Never mind. I don't know what you are talking about and I believe you don't know what I am talking about. I see no point in continuing this thread.
I going to reply one part at a time. I am not concluding that Proper Acceleration is different. Same Proper Acceleration for the 2 particles is a...
I'm not referring to a velocity transformation here, though I suppose one is implied. I am referring to the transformation between an accelerating...
I guess I didn't get my point across. Yes, the transformations are for constant Proper Acceleration. But that is not the reason I think they are...
Whoops. You are right about the initial conditions of Bell's Space Ships. I just checked Wikipedia and it agrees with you that the initial...
Thanks, Using the term "particle" would be consistent with the rest of the world and less subject to misinterpretation. I will use particle from...
Note: This post uses a lot of "Tex" formatting. I never get "Tex" right the first time. My apologies if you see it mangled. I expect to be editing it...
more testing
I can't find your references again. My copy of Spacetime Physics is copyrighted 1992. I expect it has been extensively rewritten since 1966. In...
I couldn't find your reference in my Taylor and Wheeler text, but a quick look at my other references supports the position of halc. v = at/sqrt(1+...
Trying to have tex in a stream of text....... A uniformly accelerating system of coordinates S_{accel} (often called A uniformly accelerating system...
Testing...... x(x_{accel}, \tau) = \frac{-1}{\kappa} + \left(x_{accel} + \frac{1}{\kappa}\right)cosh(\kappa\tau) Formatted formula should appear...
The image displays only when I am logged in. I thought that was normal. It's a *.png file. Would a different file format behave differently?
This post is a response to a post by exchemist on another thread. Quoting from Richard A Mould's book on Basic Relativity, Chapter 8, page 221: "To...
I am creating this thread to avoid hijacking another thread titled "Q&A with James R and Tony on the Twin Paradox Experiment" The subject of this...
"according to James R, we can draw the conclusion that acceleration is the key factor affecting time dilation" Acceleration is the key factor...
You misunderstood. I am surprised to see you holding the misconception that SR does not deal with acceleration. You are not alone. Many members on...
Relative Velocity --- causes ---> Time Dilation Acceleration --- causes ---> Relative Velocity --- causes ---> Time Dilation The second statement...
My compliments to exchemist. (and Janus58, and James R and the others replying to this thread). You guys have more patience than I could ever...
I don't usually follow hopeless threads like this but I noticed your post. Neat! As a programmer, I immediately thought, maybe I could avoid build...
