There's a one to one relationship between (t, x) in one frame and (t', x') in another. (Note that that's in the simplest case where v is aligned with the x axis. With an arbitrary v vector the one to one relationship involves all four coordinates.) That's why we can consistently transform between events in different frames. Events have a specific time and a specific position in each frame. There cannot be a one to one relationship between t and t' alone in two different inertial reference frames because that relationship, as the Lorentz transformation equation clearly shows, depends on the x coordinate. Transforming between different inertial reference frames is analogous to rotating the coordinate axes of an xy plane. There is no one to one relationship between x coordinates before the rotation and x' coordinates afterward, because a rotation displaces some x into y and some y into x. The one to one relationship is between coordinate pairs (x, y) and (x', y'). That's what Special Relativity is all about. Time and space are not independent. Velocity in space transforms the position and time coordinates in a hyperbolic rotation. You cannot know what time it is (relative to some event) unless you know where you are and how fast you're moving. |

Is there some reason you can't just confirm that the space time diagrams don't relate to the example with the rod on the platform?
Or to clarify what events A and B are? I am asking because I have been through all that stuff and these are the questions that arise from this? Where is the world line for the end of the rod, for example? |

So, if, from the frame of the train, a light at the front of the train flashes as soon as the light is seen to reach the end of the rod, would that event transform correctly back to the frame of the platform?
(Edit say the light flashed at a point on the train that lined up with the end of the rod) |

After reaching "perihelion" (max speed) when no further acceleration is supportet by the force of the Sun, , the asteroide or comet, or whatever it is, will decelerate unexpected relative to that speed it have achieved.. I give a damn in calculating the perihelion speed, try to ask here , - how to get things out of peoples ears, - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete |

0.000000008 m/s2 - Happy now ?
- and that was based on lazy 40 km/s, and if moving straight towards DFA Yes you just calculated the max deceleration speed. The point is that if the less distance, the object have reached, - as a result of that deceleration, - (after 3 month) = 192 km or 291 really doesn't matter , - still concrete is concrete down on Earth. The only thing that should surprise me is if RR must be calculated based on a an absolute (DFA) (etc) speed-frame, then that acceleration is much larger. Data from Oumuamua could suggest that… Notice that mysterious objects, claimed to have origin from other solar system, is really a brain-dead idea. Those who have understood the MTR theory would very easy understand that such objects ONLY can come from a northern direction. Simply because of these object follows very strange and elongated orbits due to the influence of DFA and EDFA The red thread is nothing can escape DFA Even C/2019 Q4 will ORBIT the Sun. In the year 2031 this is what all kindergarten student will learn after 17 minuts and 14 +/- 3½ seconds in the first astro lesson. http://pubs.sciepub.com/FAAC/4/1/4/index.html |

Speaking as a beginner with SR, the Lorentz transform seems to clearly imply that events being simultaneous in one frame does not imply that they will be simultaneous in another. Am I right?

Right. In fact, if they're simultaneous and have different x coordinates in one frame, they definitely will not be simultaneous in the other. (That's assuming the x axis is aligned with the direction of relative movement between the inertial frames, as in most train-vs.-platform thought experiments.) And conversely, if they have different x coordinates and are not simultaneous in one frame, they might be in the other. A basic example is the arrival, at the front and at the back of the train, of the light pulse that originated at the center of the train. In the train frame, those two events are simultaneous, but in the platform frame they are not. |

That's right folks, Bjarne thinks there's a "North" and "South" in space and insults people who disagree with him as promoting a "brain-dead" idea.
Bjarne, is there also an East and West in space? What happens if I start at the North Pole and go North by Northwest in a rocket? Where will I end up? |

Regardless, Bjarne is still asserting that objects MUST come from the "North." He's made a lot of statements over the years about what "Must" happen in relation to these cardinal directions, and he seems to think they're a cosmic absolute more than a convention. It all relates back to his dark flow claims that are supposed to shatter Relativity.
Here is one of his more coherent claims about the importance of "North" and "South" in relation to his "Dark Flow:"

20 September 2019 Bjarne: Persists with delusions, e.g. not knowing what comet C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) is!
A delusion that he can calculate a deceleration when he has no idea about the trajectory of C/2019 Q4 (Borisov). A delusion that a "deceleration is 0.000000008 m/s" pulled out of thin air is a deceleration (it is a speed). Fixed in later post so we are left with a delusion that a number pulled out of air and that not be measurable is a prediction. A prediction in science includes that workings are shown (they do not appear by magic!) and that they can be tested. A delusion that he calculated the perihelion speed - see above. That would need the use of orbital mechanics on the trajectory of comet C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) and he is ignorant of both. |

20 September 2019 Bjarne: Gibberish and lies about data from 'Oumuamua, etc.
He did not do anything with any data from 'Oumuamua. He had a delusion that his fantasies were supported by non-gravitational acceleration of 'Oumuamua. A lie that 'Oumuamua and C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) did not come from outside of the Solar System. A delusion about extra-Solar system objects only coming form a "northern direction". Deluded lie of "very strange and elongated orbits" when he has no such orbits. A blatant "C/2019 Q4 will ORBIT the Sun" lie . This is C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) as given to him several times.

20 September 2019 Bjarne: Utter gibberish about 2031 when he predicted "2016/2017" for SR falling apart and it has not happened yet
![]() The real gibberish is that any kindergarten student will ever learn about his obviously delusions. They do not even learn about real astronomy which is at least a high school level subject! Links to his "Modified Theory of Relativity (MTR)" paper in a dubious journal. The title is a lie because delusions do not modify relativity. A delusion that debated dark flow billions of light years away affects the Solar System. A delusion that there is am magical resistance to motion: 11 January 2019 Bjarne: An insane statement that no deceleration will happen at LHC, etc. according to his delusions! A "theory of relativity will be tested on board the ISS and Galileo 5 & 6" in 2019/2020 will support his idiocy delusion (he has no prediction and remains ignorant about the actual tests). The Galileo 5 & 6 test of GR (not SR) has been done and verified GR: Galileo satellites prove Einstein's Relativity Theory to highest accuracy yet Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space will test GR. Launch expected in 2020, data collection for the next 18-30 months, data available maybe from mid 2021. |

This is an answer to both posts.
The time component of LT gives us values on the clock at specific x' location. When we do time interval along a world line we need to do delta between two points along that specific world line, ... and because we are following x'=0 word line from t'=0 (our lower end of interval is 0, we are subtracting 0) so we are left with just time component of LT that represents time dilation. We know where we are and how fast we are moving. The transformation is done along x=0 and x'=0 world lines. Look at this text book: ![]() The platform x position between the emission and reception is different. Still based on the simultaneity it 'apparently' does not affect the world line time interval along the x'=0 world line of the train car therefore this is time dilation. The equation 2.2 is essentially time component of LT where x'=0. I wrote 'apparently' because there is a big problem, I'll address it in coming days. SDG |

20 September 2019 : SDG: A "one part of the contradiction" lie when he knows that there is no problem with any "contradiction".
Relativity of simultaneity is textbook SR. |

20 September 2019 SDG: "Look at this text book" evidence of denying textbook physics
That is a textbook page on Einstein's thought experiments which includes the one that shows relativity of simultaneity! Looks like SDG has a SR textbook but still sticks with a fantasy that SR is wrong. |

SR is one big load of BS braindeath brainwashed arrogant propaganda, not worth to spend a second.
The truth behind SR and GR is a process we never really understood at all. The total amount energy, which mean :
The length of the ruler, (local distances) and time (our reality as a whole) are both results of a process that depend of the total true energy level, - and hence either contracting or expanding reality (locally) proportional with the change of the local total energy level . The common denominator for this process is the elastic structure of space. Elastic space is an integrated and intensive part of this process. This is what the Lorentz transformation is about…. Give a damn of kindergarten brainwashed train bla bla bla bla.. The Lorentz transformation was known before the theory of relativity. The theory of relativity only tried to explain these transformations, - but did not completely succeed. A modification is necessary. http://pubs.sciepub.com/FAAC/4/1/4/index.html |

Your response does nothing to counter my point. You’re still asserting interstellar objects need to come from a particular direction. You’re still claiming that our solar system has cosmic significance and objects from deep space have to approach our solar system from a particular direction. |

Which doesn't make sense because a transform on x=0 will not map to x'=0 unless t=0 or v=0.
So you if you do a transform from the platform frame to the train frame at x=0, you can't then do a transform from the train frame back to the platform frame with x=0 and claim that it should be mapping back to the original time. |

You haven't defined any events on the x=0 or x'=0 world lines, except for the initial light flash at t=t'=0. Claims about the timing of events that you haven't defined cannot be evaluated. You are trying to take advantage of your own lack of clarity to give you wiggle room to claim a contradiction where there is none. The thought experiment you pasted from a textbook defines its relevant events (the emission of the light pulse at the near side of the carriage, the arrival/reflection of the light pulse at the far side of the carriage, and the detection of the light pulse at the near side of the carriage again). That specificity makes the ensuing calculations possible. Your thought experiment, so far, lacks that specificity. My post #349 completely describes the physics of your thought experiment as you've presented it so far. If you want to do calculations concerning additional events on the x=0 or x'=0 world lines, then you need to define some additional events on the x=0 or x'=0 world lines. |
