This is a simple way to think of coordinates for some of our
scientific friends.  See, there is an x axis and a y axis and a
z axis.  So if we have an equation that says
               x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - c^2t^2 = 0

Dear friends:
In the course of working through a physics "exercise" which I have been
discussing in a recent thread at sci.physics.research, I have come
across the need to solve a particular Gaussian-type integral.  I'd

"The Right Angle Lever Paradox"
    (See also our sister website reticsessays.com)
    The "Right Angle Lever Paradox" is a classic construct which is taught
in most courses in Special Relativity. As with all paradoxes, it reveals

Just asking.....what happens?
I think it splits in two and each half retains its intrinsic frequency and
phase. Or maybe the two halves end up 180 out of phase...

According to Einstein, the laws of physics are supposed to be the same in all
inertial frames.....
According to Einstein, all speeds are frame dependent EXCEPT that of light.
Apparently experiments involving light speed do not obey the first postulate.

Dirk, being a longtime advocate of special relativity theory,
should be glad to show us his SR expertise.
Question:
Can Dirk justify the steps of Einstein's clock 'synchronization'

This is my assumption for this thread:
PD claims to understand the Twin Paradox.
If this is true, then PD should be able to tell us why people
in different inertial frames age differently when there is

It is now pretty obvious that Einstein;s theory is complete nonsense and that
light is basically ballistic. It also appears that local 'aether-like' regions
exist in which Maxwell's equations prevail to some degree.
The question is, how rigidly is light controlled by such regions.

I get confused with the following.

It says
In his famous work on Special Relativity in 1905, Albert Einstein

Below I link a third draft of the effort to obtain a closed form
solutions to Gaussians with fields up to fourth order.

Dear Sir Dono, today you look specially smart and kindly :-)
Most people here think you are an ignorant troll who would post in
alt.crackpot, but I explained them that is not right. You are a very
smart guy with impressive knowledge of physics.

Has the Michelson and Morley experiment performed having the
observer ( light sensor)
placed on a different frame of reference that the light source and
mirrors?

Let's analyze this short statement,
    "A source of light emits a photon in
    time t_0, ..."
This statement as such describes an event that

In Part 1 I described how authors trying to sell Relativity to a student
have a problem in that the 'logical' steps which end up with current
belief are inexorably tied in with belief in the aether and today the
"aether" is a forbidden word - a despised concept.

How does the dimensions of a spinning ring change wrt its angular
velocity?
I would have thought it should Lorentz contracting along its
circumference, yet this would also imply a smaller radius, even though
