In the 30Jun1905 Einstein's paper it is denoted "stationary system" a "system of co-ordinates in which the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good". That kind of system is not for you an inertial one? ============================================ The equations of mechanics hold good in ALL system of co-ordinates, you just need to know what they are. http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/fw/gifs/coriolis.mov In the 30Jun1905 Einstein's paper it is stated : If we assume that the result proved for a polygonal line is also valid for a continuously curved line, we arrive at this result: If one of two synchronous clocks at A is moved in a closed curve with constant velocity until it returns to A, the journey lasting t seconds, then by the clock which has remained at rest the travelled clock on its arrival at A will be 1/2t v^2/c^2 second slow. Thence we conclude that a balance-clock at the equator must go more slowly, by a very small amount, than a precisely similar clock situated at one of the poles under otherwise identical conditions. A curved path is not an inertial path. Nowhere does it say "inertial" in 30Jun1905 Einstein's paper, you are crazy. In case of negative answer, what is for you an inertial frame in 1905? ============================================ The same as it always was. There are no inertial frames in 30Jun1905 Einstein's paper, you are crazy. In the 30Jun1905 Einstein's paper it is denoted "stationary system" a "system of co-ordinates in which the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good". That kind of system is not for you a bright green flying elephant? In case of negative answer, what is for you a bright green flying elephant in 1905? ========================================= This last question has no relation at all with 1905 Relativity. ========================================= That's right, it doesn't. Androcles' laws of motion for rotating frames of reference. LAW I. Every body perseveres in its state of circular motion in a curved line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon. Proof: http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/fw/gifs/coriolis.mov LAW II. The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed. (same as Newton and Galileo) LAW III. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction; or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts. (same as Newton) The equations of mechanics hold good in ALL system of co-ordinates, you just need to know what they are.

I am afraid that your new text doesnt cover all the text of my interest. A little ahead we can read: The introduction of a luminiferous ether will prove to be superfluous inasmuch as the view here to be developed will not require an absolutely stationary space provided with special properties, nor assign a velocity-vector to a point of empty space in which electromagnetic processes take place In this last text 1905 Einstein is putting out from his new theory not only the ether, but also the Newtonian absolute space, what reduces in an essential way the coordinate systems of the Newtonian mechanics that remain in 1905 Relativity. Being present no more the absolute space with its absolute coordinate system, the relative spaces (moving with all possible absolute uniform velocities) with their relative coordinate systems, result also out from 1905 Relativity. Being all the non-related with massive bodies coordinate systems out, only remain the related with massive bodies ones, which are no other than the centre of mass coordinates systems (like the corresponding one to the today denoted GPS ECI, used already by 1905 Einstein in his example at the end of paragraph 4). > Good luck. ;-) > > Harald Please, let me know if for the text that I added here exists some relevant difference with the original.

And every body can be described in every frame. Next.

Here the result of my 10 min. work: "These two postulates suffice to attain a simple and contradiction- free electrodynamics of moving bodies by basing it on Maxwell's theory for stationary bodies. The introduction of a ``luminiferous ether'' will be shown to be insofar superfluous as according to the here to be developed view neither an ``absolutely stationary space'' provided with special properties is introduced, nor is a velocity-vector assigned to a point in empty space, in which electromagnetic processes take place." As a matter of fact, it DOES make a subtle difference - but probably not for you. All the best, Harald

You know,it is actually possible to discuss what Isaac was really doing first before looking at any other considerations unless you have a desperate need to generate fiction upon fiction.Isaac tried to use the Ra/Dec framework, that you call an inertial reference, to act as a bridge between celestial observations,modelling and predictions.In an overall defining sense what Isaac tried to do is fairly simple - he railroaded the resolution for the Earth's orbital motion into a hypothetical 'observer' whereas the actual resolution is based on retrogrades as an illusion caused by the Earth's own motion. What goes on in the sci.physics forums and especially relativity is a direct result of Newton being greedy,the empiricists before him retained terrestrial effects when considering relationships between planetary motions,their cycles and experimental analogies whereas Isaac tried to obliterate the interpretative method of astronomy which is required to distinguish apparent and actual motions on one side and destroy the speculative necessities of analogies on the other.It is not that he was secretive about this,in fact,he openly states what his approach is and although it is at variance with the antecedent astronomical methods and insights,it is understandable and nothing like this constant dithering around with phrases that sound great but are devoid of content. There is no imperative but to go outside and take in the spectacle of the great cycles instead of being caught up entirely in something that exists only in the imagination of somebody who lived 3 hundred years ago and was not dealt properly 100 years ago.
