Hello special relativity world. I am adopting a new approach. Help me to understand this one OK?

James R,
How can the light emitted on the train arrive at the 300,000 km point on the train consitent with the oservation of the observer on the embankment that observes the lights emitted in both inertial frames arriving at the same spot at the same instant wrt the embankment?

Notice I am only asking how the lights observed by the embankment observer arrive the same instant at a single location in both frames.

I undersand SR to claim the light emitted on the train will arrive at the 300,000 km point on the train in one second train time.

Remember the speed of the train is 1/2c (.5c) wrt the embankment.

What are you talking about? You seem to have jumped into this new thread as if you're half way through a conversation, instead of at the start of one.

Start by posting your scenario.

There are two scientist. one in the train mentioned in this thread and another at the embankment.

Both are measuring speed of light. Form pole A to embankment; Both conclude speed of light is C.

James R see the opeing post for thios thread, please.

Anomolous,
I wasn't asking for their measurement of the speed of light. How does the light emitted on the train arrive at the 300,000 km point on the train in one second, as measured by anyone's watch moving or stationary?
