No, Ken, that's not right. If M' moves wrt the light front from the ends of the train, this means the *closing* speed is not isotropic. But the light speed is still isotropic.

I know you don't accept that, Ken. That's part of the problem. Experiments confirm that SR predictions are valid.

That >means that the t' clock is slow compared to the t clock. Yup. Reverse A and B and the same thing happens, too. B predicts (and observes) A's clock running slow compared to his clock. A predicts (and observes) B's clock running slow compared to her clock. >> where delta(t) is a time interval local to B (B's watch's second hand) >> computes gamma = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) and observes that she'll see B's clock >> as slow as well. >What are you saying here? are you saying that the t' clock predicts >that the t clock is slow?? If you actually understood SR you'd know exactly what was being predicted. For an expert who claims to know more about SR than anyone here, you sure know squat about SR. I think you need to take Sam Wormley up on his suggestion. Get some tutoring on SR, even if from someone other than him. And technically, you cannot simply reverse t and t'. Reverse the actors, and t is B's clock local to B, and t' is B's clock as seen by A. Also, Sam Wormley writes: : Ken, I think the crux of your non-acceptance of relativity, is that : you are bothered by the fact that who's clock measures slow is : observer dependent. I think that's true. Maybe you should consider another common effect which does not involve relativity, where effects are observer dependent and do not reverse, yet we humans don't have any problem. Consider two people A and B, who are the same height. When they are face to face, each sees the other as full-sized, as tall as they are. Now if they walk a few hundered feet from each other, each one sees the other as small, and if they get further away, they get even smaller in appearance. Notice that just because A looks tiny as far as B is concerned, B does *not* appear huge as far as A is concerned. In fact, B looks tiny to A, and by the same amount that A looks tiny to B. Note that neither A nor B actually shrink. If each measures their height with a (local) ruler, they'll find their height is unchanged. Also note it does not matter whether A or B moved, or both did. There is no "absolute center" of the world where everyone is full-sized and appearing small is a function of how far away you are from this "absolute center". No, it is a local effect, depending only on how far A and B are from each other. SR time dilation is very similar. The differences are that it's the relative velocity and not the relative distance that matters, and the effect is that clocks are seen as running slower rather than the person appearing as if they are smaller. > if that's what you are saying then it is >wrong. The t' clock must predict that the t clock is running faster >than the t' clock. >>"Isn't that interesting. Even though B sees my clock >> as running slow, I see B's clock as running slow." >no....not intersting at all....You made a bogus assertion that B(t') >predicts that A(t) is runing slow. Nope. It's what SR predicts, and is quite interesting since it goes against common sense. >> This is contradictory. If gamma is always greater than or equal to 1, >> and, according to SR, all moving observers observe A's clock as moving at >> the rate of gamma*their clock rate, then all moving observers *must* see >> A's clock as running slow. >No....no observer knows whether his clock is running slow or fast >compared to a moving clock. All he can say is that a moving clock can >run fast by a factor of gamma or runs slow by a factor of 1/gamma. On contrary. Gamma can be calculated if the relative velocity is known, and is known to be >= 1 no matter what, so it is known that for any nonzero velocity, any moving clock will be seen as running slow. >> Your bit about "running slow by a factor of 1/gamma" is your own creation, >> and not part of SR, but something that exists only in your own mind. >> For someone who claims to know more about SR than anyone else here, >> you sure don't understand SR. >SR is wrong and incomplete.... Well then your pet theory cannot be an extension of SR if you claim SR is wrong. Any theory that is an extension of another theory implicitly assumes the other theory is correct under the stated conditions. Just like SR and GR, GR is simply SR when away from gravitating masses. >the reason is that every SR observer >assumes that he is in a state of rest and a clock moving wrt him are >doing the moving....this led him to conclude that all clocks moving >wrt him are rinning slow.

What we have is that there is experiment that confirms A's prediction that B's clock is running slow but there is no experiment that confirm B's prediction that A's clock is running slow. Ken Seto

No....if closing speed is real then M' will not be able to measure the speed of light to be isotropic. What this mean is that closing speed is not real...this follows that RoS is not real.
