Why are you replying to me with this stunning non-discovery? Because he thought you would be amused at him complaining about one person using multiple handles when he himself has done the same thing.

If you mean what one measures/calcultes .. yes. If you mean what is seen (ie when information sent to an observer from clock about what the clock reading is) then it is slower when moving away and fast when moving toward. > > > The paradoxes which arise from this are ample reason to chuck > > > Einstein's theory. > > > What paradoxes? > > The paradox inherent in Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, and the > paradoxes arising from it, namely the twin paradox and the triplet > paradox. There are no actual paradoxes (ie self-contradictions) in SR. The term 'paradox' in their titles simply means an unexpected or unintuitive result (such as twins ageing my different amounts when one remains at rest and the other moves away and returns .. no contradiction there, just an initially surprising result, and verified experimentally) > http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/browse_thread/t... > > > Different people perceive different paradoxes, but > > they are all easy to explain; and probably the thinking error that you > > fell for was already explained to you, but you either overlooked or > > misunderstood it. > > No, that is not the case. Wrong .. it most certainly IS the case, several people here, including me, have pointed out your errors. You don't seem interested in finding out what they are of learning from them.

You could make your point by simply quoting Einstein if > he had actually made such a provision. Its part of the Lorentz transforms .. relativity of synchronicity (ie changes in clock sync when inertial frame changes) accounts for that. See the many example of the regular twin paradox from the point of view of the travelling twin for examples of how this works (the travelling twins measures the stay-at-home twin as aging faster during the turnaround). This is all well-documented stuff.

The math Gisse the college dropout showed then resemble nothing in applications to the Lorentz transform. If one really understand the issue of relative simultaneity and thus the Lorentz transform, he would give it up long ago. <shrug> Why did you filter out other newsgroups in the reply?
