You are so stupid. Once again, describe an SR frame where the bug dies twice. You can't, because there is no such frame. Yet you keep claiming the bug dies twice. Why?

Hey idiot....both observer agree that the bug dies when the tip of the rivet hits the bug. The problem is that SR predicts that in the rivet frame the tip of the rivet hits the bug before the head of the rivet hits the wall of the hole.....and at the same time SR predicts that in the hole frame the tip of the rivet hits the bug after the head of the rivet hits the wall of the hole. These are two different instants of time....what this mean is that SR predicts that the bug dies at two different instants of time. > > How can you argue this problem if you don't even understand it?

Hey idiot...the point is Sr predicts that the bug dies at different instants of time as follows: Hey idiot....both observer agree that the bug dies when the tip of the rivet hits the bug. The problem is that SR predicts that in the rivet frame the tip of the rivet hits the bug before the head of the rivet hits the wall of the hole.....and at the same time SR predicts that in the hole frame the tip of the rivet hits the bug after the head of the rivet hits the wall of the hole. These are two different instants of time....what this mean is that SR predicts that the bug dies at two different instants of time.

Hey idiot....if there is real length contraction SR does predict that the bug dies at two different instants of time. You are so stupid. Ken Seto |
