If your answer is No we are in total agreement, 1905 Einstein doesnt identify stationary system with moving system, not being possible then to interchange their roles. My second question is By the way, is the moving system in this example an inertial frame?. If your answer is also No, we are again in total agreement, a moving entity with a gravitational centripetal acceleration with a circular path cant be considered an inertial frame in 1905. And about the application of relativity formulas to a non-inertial frame, I am also following 1905 Einstein accepting that it can be done. The unique difference between us in this point seems to be then that my reasons to accept 1905 Einstein behaviour are perhaps different from yours. You use a Galilean transformation in your 1905 Einstein justification, if I dont remember bad. For me is more than sufficient the huge experimental evidence of today GPS supporting 1905 Einstein. > Harald RVHG (Rafael Valls Hidalgo-Gato)

Once again, you have demonstrated that COLP'S Oversimplified Relativity is self-contradictory and should be rejected. However, relativity is not. Please identify the two *events* that are implicit in the passage above. Then identify the two OTHER *events* that are implicit in your flipping of the statement. Then we can talk. PD

If your answer is �No� we are in total agreement, 1905 Einstein doesn�t identify �stationary system� with �moving system�, not being possible then to interchange their roles.

If your answer is also �No�, we are again in total agreement, a moving entity with a gravitational centripetal acceleration with a circular path can�t be considered an inertial frame in 1905. ================================================= By the principle of relativity the satellite sees the Earth moving beneath it, just as a passenger in a plane sees the Earth move beneath the plane. By the principle of relativity someone on the Moon sees the Earth rotate on its axis. The Earth moves. The ignoramus Roberts brought in the term "inertial", we are not discussing inertial at all. So I agree with you on the second point, but not with your first. The stationary clock at the equator (or in Cuba, close enough) sees the entire universe move. The sun moves across the sky, doesn't it? =================================================== And about the application of relativity formulas to a non-inertial frame, I am also following 1905 Einstein accepting that it can be done. The unique difference between us in this point seems to be then that my reasons to accept 1905 Einstein behaviour are perhaps different from yours. You use a Galilean transformation in your 1905 Einstein justification, if I don�t remember bad. For me is more than sufficient the huge experimental evidence of today GPS supporting 1905 Einstein. =================================================== You have no idea what the principle of relativity is. "It is known that Maxwell's electrodynamics--as usually understood at the present time--when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena. Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor and the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp distinction between the two cases in which either the one or the other of these bodies is in motion. For if the magnet is in motion and the conductor at rest, there arises in the neighbourhood of the magnet an electric field with a certain definite energy, producing a current at the places where parts of the conductor are situated. But if the magnet is stationary and the conductor in motion, no electric field arises in the neighbourhood of the magnet. In the conductor, however, we find an electromotive force, to which in itself there is no corresponding energy, but which gives rise--assuming equality of relative motion in the two cases discussed--to electric currents of the same path and intensity as those produced by the electric forces in the former case. Examples of this sort,...will hereafter be called the ``Principle of Relativity'' -- Paragraph 1 and 2.

Perhaps you are looking for keywords in my answers, and if you see the ones you like, then you think that we therefore agree? However, clearly you cannot understand Einstein's logical (and correct) reasoning, even after I explained it to you. For example: > "Einstein doesnt > identify stationary system with moving system, That's right, > not being possible then to interchange their roles." And that's wrong. > a moving entity with a gravitational centripetal > acceleration with a circular path cant be considered an inertial > frame in 1905. That is again right, > And about the application of relativity formulas to a non-inertial > frame, I am also following 1905 Einstein accepting that it can be > done. And that is double wrong: as I explained to you with much elaboration, he did NOT apply relativity formulas to a non-inertial frame. Regards, Harald |
