Multiplying through the equation for x' by v and adding it to the equation for t' gives vx'+t' = t(1-v^2)g = t/g, so we have t = (t'+vx')g. Likewise, multiplying through the equation for t' by v and adding it to the equation for x' gives vt'+x' = x(1-v^2)g = x/g, so we have x = (x'+vt')g.

If you are defining the symbol v' to be identically equal to v, then indeed it is tautological that your symbol v' is identically equal to v. On the other hand, if you are defining the symbol v' to be your social security number, then it is tautologically your social security number. Tautologies of the kind you are engaged in have no cognitive significance. Remember, the dependence of g on v is fully accounted for in the grade school algebra that shows how the parameter v (defined as dx/dt of the spatial origin of S' in terms of S) appears in the transformation and its inverse. It follows per the above grade school algebra that dx'/dt' of the spatial origin of S in terms of S' is -v. See above.

Townesy, let's forget all about Einstein, Relativity, velocity, time and distance.  Let's consider four well constructed strings in algebra:

x' = ( x - vt )/sqrt[ 1 - (v/c)^2 ] 
t' = ( t - vx/c^2 )/sqrt[ 1 - (v/c)^2 ] 

x = ( x' + v't' )/sqrt[ 1 - (v'/c)^2 ] 
t = ( t' + v'x'/c^2 )/sqrt[ 1 - (v'/c)^2 ] 

Now let's show that v' = v can be derived using the above four well constructed strings.  Can you do it?  Or do you decline?

Right, your fundamental misunderstanding is much more elementary, and really has nothing to do with relativity in particular.

That's a false proposition, because those equations imply only that v'= v or -v - 2xt(1-v^2)/(t^2+2txv+x^2).  You see, all your sophistries reduce to the same kernel of idiocy, namely, your belief that the relation f(a)=f(b) implies a=b.  That's why you think 1=-1 is derivable from arithmetic, and why you think v'=v is derivable from algebra.  Your brain can't grasp the concept of non-linear functions.

That's actually the solution in terms of x' and t'.  In terms of x and t it is v'=v or -v + 2xt(1-v^2)/(t^2-2txv+x^2).

There is a relation that gives x',y',z',To' in S', as a function of 
x,y,z,To in S.

Ditto for cosµ and sinµ.

Ditto also for the electromagnetic wavelengths (I gave all the 
correspondences) and on that, they are exactly the same as those of the 
physicists.

So they can't be wrong.

It is not possible to go wrong by going through two different paths.

Let us take the case of a man who does not know how to read the signs, and 
who leaves Paris with a compass and an astrobal, and another leaves Paris 
with two totally different instruments.

They must go to Rome.

Arrived there, they are not sure, but, having gone through very different 
paths, they meet on the spot.

It is then very likely that both are right: they are indeed in Rome.

It would therefore be very surprising if all the equivalent calculations 
and equations given by Hachel and the scientists were wrong.

That would be "weird".

So they are definitely good.

At least a priori.

On the other hand, in some places (Langevin traveler, Tau Ceti traveler in 
an accelerated environment) there are very significant differences in the 
calculations.

There is therefore, there, someone who is mistaken given the very 
significant discrepancies and the very different explanations (I have 
shown why it could not be me).

But alone on a scale and all of them on the other pan, I can only bow to 
the number (and not to the reality of things).

On the other hand, on the things that we have in common, and that I have 
accredited, I do not think it serious to contradict.

The Lorentz transformations have a reciprocal transformation.

To each event in R corresponds the same event in R (otherwise it is 
absurd), and vice versa.

Here, it's very easy (the SR is very easy if you pay attention to the 
multitudes of little traps it conceals), you just have to change the 
direction of the displacement of the reference frame which slides on the 
other, and to transform v to -v.

All the results are then concordant.

If they don't match, it's because we made a small sign or calculation 
error.

Otherwise, it's unstoppable.

It works very well.

Especially since nature is made like that, and we are talking about 
reality.

Let me get this straight, Townes.  You are saying that v' = v in my system of 4 equations is a false proposition.  In other words, your testimony to this forum is that the equation

v' = v

can not be derived from the system of four equations.  Correct?

No, that’s not true. You can do it the way I showed you in January, by
using the transformation equations to track the location of the origin of
one frame in the other frame. 

Or you can simply do algebra on the equations for x’ and t’ in terms of x,
t, and v, to find equations for x and t in terms of x’, t’, and v, as both
Paul and Townes showed you. Now you compare those to the equations of x and
t in terms of x’, t’, and v’ as you wrote them. They are identical if and
only if v=v’. 

It’s just algebra.

If it's just algebra Bodkin, then why can't you, or Townes or Paul produce a theorem that reads "v' = v" from the four fundamental equations????

Read what I just said. Paul and Townes *just* walked you through that
algebra. Can you not even TRY to fill in some of the trivial steps
yourself? 

Start with x’(x,t,v) and t’(x,v,t). Those are shorthand for the Lorentz
transformation equations. Write them out in full glory.

Now do the algebra to solve for x and t, so that you now have x(x’,t’,v)
and t(x’,t’,v). You’ve done nothing but algebra. 

Now compare these equations with your x(x’,t’,v’) and t(x’,t’,v’). You’ll
see they are the same only if v=v’.

Bodkin, I tell you that neither Townes nor Paul did that because nobody on earth can do that.  Not even Dirk.  Townes simply typed out a "v" then an apostrophe, then an equals sign, then another "v".  That's all the effort and all the thought he put into it.  Don't believe me?  Watch, Townes will NEVER provide a derivation.

You are saying, Pat, that no, you cannot do 5th grade algebra. And
furthermore, you are saying NO ONE can do 5th grade algebra, until they
show you how to do 5th grade algebra on your demand. 

That’s really what you want to say?

By the way, Pat, that 5th grade algebra that you say NO ONE can do, is in
fact in Chapter 4 of that book you said you’d work through.

I'll say this, Bodkin:

There is no pathway, comprised of validly deduced equations, that leads from these four premises of well-formed algebraic strings:

x' = ( x - vt )/sqrt[ 1 - (v/c)^2 ] 
t' = ( t - vx/c^2 )/sqrt[ 1 - (v/c)^2 ] 
x = ( x' + v't' )/sqrt[ 1 - (v'/c)^2 ] 
t = ( t' + v'x'/c^2 )/sqrt[ 1 - (v'/c)^2 ]

to this well-formed conclusion string:

v' = v

PROVE ME WRONG!!!

Respectfully,

TMWBTLTs

Do you, or do you not, know how to do the 5th grade algebraic steps
outlined to you by others here? 

Can you, or can you not, find those algebraic steps in the cited chapter of
the cited book in your possession?

Vo=0.8c

x=12
y=9
z=0 
To=-15 (local time)
t=0 (watch O proper time)

x'=40 
y'=9
z'=0
To'=-41 (local time)
t'=0 (watch O' proper time)

 x' = (x-v.To)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
 To' = (To-v.x/c²)/sqrt(1-v²/c²) 
 x = (x'-v.To')/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
 To = (To'-v.x'/c²)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

These equations, I found them myself starting from the principle of 
invariance of the observable transverse speed of light (ie Vo=c).
They are correct.
Henri Poincaré was not mistaken.

Do the mathematical verification, and you will see that the 
transformations from S to S' are the same as from S' to S.

It suffices to set v=-v because the relativistic observable velocities are 
reciprocal, since there is no privileged universal reference frame.

Attention, I understand your objection, simply, what it is necessary to 
understand that in the reciprocal of the transformation, -v is already 
transformed into +v.

You don't have to do it again,
otherwise you have for example x=x'+(-v)To'/sqrt(1-v²/c²) and the 
calculation obviously becomes wrong.

R.H.

Not true.  To avoid confusion, let’s use the symbol u instead of v’.  You’ve been shown explicitly (and agreed) that the first pair of equations x’=(x-vt)g[v] and t’=(t-vx)g[v] is equivalent to the inverted pair x=(x’+vt’)g[v] and t=(t’+vx’)g[v], which have the same form as the next two of your equations, x=(x’+ut’)g[u] and t=(t’+ux’)g[u].  So, the two expressions for x give the relation

(x’+vt’)/sqrt(1-v^2) = (x’+ut’)/sqrt(1-u^2)

Now, presumably you do not dispute that this equation is satisfied if u=v, so your question is whether it’s possible for this equation to also be satisfied for some value of u that is not equal to v.  By simple grade school algebra (I gave you the explicit solution previously), you can see that the answer is yes, and it is also possible for there to be a value of u other than v that satisfies the corresponding relation given by setting the two expressions for t equal to each other

(t’+vx’)/sqrt(1-v^2) = (t’+ux’)/sqrt(1-u^2)

However, depending on whether t is greater than or less than x (spacelike or timelike), only one of them gives equality, and the other gives negative equality (i.e., same magnitude, opposite sign).  So, for any u other than v, you can’t make both of these relations true at the same time, although you can make their squares both equal.  To see this, just square both sides, clear the fractions, bring everything over to one side, and factor.  One fact is (u-v), and the other factor gives the other value of u that makes the squares of these expressions equal.

This is a wonderful admission by you Townes.

This is baloney Townes.  I also note that you have not attempted to derive a damned thing, because like Bodkin, you can't.  But I can!  I can prove that your u and v CAN NEVER EQUAL EACH OTHER.  NEVER!

This means that the LTs rely on the false assumption that v = v'.  What do you say to this Townes?  And how does it feel to have mathematical sword of Damocles over your sorry head?

With u=v both sides of that equation (and the corresponding t equation) are explicitly identical, so to claim that those relations are not satisfied is insane.  The only sane question you could possibly be asking is whether it’s possible for this equation to *also* be satisfied for some value of u that is not equal to v. 

Now, by simple grade school algebra (I gave you the explicit solution previously), you can see that the answer is yes, i.e., the above equality has two solutions, one with u=v and one with the other value of u that I gave you previously.  And it is also possible for there to be a value of u other than v that satisfies the corresponding relation given by setting the two expressions for t equal to each other 

(t’+vx’)/sqrt(1-v^2) = (t’+ux’)/sqrt(1-u^2) 

However, depending on whether t is greater than or less than x, only one of them gives equality, and the other gives negative equality (i.e., same magnitude, opposite sign). So, for any u other than v, you can’t make both of these relations true at the same time.  Do you understand this?

Goodness no.  Remember, you're not even talking about relativity or space or time or velocity any more, you are talking purely about your struggles with grade school algebra, and you have stipulated the relationship between x,t and x',t', so the derivation of the Lorentz transformation is not even in dispute.  You have stipulated it in this discussion.  Remember?  You're essentially just trying to understand why the inverse of a system of linear equations is unique.  

That is pure grade school algebra.  For example, given X'=X-K, we have the inverse X=X'-K.  Your claim is that the K in the first equation cannot be the same as the K in the second equation.  Your claim is obviously insane.  Understand?

You’ve been shown explicitly (and agreed) that the first pair of equations x’=(x-vt)g[v] and t’=(t-vx)g[v] is equivalent to the inverted pair x=(x’+vt’)g[v] and t=(t’+vx’)g[v], which have the same form as the next two of your equations, x=(x’+ut’)g[u] and t=(t’+ux’)g[u]. So, the two expressions for x give the relation

> With u=v both sides of that equation (and the corresponding t equation) are explicitly identical, so to claim that those relations are not satisfied is insane. The only sane question you could possibly be asking is whether it’s possible for this equation to *also* be satisfied for some value of u that is not equal to v.

And it is also possible for there to be a value of u other than v that satisfies the corresponding relation given by setting the two expressions for t equal to each other

Townes, I'm tired of reading your word walls.  You never derive.  You only type more words.  Useless words.  I am going to destroy your words....tomorrow.  Or maybe later tonight.  Go to sleep tonight secure in the knowledge that your LTs will be dead before the sun sets tomorrow.
