Re: time intervals


Well, OK, so I don't know your terminology.  

Its not my terminology. It is the various terminologies used in SR.

It is kind of difficult
when everything you talk about is labeled t', but all of these t'
factors mean something different.  

Exactly my point. As I have been telling you, be careful when using
equations and words in SR. They all have different meanings depending
on the author. You need to *understand* what they represent.

What would happen if you had to use
two different t' factors in the same equation?

Use a different variable. e.g If you have 5 different reference
frames, do not call them S, S', S, S' and s. Call them, say, S, S',
F, F', F''. But dont get mixed up with the ' , meaning an index or
variable; it does not mean differentiation!
