Why isn't -2X in this drawing? Because these are two separate drawings, which were separately in the video earlier, and for preview purposes they were combined into one. These two drawings combined into one are an illustration of the fact that, according to special theory of relativity, from the point of view of observer A station A is at rest and from the point of view of observer B station B is at rest. But apparently this simple obviousness is too complicated for you.
The distances I gave are only meaningless representations of concepts 'far' and 'near'. But apparently this simple obviousness is too complicated for you.
And now I will tell you why I made this entry here. Because I want this video to have as many views as possible. And it doesn't matter what idiots, that can't understand the obvious, are clicking on the video link.
Let's say this is the case:
Station A and station B accelerated in the same way to half the speed of light. Then the observers turn off the engines. Now, from the viewpoint of observer A, clock B shows later time than the clock A, and from the viewpoint of observer B, the clock A shows later time.
[It's what you claim.]
When stations are flying at constant speed, from the viewpoint of observer A, the clock B is running slower, and from the point of view of the observer B, the clock A is running slower.
[It's what special theory of relativity says.]
So, according to you, after covering some distance at constant speed by both stations, both clocks will show the same time. Because the relative increase of clocks' running speed would be offset by their relative delay.
Now is the second case:
In the second case everything is the same, exept that the stations covered at constant speed the distance 1000 times bigger. So in this case, relative time dilation was occuring 1000 times longer than in the first case, but the relative increase in clocks' running speed was the same as in the first case. In other words, in the second case the relative time dilation was 1000 times greater than relative gain of time. So even for Beatrice is obvoius that if in the first case the clocks showed the same time, in the second case they couldn't show the same time. But you claim that in every case both clocks would show the same time. When I told it to my she-goat, she almost died of laughter.
