Thank you Sylvia. i did not know that, but i can see how he could
do it, if he assumed the speed of light is the same in all frames
of reference.

Indeed i myself have shown that if t' = t, then the speed of light
can not be the same in all frames of reference, which is perhaps
much the same thing, except i conclude that therefore the speed
of light is not the same in all frames of reference, rather than
that t' is not equal to t eh!

(1) MEASUREMENT shows that the speed of light IS the same in all
inertial frames of reference/

(2) MEASUREMENT shows that t' is NOT equal to t.

The starting point for all this is the experimental evidence.

Your version leads to a prediction which conflicts with the experimental 
evidence - the speed of light is not frame dependent. So your version 
cannot be a correct description of the universe.

                                   = c + v

And if you don't like my experimental technique, then please tell
us the correct method by which we should determine the speed of the
light relative to YOU, as you walk towards the light.

You didn't describe an experimental technique, you just asserted (in effect) that if a light pulse has speed c in the original coordinates, and if we define another system of coordinates by a Galilean transformation moving at speed v relative to the first, then the light pulse has speed c+v in terms of these coordinates.  That's perfectly true, but it doesn't contradict special relativity, because those are not inertial coordinates.  When we say the speed of light is c in every frame, we really mean in terms of every system of (local) inertial coordinates.  (It obviously isn't c in terms of arbitrary coordinate systems.)

Isaac Newton thought that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass m is (1/2)mv^2, and this goes to infinity only as v goes to infinity.  If that were true, inertial coordinate systems would be related by Galilean transformations, but we now know (confirmed by experiments) that the kinetic energy of a particle is mc^2[1/sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} - 1], which goes to infinity as v approaches c, which implies that inertial coordinate systems are related by Lorentz transformations.  That explains why the limiting speed of light (and of everything else) is c in terms of any system of inertial coordinates.

Why are they not inertial coordinates Henry? I assume of course that 
'YOU' are traveling at a constant speed 'v' relative to the 
laboratory,and it would seem to me that the coordinate system in which 
'YOU' are stationary is just as much inertial is the coordinate system 
of the laboratory.

Tell me this Henry, if a train is traveling at v m/s and i shine a light 
from the rear to the front of the train, what is the speed of that light
relative to the station the train is traveling through ?

   (It obviously isn't c in terms of arbitrary coordinate systems.)
It is surprising how many people think it is Henry, and Einstein's 
writings clearly show that he himself was one of those people Henry.

You would be mistaken, because the relevant definition of "inertial coordinate system" is not just that it is unaccelerated, but that inertia is homogeneous and isotropic in terms of those coordinates, so that the equations of mechanics hold good without the introduction of fictitious forces.  You can read about this in any good book on the foundations of relativity.

Speeds are defined in terms of coordinate systems.  It's customary, unless otherwise specified, to define speeds in terms of *inertial* coordinate systems (defined as above), so that when someone asks for the speed "relative to the station", it is taken as shorthand for "What is the speed of the pulse of light in terms of an inertial coordinate system in which the station is at rest?"  The answer to that question is c.  That's also the answer to the question for any other system of inertial coordinates, including those in which the train is at rest.  This corresponds to the fact that inertial coordinate systems are related by Lorentz transformations, because energy has inertia.

To the contrary, Einstein knew full well (and explicitly wrote) that we can use other coordinate systems, and that the speed of light has different values in different systems of coordinates.  That is trivially self-evident.  Of course, in popular writings people often just tacitly use the shorthand, i.e., they say "relative to A" to signify "in terms of inertial coordinates in which A is at rest".

Again, in Newtonian physics, the kinetic energy of a particle of mass m is (1/2)mv^2, and this goes to infinity only as v goes to infinity.  If that were true, inertial coordinate systems would be related by Galilean transformations, but we now know (confirmed by experiments) that the kinetic energy of a particle is mc^2[1/sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} - 1], which goes to infinity as v approaches c, which implies that inertial coordinate systems are related by Lorentz transformations.  That explains why the limiting speed of light (and of everything else) is c in terms of any system of inertial coordinates.

Henry we can replace the 'YOU' walking towards the light at velocity v, 
with a lorry driving towards the light with a velocity v. The equations
of mechanics hold good within that lorry just as much as they do in the
laboratory, and the coordinate system defined by the lorry at rest is
just as much an inertial coordinate system as that of the laboratory.

It's customary, unless otherwise specified, to define speeds in terms of *inertial* coordinate systems (defined as above), so that when someone asks for the speed "relative to the station", it is taken as shorthand for "What is the speed of the pulse of light in terms of an inertial coordinate system in which the station is at rest?"

Yes that is indeed what i meant, just as i want the speed of light in 
the coordinate system in which the lorry is at rest in the previous 
example.

No it isn't Henry, any more than the speed of the light in the 
laboratory, relative to the coordinate system in which the lorry is at 
rest, is c.

The fact that energy has inertia does not mean that space and time
must distort as per the Lorentz transformation, and if you understand
this phenomena in those terms, then you really do not understand it at 
all, Henry.

The equations of mechanics are expressed in terms of a system of coordinates, and they hold good (or not) in terms those coordinates.  It is easy to construct a system of coordinates, co-moving with the lorry, such that the equations of mechanics do *not* hold good. For example, just skew the time coordinate from the front to the back.  The equations of mechanics hold good *only* if we define the time coordinate so that inertia is isotropic - otherwise the equations for equal action and reaction are violated.

> ...and the coordinate system defined by the lorry at rest is
> just as much an inertial coordinate system as that of the laboratory.

Again, being at rest in the lorry is not sufficient to ensure that the equations of mechanics hold good.  You must also ensure that the time coordinate is defined so that mechanical inertia is isotropic.  For example, assume the coordinate system we are using in the lab frame is an inertial coordinate system, and create two coordinate systems co-moving with the lorry, one by applying a Galilean transformation to the lab coordinates, and one by applying a Lorentz transformation to the lab coordinates.  In both of these new systems the lorry is stationary, and yet they are different.  And only one of them is an inertial coordinate system, i.e., only one has isotropic inertia so the equations of mechanics hold good.  Since energy has inertia, it is the Lorentz transformation that yields the inertial coordinate system.

> >  The answer to that question is c.
> 
> No it isn't Henry...

It is.  See above.  You're failing to account for the requirement of the time coordinate to be such that inertia is isotropic.  Once you do this, with the fact that energy has inertia, you will see that inertial coordinates are related by Lorentz transformations, and hence light propagates at c in terms of every such system.

> The fact that energy has inertia does not mean that space and time
> must distort as per the Lorentz transformation...

We're not talking about "space and time distorting".  That's the kind of nonsense verbiage you get in some nit-wit pop science articles.  We simply choose (most often) to use coordinate systems in terms of which inertia is isotropic, and such systems are related by Lorentz transformations due to the inertia of energy.

Again, in Newtonian physics, the kinetic energy of a particle of mass m is (1/2)mv^2, and this goes to infinity only as v goes to infinity.  If that were true, inertial coordinate systems would be related by Galilean transformations, but the kinetic energy of a particle is actually mc^2[1/sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} - 1], which goes to infinity as v approaches c, which implies that inertial coordinate systems are related by Lorentz transformations.  That explains why the limiting speed of light (and of everything else) is c in terms of any system of inertial coordinates.

Henry you and I know very well that in the great scheme of things
both the laboratory and the lorry are moving. Nevertheless it is
possible to construct an inertial coordinate systems in which either
the laboratory or the lorry are considered as stationary, and what
i am telling you Henry, is that they are both equally good inertial 
coordinate systems. Can you suggest any test performed within the
sealed lorry which will determine how fast it is moving, or indeed
even if it is moving at all eh! (ignor any road noise or vibrations of 
course).

Yes we are Henry, "t' != t" is a distortion of "time", and "L' != L" is 
a distortion of "space", and there never has been any experimental 
result that demands this radical restructuring of the framework on which 
physicists hang their results, imho eh!

I'm getting a bit bored with this Henry, we are clearly never going to 
agree.  Nevertheless i do recognize that you are actually quite a
good physicist, apart from your blindness about the LT nonsense eh!.
So let us just agree to differ on this, for now eh!

I would actually appreciate your comments on my VSL Cosmology, Henry.
So, if you do have the time, take a look at my other current thread:
"The VSL Witch Saved Physics". If your as good as i think you are
then you got to be impressed with that Henry.  :-)

Yes, that's the principle of relativity, but what you're overlooking is that it's also possible to construct infinitely many coordinate systems in which the lorry (or lab) is stationary but which are NOT inertial coordinate systems.

For example, if you skew the time coordinate from the front of the lorry to the back, inertia will not be isotropic in terms of those coordinates, even though the lorry is still stationary in those coordinates.  The equations of mechanics hold good *only* if we define the time coordinate so that inertia is isotropic, since otherwise the equations for equal action and reaction are violated.

You're mxing symbols for different kinds of things.  The symbols t and t' refer to the time coordinates of two different systems of coordinates, going along with x and x' respectively for the space coordinates. On the other hand, L is a length, not a coordinate.  The two concepts should not be confused.

We can define any coordinate systems we like, and this does not "distort" time or space.  Coordinates are just numerical labels.  But some systems of coordinates are more useful than others.  In particular, we tend to prefer coordinate systems in terms of which physical phenomena are maximally symmetrical and uniform, to simplify the descriptions of phenomena.  But in no way do our labels "distort space and time".

> There never has been any experimental result that demands this radical
> restructuring of the framework on which physicists hang their results...

To the contrary, there was an abundance of experimental results that led to the realization that Newtonian mechanics was fundamentally flawed, because in Newtonian physics the kinetic energy of a particle of mass m is (1/2)mv^2 whereas experiment has shown it is actually mc^2[1/sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} - 1].  All of special relativity follows as a direct consequence of this fundamental discovery.

> I'm getting a bit bored with this...

Duly noted.  To sum up, all your questions about special relativity were answered, and all your misunderstandings were corrected.  You're welcome.

Synchronize spatially separated clocks in your frame and then measure the
time elapsed between those two clocks. That’s how you do it.

That way you will measure the speed of light in the frame of
reference in which you and the clocks are at rest Gary.

Of course the "speed of light" is constant with your technique,
and so too is the "speed of sound" eh!

Only if the clocks are synchronized.  Assume that they are, but then when
you start moving toward them, the become unsynchronized.

Not at all.  Even if you synchronized clocks with sound waves rather than
light pulses, you will be moving through the medium when you start moving.
This is NOT the case for light, contrary to your refuted assertion.

You're performing an analysis, not an experiment, and in your analysis, 
you're assuming what you're trying to prove.

Measuring the speed of light involves an actual measurement, not an 
attempt to deduce what the result of the measurement would be.

You really need some more precision in the description.

Let's take it that A and B are clocks that record time correctly in 
their own frame, that they are synchronized in that frame, and are 
spaced a distance L apart in their own frame. The tA is what clock A 
shows are the light passes it, and tB is what clock B shows when the 
light reaches it.

Then the speed of light in that frame is, as you say L/tB - tA).

Now, if you start moving from the right at speed v, then you have a 
problem. The clocks are moving relative to you, so you cannot assume 
that they are necessarily recording time correctly in your frame, as 
they did in their own frame. Further you cannot assume that they are 
synchronized in your frame as they were in their own frame, and nor can 
you assume that they are a distance L apart in your frame though they 
were in their own frame. All of these things might, in principle, be 
true, but you cannot just assume them and expect that the answer you get 
is necessarily correct.

So your conclusion that the speed of the light relative to you is c + v 
is based on assumptions whose correctness has not been demonstrated.

Whether the assumptions are supportable will depend on the results of an 
actual experiment.

Sylvia.

Thank you Sylvia, that is precisely what i did mean eh!

Actually Sylvia I don't have a problem. You have a problem eh!
To understand that you need to appreciate that I am a Classical
Physicist, maybe the very last one eh! Whatever, we classical
physicists simple do not have the sort of problems you moderns
have. We old timers know that when two clocks are synchronized
then at ever instant of time, they actually indicate the same time.
e.g. at 12.00.00 GMT both clocks indicate 12 noon precisely eh!).
So clocks which are accurately synchronized in one frame of reference,
are in fact synchronized for all observers everywhere and whatever
the velocity of the observer. Similarly a rod of length L m IS
L m long, irrespective of how fast you walk towards the rod eh!

Well it is true that my conclusion was indeed based on a Classical
Physics assumptions, and i would maintain that *incorrectness* of my
assumptions has never been demonstrated.

>> Whether the assumptions are supportable will depend on the results of an

So what experiments have you got which demonstrate that synchronized
clocks run slower and go out of sync., and rods shrink, when YOU
walk towards them at v m/s Sylvia ?

I rather think Newton never actually considered this problem,
Mr.Andersen, but assuming that your final line above means:

  According to CLASSICAL PHYSICS: 1/(1-0.9) hours = 10 hours.'

Then it's still wrong eh!

According to classical physics the problem CAN NOT BE SOLVED,me
UNLESS we know the frame of reference of the light medium eh!

Assuming the medium is stationary with respect to the Earth,
then your answer of 10 hours per hour is indeed correct for an
observer on Earth watching a clock in rocket approaching at .9c

BUT TD=10 is certainly NOT what the observer in the rocket approaching 
Earth at .9c would witness as he looks at Big Ben through his telescope.

So, still assuming the light medium is stationary with respect to the 
Earth, what TD would the observer in the rocket witness :
          a) According to SR ?
          b) According to Classical Physics ?
