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

Tach is taking a break. No gloating. I've been too busy to keep up with this thread, which seems to have developed a few sidetracks. Fednis,...

Pete replied to a thread Find the speed of the current. in Physics & Math

I think you mean he travels 5km upstream, not 5km/hr. 8km/hr is the speed in still water. The current slows him down when going upstream, and...

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

This tangle of misinterpretation and diversion is why it's so hard to make progress. Tach, one-way light speed isotropy is what is relevant to...

Same link, previous section: Note that while these experiments clearly use a one-way light path and find isotropy, they are inherently unable to...

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.

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...

Ah. Well, I knew you weren't stupid. (Most of the time. :p It WAS suspicious when you disagreed with me.)

I think it may vary from state to state. I have a question. Are you just not a speller or do you misspell on purpose?

You're just mad you're not patriotic enough to come up with the idea to build a library to celebrate our questionable semi-literate ol' prez.
