Where do you find anything about a clock?

Well, the first I read of it was in a book...

Thank you. I didn't find anything in the statement
about a clock either. I even used the word search
on a text editor. The word isn't there.

It is not too surprising when you consider that
nature had to have a way to move things around
before clocks were invented. :o)

Well, Galileo thought so, but he would have a harder time today than
he did in his lifetime. All he had to worry about back then were some
religious zealots.

Weren't clocks invented so religious zealots
wouldn't miss any prayers?

So what was Clifford Will talking about in his
book, some faked results?

He has an online paper.http://relativity.livingreviews.org/Articles/lrr-2006-3/index.html

Do you see some subject heading that might
inform us if:

<<All inertial frames are totally equivalent

experiment which differentiates in any fundamental sense

???

Sue...


Well, as I asked before, what about velocity?  

Indeed... What about velocity ?

<< Einstein's relativity principle states that:

In other words, it is impossible to perform a physical

Einstein generalized this result in his special theory of
relativity by asserting that all laws of physics take the
same form in all inertial frames. >>

Do you have a problem with that ?
