaning relative to something.

The difference between absolute measurement and relative measurement is
that for absolute measurement you can define zero for what is being
measured without reference to an external thing i.e. zero is not
arbitrarily chosen.

You said that speed is relative not rotation. In SR we talk about
inertial frame. Rotation is not an inertial frame. Tangential velocity
is changing direction and so it cannot be called inertial frame. In
fact it was pointed out by Tom that in spite of extreme angular
velocities in cyclotron, no time dilation was observed. So how can
there be time dilation in the clock of satellite? Why should there be
transverse Doppler Effect at all? I am talking about SR. Even if
direction of tangential velocity is constantly changing, v represents
component of linear motion. Is this component not subject to effects
of SR? I hope I will get answer to these questions.

You are of course right but what do you want to prove? According to

No you will have to explain.


what argument you are talking about. At the
north pole Foucault's pendulum will continue to swing in a constant

=======================================================
No Foucault's pendulum swings absolutely linearly true by Newton's
FIRST LAW and the Earth turns relatively beneath it, anywhere on Earth.

No
======
Yes. Linear motion is absolute from Newton's FIRST LAW, and I can "No" more
that you.


if a force overcomes inertia it results in acceleration.
==============================================
No that's my point, not yours.
No Foucault's pendulum is all about acceleration of the Earth, not the
pendulum which is only accelerated by rising and falling, so Foucault's
pendulum demonstrates linear motion is absolute by your own argument.


Linear
motion is relative, acceleration is absolute.
============================================
No acceleration is relative, linear motion is absolute.
No two cars accelerate side-by-side on a drag strip, one to 170 mph and the
other to 200 mph.
No in the same five seconds one accelerated to 30 mph more than the other,
so it had a relative acceleration of 44 fps per 5 seconds or 8.8 fps^2.
No if linear motion is relative then so is acceleration.

Acceleration can be
measured using an accelerometer without an external reference.
===================================================
No accelerometers measure force, they have an internal spring.
No speedometers measure the car wheel's absolutely relative motion without
any external reference.


Linear motion only has meaning relative to something.
=================================================
No force only has meaning relative to something, Newton's THIRD LAW.
"Whatever draws or presses another is as much drawn or pressed by that
other"
No learn basic Natural Philosophy.


The difference between absolute measurement and relative measurement is
that for absolute measurement you can define zero for what is being
measured without reference to an external thing i.e. zero is not
arbitrarily chosen.
Alfonso
==============================
No tip a calibrated aircraft accelerometer over on its side and it
reads -9.8 m/s/s in z and +9.8 m/s/s in x because it was calibrated to have
Earth's acceleration subtracted.
No it still reads 0 in y.
No you don't know the difference between force and acceleration. Neither did
Einstein so you are not alone. Acceleration is NOT equivalent to
force, I feel a force on my feet but I am NOT accelerating in Einstein's
elevator; his "Principle of Equivalence" is just more Einstein bullshit.

He's not right at all, he's confusing force with acceleration.
SR clearly states:
"If we assume that the result proved for a polygonal line is also valid for
a continuously curved line, we arrive at this result: If one of two
synchronous clocks at A is moved in a closed curve with constant velocity
until it returns to A, the journey lasting t seconds, then by the clock
which has remained at rest the travelled clock on its arrival at A will be
1/2 tv^2/c^2 second slow. Thence we conclude that a balance-clock at the
equator must go more slowly, by a very small amount, than a precisely
similar clock situated at one of the poles under otherwise identical
conditions."
That's not an inertial frame.
Einstein analysed (if you can call it that) along the x-direction and
concluded no contraction in the y- or z-directions (specifically stated :

"An analogous consideration—applied to the axes of Y and Z—it being borne in
mind that light is always propagated along these axes, when viewed from the
stationary system, with the velocity sqrt(c^2-v^2) gives us @tau/@y = 0,
@tau/@z = 0.
http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/figures/img26.gif,
and hence no time dilation in those directions either.
Don't be misled by the dingleberries who re-write their own versions of
Einstein's crap. He did not PROVE any result for a polygonal path, v (and c)
is a vector confined to the x-direction and not a speed.

Why do you bother to make up shit like this? This is simply not true, and there
are MANY experiments to the contrary.

"Time dilation" is an established fact. Without it, pion beams would be limited
to a few meters in length; both CERN and Fermilab have had pion beams on the
order of a kilometer long.

That is a blatant lie (assuming I am the "Tom" you refer to). Particle
accelerators are PRECISELY the places one sees time dilation (not the only
places, of course...).

It is your shit. I always thought that tangential velocity of a
rotating body can be treated as linear velocity for SR effect. In your
post you have mentioned about pions which are in linear motion. Is it
so difficult for you to understand difference between linear and
angular motion?
Unlike you defenders of SR, I never lie. I may forget or may
misunderstand but will never lie. There is no shit in my pant that I
need to hide. This problem is with you who cling to insane theory like
a possessed person. I have no time to dig up what you said. You said
something that particles even at about 10^19g in cyclotrons do not get
time dilated. To this remark I asked ‘then why satellite clock is time
dilated’. You never answered this question.

Not all newsreaders have killfiles.
The operating systems Windows 7 and Windows 8 support the newsreader
Windows Live Mail, which is free, and which supports a simple kill file
and a rather more extensive set of filters. I can (and do) colour code
respondents that I don't kill file, so Roberts is in red text, Henri Wilson
in purple, you and Alfonso and Mahipal are in green text, I am in blue.
Depending on my available time I respond to green adjacent to blue
first, then green, then purple, yellow and red last, or I may never get
to red.
Windows Live Mail functionality is inherited from the now obsolete
Outlook Express. The changeover from Windows XP to Windows Vista
is a huge one, larger than the changeover from Windows 3.0 to Windows
3.1 which switched from 16-bit to 32-bit in the early 1990s.
XP to Vista is 32-bit to 64-bit so we are talking of a hardware change, not
merely a software upgrade. After 2014 Microsoft will no longer support XP
and 32-bit products are already being phased out while others are duplicated
in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
The greater width enables faster processing with the same clock rate which
for physical reasons (capacitive and inductive coupling through size
reduction) is reaching its theoretical and practical limit. The faster you
clock a processor the hotter it gets and the smaller it needs to be, so
we are approaching melt down and the way out is parallel processing
or a mixture of parallel and pipeline (sequential) processing.

Kesler has made it to my (huge) killfile, I no longer see his posts as I
have no interest in his silly one-liners and attempts at being a smart-arse.
He'll come back with another pseudonym when enough people ignore

No, it is not. You simply made it up. Apparently you based it on your inability
to read what I actually wrote (see below).

This depends on the actual physical situation, and on what you are trying to do.

The equation for the "time dilation" of a particle depends only on the speed of
the particle relative to an inertial frame, and is independent of the particle's
acceleration. So for that there is no difference between linear and circular
motion (relative to the inertial frame used for reference).

There are other issues for which the tangential velocity of rotation is quite
different from a linear velocity; for example, the reciprocity of "time dilation".


> I never lie.

You just did up there. You even lie about your own lies.

That is JUST PLAIN WRONG. I never said anything remotely like that. You need to
learn how to read.


What I have said is QUITE DIFFERENT: the clock hypothesis has been confirmed for
MUONS in a STORAGE RING in which their proper acceleration is ~10^18 g. That is,
the "ticking" of the muons' internal "clocks" is unaffected by that
acceleration. But in the lab, relative to which the muons travel at 0.9994 c
around the ring, "time dilation" of course applies. [See Bailey et al,
referenced in the FAQ -- when combined with measurements of the muon lifetime at
rest it is a direct implementation of the twin scenario.]



You REALLY need to learn how to read, and how to remember what you have read.
Until you do, you will keep making stupid and incorrect statements. Indeed, most
of the fools and idiots around here who attempt to deny relativity have this
same disability. It simply is not possible to understand modern physics when you
are uneducated and illiterate; the ability to read is essential to curing both,
as is the ability to remember what you read.

This is just plain not true. You are only discussing YOUR OWN "mess", and that
fact that YOU do not "know the ups and downs".

Bottom line: special relativity is an excellent model of the world we inhabit,
within its (rather wide) domain of applicability. It is as solidly established
as any other physical theory. People like yourself who attempt to deny
relativity are merely uneducated, illiterate, or both (usually both). This is
YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEM, not any "problem" with the theory -- thousands of
physicists know and understand SR, and use it every day in their work.

You could learn about relativity and modern physics. But to do that you need to
STUDY. Until you do, you will just keep making stupid and incorrect statements
(as above). Simply posting nonsense to the 'net will not teach you anything.

Your last paragraph directly contradicts your trademark view.
According to you, theories in physics are just models to describe
observations. In short, there is no point in examining their
correctness. It also means that a theory can be logically incorrect
but as long as it serves the purpose of predictions, the point is not
important. When this is your view, why do you get upset when a theory
is denied or an inconsistency is pointed out?

How does YOUR inability to read affect anything I say? While I'm not sure what

ability does not affect me at all.

You have never pointed out any inconsistency in modern physics. You have
frequently pointed out inconsistencies in YOUR OWN MISUNDERSTANDING of modern
physics. But that is personal to you, and does not affect the rest of us, or
modern physics itself.

Dingle asked "What entitled Einstein to conclude from his [special
relativity] theory, that the equatorial, and not the polar clock worked
the more slowly?"

And the truth is that at the time there was no accepted answer to that
question - that did not prevent Dingle being subjected to ridicule for
asking it. Believers don't like heretics.

In fact "FROM HIS THEORY" there was no way to reach that conclusion. Of
course Einstein cannot be wrong so a dogma was required which would make
him correct.

The H&K experiment would have been impossible without a clear answer
to that question. They accepted an idea put forward by "Geoffrey
Builder" in 1958 - his paper being one of the references in the H&K paper.

So Dingle asked the question in 1972
H&K in 1986 quoted the earliest reference to this dogma they could find.

"It is important to emphasise that special relativity purports to
describe certain physical phenomena only relative to (or from the point
of view of) inertial reference systems, and the speed of a clock
relative to one of these systems determines its timekeeping behaviour
(G. Builder, 1958)."

The accepted answer therfore, was that it is only an inertial observer -
at the pole in the H&K case - who is entitled to hold a valid opinion
about the physical fact of the relative rates of the clocks. Any
observer whose state is not 'inertial' within a necessary degree of
precision can conveniently be assumed to automatically come to some
erroneous conclusion and can be ignored.

What is interesting is that while H&K quoted G Builder's 1958 paper a
statement in that same paper says:

"Thus we conclude that the relative retardation of clocks predicted by
the restricted theory does indeed compel us to recognise the causal
significance of absolute velocities ........ there is therefore no
alternative to the ether hypothesis" [1] :o)

Ooops!

"...what is being said here is extremely important because it proposes a
re-interpretation of one aspect of special relativity which it suggests
has been universally misunderstood, Paraphrased, it says that an
observer must be "at rest relative to an inertial frame of reference"
if the explanations of the physical observations are to be
meaningful;...this Relativity is not reciprocal." Scott Murray

Of Course relativists being relativists will claim that this has been an
inherent part of SR since 1905. Of course what Einstein should have said is:

"Thence we conclude that a balance-clock at the equator must go more
slowly, by a very small amount, than a precisely similar clock situated
at one of the poles under otherwise identical conditions when observed
by an observer at the pole. - we can totally ignore any conclusion which
the observer at the equator may come to."

But then we know that a clock at sea level at the equator keeps exactly
the same time as a clock at sea level at the pole contrary to Einstein's
prediction.

We also know that Essen who designed the atomic clocks H&K used pointed
out in a letter to the Journal which had published the H&K paper that
the clocks were not sufficiently accurate to support H&K's claims - the
Journal refused to publish it.

Several decades later when the raw data was released it did not - when
subjected to correct analysis - support the conclusions reached.

So much for integrity

Einstein did not use the term "Lorentz contraction" although some

direct contradiction to his transformation equation for lengthening,
xi = (x-vt) / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
eta = y

By agreeing to use the term "contraction" you are again putting

The fact that all aspects of the Einsteinian Relativity models haven't
been fully-appreciated by everybody who's written about them during
the last 107 years (including the models' inventor), is IRRELEVANT to
what the models say.

There's no problem whatsoever with how Einstein's models address any
of Kennaugh's wishful-thinking "inconsistencies".

This is just plain wrong. SR can be applied to non-inertial systems and
coordinates. This is just ordinary mathematics, though differential geometry can
be used to greatly simplify the analysis.

Stop trying to describe what SR says until you STUDY it and learn what it
ACTUALLY says -- your GUESSES have always been wrong.


> There is no such thing as an inertial FoR so SR cannot be applied Q.E.D :o)

Physics is not about the sort of "absolute truth" that you seek. In the REAL
world, any measurement has an errorbar, and theories can only be tested and
applied within those errorbars. Here on earth, there are LOTS of experiments for
which the analysis can be performed in an inertial frame, such that the error
involved in the use of an APPROXIMATELY inertial frame is negligible compared to
the errorbars of the measurements. This includes most tabletop optical
experiments, and all elementary-particle experiments.

Here "error" is used in the sense of uncertainty, not "mistake".



Exercise for the reader: From GR we know that a locally inertial frame is in
freefall. For a measurement that lasts 100 ns, estimate how much deviation there
is between an earth-surface frame and one truly in freefall. The above
experiments have measurement resolutions larger than a nanometer; compare to
your estimate. Hint: Newtonian gravity is accurate enough, but remember that the
earth rotates.

Well, you tried, which is more than most around here, so I'll respond.

First: The expression on the left does SORT-OF represent what you described, but
in your last digit, 2.8 rounds to 3. That doesn't really matter.

My "SORT-OF" is related to the ambiguities in attempting to discuss "distance"
on cosmological scales -- there are at least four different meanings of
"distance", all of which are quite reasonable, but they can differ by orders of
magnitude from each other. That's why redshift is generally used rather than
"distance".


> The angle would change by 0.000000002 degrees per year. If you are rotating at
> that rate it would cancel the apparent "proper motion".

Yes, for a given object under those conditions.

When I wrote my reply, I misremembered VLBI resolutions, thinking they were in
microarcseconds, when they are actually in milliarcseconds. So I was wrong and
you are correct: this would not be directly measurable.



But you seem to not understand what rotation is, and the importance of comparing
it to observations. Rotation NECESSARILY involves an axis, and along that axis
there is no relative motion. So the notion that "the universe is rotating, which
causes the redshift" implies that the redshift of distant objects will be zero
along the putative axis of rotation. That is NOT observed; the distribution of
redshifts is isotropic within resolutions.

If you change the notion to be that each distant object has its own axis of
rotation, then you could avoid that objection. But then you must explain how it
is the the earth "just happens" to be at the center of all those billions and
billions of "rotating" objects. And you also have to explain why the "rotation"
RATE around all those billions and billions of axes is related to distance from
earth. Given the fact that the earth is situated at the outer edge of a rather
ordinary galaxy, no answer you attempt to give will be accepted by anyone who
understands the issues.


> Why should we assume that the universe has no net rotation?

It's not an "assumption", it is a MEASUREMENT: No such "global rotation" is
observed. Moreover, no such rotation could explain the observations. The
expansion of the universe is a simpler explanation that fits the observations
(and combined with the big bang and the other aspects of the standard model of
cosmology, fits just about all of them).

Note also that the "time dilation" formula you are thinking of is
second order in v/c, while the Doppler formula for motion along the
line-of-sight is first order. So much smaller velocities are needed.

> orbiting systems appear to be the norm in nature.

For OBJECTS, not for the universe as a whole. You are making a category error here.

There is a gossip that at that time there were only three people who
understood theory of relativity. This notion is obviously wrong. There
was only one person who understood relativity.
His name was Albert Einstein.
He knew that his theory based on relative motion was hogwash.
Therefore he resorted to another trick and deception. Through the
examples of twin paradox and above mentioned rotational motions he
tried to make it one sided show.
Why Dingle? Any clever undergraduate could have seen through his
pathetic attempt.

But according to you "the most that human beings can aspire to is to
make models of the world -- we can never actually "know" what Nature
herself is really doing. We can only make models and test them". What
REAL world are you talking about? Perhaps you mean the fantasy world you
inhabit where you a great physicist handing down pearls of wisdom to
lesser mortals. Hint - you're not and you don't and you give yourself
away every other post.


> any measurement has an errorbar,

Ah yes - last time you trotted that out in your usual pompous way I
showed you were wrong. You didn't respond to that post so I will remind you.

I wrote
" Suppose B is orbiting about A and has a peripheral speed v. A can do
calculations using relativity about clocks and rulers.
Suppose now A is rotating such that he always faces towards B. The apparent
speed of B is zero so A could assume B's clocks were going at the same
rate as A's."

I was making a perfectly valid point that unless A knows *exactly* by
how much he is rotating his calculations will be inaccurate because
rotation will result in apparent peripheral speed.

You being your usual obnoxious self failed to see this obvious point and
replied

> Only if A is stupid and does not understand relativity. Apparently that

I wrote
"It is vital that A knows whether or not he is rotating otherwise his
interpretation of data is flawed."

To which you responded

Showing a total naivety when it comes to practical measurement. I'm
afraid my usual good natured politeness temporarily abandoned me an I
called you an idiot. What you were saying was that you can tell you are
rotating by comparing yourself with something which isn't.

Me:

You:

Me
Speed is relative; rotation isn't. In theory one can crudely determine
ones absolute rotation by means of Foucault pendulum or using a
gyroscope. If the distance between A and B is 10billion light years a
minute rotation on the part of A would make for a massive error and
there is no experiment which could determine A's rotation to sufficient
accuracy. You have no way of knowing whether something is red shifted
because it is travelling away from you and is Doppler shifted or whether
it is orbiting you and the redshift is due to time dilation.

You - being your usual supercilious obnoxious self responded:

I did the calculations showing that it was in fact YOU who had an
inability to do QUANTITATIVE calculations and that the ERRORBARS are
such as to make the application of relativity totally useless in
astronomy.

Me:
OK let's do the calculations. If an object is 10billion light years away
and its peripheral speed is 0.5c Then in one year it will move
0.5 ly
ArcTan (0.5/10,000,000,000) = 0.000000002 degrees per year.

The angle would change by 0.000000002 degrees per year. If you are
rotating at that rate it would cancel the apparent "proper motion".
Do you believe that there is any way we can tell whether we are rotating
at that rate? If the entire universe is rotating and we are anywhere
near the centre of rotation then red shift would increase with distance
(according to SR) because the peripheral speed naturally increases with
distance for a fixed angular rotation.

Why should we assume that the universe has no net rotation? Rotation and
orbiting systems appear to be the norm in nature.

What makes you think that slow muon decay is due to relativity? You
say that in the Lab frame, muon decay is slowed. What about the frame
of muon? Have you considered it? In the frame of muon, there is no
time dilation.
In the lab frame, if muons make n revolutions in t seconds, then in
muon’s frame too they must make n revolutions (before they decay).
This can be explained only by length contraction. And like linear
distances we face a problem here.
Imagine very thin round super conductor. How much thin is not
important for the gedanken. If electrons are set in motion in this
conductor, then in the frame of electrons, diameter of the round
conductor must get reduced. But since the ring is in lab frame, there
cannot be any such real contraction. But to satisfy SR, we must assume
that electrons, in their own frame, move round in the imaginary ring
of lesser diameter.
Situation is similar to the muons falling on earth. Length contraction
of the distance that is situated in the earth frame cannot get
contracted in reality.

OK in 1905 he used the unsatisfactory term "stationary system". In
what way does an inertial FoR differ from what he described as a
stationary system? The subject relates to SR as it exists today.

I can't find the reference but (I think it was Essen) pointed out that
he got it wrong. In a later paper he had another go and got it right. He
concealed the error in part in the corrected version by interchanging
his definitions of X and X'

> What Einstein should have said is irrelevant,

It depends on whether you are attacking his theory (corrected) or his
mathematical ability. He made a mathematical error which was rather
remiss of him especially as he knew the answer he was trying to get.
There are more elegant ways of deriving the transforms from his
postulates which are taught today.

we can only discuss
> what he DID say

Why? His theory *as now accepted* is what we should be attacking not his
poor maths. That theory was re-interpreted by Builder and Builder's
interpretation is now accepted. When you were taught Maxwell's equations
you were almost certainly taught Lorentz's version of Maxwell's
equations. Lorentz contributed a lot but the credit goes to Maxwell -
although sometimes it is more correctly described as Maxwell-Lorentz
electrodynamics. Now if you want to argue that it should rightly be
called Lorentz's theory not Einstein's then I would agree with you.

or we are not discussing philosophy, physics or

But informing them that the inanities they've dreamed up are as
factually wrong as can be, and then sitting back and watching as they
obliviously repeat their inanities right on cue, makes for even bigger
smiles. :))

No this is not a debate about Dingle or Essen or Murray or Builder,
but about your SICK philosophy.
No so much for your integrity.

OK in 1905 he used the unsatisfactory term "stationary system".
===============================================
No it is very satisfactory, far more so than your unsatisfactory
"absolute" FoR in which you claim rotation is "absolute".


In
what way does an inertial FoR differ from what he described as a
stationary system?
=========================================================

"Let us take a system of co-ordinates in which the equations of Newtonian
mechanics hold good. In order to render our presentation more precise and to
distinguish this system of co-ordinates verbally from others which will be
introduced hereafter, we call it the “stationary system.” -- Einstein

No in what way does an inertial FoR differ from what Einstein described as a
system of co-ordinates in which the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold
good?

No in what way does two differ from zwei?
No in what way does zwei differ from deux?
No in what way does deux differ from 2?
No in what way does "moving system" differ from "stationary system"?

No if you don't read what Einstein wrote you are not qualified to criticise
what he wrote.
No this is not a debate about Dingle or Essen or Murray or Builder, but
about your SICK philosophy.
No "stationary system" is very satisfactory, far more so than your
unsatisfactory "absolute" FoR in which you claim rotation is "absolute".




The subject relates to SR as it exists today.
====================================
No in what way does "the subject as it exists today" differ from SR as
Einstein wrote it?
No leave Einstein out of "the subject as to exists today" and only discuss
"the subject as it exists today".
No first tell us who wrote "the subject as it exists today", but remember
you are not discussing SR.
No so much for your integrity.

Can you suggest a difference between contraction and shortening?
========================================================
Can you suggest a difference between 1 multiplied by 0.5 and 1 divided by
0.5?
Let's be quite clear. Einstein was a babbling idiot and if you agree with
his
babble then SO ARE YOU!

I can't find the reference but (I think it was Essen) pointed out that
he got it wrong.
=========================================================
Well I can find the reference and I did it without Essen for a crutch, and
of course the babbling idiot Einstein got it wrong.
The reference is in
§ 4. Physical Meaning of the Equations Obtained in Respect to Moving Rigid
Bodies and Moving Clocks
in
ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS
OF MOVING BODIES
By A. Einstein
which ANYONE with out a lame brain can read without Essen to do it for them.





In a later paper he had another go and got it right.
===============================================
No he didn't. So much for your integrity.

"Thus, whereas the Y and Z dimensions of the sphere (and therefore of every
rigid body of no matter what form) do not appear modified by the motion, the
X dimension appears shortened in the ratio 1:sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), i.e. the
greater the value of v, the greater the shortening." -- Einstein.

Same paper.
He wrote that to agree with Lorentz, but the ratio 1:sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is
1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), the greater the value of v, the greater the LENGTHENING.



He concealed the error in part in the corrected version by interchanging
his definitions of X and X'
===================================================
Cite it. So much for your integrity.




> What Einstein should have said is irrelevant,

It depends on whether you are attacking his theory (corrected) or his
mathematical ability. He made a mathematical error which was rather
remiss of him especially as he knew the answer he was trying to get.
There are more elegant ways of deriving the transforms from his
postulates which are taught today.
=====================================================
Take a tip from the moslems.
There is no Physics but SR and Einstein is its Prophet.
Every time you babble "contraction" you are agreeing with a babbling idiot.



we can only discuss
> what he DID say

Why?
=======================================================
That has to be the fucking dumbest question anyone ever asked.
To get it right, that's why! Your brain is contracted.
