whatifitaint Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 For whatever reason, this post is causing me to be accused of being someone I am not etc. However, in different forums a correct answer was not given to this problem. Also, I am not sure if this forum allows questions like this to be asked. If not, just remove it and this is fine. Anyway here it is. This is a modification to the train-embankment experiment. I am hoping someone can solve this problem.Assume when M and M' are co-located, lightning strikes their common location. There is also an observer B' in the negative direction of M’.After some time elapses in each frame, B' and M become co-located.Considering only the negative and positive x directions, the goal is to determine all of the special relativity truths for the lightning light beams at the instant M and B' are co-located.1) The light beams are equidistant from M in the M frame. So, label these locations as (d,0,0) and (-d,0,0).2) The light beams are equidistant from M’ in the M’ frame. So, label these as (d’,0,0) and (-d’,0,0)To make it simple, label the common frame event of B’ and M being co-located as P. So, P is true if and only if B’ and M are co-located. Below are additional truths.3) If P is true in M, then P is true in M’.4) If P is true in M’, then P is true in M.5) Therefore, if P is false in M’ then P is false in M.6) Also, if P is false in M then P is false in M’.Do the lorentz transforms work consistently under these assumptions?
xyzt Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Do the lorentz transforms work consistently under these assumptions? Yes, the Lorentz transforms work. Yes, you just got banned for the same exact type of ant-mainstream trolling on the ScienceForums, chinglu. Why do you feel compelled to spam all the physics forums with this type of garbage?

You are a liar. I was banned for being accused of a sock puppet of chinglu. It looks like chinglu is inside of everyone's head. He/her is not in mine. But, since this is science, why not show specifically how the Lorentz transforms work. See how whatever I say does not matter when you are right? Edited November 28, 2013 by whatifitaint

Thank you so much. I really cannot get the answer and as of yet, it has not been provided. When provided correctly, then I am done with this question.
