How come that during a simultaneous moment, when two beam of light
"fired from the center within the ship", hit the front wall and the
backwall in the ship, they can be spatially separated by a greater
length/distance within the rest space the ship travel.

This is a mystery because i thought the ship was supposed to contract
not expand.

Below simultaneous expanding lightfronts from front and back sent from
ship none symmetric wavefronts

Ship 0.9 c  traveldirection------->

lightfront<------------------------- |ship|--->lightfront

Below simultaneous expanding lightfronts sent from a pole within the
ship

     |   <-------------------i------>                  |

As anyone can see it is not possible for the lightbeams to hit the
walls at the same moment, because the none symmetric expansion within
the ship. Relativist will however say that within the ship the light
will travel symmetric in the inertial frame. But problem still remain
the lightfronts hit the back and the front wall at different places in
the space it will travel although was sent out at one and same moment
from pole.

So either the ship must have expanded to the length of the spatially
separated events(hit front, hit back) in the surrounding
space........... or simultanity for events have nothing to do with
where a travelling object is when the event occur.

It is quite interesting that SRians have no trouble defining ONE EVENT
for a travelling objekt of let us say length 10 meter in space to have
cordinates spatially separated by any distance in space. Any other
sane person would say that the event actually was not an event it was
two events that took place because event require simultanity.

OR could it be so simple that the light did not travel invariant
within the ship frame.

Imagine you marked the position of the back of a moving train at
time 1:00, and the front of the train a minute later. The train
has traveled during that minute. The positions of those two
markers will be farther apart than the length of the train.

Same thing with the light pulses. In the outside frame,
the pulses don't arrive at the front and back of the
rocket simultaneously. So we are marking the front and
back positions at different times, and the resulting
distance is not a measurement of the length.

Huh, one minute apart and still simultaneous i really do not
understand, you claim you did the markings simultaneous, but separated
in time i do not understand.

Hello i thought light should travel invariant through space what are
you talking about.
Dear Randy if you have person A walk backward front and B front
backward, and B reach back rather immediatly while A not yet finished
his first step when reaching Alpha Centauri.

A. You still claim they are walking velocity invariant
B. You still claim they reach the walls simultaneous.
C. You change your mind and realise the moments are not simultaneous,
and their walking velocity was vector dependent (due to the lorentz
transform), they will have symmetric roundtrips but different variant
vector dependent velocity.

According to the measurement system of the outside observer, the light
travels invariantly at c in *that* space while the train is moving as well
in that space. Thus, according to that measurement, while the backward going
light moves at c, the train moves at v towards it, so that the light touches
the back of the train as it meets it rather soon because the distance is
reduced. Similarly, the forward going light touches the front of the train
much later as it catches up with it, at a much increased distance.

I am not sure how your answer relate to the actual question, can a
simultaneous event occur (for a small object in space) at two
different places separated by lighyears. The spatial separation of two
simultaneous events CAN NOT HAVE LARGER SPATIAL SEPARATION THAN THE
OBJECT ITSELF.

Because that would mean the object either occupy two places in space
at the same time OR THAT IT EXPANDED, do you agree?

The light beam started its expansion at one place in space, in two
directions within the ship the optic fibre that send the signal was
placed in middle of the ship. There is no way that the two lightpulses
can reach front and back of ship and still be simultaneous but that is
what SR claim.

This is not working.

I hope you realise what you say here you say that the light travels c
+v, if you call this light invariant you have me stumped.

There is no c+v c-v in relativity, on the other hand your example not
even valid in emitter theory. Because the train pole is mounted in
train so the light will expand symetrical.

The light travels at c.
The wall travels at v.

Their distance shrinks at a rate v+c. There is nothing actually
moving at that speed.

> There is no c+v c-v in relativity,

Yes there is. It is the separation rate, or approaching
rate, of a light beam (always moving at c) and an object
moving at +-v.

How come you don't actually learn about SR so you can express questions
coherently?

Rest of usual junk snipped.

How come they can learn apes to smoke but it seem impossible to make
them quit the bad habit. I've read the sh.t once it was imbecile
enought to make me very upset, i will not go through that sh.t again.

Einsteins train Gedankens is directed to imbeciles, as the nice conman
he was he directed his joke in a way that would make imbecile people
feel smart.

I have a feeling that he knew exactly what he did when he presented
his theory and directed it to imbeciles with a supressed ego. I mean
once you feel smart you do not want anyone to come and take the
feeling away from you.

You just stay put there with the other monkey brains Bill...

Well lets see - virtually everyone else that reads it understands it, but
you obviously don't; and hang around here posting profanities at those that
do.  As I said before look into Trifluoperazine.

Large doses might be required in your case.

So we can conclude that you have read about SR but are
unable to understand it because you are too intelligent.

We imbeciles, who are too stupid to fail to
understand SR, find that rather amusing.

- "Hvet du hvorfor en svenske ikke forstår Einsteins
  relativitetsteori?"
- "Han er for intelligent til å forstå den".

Takk for svenskevitsen! :-)

You are probably also too intelligent to understand
why we imbeciles who understand SR find that to be
a hilarious excuse for not understanding SR.

It though seems i am stupid enough carry on educating morons about
simultanity, but then again those monkeys horrible smooking and sh.t
eating habits seem rather hard to stop. And i never actually thought
you monkeys would try to make any coherent argument about what SR
simultanity is because there is none within a inertial frame of SR.

Simultanity can have it's fallpits but it ain't f.cking rocket
science, i do not expect monkeys building spaceship, i only expect
them to know if they did smoke eachother before eating the sh.t or if
they did it simultaneous. If you do not understand causuality and
logic how can you expect to understand what is simultaneous. An event
that will happen for at a place in a hollow object can not be
simultaneous with a event for same hollow object if the object is
blown away before simultaneous event number two happen.

*IT HAS TO DO WITH CAUSUALITY MR ANDERSEN*

distances and time since 1903, lately i've been feeling this urge to

one willy at the same time.

Can one event be the cause of another simultaneous event?

It is quite obvious from your eloquent postings that your
intelligence is far superior to ours.

But I am afraid that we sh.t eating monkeys are too stupid
to take advantage of your teaching.

Maybe you should try another forum where the participants
are at your own intellectual level?
A kindergarten?

Yes *LOL* it was Androcles, you are the master of profound logic, they
are to f.cking stupid to take advantage of my teaching although kind
at kindergarten are not..

I turn to kindergarten i have higher hope for them to understand these
very very very simple principles of simultaneous events.

Yeah i know just maybe you are smarter than me, but to be smart is one
thing to draw the right conclusions from data is another. And you seem
to be pretty accurate at both.

I know for sure your knowledge is far superior to mine. Even Bill
Hobbas, Paul Andersen, Tom Roberts is, i would even go so far to state
that Eric Gisses knowledge is far superiour to mine problem is he
probably one of the most stupid parrots i ever met. Someday i think
Roberts, Andersen and Hobba could change their mind but only if
experimental facts is put forward them for Eric Gisse i must say i do
not share that hope.

OK Jonas.

Here is one of my homework problems from the week before last [which I
turned in awhile ago - don't whine about 'doing your homework for
you']. For the record, this problem is from Symon's "Mechanics", 3rd
ed.

"Masses m and 2m are suspended from a string of length l_1 which
passes over a pulley. Masses 3m and 4m and similarly suspended by a
string of length l_2 over another pulley. These two pulleys hang from
the ends of a string of length l_3 over a third fixed pulley." The
question would be extended to Androcles as well, but it has been well-
established that he doesn't even fully understand the concept of the
square root and negative numbers.

The goal of this problem is to find the tensions and accelerations of
the masses. Tell me where you think you would start.

No... The magnetic path-length changes. See equation 511.
