Yes Ken, what ARE the differences between an inertial frame and an absolute rest frame?

The second sentence > is what SR states only up to (but not including) the word "including". If the PoR does not include the absolute rest frame then you need to define the differences between an inertial frame and the absolute rest frame.

What I said there is based on the fact that every SR observer uses the exclusive prerties of the absolute rest frame to derive its math....so every SR observer assumes that he is at rest in the absolute rest frame. > > PD was correct, you blame SR for your own contradictions.

You make no sense, Seto. Relativity makes NO use of special frames, as all frames are relative. Ever wonder why it's call "relativity"? Seto--You really need to sit down and learn special relativity. There has never been an observation that contracts a prediction of special relativity. It remains a very fruitful theory and you should take the time to learn it, Seto. What is the experimental basis of special relativity? http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/experiments.html How do you add velocities in special relativity? http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/velocity.html Can special relativity handle acceleration? http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/acceleration.html |
