See? Here's another statement that you have made up that no one, 
certainly not any physicist will agree with.
Events have a specific meaning in physics, which you do not know.

Can you give me an example of an event without a source???? I guess not.

Can you read a book? Can you read what the definition is?

It doesn't MATTER whether the SOURCE has a duration. The EVENT does not, 
according to the meaning used by physicists.

Definitions are not something argued about.
If you want to argue about definitions, feel free to create your own 
language. Design all the definitions just they way you think they should 
be, according to your own common sense. Start talking, using your own 
language. Let me know the outcome.

Counterexample (that does not even involve relativistic motion).

There are two stars, X and Y, 12 light years apart.  Locted on
the line connecting the stars are 3 observers, O1, O2 and O3.

O1 is 1 light year from Star X and 11 light years from Star Y.
O2 is 6 light year from Star X and 6 light years from Star Y.
O3 is 11 light year from Star X and 1 light years from Star Y.

  X--O1----------O2----------O3--Y

The stars and all observers are all stationary relative to each other.

At some time, O2 observes both stars going nova at the same time.
O2 declares them (Event A and Event B) simultaneous events.

O1 sees Star X going nova (Event A), and because Star Y is more
distant, O1 doesn't see Star Y going nova (Event B) for another
10 years.

O3 sees Star Y going nova (Event B), and because Star X is more
distant, O3 doesn't see Star X going nova (Event A) for another
10 years.

O2 says the events were simultaneous.
O1 says the events were not simultaneous, A happened first.
O3 says the events were not simultaneous, B happened first.

It IS impossible in Relativity, because by definition all clocks in A are synchronized with each other and all clocks in B are synchronized each other. And if we put both observers at their respective origin at t_A = t_B = 0, then according to the LT, the A and B clocks in that location are synchronized as well at this moment, so at t_A = t_B = 0 any clock at A is synchronized with any clock of B (note that Einstein explicitly required that "If the clock at A synchronizes with the clock at B and also with the clock at C, the clocks at B and C also synchronize with each other.")

So if the observer A at the origin makes at t_A =0 the true statement "the back end of ship B is destroyed" (for which photographic evidence exists on ship A at time t_A=0 ) then the statement of the co-located observer B "the back end of our ship is NOT destroyed" (because in frame B the back ends haven't even met up yet) must be false.

If your theory REQUIRES that 1=2, it doesn't mean the statement 1=2 is true. You should be rather considering the possibility that your theory is wrong.

Thomas, I'm tired of this. You are trying to portray YOUR OWN VIEW of 
what relativity should be claiming rather than what it actually claims. 
You are trying to argue by reasoning that "Relativity should not say 
what it says, but should in fact say something different."

What I'm telling you is that you CLEARLY do not understand what 
relativity in fact says, which frankly I attribute to you not reading 
much on the subject. Instead you're trying to figure it out for 
yourself, starting with a few principles and logic, and you're ending up 
somewhere ELSE other than relativity.

In the present case, you've taken a statement that Einstein wrote for 
clocks at rest in a COMMON reference frame, not clocks synchronized 
across two different reference frames. You cannot daisy-chain "If A is 
synched with B, and B shows same time as C, and C is synched with D, 
then A is synched with D" across reference frames as you've just done. 
This is why it is important to read MORE than what Einstein wrote, to 
help avoid misconstruals like this.

I will simply add that what relativity in fact says is documented in 
BOOKS, which is quite different than what you say, and that furthermore 
what is documented in BOOKS is thoroughly supported by experiment. So it 
really doesn't matter whether you think it should be saying something 
else -- what it DOES say is validated in experiment.

I'm done with this conversation, as it's getting nowhere.

It is not a misconstruction. What I am saying is directly implied by the definitions and conventions going into the Lorentz transformation:

x_B = gamma*(x_A-v*t_A)
t_B = gamma*(t_A-v*x_A/c^2)

so for t_A=0 at the origin (x_A=0) we have t_B=0 at x_B=0, i.e. the two clocks at the origins are synchronized with each other at this moment. And since in either frame all the clocks are mutually synchronized with each other, this means any clock in A is synchronized with any clock in B at this moment. And therefore any event that lies in the past in A at this moment must lie in the past in B as well. Otherwise you would require time running backwards in one frame.

Yes.

No.  Use the LT that you so correctly presented.

Look at some point x_A = L instead of at the origin.  A clock at L is
synchronized with the clock at the origin, so it reads zero, too.  But:

t_B = gamma*(0 - v*L/c^2) = -gamma*v*L/c^2

which demonstrates that the clock at L is NOT synchronized with the clocks
at the origin.

Which is refuted by some very simple mathematics.

What it demonstrates is that the Lorentz transformation is inconsistent as it depends on the path. Instead of doing the direct LT you can split it for instance into 3 parts, first transforming to the origin of a co-moving displaced reference frame (A2->A1}, then to the origin of a co-located moving reference (A1->B1) and then to a displaced reference frame co-moving with the latter (B1->B2)



      t          |       t'=γ(t-vx/c²)
    ------------------------------__-----------
    t_A2=0       |       t_A1=0 (as v=0)
    t_A1=0       |       t_B1=0 (as x=0)
    t_B1=0       |       t_B2=0 (as v=0) 
	
(in order to avoid confusion, I have not written the x-displacement in t'=γ(t-vx/c²) for the first and third steps ; it is obvious that with v=0, this is irrelevant anyway).
	
So according to this all clocks should be synchronized with each other.


With the clocks synchronized in each frame by assumption, all times are indeed global times in each frame. That's why you synchronize clocks. If an event is in the past at one point in frame A, it is in the past at all other points in frame A as well. So if two points of frames A and B coincide in the present (t=0)  of each frame, it means this event must be in the past of that point in frame B as well, and with it in the past of all other points in frame B by virtue of the synchronized clocks in the latter.

What moronic twaddle!  Of COURSE it depends on the path, but that has NOTHING
to do with the problem under discussion.  The LT is CORRECTLY derived
mathematically and logically from a small set of postulates.  If the
postulates are correct (and they have been exhaustively tested (in their
appropriate realm) experimentally then the LT CANNOT be inconsistent.

And what you have done is trivial since v=0 is totally uninteresting.

Yes, when v = 0, but who cares?

Stupidity squared!  You haven't even CONSIDERED a frame B since you only
puttered around with v=0, so you cannot say anything about frame B.  I DID,
and that CLEARLY shows that the clocks in B are NOT synchronized with those
in A.  You appear to be mathematically incompetent.

No, it hasn't been correctly derived. The LT transformation has been 'derived' by ignoring independent events when defining the speed of light in the two reference frames. If you don't ignore them, you'll find that not only the LT but indeed any velocity dependent transformation contradicts the invariance of c ( for more see http://www.physicsmyths.org.uk/speed-of-light-postulate.htm  )

Yes, I have considered frame B. I have only switched in two additional reference frames via which the transformation from A to B is done. This way the clocks in A and B turn out to be synchronized, in contrast to the direct transformation. This is inconsistent as one should be able to do the transformation over as many intermediary frames as one wishes. The result for the final frame should stay the same.

It is clear now what the alleged de-synchronization is all about: by definition all clocks in each frame are mutually synchronized, but Einstein's invalid derivation (as outlined above) leads to contradictions with this definition. Rather than questioning his derivation, he decides to override his original synchronization assumption by retrospectively suitably de-synchronizing the clocks. It is obvious that this is a mathematically and logically invalid procedure.

Not in your meanderings of your recent post, so my criticism stands:  All
of your "mathematics" applied ONLY to v = 0, so you cannot draw ANY
conclusions about a frame B moving at v wrt frame A.

You only considered v = 0, a triviality.

You are not in a position to call my arguments idiocy whilst obviously avoiding to respond to them in a factual way. You certainly can not expect to convince me by this that my arguments are mistaken, even if you believe this.

No I didn't. The second LT has v>0 but x=0

      t          |       t'=γ(t-vx/c²)
    ------------------------------__-----------
    t_A2=0       |       t_A1=0 (as v=0)
    t_A1=0       |       t_B1=0 (as x=0)
    t_B1=0       |       t_B2=0 (as v=0)

Oh, but I am.

I did.  Let me put it to you in plain language:  You are looney.

No one can convince a looney-tunes that he is wrong.

Which makes it a triviality also.  Cherry-picking the LT by considering
only those two possibilities is dishonest or stupid.  Are you afraid to
consider other values for v or x?  Or are you just mathematically
incompetent?

I see we are making some progress here. You admit then that your statement I considered only v=0 is wrong. Good.
As for the triviality, note that the truth is always trivial at its core (true statements are lastly tautologies).

No, I am not afraid, but you seem to be, as otherwise you would notice that other values give different results, This is inconsistent, as the result of the LT should only depend on the initial and final frame, not on any intermediate ones. And the initial and final frames are the same above as for the direct transformation. It is only that I did not transform directly from A2 to B2, but first from A2 to A1 (staying in a comoving frame), then from A1 to B1 (transforming at the origin to a frame moving with v) and then from B1 to B2 (staying again in a comoving frame).

Yes, I missed that x (I thought it was another v).

Note that trivialities are most often lies.

Seems to me that YOU are the fearful one since you refused to consider other
values.

There are no intermediate "frames" in your example:  there are only TWO.

I'm afraid that you have no mathematical competency.

If you did that, you were abysmally stupid.  As a second opinion, you
don't know how to do math.

It is IOTTMCO that t_B2 = gamma*(t_B1 - v*x_B1/c^2)

Since v is NOT zero and x_B1 is NOT zero, then t_B2 does NOT equal tB1.
Now get a brain.
