Relativity?
Re: Relativity?
Orbiting is NOT traveling in a straight line, which takes us back to what I have previously stated.
Where is the actual evidence for this? And, what is that evidence actually based upon?
This might be able to be explained. Just NOT in the way you and others think.
The link provided had already jumped to a conclusion, and was then trying to base arguments for that conclusion, which is NOT the way science is meant to be done.
You are just like the followers of religious texts. Whatever is written in the book that one believes is true, is then gospel. Every thing is relative to the observer and you observe and follow whatever is written in science texts. You are just another believer, and follower. You are NOT open to any thing other than what you already believe is the truth. Remind you of some one?

Nothing really substantial in there.davidm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 5:57 pm Here ya go! See how easily you could have found that yourself?
Again, every thing is relative to the observer.
What appears to a travelling observer may in fact not be correct.
A traveling observer still takes some time to travel some distance, no matter what speed they are traveling at. What they observe is up for contention. However, to people like you who believe they KNOW the answer, are unable to contend with.
What a traveling observer observes, and what the actual truth is, is very easy to distinguish apart. Unfortunately though some observers are just moving along fixated on to what they already see and believe is the truth that they are unable to learn how to make the distinction.
Re: Relativity?
Your answer is the observers in the ship experience some thing different from the observers on planet earth.davidm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 6:30 pmUnbelievable!
I have already ANSWERED this question, AND provided a link to the blog of a physicist who expands upon the answer in some detail!
Did you not READ that post? Did you not READ the blog post? Do you not REMEMBER my post???
It's simply breathtaking that you keep asking the same questions over and over that have been answered over and over.
You keep forgetting that what an observer observes may not be the actual truth. You also keep forgetting that what you are observing may in fact be NOT the actual truth also.
You, unfortunately, are unable to see what My actual question is asking. This is, again, because of the ability of beliefs to blind people from observing and seeing what IS actually happening. You BELIEVE you already KNOW the truth, and those that are unable to see what you see are just to stupid. The actual fact may be the opposite. Amazing really.
If it is supposedly an empty exercise, then WHY do you persist. You are NOT the one I am looking for. I am looking for those ones who are able to learn and understand some thing new. You, so far, unfortunately have shown you are NOT capable of this.

Re: Relativity?
Of course not. Because absolutely every thing is relative to the observer. The 'meaning' obviously is and would be wholly depended upon an observer's definition of 'God' AND 'Everything'.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 11:31 pmA united perspective from Everything and a God perspective do not necessarily mean the same thing.ken wrote:You were the one who called it a God perspective.

Again you are making another assumption without any actual knowing of the outcome. A God perspective may well be easily within the
remit of science. In fact the truth may well be the exact opposite of what you assume is true
YES, totally agree.
This is what I have been saying ALL along.
What is the actually difference, to you?surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 11:31 pmIf one simply means all current relevant knowledge then that is absolutely fine. But if one literally means God then that is something entirely different.
What is your literal meaning of 'God'? And, is YOUR meaning the ultimate and only one?
God has no place in science and so his name should not be invoked.[/quote]
Why not? What IS 'God'?
Why can YOU make that judgement?
What makes YOU so special to KNOW what science can or should look at or not?
I do NOT fail to understand that this is what you think, see, assume, and/or believe is true.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 11:31 pm I only mentioned it since you fail to understand or acknowledge
the fact that there is no such thing as a single frame of reference for all observers in the Universe and that time slows down the closer that an object of mass gets to the speed of light.
I also will NOT acknowledge some thing, which may in fact NOT be true.
I acknowledge that you observe that as being true.
I acknowledge that, to Me, there is such a thing as a single frame of reference for ALL observers, and, that there is NO such actual thing as 'time'. So, "time" can NOT slow down, nor speed up.
I will also make it known that things, such as what is generally called "time" ONLY APPEAR to slow down when an observer is traveling at a faster speed. BUT, the truth is then brought into perspective when that observer slows down again. ONLY when at pure rest the actual truth is observed, seen, understood, AND known.
But I am the One who first came up with and have already stated, Absolutely EVERY thing is relative to the observer. Also, Absolutely Everything is relative to Its Self.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 11:31 pmIt is called Special Relativity because everything is relative to everything else. The clue is in the title
There is NOTHING special about relativity. Relativity is already clearly obvious as it can be seen EVERY where.
There was NO use for a theory about relativity because there is NOTHING to dispute regarding relativity anyway.
Also what is in the title of a 'theory' does NOT make the theory any more right or correct.
You really seem to have some warped view about what it is that I am actually saying and talking about. Hint; A little clarification, from you, would held you considerably.
Re: Relativity?
Why make that assumption at all?
It is NOT even true to begin with.
'Time' can NOT and does NOT dilate.
'Length' can NOT and does NOT contract.
These things ONLY APPEAR to happen, to a traveling observer.
For light clocks yes they would "tick" slower and faster because of the way they are designed, created, and function. This is because these clocks work relative to light, or to the speed of light. For other clocks they would NOT "tick" faster nor slower because of the way they are designed, created, and function. These clocks do NOT work directly in relation to light (or the speed of light) as the light-clocks do.[/quote]
Human being do NOT use light-clocks because of the reason that you are showing now. Clocks were invented to measure, at a fixed rate, events relative to light. A light-clock's rate changes with speed so they are of no use in what clocks or "time" was invented for, that is to more easily compartmentalize events.
All bodies, including human ones, age at a certain rate. This rate is NOT depended upon how fast that body is traveling or not, except there may be some tiny amount of fluctuation but human beings would NOT be able to detect that anyway.
There is no such thing as "its" speed of light because light-clocks do NOT have a speed. Light-clocks do NOT have a speed of light and they also do NOT affect the speed of light in any way, shape, nor form.

Let's assume time changes because of time dilation and length contraction. Now, would that mean that the distance/time travelled would be different for each light clock thus making it 'tick' faster or slower? If so, then that means that the following still stands: "If we relied upon a light-clock to tell us time, I don't see how the light-clock is a real manifestation of a real time. No one would age any differently because of a sundial speeding up or slowing down. Likewise, with the light-clock, only if its speed of light changed would time itself truly change."
Hopeless!
But if you are right, as you are proposing here, then you NEED to word your argument/s a lot better.

Keep making a fool of yourself, if you enjoy it.
Re: Relativity?
Seems a bit convoluted. As far as I can tell, it is set up to produce a series of stills. As with any film, it doesn't matter how far from the screen you are, or when you watch it; you see what the camera records. In this instance, a clock that is running slow, because of its relative speed.Noax wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 6:07 pmYes, the only cases where clocks can be legally (frame independent) compared is when they are in each other's presence, which is what you've set up in your scenario. That's what made it a good example.OuterLimits wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 2:36 pm The problem is specifically set up so that the platform clock is only seen by a train observer as they are minimal distance. so that the issues of "measuring a moving clock in one's own inertial frame" and whether that is illusory are circumvented.
Re: Relativity?
Exactly.OuterLimits wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 12:56 amNobody travelling with one of these clocks finds it to be moving slower.
But it is ONLY an appearance of what is happening. It obviously is NOT what IS actually happening.OuterLimits wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 12:56 amEverybody measures that a moving clock is moving slower.
NOT ALL people find that. I observe, and thus see [understand], what actually IS. I do NOT observe and see any other's clock moving slower, unless of course the power source is running out.OuterLimits wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 12:56 amOn person finds another's clock is moving slower and vice versa.
The earth ONLY appears to be flat, for example, but some people can still see past that appearance and observe, and thus see [understand], what actually IS.
But there is NO contradiction in relativity. Only some people see a contradiction in relativity.
We can KNOW, when we have ALL the information. And, the best way to obtain ALL the information is to remain OPEN to it.OuterLimits wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 12:56 amIf we are both on different ships passing one another on a foggy night, we see each other moving, and cannot know which one of us is moving.
Is that a contradiction?
To Me, a 'paradox' IS, a seemingly absurd or contradictory statement or proposition which when investigated may prove to be well founded or true.
So, a lot of what I say, may well seem, or appear, to be an absurd or contradictory statement. But not until clarification, which comes from investigation, will the actual truth be known.
Also, what APPEARS to be true, may not actually be true. 'Time dilation' AND 'length contradiction' ONLY APPEAR to happen to those travelling observers, but until investigation, from an absolute point of rest, only then will the well founded truth be observed, and thus seen and KNOWN.

Of course what you sometimes write does not make sense, but WHY you write the way you do is totally understandable. Also WHY you are unable to clarify and support that what you write is totally understandable. The reason YOU are the way you are is so obvious and easy to understand. But you seem to be always confused and bewildered about others, and far more so when they just do NOT have the exact same views as you have.
Re: Relativity?
Re: Relativity?
The question is being ask from the point that 'time' is relative to the clock that I am holding.
You are the one saying that the clock, (I am holding), and thus 'time', slows down the faster I,the observer, am traveling, right?
If that is NOT what you are saying, then what is it that you are actually trying to say?
