Tom, I would appreciate a reference to a published demonstration that
SR is the approximate limit of GR. I thought Einstein wasted the last
40 years of his life trying to unify these two theories. Isn't this
why quantum-gravity is still a hot research topic: SR is about
electromegnetism (and so, eventually covered by QM) while GR is about
gravity?

Look in the beginning chapters of any textbook on GR. This is basic to
the formulation of GR.

For instance: Geroch, _General_Relativity_from_A_to_B_.
This is a non-mathematical introduction to the concepts of
GR, but I think it discusses this. Otherwise pull out the
big guns:
Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler, _Gravitation_.
Wald, _General_Relativity_.
... or other textbooks by Schutz, etc.

You are confused. SR is inherent in GR by simply applying GR to the
Minkowski manifold. What Einstein tried (unsuccessfully) to do is to
unify GR and electrodynamics. The search for quantum gravity is a whole
different kettle of fish -- Einstein was working with Maxwell's
equations, which we now know are only an approximation to QED, and this
is likely a major aspect of his failure. The real problem is unifying GR
and quantum mechanics....

BTW SR is more general than just electromagnetism -- it applies to the
entire standard model of particle physics (i.e. also to weak and strong
interactions, as well as to electrodynamics). This is a quantum theory
consistent with SR, but it is not consistent with GR.

You were correct about Sagnac being explainable by the Coriolis effect, when
analysed in the rotating frame.
You obviously read about it somewhere and probably don't really understand

Would you please explain to Roberts and Jeckyl the role that Coriolis plays in

Relativity Geometry
Relativity - Affine Geometry ?
Einstein's special theory of relativity is about measurements between frames
of reference in a state of non acceleration.


Not really. Special relativity can work with accelerated
objects and frames, but never mind.


It is an observation that the
velocity of light is independent of the relative velocity between observer
and the source. From this Lorenz postulated a length contraction to allow
for this. Einstein derived the same equation from the observations.
If you look at this equation there is no special frame so any frame may be
taken as the reference frame.
Let us consider the passage of mesons from the origin in the upper
atmosphere to their arrival at a counter on the earth's surface. The
observer "sees" the origin from his frame and since he is "looking" at the
meson then this point is only a few feet above the laboratory roof because
of the Lorenz contraction.


No, not at all.
The observer on the ground knows that and where in the upper
atmosphere muons (and other stuff) are created. Also knowing
how short muons live on the average, he calculates that there
are much more muons reaching the ground than expected.
It turns out that if the "internal muon lifetime clocks" are slowed
down by the precisely the amount described by the equations,
the number that reaches the ground fits the expected value.
This is "time dilation" in action.


Moortel Moortel what you call "how short muons live on average" your
masters used to call "muon lifetime at rest". But they don't even
mention it anymore. Why? Because people now know that this "muon
lifetime at rest" is one of the greatest frauds ever devised by
Einstein criminal cult:

http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.ph...owse_frm/threa...

When the lifetime "at rest" is measured, by "at rest" Einstein
criminal cult mean a crash undergone by the muon in which its speed
changes from about 300000km/s to zero. That crash is so terrible that
the muon "dies" quickly, much more quickly than muons that have not
undergone the crash:

http://web.mit.edu/c_hill/www/muons_paper.pdf
"In this experiment, we measure two of the basic properties of the
muon, namely, its mean lifetime and mass in its rest frame. We measure
the decay curve of cosmic-ray muons that have come to rest in a
plastic scintillator by looking for electrons produced in their
decay."

Pentcho, motion is detectable because it always starts with an
acceleration. This is true for anything except freefall. Freefall you
can measure when you hit the ground. For weightless acceleration of
gravity the detection of motion happens at DECELERATION.

Either way motion is detectable.

Yep, in the non-rotating frame they do have different speeds, c+v and c-v.
The start point isn't moving. They have identical frequencies, different
speeds and travel different distances in the same time. That's what
a different speed is.

In rayphases.exe your two oscillators have different frequencies, 0.7 Hz
and 0.5 Hz.
If you increase the speed to your fake maximum 0.005 then
there are 18 crests blue, a frequency of 0.9 Hz and 6 red crests,

Look, a kiddy jumping up and down on a bus doesn't change the frequency,
it changes the leap forward along the road as the bus increases speed.

I'll give you a clue.
Robert sat on the source and fired machine guns in opposite direction around
the rotating 4 mirror Sagnac apparatus. He concluded that from his point of
view, the bullets went around it symetrically and so must end up arriving at
exactly the same time and at the same rate. Therefore there could be no phase
shift according to BaTh.

What he didn't and still doesn't know is that the paths of inertially moving
objects are CURVED in rotating frames. The CURVED paths of bullets are slightly
different. The angles of reflection at each mirror is compounded at each
reflection.
The bullets arrive at the detector at the emission rate but are out of phase.

THAT IS HOW AND WHERE THE CORIOLIS FORCE CONTRIBUTES TO SAGNAC. THE PATHS ARE
CURVED IN THE ROTATING FRAME.

: YOU can tell Fecal Jeckyl, Tusseladd, Jeery and Humpty that *I* am right.
:
: I agree you ARE right....but I doubt if you know why.

You are too late for that, I've already drawn the gifs.
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonde...nac/Sagnac.htm


It should be drawn using the rotating frame....in which the mirrors remain
still and the light paths are permanently curved.

It is in the non-rotating frame

Yes

Therefore they have doppler shifted and different frequencies in the
non-rotating frame.


Yes .. but the detector is moving in the non-rotating frame, so you need to
invert the doppler shift again, and you get the fact that the frequencies
are the same at the detector. As is the speeds, and the time. So they are
in Sync

Any engineer who has heard a train whistle go past should know that.


Not when the engineer is on another train moving at the same speed and
direction as the train blowing its whistle. Derr.

That's what a different speed is.
In rayphases.exe your two oscillators have different frequencies, 0.7 Hz
and 0.5 Hz.

No.. in your animation, they are of different frequencies in the both

That animation shows the light curving for no reason in the non-rotating
frame. . It would travel in straight lines in the non-rotating frame (as
there is nothing to make the light travle in a curve) .. it is in the
rotating frame that there would be an apparent coriolis effect

: I want YOU to tell Tom why his bullet analogy is wrong.
I don't give a **** what you want. That arsehole is a total
clown anyway.

I'll give you a clue.
Robert sat on the source and fired machine guns in opposite direction
around
the rotating 4 mirror Sagnac apparatus. He concluded that from his point
of
view, the bullets went around it symetrically and so must end up arriving
at
exactly the same time and at the same rate. Therefore there could be no
phase
shift according to BaTh.

What he didn't and still doesn't know is that the paths of inertially
moving
objects are CURVED in rotating frames.


Yes .. that is correct .. they appear curved in the rotating frame

The CURVED paths of bullets are slightly
different. The angles of reflection at each mirror is compounded at each
reflection.
The bullets arrive at the detector at the emission rate but are out of
phase.

THAT IS HOW AND WHERE THE CORIOLIS FORCE CONTRIBUTES TO SAGNAC. THE PATHS
ARE
CURVED IN THE ROTATING FRAME.

: YOU can tell Fecal Jeckyl, Tusseladd, Jeery and Humpty that *I* am
right.
: I agree you ARE right....but I doubt if you know why.
You are too late for that, I've already drawn the gifs.

It should be drawn using the rotating frame....in which the mirrors remain
still and the light paths are permanently curved.


Yes
