Yeah... but not always, phuckwits are not mathematicians.

This is a copy/paste, don't take my comments personally, they were
intended for another.

On the court docket, Science v Einstein.

Prosecution opens:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury.

Reference: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/

The first transformation we are given is the Galilean,

x' = x-vt
y = y
z = z
t = t

You have to agree with that, Einstein states:

"If we place x'=x-vt, it is clear that a point at rest in the system k
must have a system of values x', y, z, independent of time."

We have completed the transform from the stationary system, K, to the
moving system
which I'm going to name k' because Einstein doesn't give it a name.
You'll see why shortly.

For all x in K, x' in k', (x',y,z,t) = g(x,y,z,t).

You cannot possible disagree with that, you can only object to my choice
of name.

It is clear, so ist klar, in agreement with experience, and because
Einstein says so, a point at rest in system k' is independent of time.

We have now completed the transformation from K to k', the function g,
and can place K on the back burner.

You cannot possibly disagree with that. (I know of one dumb relativist
that does...he insists the system of coordinates k' doesn't exist. Such
is the mentality I deal with here.)

Now we come to Einstein's transformation.
Not Lorentz's, not Galileo's, but Einstein's.

For all x in k', xi in kappa, (xi, eta,zeta,tau) = cuckoo(x',y,z,t)

You can now begin disagreeing out of pure phuckwittery.

We have a transformation from the moving system k' to the
moving system kappa.

Einstein would have you believe that

tau = cuckoo_tau(g(x,y,z,t))
xi = cuckoo_xi(g(x,y,z,t))

is called the "Lorentz transformation".

I call it the cuckoo transformation, there is no relative motion between
k' and kappa, the time in k' has been found to be x'/(c-v) and x'/(c+v),
the only purpose to the function cuckoo_tau is to satisfy Einstein's
fraudulent whim,

"we establish by definition that the "time" required by light to travel
from A to B equals the "time" it requires to travel from B to A."

As Counsel for the Physicists, I rest my case.

As Counsel for the Mathematicians, we have yet to prove that cuckoo_tau
is not a linear function.

But I did that already, so I'll repeat it with additional comment for
the incompetent.

Here it is algebraically:
½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
(given)

Doubling both sides:
tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v)) = 2 * tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))

Taking out the t for 3:00pm on a Friday afternoon:

tau(0,0,0,0)+tau(0,0,0,x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v)) = 2 * tau(x',0,0,x'/(c-v))

Synchronize clocks at t = 0, tau(0,0,0,0) = 0, we remove tau(0,0,0,0)+

tau(0,0,0,x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v)) = 2 * tau(x',0,0,x'/(c-v))

Taking coordinate x' as infinitessimally small, as Einstein says,
you not quite realizing x' is both a coordinate and a distance,
he does that to differentiate, so we leave the distance alone,
dx/dt = x/t anyway with a constant velocity.
But wait!
WHY is coordinate x' zero, other than the reason I'd given?
Very simple. There is no relative motion between k' and kappa,
the coordinate x' is independent of time. We do not have
xi = x'-ut or x' = x'+ut or any other function xi = ****up(x')
for Lorentz's sake, there is no u, v, w or velocity between system k'
and system kappa. The time at zero is the same time at x', same at
xi; no translation between frames, this is the moving frame only, the
stationary frame K is simmering on the back burner.

Hence:

tau(0,0,0, x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v)) = 2 * tau(0,0,0,x'/(c-v))

Removing the superfluous coordinates, all zero:

tau(x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v)) = 2 * tau(x'/(c-v))

Setting the time a = x'/(c-v) and b =x'/(c+v) for clarity:

tau(a+b) = 2*tau(a)

Renaming tau as f,

f(a+b) = 2f(a) or

½f(a+b) = f(a)

Now tell me that's a linear function, a b, we have

½f(1+0) = f(1)

"In the first place it is clear that the equations must be linear
on account of the properties of homogeneity which we attribute to
space and time." -- Albert Phuckwit/Huckster Einstein.

In the second place tau is not a linear function. -- Androcles.

In the third place there are no coordinates to transform.

In the fourth place you've been had! (and not by me either)

I ask the jury to convict Einstein on the charge of fraud.

Prosecution reserves the right to cross-examine the witnesses.

I now rest my case as a mathematician also.

Androcles whispers to his learned colleague, \YOU,
"I'd enter him an insanity plea if I were you, he's going down".

Counsel for the defence has the floor.
Androcles.

Here your first mistake creeps in. k' and kappa use different sets of
clocks to define their times (k' uses t-clocks, kappa uses tau-clocks).
This means kappa and k' - although at rest wrt one another - use
different length unit along the X axis. This means you cannot in
principle rule out a relationship of the type:

xi = some_function(x', v)

where v is the relative velocity of K and k'.

It's true though that some_function does not depend on t, I grant you
this much :-)

The time at zero is the same time at x', same at xi;

You need to make this more precise. As I just said the clocks of kappa
and k' will read different things at, say, the place where the mirror
is situated or at the common origin of k' and kappa.

no translation between frames, this is the moving frame only, the
stationary frame K is simmering on the back burner.

No movement between frames but there is still a non-identity
transformation between them.

Hence:

tau(0,0,0, x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v)) = 2 * tau(0,0,0,x'/(c-v))

That's wrong, you can't reset x' to 0 in just one instance and not the
others. Moving to the origin of k' gives a different k'-time reading
there, hence potentially different tau-time reading there.

(Snipping the rest).

Before "correcting you", let me state that Einstein was clearly the
greatest physicist of the 20th century and all his work is outstanding.

However Einstein was dissatified what he described as the "biggest
blunder"" he made. The original formulation of general relativity
contained what is termed the "cosmological constant". It was include
because at that time Einstein believe dthe universe to be of unchanging
size. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant
where this is explained much better than I ever could.

We must allow even our heroes to have feet of clay.

Read more carefully. LISA will be a detector, not a generator. I
believe (and couldn't quickly confirm this) be sensitive to detect
rotating solar sized black holes and certainly a star entering the
event horizon of a black hole within our galaxy.

You know, I must not know the right people. Because I've been

Although not a scientist I too studied it at university and graduate school
and I was never invited nor knew of anyone who was. I was friends with some
scientists who worked at the CSIRO - they were never invited either. I have
been invited to parties by IT companies who obviously wanted to influence my

It sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. If anybody *does* know

Right.

I can't withstand such a blatant contradiction. You must be right.


the coordinate x' is independent of time.

In other words, "objects at rest in kappa have x' coordinate
independent of t". OK.

We do not have
xi = x'-ut or x' = x'+ut or any other function xi = ****up(x')
for Lorentz's sake, there is no u, v, w or velocity between system k'
and system kappa.

Here your first mistake creeps in.

k' and kappa use different sets of clocks

Really! My shorter car has a different clock to my car.
Gotcha, now I can see where I was insane. Thank you for curing
me of that insanity.


to define their times (k' uses t-clocks, kappa uses tau-clocks).

Yes, of course. I see it now.

This means kappa and k' - although at rest wrt one another - use
different length unit along the X axis.

Yes, I see it now. The kappa clock uses Greek marathons and the
k' clock uses Roman miles.

This means you cannot in principle rule out a relationship of the type:

xi = some_function(x', v)

where v is the relative velocity of K and k'.

Yes, of course. My desk is shorter than my desk when a bus goes by
outside because I have two different clocks on it. I see where my
mistake crept in.

It's true though that some_function does not depend on t, I grant you
this much :-)

Oh thank you so much! How very kind of you.
Be careful, though, if you give me a inch I might take a day.

The time at zero is the same time at x', same at xi;

You need to make this more precise.


Ah, I seeeeee......
Let's try a footnote to make it more precise and duck the issue:
"We shall not here discuss the inexactitude which lurks in the concept
of simultaneity of two events at approximately the same place, which can
only be removed by an abstraction."
Is that precise enough?


As I just said the clocks of kappa
and k' will read different things at, say, the place where the mirror
is situated or at the common origin of k' and kappa.

Yes, you did, didn't you?
And I ducked it with a footnote. My mistake crept in.
Phuckwittery is so much fun, isn't it?
You do realize your buddy moortel doesn't come up to the lofty
heights of an IQ of 10, in double figures, like yours?
Perhaps he's moving faster than you and had it Lorentz-contracted.
He still thinks I'm the troll, I don't want to disappoint him.
Sorry, I was adding a little curve to spacetime there.


no translation between frames, this is the moving frame only, the
stationary frame K is simmering on the back burner.

No movement between frames but there is still a non-identity
transformation between them.

Like this non-identity matrix?
[ 1 0 ]
[ 0 1 ]

I'll be sure to keep two clocks on my desk. I did notice that 30
centimetres and 12 inches on my ruler were not precisely the same
length, but I never realized it was because of special relativity.


Hence:

tau(0,0,0, x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v)) = 2 * tau(0,0,0,x'/(c-v))

That's wrong, you can't reset x' to 0 in just one instance and not the
others.


Ah, I see. Ok, the time at zero is different to the time at x',
different
again at xi, even though x' is infinitessimally small and we shall not
discuss the inexactitude that the lurkers might perceive, and now I need
three clocks on my desk, one caesium, one balance-wheel and a cuckoo
clock with a pendulum because it's WRONG. Gotcha.


Moving to the origin of k' gives a different k'-time reading
there, hence potentially different tau-time reading there.

*those* parties where this rigging goes on.

Although not a scientist I too studied it at university and graduate school
and I was never invited nor knew of anyone who was. I was friends with some
scientists who worked at the CSIRO - they were never invited either. I have
been invited to parties by IT companies who obviously wanted to influence my
opinion, to all sorts of parties for all sorts of reasons, but never to one
rigging science.


It sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. If anybody *does* know
of such an event, I'd sure like an invite.

Well said.

Agreed :-)

This is simply insane. You know practically zero about the subject
and
yet you write... THIS?? Why even do you waste your time on this?

To make you waste yours.
It is called "to troll" ;-)

To me it's interesting - what are the limits of withstanding blatant
contradictions (infinite, apparently).

I think I'll agree with both of you and join you in the holy cause.
I'll accept my car is shorter than my car, I can no longer withstand
blatant contradictions.

It is exactly what you want people to do. And they do it.
Unless you are dishonest, you don't have to ask why.
