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? > > > > > > No. Why would I mean that? > > Sylvia. Forgive Miss, i might be reading wrong into what you wrote.. but you last sentence reads: calculations to predict how events will unfold I read it as "predict...events will unfold" as you have some "calculations" to predict events unfolding in the future. I was just wondering what kind of 'calculations' can be used to predict the future? Like horses in a race track. But, nevermind Miss, maybe you mean something else.
