Time Dilation achieves isotropic Speed
When Lorentz invented time dilation as part of his contraction hypothesis he did so to allow the speed of light to remain constant. He thought that if the length of a moving object contracted, its time had to slow down or the speed of light would not be constant. However, Lorentz achieved the opposite effect with his thought process. Example: An object of 100m length traveling with a speed of 200000km/sec would according to the Lorentz transformation gamma = 1/sqrt(1-200000km/sec^2/300000km/sec^2) = 1.3416408 shrink to 74.535599m (100/gamma). At rest, light will cover 100m in 100m/300000000m/sec = 0.000000333333sec. Time dilation will expand this fraction of time to 0.00000044721360 seconds (0.000000333333secs*1.3416408) for an object with the speed of 200000km/sec. In the dilated time of 0.00000044721360 seconds, light at 300000000m/ sec will transit a distance of 134.16408m (300000000m/ sec*0.000000044721360sec) but if light had slowed down to 223607021m/ sec, light would exactly cover the original 100m in the dilated time of 0.000000044721360sec (223607021m/sec*0.00000044721360sec=100m). Clearly, if the speed of light had not been reduced, the law of physics d=v*t would have been violated. Peter Riedt |

And there also has to be a change in simultaneity as well However, Lorentz achieved the opposite effect with his thought process. This should be good for a laugh again... Example: An object of 100m length traveling with a speed of 200000km/sec would according to the Lorentz transformation gamma = 1/sqrt(1-200000km/sec^2/300000km/sec^2) = 1.3416408 shrink to 74.535599m (100/gamma). If you mean that a stationary obserer would measure as the distance between the endpoint of the moving rod at a given instance of time in the stationary system .. then yes At rest, light will cover 100m in 100m/300000000m/sec = 0.000000333333sec. OK Time dilation will expand this fraction of time to 0.00000044721360 seconds (0.000000333333secs*1.3416408) for an object with the speed of 200000km/sec. If you mean that at the location of the stationary observer, an interval that is 0.000000333333 on the moving clock will take 0.00000044721360 on the observers clock .. then yes. In the dilated time of 0.00000044721360 seconds, light at 300000000m/ sec will transit a distance of 134.16408m (300000000m/ sec*0.000000044721360sec) but if light had slowed down to 223607021m/ sec, light would exactly cover the original 100m in the dilated time of 0.000000044721360sec (223607021m/sec*0.00000044721360sec=100m). Clearly, if the speed of light had not been reduced, the law of physics d=v*t would have been violated. You are clearly confused about relativity. Let's look at this more clearly... Let us assume our coordinates are such that at x=0,t=0 we also have x'=0, t'=0 Let us assume that we have a moving rod of length L travelling at speed v Let us assume the light is shining along the rod in the direction of travel Let us assume the light is emitted at t=t'=0, when the rear end of the rod is at x=x'=0 In the stationary frame of reference, the rod is moving while the light is travelling at c So the light gets to the other end of the rod, as seen by the stationary observer, at x, t where t = L / (c - v) x = c . t ... because x / t = c That corresponds in the rods frame of reference to a point (x',t') x' = gamma . ( x - v.t ) ... Lorentz x' = gamma . ( c.t - v.t ) ... subs for x x' = gamma . ( c - v ) . t ... factorise x' = gamma . ( c - v ) . L / (c - v) ... subs for t x' = gamma . L ... cancel t' = gamma . ( t - v.x / c^2 ) ... Lorentz t' = gamma . ( t - v.t / c ) ... subs for x t' = gamma . (1 - v/c ) . t ... factorise t' = gamma . (c - v) / c . L / (c - v) ... subs for t t' = gamma . L / c ... cancel so the speed of light as seen in the moving rods frame is c' = x' / t' c' = gamma . L / ( gamma . L / c ) c' = c So you can see that the speed of light as measuring in the frame of the moving frame is c as well |

Clearly, if the speed of light had not been reduced, the law of physics d=v*t would have been violated. Peter Riedt This relates to the concept of the length contraction. Length contraction does not imply that the object in motion is shorter. Actually, it is be longer. In your example, L = 100m, c = 300000000m/s and t = 0.000000333333sec for v = 200000000m/s, L' = 74.535599m What it means is that length of 100m in the stationary system is equivalent to 74.5m in the moving system. Length of the rod still 100m in the moving system. Its equivalent length in the stationary system is 100* (100/74.5) = 134.164m. The equivalent length of the rod is longer in the moving system!!! Explanation: The same distance between 2 points measured in the moving system is shorter because the measuring metre stick is longer. Object elongates at the same rate as the metre stick so the measured length is unchanged. So as to compare to the stationary system, the moving object is longer. Due to time dilation, the equivalent time in the stationary system is = 0.00000044721360sec which is also longer d = 134.164 m (equivalent length of 100m of the moving system) v = 300000000 m/s t = 0.00000044721360 sec (equivalent time of 0.000000333333s of the moving system) v * t = 3 * 10^8 * 44.72136 * 10^(-8) = 134.16 = d Please note that both of d and t are longer in the moving system. |

Length contraction does not imply that the object in motion is shorter. Actually, it is be longer. No it is not .. why do you insist on this nonsense? In your example, L = 100m, c = 300000000m/s and t = 0.000000333333sec for v = 200000000m/s, L' = 74.535599m What it means is that length of 100m in the stationary system is equivalent to 74.5m in the moving system. Sort of. Length of the rod still 100m in the moving system. Its equivalent length in the stationary system is 100* (100/74.5) = 134.164m. No .. it is 75.4 .. where did you pull than figure from? The equivalent length of the rod is longer in the moving system!!! No .. it is not Explanation: This should be good for a laugh The same distance between 2 points measured in the moving system is shorter because the measuring metre stick is longer. The contracted length we see comes from the measurement of the length of the moving object from within the stationary system using a stationary mater stick . That stick is the same length as when it measures a non-moving obejct .. it doesn't grow because you are measuring something that is moving !!! Object elongates at the same rate as the metre stick so the measured length is unchanged. So .. now you have changed to talk about a moving metre stick measureing a moving object. In the moving frame there is no change to either the stick of the object. If the stationary frame measures the moving ruler they will get a shorter length in exactly the same way that the object has a short length. So as to compare to the stationary system, the moving object is longer. No .. it is shorter. GEes you are both stubborn and incredibly stupid .. contraction means 'shorter'. It doesn't mean longer. Due to time dilation, the equivalent time in the stationary system is = 0.00000044721360sec which is also longer You are making the same mistakes as the OP regarding what time dilation means. d = 134.164 m (equivalent length of 100m of the moving system) The 100m rod is 100m long in the moving system. A 134.164 rod in the moving system would appear to be 100m in the stationary system. You are completely confused about Sr and LT here. v = 300000000 m/s t = 0.00000044721360 sec (equivalent time of 0.000000333333s of the moving system) v * t = 3 * 10^8 * 44.72136 * 10^(-8) = 134.16 = d Please note that both of d and t are longer in the moving system. No .. they clearly are not .. not to anyone who has a correct understanding of the physics involved. You *know* that you do not (yet) understand SR .. why are you inflicting your misunderstanding onto someone else? |

Time Dilation achieves isotropic Speed When Lorentz invented time dilation as part of his contraction hypothesis he did so to allow the speed of light to remain constant. He thought that if the length of a moving object contracted, its time had to slow down or the speed of light would not be constant. And there also has to be a change in simultaneity as well However, Lorentz achieved the opposite effect with his thought process. This should be good for a laugh again... Example: An object of 100m length traveling with a speed of 200000km/sec would according to the Lorentz transformation gamma = 1/sqrt(1-200000km/sec^2/300000km/sec^2) = 1.3416408 shrink to 74.535599m (100/gamma). If you mean that a stationary obserer would measure as the distance between the endpoint of the moving rod at a given instance of time in the stationary system .. then yes At rest, light will cover 100m in 100m/300000000m/sec = 0.000000333333sec. OK Time dilation will expand this fraction of time to 0.00000044721360 seconds (0.000000333333secs*1.3416408) for an object with the speed of 200000km/sec. If you mean that at the location of the stationary observer, an interval that is 0.000000333333 on the moving clock will take 0.00000044721360 on the observers clock .. then yes. In the dilated time of 0.00000044721360 seconds, light at 300000000m/ sec will transit a distance of 134.16408m (300000000m/ sec*0.000000044721360sec) but if light had slowed down to 223607021m/ sec, light would exactly cover the original 100m in the dilated time of 0.000000044721360sec (223607021m/sec*0.00000044721360sec=100m). Clearly, if the speed of light had not been reduced, the law of physics d=v*t would have been violated. You are clearly confused about relativity. Let's look at this more clearly... Let us assume our coordinates are such that at x=0,t=0 we also have x'=0, t'=0 Let us assume that we have a moving rod of length L travelling at speed v Let us assume the light is shining along the rod in the direction of travel Let us assume the light is emitted at t=t'=0, when the rear end of the rod is at x=x'=0 In the stationary frame of reference, the rod is moving while the light is travelling at c So the light gets to the other end of the rod, as seen by the stationary observer, at x, t where t = L / (c - v) x = c . t ... because x / t = c That corresponds in the rods frame of reference to a point (x',t') x' = gamma . ( x - v.t ) ... Lorentz x' = gamma . ( c.t - v.t ) ... subs for x x' = gamma . ( c - v ) . t ... factorise x' = gamma . ( c - v ) . L / (c - v) ... subs for t x' = gamma . L ... cancel t' = gamma . ( t - v.x / c^2 ) ... Lorentz t' = gamma . ( t - v.t / c ) ... subs for x t' = gamma . (1 - v/c ) . t ... factorise t' = gamma . (c - v) / c . L / (c - v) ... subs for t t' = gamma . L / c ... cancel so the speed of light as seen in the moving rods frame is c' = x' / t' c' = gamma . L / ( gamma . L / c ) c' = c So you can see that the speed of light as measuring in the frame of the moving frame is c as well Jecko, The questions a Ahh .. so now you are asking questions instead of making bold statements that SR and LT is wrong .. that at least is an improvement ![]() ![]() If time slows down At a given point in the stationary frame .. but that's not what is happening here. and there is more time to do things will light go a longer distance or is the speed of light reduced? Either must occur to preserve the law of physics d=v/t. Relativity of simultaneity .. look it up. That is why Lorentz Transforms work .. they combine the three effects that you need to have together to make a constant speed of light work: length contraction, time dilation, and relativity of simultaneity. If you ignore one of those, then the other two *seem* contradictory (which is what you are doing). Jecko, If the going gets difficult, you hide behind 'observer frames'. I'm not hiding anywhere. I am being very open about it .. i showed you the full working using Lorentz transforms for your scenario. Now you use 'relativity of simultaneity' as another nebulous concept. Its not nebulous .. its simply something you haven't understood .. along with the rest of SR and LT. Do not criticise from a point of ignorance. My questions are easy to understand but perhaps too difficult to answer. They aren't at all difficult to answer. I showed you the correct working using Lorentz transforms that showed the speed of light was the same in both frames of reference. Now .. you need ot work out why your understanding of what SR and LT predict was so wrong. Don't try again with bull****. It doesn't solve anything. Indeed .. so stop with yours and do some learning about SR and LT. If you then still have some genuine problems with understanding .. ask some questions. If you then think there is really a problem with SR, then post it, along with your working and ask if anyone can see a problem with your analysis. That's the way to be taken seriously, and not be thought of as a troll or an ignorant crackpot. |
