Write down t'=... from LT. Is velocity of anything specific appearing ?

t'=(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

(hint: don't say light, c is the speed of light, a constant)
Yes, v is the velocity of S' relative to S.

Write down n'=... from your silly "theory". Is velocity of anything
specific appearing ?
Yes, v is the velocity of S' relative to S.

(Hints: 1. no 2. yes)
Well, I get 1. yes 2. yes
If you are timing events by the paths of
photons, then t' depends on the velocity of light.

If t (or t') is, in a specific case, labeling at what time something
is at a specific coordinates, then t (or t') would depend of the
velocity of that thing, this is the whole point of equations of motion
(something you'll never get). Choose to consider anything else than
light, like a cricket ball, you'll see the velocity of the ball appear
in the equations of motion of the ball (in S and in S').
You won't see the velocity of the ball appears in the LTs.

Really, Robert, your idiocy is quite fascinating.- Hide quoted text -

Uh huh. So why are you saying v is not a velocity in the Lorentz
equations?
