A student takes a science exam, and a question is about the theory of
relativity.
Unfortunately, he forgot about Lorentz's transformations.
No problem, he can derive them easily from first principles.
He is then asked to give the coordinates of a space rocket by changing
the frame of reference.
Do not panic!
He knows that y'= y and z'= z.
x'= [x+sqrt(x²+y²+z²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
Why would he remind such an atrocious bullshit which is not
linear (so in contradiction with Newton laws of motion) while
the correct equation is far simpler?
With that, he can get by.
For To', just set To'=sqrt(x'²+y²+z²)/c
A real student in physics wouldn't use a silly equation in
contradiction with Newton's laws.
He is saved.
He is dead in the water, he failed miserably. He won't pass.

Maybe he should consider a career in medicine, standard there
are clearly lower.

In the real world you are a wannabe "information engineer" with
0 knowledge in physics, maths or engineering yelling on Usenet
without convincing anyone with your idiotic rant.
Have you already learnt the difference between a square
root of 7 and sqrt(7)?
Still fighting with the basics, Woz? Sigh...

x'= [x+sqrt(x²+y²+z²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
is not linear
It's bijective, and that's enough for me.
Could you prove it is even bijective ?
I am a great humble man, you know.
No. You are an arrogant idiot.
I'm not looking for numbers in silver, or mathematical signs in gold.
This is not a proper English sentence, it is meaningless.
The coherence of nature is enough for me.
Newton's laws are part of this "coherence". Learn.
I leave scientific puritanism to others.
This is not "puritanism", it is sticking with overwhelming experimental
evidence.

x'= [x+sqrt(x²+y²+z²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
is not linear
It's bijective, and that's enough for me.
Could you prove it is even bijective ?
Not only is it bijective, but it is reciprocal if you change v to -v.

Exemple :

E(R)=(12,9,0) (E)R'=(40,9,0) v=0.8c

x'= [x+sqrt(x²+y²+z²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

x'= [12+sqrt(12²=9²+0²).0.8]/0.6 ---> x=40

Réciproque :

x= [x'-sqrt(x'²+y'²+z'²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

x= [40-sqrt(40²+9²+0²).0.8]/0.6 ---> x=12

Cette équation permet d'obtenir très facilement les coordonnées
spatiales et temporelles
dans R' d'un événement qui se passe dans R au moment du croisement O et
O'.

Evidemment, puisqu'on déclenche les montres à cet instant, on a t'=t=0.

Pour connaître l'heure de l'événement en temps local, il suffit de
poser
To=-d/c dans R, et To'=-d'/c dans R'.

Ici To=sqrt((12²+9²+0²)/c= -15 et To'=sqrt(40²+9²+0²)/c= -41

On obtient la même chose en passant par les TL(attention au signe de
To).

x'=(x-vTo)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
y'=y
z'=z
To'=(To-xv/c²)/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

borders of the same length*?

(*) Legislative definition. Surveyors later place boundary stones along
the borders and made some mistakes so in real life they zigzag a little.

But they must be straight lines. Congress set up four corners at the
crossings of lines of latitude and longitude, connected them with line
segments (remember, we're using Euclidean geometry because you said so)
and they must be line segments since we only define end points, we check
the corners and sure enough, they're 90 degrees. So according to
Euclidean geometry (used because you said so) we have defined a
rectangle. Yet despite the corners being right angles somehow two
parallel sides aren't the same length.

Also I have this map of the world. I lay it flat to ensure it really is
Euclidean geometry, and look at that! Greenland is as large as South
America! But if I look up the areas of Greenland and South America, I
get very different answers! How did that happen for this Euclidean world?

I question your odd belief that Euclid himself wouldn't consider

segments. What would he say about a figure with two parallel sides of
the same length and four right angles? What would he say if a map showed
Greenland to be the same size as South America yet they weren't close in
size at all, even considering he didn't know of either place?

Well, you're free to question; you're an idiot, but that was

They are not. From wiki: "United States Congress defined the boundaries of
the new Territory of Colorado exclusively by lines of latitude and longitude,"
and they surely knew Earth isn't flat. Unlike you, it seems.
Yet the states have four right angles for corners.
Yet their borders aren't straight lines. Neither in Euclidean
geometry nor in Riemann's idiocy.
But they must be straight lines.
Neither Euclid, nor Riemann, nor any sane person
is sharing this opinion of yours, stupid Mike. I'm not
sharing it either.
I'm glad to see that you consider yourself outside the group of "any
sane person". It's a start.
I question your odd belief that Euclid himself wouldn't consider
segments connecting two points as described to be straight line
segments.
Well, you're free to question; you're an idiot, but that was
obvious before. Latitudes are not straight even in Riemann's
nonsense (except one); in Euclidean geometry meridians are
neither.
But you said Euclidean geometry could be used for surveying. Euclidean
geometry would have the north and south borders of Colorado be the same
lengths as each other.

What would he say if a map showed
Greenland to be the same size as South America
Stupid Mike, Mercator's map doesn''t scale the surfaces.
Exactly. It tries to map a non-Euclidean space to a flat Euclidean map.
Distorting Greenland especially.

Oh look at this! I can start at the North Pole, move along the Prime
Meridian to the equator off the west coast of Africa, along the equator
to a point near the Galapagos Islands and then north to the North Pole
again and meet the Prime Meridian at a 90 degree angle. Look what I
have! A triangle with three right angles! And you say that's Euclidean!

Depends on the application. As any engineer should know.

In a 2D surface, a curve is straight in a Euclidean sense if, between the 2
degrees of freedom available, only one of them is exploited. For example,
on the earth, a path along a line of longitude is straight on the surface
because there is no excursion in the direction perpendicular to that line.
Another way of saying this is that, parameterizing the curve by parameter
s, and embarking from s=0 such that ds/dx>0 and ds/dy=0, then d2s/dy2=0,
meaning that there is no curvature of the path into the other degree of
freedom.

Now, Maciej is apparently having difficulty understanding that the surface
of a sphere is in fact a 2D space. His common sense tells him, no, no, no,
it obviously occupies 3D. No, Maciej, the surface does not because there
would be 3 degrees of freedom and hence it would be a 3D space, not a 2D
space, and it’s expanse would be a volume and not a surface area.

In the mathematics of XVI century (and in the modern mathematics

straight lines in Euclidean sense. Sorry, poor halfbrain.

Post by Odd Bodkin

of a sphere is in fact a 2D space.
Exactly. The fact it's curved in a third dimension is what makes it
non-Euclidean, as Colorado and the triangle with 3 right angles demonstrate.

Surveying is two dimensional although topographic info (the third
dimension) is often an add-on plus work is necessary to get the plot on
a single elevation. On a small scale it is treated as flat (Euclidean)
plane space but on a larger scale, "corrections" are initially
necessary, and at an even larger scale different techniques are used as
the space becomes increasingly non-Euclidean. My father was a surveyor,
he told me about something like that when I was young, although I don't
remember the terms he used (not "Euclidean").

It's fairly easy to visualize the problem of projecting the surface of a
sphere/almost-a-sphere (earth) to a flat map. Much harder to visualize
doing the same for the universe's 3D space to a "flat" 3D space we
understand at a small scale.

Depends on what the application is. Seagoing vessels don’t have much need
for elevation as a coordinate. Neither do spy satellites.

As I think I’ve said to you many times, most engineers (other than stupid
ones who think rulers are made of wood, metal or stone) recognize that the
mathematical representation in a model will depend on the needs of the
application.

Stupid Mike, whatever you imagine Earth isn't flat;
surveying its surface isn't 2d.
If elevation (mountains, valleys) is not included
And, of course, it isn't, as it's comfortable for a poor idiot
woodworker at the moment. Right?
Depends on what the application is. Seagoing vessels don’t have much need
for elevation as a coordinate.
And how about their GPS receivers?
That too depends. Some GPS receivers will decode an elevation.
:) Odd, what do you think, how a GPS receiver calculate
the position it is?
My goodness, the world is JUST TOO COMPLICATED for
a poor idiot woodworker, isn't it?

Do you also insist that Earth surface is a plane? You can! You would be
in a good company.
Apparently you consider the surface of a sphere to be a plane, since you
say Euclidean geometry can be used.
Stupid Mike, have you really never heard of Euclidean 3d
geometry?

That’s internal workings, not how it represents the location to the user.

x'= [x+sqrt(x²+y²+z²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
That equation is valid only for events that are light-like separated from the origin, meaning that c²t² = x²+y²+z². In general we have tau^2 = c²t² - x² - y² - z², so to cover time-like intervals your equation would have to be
x'= [x + sqrt(x²+y²+z²+tau^2)v/c] / sqrt(1-v²/c²) .
where tau is the proper time along the interval. Writing the transformation equation that way is not advantageous.

In the meantime in the real world, however, forbidden
by your moronic religion TAI keep measuring t'=t, just
like all serious clocks always did.

Ah! Un posteur qui réfléchit et qui ne vient pas faire du pugilat.
Je ne dis pas qu'il n'y en a pas sur ce site, car il s'en trouve. Mais il
n'y en a pas des dizaines.
Donc félicitations, monsieur.

Ah! A poster who thinks and does not come to fight.
I'm not saying there aren't any on this site, because there are. But there
aren't dozens of them.
So congratulations, sir.

Je ne sais pas à quoi correspond votre équation, je vous donne donc la
mienne puisque vous voulez aller plus loin et parler en fonction de t.

Je précise bien en fonction de t. C'est à dire le moment où
l'observateur perçoit l'événement.

Je différencie le temps local To par rapport au temps propre t de la
montre placée en O. Ce n'est pas la même chose.

I don't know what your equation is, so I'm giving you mine since you want
to go further and speak in terms of t.

I am precise in terms of t. That is to say the moment when the observer
perceives the event.

I differentiate the local time To compared to the proper time t of the
watch placed in O. It is not the same thing.

L'équation qui prend en compte t est la suivante :
x'=[x+({sqrt(x²+y²+z²)/c}-t).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

Sa réciproque est :
x=[x'-({sqrt(x'²+y²+z²)/c}-t).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)


The equation which takes into account t is the following:
x'=[x+({sqrt(x²+y²+z²)/c}-t)v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

Its reciprocal is:
x = [x'- ({sqrt(x'²+y²+z²)/c}-t').v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

Prenons un exemple simple. Une fusée passe à proximité de la terre à
vitesse v=0.8c.
On lui assigne l'axe Ox.
Dans le référentiel terrestre une explosion cosmique à lieu (c'est à
dire est VISIBLE) au moment où les deux observateurs O et O' se croisent.
x=12ly, y=9ly z=0
On a alors l'événement cosmique E suivant E=(12,9,0,-15,0) selon les
coordonnées (x,y,z,To,t).
Plusieurs sur ce forum ont alors chercher à savoir (et y sont parvenus)
ce qui se passait dans le référentiel de la fusée. Je les en remercie.
Ils ont trouvé E=(40,9,0,-41,0) pour la fusée.
Ils ont donc reçu mes félicitations.

Let's take a simple example. A rocket passes near the earth at speed v =
0.8c.
We assign it the axis Ox.
In the terrestrial frame of reference a cosmic explosion takes place (ie
is VISIBLE) at the moment when the two observers O and O 'cross. x=12ly
y=9ly z=0
We then have the following cosmic event E E = (12,9,0,-15,0) according to
the coordinates (x, y, z, To, t).
Several on this forum then tried to find out (and succeeded in doing so)
what was happening in the rocket's repository. I thank them for that.
They found E=(40,9,0,-41,0) for the rocket.
So they received my congratulations.

Mais il faut aller plus loin, vous avez raison. Car ici je n'ai employé
que l'équation :
x'= [x+sqrt(x²+y²+z²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
Cette équation n'est valable que pour tous les observateurs qui se
croisent en O à t=0.

Mais imaginons, que cet événement n'ai pas lieu au moment où la fusée
passe, mais six ans plus tard.
Il va donc me falloir employer une équation qui contient t (le moment où
la terre perçoit l'explosion cosmique) pendant que la fusée a
progressé, elle, en mouvement galiléen régulier de 0.8c.
Posons t=6 (six ans).
L'équation devient :
x'=[x+({sqrt(x²+y²+z²)/c}-t).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
On a alors dans le référentiel terrestre E=(12,9,0,-9,6)
et dans le référentiel de la fusée E=(32,9,0,-31, 2.24154)

But we have to go further, you are right. Because here I only used the
equation:
x'= [x+sqrt(x²+y²+z²).v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
This equation is only valid for all the observers who intersect at O
​​at t=0.

But imagine, that this event does not take place when the rocket passes,
but six years later.
So I will have to use an equation which contains t (the moment when the
earth perceives the cosmic explosion) while the rocket has progressed in
regular Galilean motion of 0.8c.
Let t=6 (six years).
The equation becomes:
x '= [x+({sqrt(x²+y²+z²)/c}-t)v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
We then have in the terrestrial frame of reference E = (12,9,0, -9,6)
and in the frame of the rocket E = (32,9,0, -31, 2.24154)

Vérifions maintenant que la réciproque est correcte (sinon c'est
absurde).
Now let's check that the converse is correct (otherwise it's absurd).

x=[x'-({sqrt(x'²+y²+z²)/c}-t').v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)

x=[32-({sqrt(32²+9²+0²)/1}-2.24154)*0.8]/0.6
x=[32-(33.24154-2.24154)*0.8]/0.6
x=[32-(31*0.8)]/0.6
x=12

That equation is valid only for events that are light-like separated from the
origin, meaning that c²t² = x²+y²+z². In general we have tau^2 = c²t² -
x² - y² - z², so to cover time-like intervals your equation would have to be
x'= [x + sqrt(x²+y²+z²+tau^2)v/c] / sqrt(1-v²/c²) .
where tau is the proper time along the interval. Writing the transformation
equation that way is not advantageous.
I don't know what your equation is...
It's the space component of the Lorentz transformation, written in a rather silly way, by replacing the time coordinate, t, with the expression sqrt(x²+y²+z²+tau^2). Again, writing the equation that way is not advantageous.
x'=[x+({sqrt(x²+y²+z²)/c}-t)v/c]/sqrt(1-v²/c²)
No, that is correct only if x=y=z=0, which is not generally the case. The simplest way of expressing the Lorentz transformation, in units with c=1, is just x'=(x-vt)g, t'=(t-vx)g where g=1/sqrt(1-v^2). That is all there is to it.

No.

You do not read what I write correctly.

My rating is this in this case:

x'=γ(x-v.To)
y'=y
z'=z
To'=γ(To-xv/c²)

N.B. Attention To and To' are negative. Here To=-15 et and To'=-41.
To2=-9(-15+6) and To2'=-31

It is not just a medium for light waving. It is for the atomic movements...

Physics is science, not poetry.

The motion of Maxwell's ether, composed of matter, forms light waves that are the foundation of the wave theory of light. See Maxwell's theory originates from Newton's mechanics, the only problem is Maxwell's em field is massless.
