Title: Mr One Star is wrong!
Product review: The thought experiment is not wrong,the whole point being made was that the ships A & B although at rest "relative" to each other were not at rest "relative" to the vacuum and hence the invariance in the "propagation" velocity of em radiation caused "relative" errors in time of reception. Remember they were in rectilinear motion, say they were moving at .5c relative to the vacuum, then you cant have the forward moving pulse moving at 1.5c through the vacuum and the responding pulse moving backwards at .5c just to keep the timing right! thats the whole point of this. The speed of light is "invariant" to the inertial frame. please reread and retract. oh yeah by the way the book is GREAT buy it! Regards.[Cancel] [Delete post]Guidelines
