A=5/3, B=-4/3, D=-4/3, E=5/3 is a solution to the four equations 1. x'(x,t) = Ax + Bct 2. ct'(x,t) = Dx + Ect 3. x'(ct,t) = c t'(ct,t) 4. x'(-ct,t) = -ct'(ct,t) 2. You proved that the only solution is B=0. 3. Therefore, you proved something false. This doesn't have anything to do with relativity, or Einstein. It's simple algebra. If you proved something false, then there is something wrong with your proof. -- Daryl McCullough Ithaca, NY |
