That means that a clock second is not a set amount of time in different frames. So that means that Einstein’s definition is wrong. Instead, each clock second in different frames represents a different amount of clock time and that’s why each observer observes clock time dilation for clocks moving wrt him.. > > What would be the point of having a definition that meant that we could > not measure time? > > We want a definition that fits our experience of the passage of time, > and that can be used in calculations to predict how events will unfold. > > Sylvia. you mean flipping a coin, heads or tails? -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
