    I went to Bucknell University. My senior year, I took a class with a guy named Ben Marsh. It was a physical geography course. On the first day of class, he walks in, goes up to the board and draws a gigantic bell-shape. On the left side of it, he writes 'F'. On the right side of it, he writes 'A'. He turns to the class and says, "I don't believe in grade inflation. I don't curve. Most of you will get Cs. A few will get Ds or Bs. Even fewer of you will fail or get an A. If you don't want a C, leave my class now, because you'll probably get one. The class was HARD. He was a really cool professor, though, and I've had the utmost respect for him ever since that day.

  35. Re:It will be proved wrong! by alienmole · · Score: 2 · on Einstein's Theory To Go Beta Testing
    The conclusion, that there is no contraction (observable) is enough. It's against SR.

    If you expect contraction of the radius, it simply means you don't understand SR. It's hard to refute something you don't understand. How could the radius possibly contract, when there's no motion in that direction?

    If you believe the radius must contract because of contraction of the length of the ring, you need to consider the effect of constant changes in direction, i.e. the effects of acceleration. You seem to be trying to apply SR in a single step to the system as a whole, completely ignoring the effects of the construction of the example. No wonder your results seem inconsistent!

    For example, how are you accounting for the fact that at different points along the track, train cars or satellites are moving in *opposite directions*? Oh, you're not accounting for it at all? Bit of a problem, don't you think?

    Do you think, that there IS observable contraction:

    - in this case?

    I'd have to do the math to figure out exactly what would and wouldn't be observable in this case. In general, I would expect observable effects, but certainly not to the same degree as the noncircular case. As has been pointed out, including by this page, general relativity has to be considered because of the constant and extremely high acceleration in this example, and this has a significant effect.

    in the case of noncircular train?

    Yes, contraction in this case would be observable, because the motion is in a constant direction and thus the SR effect is not affected by continuous changes in direction; which means that GR can be ignored, incidentally making the calculation much easier.

    I encourage you to try to work through the derivation of the Lorentz transformation, even in just one dimension. It will be much easier to understand all this once you've assimilated that.

  36. Re:It will be proved wrong! by ShavenYak · · Score: 2 · on Einstein's Theory To Go Beta Testing

    As a matter of fact, the question is of the radius! I've found an explanation that should satisfy you. To be brief, under GR spacetime is curved, geometry is non-Euclidean, and the circumference of a circle does not necessarily equal 2pi*r. So the train can contract lengthwise without the radius changing.
