In Einstein's Relativity of Simultaneity ALL of the light from the lightning strike at A/A' reaches M simultaneously and ALL of the light from the lightning strike A/A' reaches B' simultaneously, and ALL of the light from lightning strike at B/B' reaches M simultaneously, and ALL of the light from the lightning strike at B/B' reaches M' simultaneously. This is NOT what I am showing. But thanks for agreeing with Simultaneity of Relativity.

No, that is NOT what Einstein's train gedanken says happens, at all. Good heavens. It appears you don't know what SR says. Right on your YouTube video page you'll see a much better video that DOES say what Einstein's train gedanken says. You'll see it's much different than what you just wrote above. > > This is NOT what I am showing. > > But thanks for agreeing with Simultaneity of Relativity.

No! you are as always ignorant of even what Einstein gedanken says, so... You are showing four (4) events or flashes instead of the two (2) flashes that Einstein used. And, of course, the relativity of simultaneity means that those two events while being simultaneous for one of the observers (M for instance), will most definitely not be simultaneous for the other observer M', and vice versa. This was already discussed some months ago, so you are clearly trying to resurrect a dead cow here. Miguel Rios

The only point I am trying to make to the other poster is the light from A' does not reach M prior to the light from A reaching M in Einstein's train thought experiment. In Einstein's Relativity of Simultaneity the lightning strike at A/A' is a single event and ALL of the light from the lightning strike at A/A' reaches M simultaneously. In Simultaneity of Relativity the light from A' reaches M prior to the light from A reaching M. > > > > This is NOT what I am showing. > > > But thanks for agreeing with Simultaneity of Relativity. > > |
