Looks like its you who don't understand relativity.

Sorry A predicts B's time interval for an inertval of delta(t_A) in
his frame as follows:
delta(t_B)= delta(t_A)/gamma_a

Neither of which are what SR predicts.

SR predicts that delta t' = gamma * delta t

for both instances.

Gamma = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

Note that with this formula, with v restricted to being a real number with
an absolute value less than c, it is *impossible* for gamma to be less
than 1.

You claim that if A sees B's clock as slowed, B will c A's clock as
fast. "A sees B's clock as slowed" means that delta T_b is larger
than delta T_a. Since delta T_b = gamma * delta T_a, gamma must be a
real mumber greater than 1. This is easily satisfied for some v where
the absolute value of v is less than c.

Now let's take a look at the reverse situation. You claim that B will c
A's clock as fast. Since delta t_a = gamma * delta t_b and delta t_a <
delta t_b, gamma must be a positive real number less than 1. So, let's
see what value of v would do this. Gamma = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).

Gamma^2 = 1/(1-v^2/c^2). (squaring both sides).

Gamma^2 will also be a positive real number less than 1, since the squares
of all positive real numbers less than 1 are also less than 1.

1/Gamma^2 = 1-v^2/c^2. (inverting both sides).

Since gamma^2<1. 1/gamma^2 is greater than 1.

1/gamma^2-1 = -v^2/c^2. (subtract 1 from both sides)

1-1/gamma^2 = v^2/c^2 (negating both sides)

sqrt(1-1/gamma^2) = v/c. (square root of both sides)
c*sqrt(1-1/gamma^2) = v (Here we have an equation for finding a v
satisfies your claim where one frame sees the other as running fast)


So, let's see what happens for any gamma<1. Gammma^2<1.
1/(gamma^2) will be greater than 1. So... 1-1/gamma^2 *must* be a
negative number. The square root of that negative number is your v...
....what is the square root of a negative number? An imaginary number!
In other words, no real velocity v satisfies your claim that one frame
will see the other frame's clock as running fast. I told you what you've
been posting is all in your head, here's mathematical proof of that! :-)
The only possible velocity v which produces a situation where one frame
sees another frame's clock as running fast is an imaginary velocity!

Maybe you can tell us of a situation where an imaginary velocity has some
sort of meaning.

So are you claiming that the t' clock is running fast or are you
claiming that 1 second on the t' clock is worth gamma second on the t
clock?
What about time dilation?....the t clock predicts that the t' clock is
running 1/gamma slow?

OK I agree to that that 1 second of B is worth gamma second of A. This
is what IRT says also. But you can't turn around and claim that 1
second of A is worth gamma second of B.

No this is wrong....delta t_a=delta t_b/gamma

That is incorrect, Ken. You confuse closing speed and relative speed.
You confuse closing speed and light speed.

The relative speed of light is c for any observer. The closing speed
for light is not necessarily c for any observer.

It helps to know what terms mean, so that you don't confuse them with
each other.

And it is. The nonsimultaneous arrival of the light from the flashes
does not violate the isotropy of the speed of light. In fact, it is
wholly consistent with it.

RoS doesn't make any statement about there being no difference in
closing speed.
