Pete replied to a thread Is relativity of simultaneity measurable? in Physics & Math

This obstructionist behavior is effectively trolling, and is not acceptable. Tach, you are not a teacher. If you see an error, point it out...

Pete replied to a thread Is relativity of simultaneity measurable? in Physics & Math

As I'm sure you're aware, the only possible experimental proof is for two-way speed, not one-way.

Pete replied to a thread Is relativity of simultaneity measurable? in Physics & Math

Thread reopened. I concede that relativity of simultaneity is not measurable unless we first assume without proof that the speed of light is frame...

Pete replied to a thread Relativistic parallel rods in Physics & Math

I find it puzzling that Tach acknowledges that two rods can pass each other as shown, but can't seem to accept that they could collide. Unless he's...
