Why should I do so again when you didn't listen the previous thousand times?

Galilean transforms show NOTHING of the sort. Gallilean transforms say correct cloaks all run at the same rate, no matter how fast they are travelling relative to some observer (or vice versa) YOUR additional equations are about how clocks are slowed by being in motion. > and the > clock in S' is running at a slower rate, n'.

Only because you lie and refuse to answer question So .. lets see if you are actually honest enough this time So in what frame of reference are the clocks ticking at the 'correct' rate, and not slowed by motion? What is the relationship between the time shown on some clock moving in that frame, and the actual time in that frame?

I know your equations are wrong. Glad to hear you admit it > They require a different reference for > time in S' than in S. The Galilean transformation equations require > t' to equal t. And so your equation using t(1-v/c) for time in S' is wrong. So .. given that the definition of a correct clock is one that shows the time in the frame in which it is at rest .... what is the formula for the time shown on a correct clock at rest in S' as observed by an observer at rest in frame S ?? Can you answer that honestly? I doubt it. Prove me wrong.

The Galilean transformation equations account for the slower clock in S' and put physical objects where they actually are. There is really no better way to do it than that.

Now, you may think that you understand how mathematics relates to physics BETTER THAN mathematicians or physicists do. But that would be the hallmark of an egomaniacal loon. And I'm not sure you want to perpetuate that. PD |
