Can anyone explain this rotating disk problem from the point of view
of a moving observer?
Davis Seppala is one of the mysteries of this group. Unlike
Spaceman, for example, he is smart enough to dream up
endless SR puzzles, many of them involving accelerating
reference frames, yet by his own admission he has practically
no understanding of SR.
Is he really an expert on the subject testing posters'
understanding?
Is he a bunch of psychology students performing
some kind of experiment on us all?
Is he just a troll who delights in stirring up discussion
and argument?
Any suggestions?
Could be any of the above, or could be he's what he says (doesn't seem likely), but does it matter? After all, this is a Relativity group and his usually well-posed questions are on-topic and ought to be welcomed without regard to his motives. Most regulars here however, seem to be more interested in critiquing the incessant babble of the irrational know-it-alls that infest this place.
2 cent contibution attached.
