Re: Question about light clock and derivation of time dilation

You're right. Any other coordinate but t=0 shouldn't
be PHYSICALLY consistent. Androcles' "argument" works
the same for t>O as it "works" for t<0.

Unfortunately, with morons like Androcles and Wilson,
even using their own arguments on trivial facts does not
make them to think (it is far too late).

How could you confuse the trivial fact of
talking about events taking place before
an arbitrary origin of a clock and traveling
to the past ? It is even worse than confusing
closing velocity and relative velocity (what you
do for years).


Coordinate don't really exist, either -- they're just
convenient ways of organizing the observations. :-)


Right. But I didn't say "exist", but "has a meaning".
