Oh, well, I was not going to give you anything for a while, remember?  But I will give you the correct equations.  

                            x'=x-vt
                            y'=y
                            z'=z
                            t'=t

t is the time of a clock in S.   v is the velocity of S' relative to S. Now you say that you have a clock in S' with a different rate of time.  

                            x = x' - v'n'
                            y = y'
                            z = z'
                            n = n'

n' is the time of the clock in S'.  It can be faster or slower than the clock that shows t according to these equations.  So the important relationship is the distance traveled by one frame of reference relative to the other.     

                            v'n' = -vt

So now I will explain in more detail.  Isaac Newton based all of his equations on the idea that n' would be equal to t.  That would mean that 
        
                            v'=-v

See how that worked?

Einstein based Special Relativity on the idea that the clock in S' would be slower than the clock in S.  The Galilean transformation equations would show this slower clock as

                            n'=t-vt/c

So then 

                             v'n' = -vt
                             v' = -vt/(t-vt/c)
                             v' = -v/(1-v/c)

But experiment shows that the clock in S' might be faster than the clock in S.  I do not have an equation yet for this.  You would have to find the rate of the clock by experiment, and then use the two sets of equations as I have shown them to determine velocities as seen from each frame of reference.  These are the correct equations for determining what you wanted me to determine.  If you have any difficulty using them, feel free to ask.  I know how difficult it can seem using equations that do not have a length contraction.

The Galilean transformation limitations
were known even before Einstein.

GPS system is one of the most obvious manifestation
of not applicability of Galileo transform.

If I would come to woodworkers to show them
how the trees should be cut, they would laugh at me.
If I would come to welders to show them
how to weld the steel, they would laugh at me.
And the laugh would be deserved.

But for some reasons, workers and engineers
do not hesitate to tell scientists how to do science,
but feel offended, if they laugh at them.

Yes, I know, but you have to understand that the universe is expanding according to science.  The furthest galaxies are moving away from use at ever increasing velocities.  So, relative to some far distant galaxy, if we follow the reasoning of scientists, I may personally be moving faster than the speed of light. You seem to feel so desperate to prove me wrong about something that you go to ridiculous lengths.

You've measured the speed of cosmic rays?  How do you know you have measured the speed of cosmic rays?  Did you use Cartesian coordinates of some other system of coordinates?

Yes, I am a very backward person.  I do know how to use the Galilean transformation equations, though.  That is more than any scientist can say.

You said that the fastest thing whose speed had been measured was 
Mercury. When other things faster were mentioned, you said they were all 
theoretical and could not be directly observed, which is of course 
nonsense, Robert. Then you said you did not want to talk about those things.

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about with regard to you and the 
silly things you say.

It's pretty easy to measure the speed of something, Robert. You detect 
its passage in two locations and you measure the time of flight between 
those two locations. That's what's done with cosmic rays, using 
scintillator detectors at two different heights. It's not complicated, 
Robert. I'm frankly amazed that you do not know these simple things.

Well, I was amazed that you could not understand two sets of Cartesian coordinates, so I guess we are even.

Mr Winn, if you know how to use the Galilean transformation equations
you may easily answer a simple question, don't you?

Three events happens, here are their coordinates in frame S:

Event A : a bell rings at position x=0, y=0, z=0 at time t=0
Event B : a bell rings at position x=300000km, y=0, z=0 at time t=0
Event C : a bell rings at position x=150000km, y=0, z=0 at time t=0.5s

A frame S' is moving in the +x direction with respect to S, could
you give the coordinates in S' of the position where these three events
happens, and, for all of them, the at what time they happens according
to a clock at rest in S'?

So you are not that good in using Galilean Transformation equations
Mr Winn. As usual it was all about pretending on your side.

This is clearly above the kind of algebra you've learned. There is
no problem anyway, it is a question too hard for you to solve, I may
understand that. Moreover you're certainly too old to be able to
learn how to solve so a simple high school problem.

Yes, I can do this too, but, it is going to take an army of scientists.

The clapper of the bell hits the side of the bell.  It would be the same as any other event.  But to avoid confusion among scientists, you would probably have to use bolts of lightning like Einstein did with the trains.

Depends on what you mean by "bell rings".

Whatever you want, Mr Gogo. Something happen at a given place
at a given time, that's all. You cannot change reality.

It is quite weird that you think you would need "an army of scientists"
to answer the question.

The clapper of the bell hits the side of the bell.  But to avoid confusion among scientists, it should probably be changed to lightning strikes like Einstein used with his train problems.

You're afraid to tell a woodworker whether you believe that atoms exist?
Oh my. You certainly have been deeply psychologically affected by 
scientists if you are too afraid to say something as simple as that. 
What a shame. Perhaps you could get some help for that.

I think you have misunderstood something, Robert. Where did you ever get 
the idea that special relativity only applies where there is no gravity?

How do you think relativity gets applied in accelerators dug in tunnels 
underground?
