That physical "frame" is not preferred. Therefore, as Einstein put it, he introduced neither an ``absolutely stationary space'' provided with special properties, nor did he assign a velocity-vectorto a point in empty space. In other words, he managed to do the derivation without introducing that concept. Can you understand that? > > Look and listen if you can.

I addressed the issue several times as several people did - only to be met with silence. Verdict: you are indeed a troll! Harald

Can you show how the time dilation due to relative motion makes sense from the frame of reference of either plane?

You have this misconception that relativity says that the reason the plane clock arrives out of synch with the earth clock is because the plane was moving. That is NOT the reason. That is a vast oversimplification of what relativity says. In cases where clocks start out in one place synchronized, then there is some motion, and when they arrive again at one place unsynchronized, the reason for this is not the relative motion. The reason is that one of the clocks has a straighter worldline than the other between those two spacetime events. Moreover, this comparison of worldline straightness is independent of the inertial reference frame chosen to look at it. That is, from any single inertial reference frame, the *identical* difference in clock readings at the second event is predicted by SR. You can show this any number of ways, but the simplest is to draw the worldline diagrams from two different inertial reference frames. If you don't know how to do this, then I can certainly point you to a good tutorial reference. PD

Of course You've been shown before how differences in simultaneity gives you mutual time dilation. Daryl (I believe) did an extensive post on it (a couple of times). I also put up an example more than one that clearly shows how differences in clock sync result in mutual dilation. Do you want it to be posted again? |
