Properties of a preferred frame, an inertial frame in SR and an inertial frame in IRT
in [Relativity]

From: kenseto on 16 Jul 2010 10:34 Properties of a preferred frame: 1. The speed of light is isotropic. 2. The speed one-way or two way speed of light is constant and it is not distance dependent....even if it is measured using physical meter stick. 3. A clock at rest in the preferred frame is the fastest running clock in the universe....in other words, all the clocks moving with the preferred clock are running slower. 4. The material length of a meter stick at rest in the preferred frame is 1 meter long materially. 5. The material length of a meter stick moving wrt the perferred frame is 1 meter long materially. 6. The light path length of a meter stick at rest in the preferred frame is the same as its materially length ....in other words, 1 meter long materially 7. The light path length of a meter stick moving wrt the preferred frame is shorter than its material length. 8. There is only one preferred frame exists and no object in the universe is at rest in this preferred frame. Properties of an inertial frame in IRT: 1. The speed of light in any inertial frame is isotropic. 2. The actual measured value for the one-way or two-way speed of light is not a constant c in any inertial frame. It is a distance dependent quantity when length is measured using material meter stick. 3. An observed clock is predicted to run fast by a factor of gamma or run slow by a factor of 1/gamma compared to the observer's clock. The rate of a clock is dependent on its state of absolute motion. 4. The material length of the observer's meter stick 1 meter long materially. 5. The material length of a meter stick moving wrt an observer is also 1 meter long materially. 6. The light path length of the IRT observer's meter strick is assumed to be its material length. 7. The light path length of a meter stick moving wrt the observer is predicted to be shorter by a factor of (1/gamma) or longer by a factor of (gamma) compared to the light path length of the observer's meter stick which is assumed to be its material length. 8. Simultaneity is absolute....in other words if A sees two events to be simultaneous then B will also see the same events to be simultaneous but at different instants of time. IRT is described in the following link: http://www.modelmechanics.org/2008irt.dtg.pdf Properties of an inertial frame in SR: 1. The speed of light is isotropic. 2. The one-way or two way speed of light is a defined constant ratio of: c=1 light-second/1 second The defintion for a meter length is 1/299,792,458 light-second 3. Every SR observer claims that all the clocks in the universe moving with respect to him are running slow....in other words every SR observer claims that his clock is the fastest running clock in the universe. This SR claim gives rise to the concept of mutual time dilation. 4. Every SR observer claims that his meter stick is the proper length and that all the meter sticks moving wrt him are contracted in the direction of motion. However, length contraction in SR is not material or physical contraction..... it is a geometric projection effect. 5. Simultaniety is relative.....if A sees two events to be simultaneous then B will not see these same two events to be simultaneous. Ken Seto

If you would like to use the above definition to define some kind of frame, then you can feel free to do so, and give it a Seto-specific name. Just don't call it a "preferred frame" and use that term in conversation with physicists. It would be the same if you decided that the properties of a zebra were that it was a black and white flightless bird that lived in the Antarctic, and then talked about zebras in the Antarctic with zoologists. They would think you were off your nut. > > Properties of an inertial frame in IRT: > 1. The speed of light in any inertial frame is isotropic. > 2.

So, all in all, you still have a lot of what SR says wrong. But you're very slowly getting better. Do you think you'll understand SR by the time you're 87?

There is no preferred frame in SR or GR, so it makes no sense to talk about specific properties of something that doesn't exist. If there WAS a preferred frame, it would have at least SOME property that is different and 'special' compared to every other frame which would make it preferred. As there is no preferred frame, we cannot say what particular properties it has that is different to other frames. If you want to talk about what other theories says about preferred frames, then please specify what theories you are referring to.

Hey idiot...PD claimed that the properties I described are not the properties of the preferred frame that's why I asked him for the specific properties of the preferred frame. > > If there WAS a preferred frame, it would have at least SOME property that is > different and 'special' compared to every other frame which would make it > preferred. So what are those special properties? The preferred observer's clock is the fastest running clock in the universe is not a preferred clock?? > > As there is no preferred frame, we cannot say what particular properties it > has that is different to other frames.
