Re: Special Relativity is Dead! (second proof)


Dirk,

Thanks for your thorough treatment of the experiment, and for the
calculations, that seems to be correct on a first glance. The problem
with this calculation is that the calculation rules of S.R. are only
applied from the viewpoint of K and not from the viewpoint of K'. The
problem is that anomalies and conflicts start to occur if you apply the
calculation rules of S.R. to the viewpoints of BOTH clocks. Proponents
of S.R. then usually say: that's not allowed because an accelerating
clock "is not in one inertial frame".

However, the journey of K' consists of three parts (traveling at v,
accelerating -2v, traveling at -v), of which two parts are inertial.
S.R. should therefore be applicable to these two parts of the journey
of K', and at the connections of the two inertial parts with the
accelerating part of the journey there should be smooth and continuous
and decent behaviour of the parameters of the experiment (speed,
elapsing time, incoming clock pulses, etc.).

If I apply the calculation rules of S.R. to the inertial parts of the
journey of K', and I compare the results with what you calculated for
K, then we can compute a difference, which must hold for the
accelerating part of the journey of K'. I have shown that properties of
the necessary behaviour during the accelerating part of K' are
anomalous. Your calculations went not as far as showing that this is
not the case.

Regards, Jan.
