Oh, wow, one of _these_ problems!

Here, David, I'll give you the key, but it's in the form of a
question:

When Al gets to pump B, what time is it at pump A?

When Al gets to pump B, as my original post stated, the time shown on
the clock at pump A is 250 seconds.

Wrong.

Now, using what you know of Lorentz transforms and simultaneity in
special relativity, tell me why I could tell you it was wrong without
even checking your arithmetic.

Here's a hint: No matter what _single_ answer you gave, it would be
wrong. Tell me why.

Good one! Indeed, that may well be the heart of the problem.

Steve Lawrence the hypocrite:
"In general I'd say there are three main reasons people ignore questions
in this forum.
1) They accidentally overlook the question (not really ignoring it) 2)
They think it's boring and don't want to discuss it 3) They can't answer
it and don't want to admit that." Ref:
news:pan.2007.01.14.14.05.37.850117@xxxxxxxxxxx

(1) is inexcusable, it is a declaration of illiteracy. (2) is bull***, it
is lame excuse for the truth of (3) (3) means they have been trapped and
proven wrong.

What hypocritical sal has failed dismally to answer is the simple
question, "How far is it from pump A to pump A?" So I'll ask you :
"How far is it from pump A to pump A?" Bad one!

Now, as another nearby example, I've been kind of ignoring Androcles'
question about the distance from pump A to pump A because that horse is
dead, I don't see any need to beat it any more.

Translation: Lawrence can't answer it and doesn't want to admit that.


It's a variant on the
question about the distance from the emitter to the receiver in
Einstein's derivation of the Lorentz transform, which A. has in the past
claimed is zero and therefore shows that C=0.

Yep, that's just what does do, thereby proving Einstein was a fuckhead.



And, as it happens, I actually did
already provide two perfectly good response to the pump-A-to-pump-A
question,

Lawrence is a fucking LIAR.

Tsk, tsk. You're cursing me out again, without even so much as asking why
I felt both answers were actually reasonable.

Neither physics nor mathematics cares about your feelings
and I don't either. You are a hypocritical fuckin' liar with your head
up your arse.

Back into the penalty box with you.

HAHAHAHA!
As if I care, you can't answer the simplest of questions,
you worthless piece of ***.
How far is it from A to A, fuckhead?
