Looks like you have forgotten the mental beating you took the last
time you were here. Back for more, oh ignorant one?
Note: The only people who think Einstein's stuff is religion are folks
like you who can't hack the math who thus think we are taking it on
faith.
Eric,
Good to hear from you again. I seem to have forgotten the
mental beating. Maybe you could refresh my memory about it. Let's
see, I had some equations that represented times and distances.
x=wt
w=velocity of light
x'=x-vt
x'=wn'
t'=t
wn'=wt-vt
n'=t(1-v/w)
So with regard to Einstein's little explanation, if a photon is
going in a +x direction, it has a velocity of c; if it is going in a -
x direction, it has a velocity of -c. n' is the time it would take a
photon to travel a distance of x'. n' would correspond to t' in the
Lorentz equations as Einstein explained them. Einstein's equation was
x'=ct'. In other words, n' would refer to the transitions of a
cesium isotope molecule in S' as compared to t, which would be the
transitions of a cesium isotope molecule in S, and t'=t would refer to
the rotation of the sun or some other common measurement of time as
seen from both frames of reference.
OK, so let's just go through the mental beating once again for
old times sake.
