Well, possibly.

But the text in a scientific paper is not meant to be written in a 
hidden code, but must be understood as it is.

So, the text of a paper had to be interpreted as if it were cast in 
stone and meant litterally verbatim.

You ignored the problem, about which I have written.

That was this:

you claimed, that there are no errors in the text 'On the 
electrodynamics of moving bodies' by A. Einstein.

Now I wrote something, which indicates, that contrary to your claim, 
there are in fact errors in this particular text (actually the number is 
huge - more than 400).

But you failed to disprove my statements, but ignored them entirely and 
called them 'pathetic'.

Not possibly. Certainly.

Einstein's paper is written just like any other science paper. There
is no "hidden code" there.

No, it is meant to be read with understanding by a reader presumed to
be able to follow such texts without undue difficulty. Nobody reads
science papers "verbatim" because they are never written explaining
everything (as a student text would be). So science papers frequently
contain things unexplained from a didactic POV. It is a part of the
peer reviewer's job to check if this sort of thing is not being carried
too far in the "too obfuscated" direction.

Of course I failed, this is a very well-known phenomenon: it is practically
IMPOSSIBLE to convince an arrogant ignoramus that he is wrong. As I
had mentioned many times before, the reason I respond to such nonsense
posts despite knowing full well that they won't work is: (1) entertainment,
(2) to be read by others.

I'm not trying to be mean here but you do have an emotional problem of
some kind in that you feel absolutely nothing wrong with contradicting a
theory you don't understand. This also leads you on the path of wasting
your time on a false quest that leads nowhere.

I had addressed an equation and the problem, which I have with it.


The text contains an equation for the quantity 'Phi':

Phi = omega*(t- (1/c)*(lx + my+ nz))

( from §7 page 15)

The values x, y and z are Carthesian coordinates in respect to the 
stationary system K and l, m and n are direction cosinus of a plane wave 
in respect to K.

The wave sets point (x, y, z) into a wavy state.

Time t was not defined, but can be assumed as the usual date and time, 
used by an observer stationary at the zero spot of system K.

The plane wave is actually an approximation of a spherical wave, which 
originates from a certain point stationary in system K, but far away.


This was in short the setting, which Einstein had used in §7.


But now my question:
what is Einstein actually doing here???????

( I personally think, it was nonsense.)

This function Phi is put into equations above, which are supposed to 
represent the electric and magnetic fields at point (x, y, z), caused by 
that plane wave.

Now he was adding up the Carthesian coordinates times the direction 
cosinus and devides the result by c.

This is some sort of distance related to the zero spot of K, which gets 
devided by c. The result would be a certain time value.

This time value is constant, because the source and the point are not 
moving.

But the wave did not originate from the zero spot of K, hence the 
distance of point (x, y, z) to the zero spot of K is irrelevant for the 
state of the fields at point (x, y, z).

(This can be seen, if you relocate the system K somehow, which had no 
effect on the state of that point, but on its coordinates).

I would interpret his attempt, as if he wanted to calculate a phase 
shift, but see neither any reason to do that, nor a possibility to do 
that with his equation.

A phase shift is actually occuring, if the source shines light from a 
different angle or if the observer moves.

But time t, to which that time value was added, is not synchronized to 
something, hence phase cannot be covered by Einstein's equations.

So why did want to calculate a phase shift value?

Phi(t,x,y,z) is the phase of the wave at the event (t,x,y,z)

How is it possible to be so utterly ignorant of elementary
physics, and then claim that the elementary equation you
don't understand must be nonsense?

Ignorance of own ignorance is the worst kind of ignorance.

As I do not speak in equations, such equations do not belong to my usual 
'vocabulary'.

I think as an engineer and tried to identify the intended meaning of the 
used variables in the context of the setting described by the author.

So: (1/c)*(lx + my+ nz) had to be some sort of time value, because it 
gets subtracted from t.

The only possible purpose for this term I could imagine was 'phase shift'.

But the setting itself would not allow to define phase, because the 
source has no defined position.

 From 'undefined source' would follow 'undefined phase' at a certain 
point (x,y,z), hence no need to consider phase shift (because the phase 
is unknown in the first place).

Now I tried to connect the variables x, y and z to the wave and failed, 
because the coordinates of the point (x, y, z) in respect to some 
coordinate system are irrelevant for the phase at that point, because 
the wave was not emitted from the center (or any other well defined 
point) in that coordinate system.

Next I tried to connect the variables l, m and n to the setting and 
failed, too, because the direction of the wave at the position of the 
observer is irrelevant for the direction of the ray at point (x, y, z).

In total:

we have a nonsense setting, which is described by a nonsense equation, 
which contain six irrelvant variables.

Nonsense is not understandable.

I meant, of course, that Einstein's derivation was nonsense, because it 
would require impossible settings.

Einstein meant, that the angles at the observer and the angles (of the 
incoming wave) are equal for a point (x, y, z) in some vicinity to the 
observer, hence he could use the local angles there, too.

This is a 'plane wave approximation' of a spherical wave.

But Einstein used actually plane waves from end one of infinity to the 
other.

This is nonsense, because that would require an emitter at infinity.

The problems with an emitter at infinity:

a signal from infinity could never reach us, because it takes an 
infinite amount of time

infinity is not a location and has no coordinates

the wave is also infinitely weak after such a journey.


So, he had to use a spherical wave at some distance and had to 
approximate it by plane wave for some region.

Now: 'approximation for some region' does not square well with movements 
at 'relativistic' pace, because anything at such speed would soon leave 
that region.

This problem was 'solved' by infinite plane waves, even if they do not 
exist.

But it's not nonsense.  I'll ask again: why do you assume that something
you don't understand is nonsense?  Most people (not experts) can
clearly distinguish between the two.

Except it's not nonsense.  You simply don't understand something there and,
oddly, assume that your misunderstanding implies it's nonsense.  Most
people do not operate this way.  They simply let it be.

You sentence cannot be parsed. What are "the angles at the observer"
and "the angles (of the incoming wave)"?  What does "equal for a point (x, y, z)"
mean and what is the relevance of "in some vicinity to the observer"?

OK.

Yes.

No, this is standard physics since before Maxwell.

This doesn't matter.

The setup is that the plane wave already exists.  We don't care how
it was created and that in real life it's an impossibility.  If this bothers you,
just think of it as a limit of a spherical wave with the source far away.

> infinity is not a location and has no coordinates 

This doesn't matter.

Ditto.  You are complaining about certain modelling constructs
that physics has been using since Newton, perhaps earlier.

Yes, the approximation is called plane wave and its formula is
as shown in the paper.

Since the approximation can be made arbitrarily perfect, this takes care
of any non-arbitrary constraint like the finite speed of light.

Yes.  Solved without the quotation marks.

That is simple geometry.

You have a wave souce somewhere remote and an observer on or near the 
center of a coordinate system K.

Now we can draw a line between these two points.

This line has angles twards the axes of the coordinate system K.

These angles have a cosine and those were, what Einstein used in his 
equation.

So far, so good...

But the observer was not meant with the equation, but a certain point 
(x, y, z).

Now we have no restriction mentioned for that point (besides of 'to a 
sufficent approximation').

So we can take a point, where the same wave hits that point at different 
angles. One such point would be, for instance, a point in twice the 
distance as the wave source, but on the same line mentioned above.

Now you will certainly exclude this point, because it is too far away 
and the source is at infinity anyhow.

Now we come to a 'battle' about 'sufficent degree of approximation' and 
whether a point with different angles belong to the meant region or not.

I solved this problem by excluding the observer from the setting and 
take the angles at that point only.

But Einstein solved the same problem by expanding the plane waves to 
infinity.

In my view, Einstein's 'solution' was nonsense, because no such waves 
are possible.

Well, possibly, but it's still nonsense, because no souce of any real 
wave can stretch from one end of the universe to the other.

Real waves obey Huigens principle and are more or less spherical.

The point can be chosen arbitrarily because the wave is plane.

The angle is the same everywhere because the wave's direction is 
(l, m, n)  everywhere.

Again, the wave is described by the equations for  X, Y, Z  and  L, M, N
which are the standard, pre-Maxwell, expressions for a plane wave.
In particular, its intensity is the same everywhere in space:

    intensity = Poynting vector averaged over one period = (c/8 pi).(X0^2 + Y0^2 + Z0^2)
(Gaussian units).

There is no battle, it's just an idealisation, just like point masses in
Newton, point charges in Maxwell, points in mathematics, etc. etc.
Since this idealisation can approximate real experiment arbitrarily closely
in principle, it follows that the formula (Doppler) so obtained is exact.

This is simplifying idealisation, like point masses, etc.  Physics and
mathematics are full of those.

This is an idealisation, like lines and curves in geometry are idealisations.

That doesn't matter.  Point is this configuration can in principle approach the
real one arbitrarily closely.  Hence the end result is exact.

That's how physics was done then. They often used Taylor expansion of 
functions, and if the expansion converged with higher terms becoming 
smaller and smaller, they'd stop after a certain number of terms.

For example, the Taylor expansion of 1/(1-x) = 1 + x + x^2 + x^3... but 
only for |x| < 1.  But if |x| is close to 0, the x^2 and higher terms 
may be considered to be small enough to be ignored, so they'll use the 
approximation 1/(1-x) = 1+x.  They may mention the cutoff power 
indirectly by stating the "order" of the highest power used. For 
example, 1/(1-x) = 1+x "to the first order".

The source of the wave is irrelevant to his discussion.  The wave is 
just there, as a fact.

And this is irrelevant since he doesn't use such a point or the source 
anywhere.

Again, the physics of the time frequently used truncated Taylor series.
This didn't need explanation since all physicists of the time were 
familiar with this, and the only point of importance was whether the 
truncation left sufficient accuracy.

'Einstein's solution' was not Einstein's. It was how physics was done

Not relevant. Plane waves are used because the math is simpler.  Physics 
uses such simplifications all the time. There are no such things as 
frictionless surfaces, massless ropes or frictionless pulleys, but high 
school level physics (mechanics) uses these all the time since it makes 
the math MUCH simpler. Nothing to do with Einstein, this level of 
mechanics is Newtonian.

Irrelevant. If a plane wave exists, its continued existence doesn't 
violate any laws or rules of physics.

You'll find these types of proofs start out with something like "Let 
there be a plane wave...".  Nobody cares whether that is exactly 
possible, whether sources at infinity exist etc. et. They can be 
approximated quite accurately.  A set of parallel plates large enough 
can produce a plane electric field.  A Helmholtz coil can generate a 
plane magnetic field (esp. with Maxwell's addon which makes it a plane 
field to the sixth order)

TLDR: Nothing whatsoever wrong with "let there be a plane wave...". Not 
an error of Einstein's. Not even something unique to Einstein, just 
standard physics.

The meant laws are not the laws of physics, but the laws of nature.

What physicists do or regard as law is entirely irrelevant.

It is totally silly to justify something odd in physics, because that is 
common practise.

Einstein insisted on 'flat' plane waves, while I insisted on Huigens 
principle.

It is both common practice and not silly.

Plane waves had been in use before Einstein was born.

You're trying to pick a nit that's not even there. Physics models nature 
so the laws of physics are modeling what nature is doing.

Regardless, the existence of a plane wave in nature does not conflict 
with its continued existence.

No, it is not. It is a simple solution which physicists have been doing 
forever.  Same with elementary mechanics with frictionless surfaces and 
massless ropes (I notice you snipped that part)

Einstein was doing what all physicists of his time did, and still do.

Despite all of your raving and spitting, Einstein's SR and GR have been 
very successful models, being validated repeatedly and never refuted in 
their domains.  Tissue?

You should distinguish between the theories themselves and the text, 
which Einstein had written.

In my view, the text 'On the electrodynamics of moving bodies' contains 
a large amount of various errors.

Since from errors follow nothing, it would also not follow, that SRT is 
wrong, even if that particular text is commonly called 'SRT'.

So, the theory itself may eventually be correct, but its derivation was 
imho not.

You should drop the h from that abbreviation.

Considered one of the greatest science papers of all times.

There are no errors in Einstein's 1905 SR paper.
