Don't Look Good
ryans,
I am saying that acceleration is necessary, you say it is not. I go and calculate my findings with acceleration, you say there not valid. What can I do if you can't understand what I am doing. Physics moved away from philosophy a long time ago, its language is now maths, not words.
ANS: I hope you realize that you aren't snowing anybody here. Just a couple of posts back you conceeded to no acceleration and to do a simple test.
Hell, keep your acceleration. Your the one doing the calculations (Wouldn't expect you to accept mine). I even give you my word that I care less what acceleration you use and how it alters the clocks. I told you it has no impact on the test.
Find some other basis for your cut and run. This one doesn't wash.

Mac:That in a space craft traveling v = c that light would not impinge on a sail when in fact it would continue to pass the sail at v = c and that the ratio of Pi changes when you measure a rotating platform - See topic OK Relavist.

on't misconstrue my words. You know that I was answering the question in your framework, and this does not represent my opinion. You just got fucked up because even classically the highest speed obtainable is c as t->inf. [/quote]
ANS: Again a false point. My arguement was that light passing the sail maintained v = c. That is not classical. You need to do better than this. You are starting to look really silly. And at no point did you state you were speaking out of normal context.
Even other members responded that what you said was correct "AS VIEWED FROM THE REST FRAME OF REFERENCE" Which is what my arguement was against in the first place.
The rockets performance is based on Relativity and the constant velocity of light from the rockets point of view. Trying to use a form of velocity addition from the rest point of view was entirely out of the question. And so are your answers.
And hey fag, my answer to the rotating platform is correct, its just that you are to fucking stupid to grasp the answer.
ANS: To Other Members:
Does ryan have any supporters out there that thinks drawing circles on spheres answers the question?
THE QUESTION: "How do you propose to seperate the affect of Relativity such that it alters the ruler but not the merry-go-round, in a manner that causes the Pi ratio calculation to change."
I'm serious. If you have that answer I would love to see it.
And ryans, anytime you want to conceede my point which is that the examples given are invalid and that Pi doesn't change, then I will let you off the hook on this one. Surely you understand that no matter what geometry you invoke and where you put the ruler it becomes affected exactly just as the rotating frame you are describing and no effort to make Pi change works.
Not bad for an old man that doesn't do calculus - huh?
