Object: Einstein, his logic and the zombie cult
Curiously, sometimes Einstein correctly says "if this, then that", but
then derives "this" from "that" (the fallacy of affirming the
consequent) in an attempt to reinforce the intellectual development in
the zombie cult. For instance, in Appendix 1 in his "Relativity", he
has
A) If x-ct=0, then x'-ct'=0, and vice versa.
B) (x'-ct') = lambda(x-ct)
and the accompanying text is equivalent to "if B, then A" (which is
correct). However, in fact, Einsteins postulates A and obtains B, i.e.
acts in accordance with "if A, then B" (which is incorrect).
The zombie cult is usually engaged in worshipping and money making but
occasionally organizes fierce celebrations: so glorious is this ability
of Einstein to derive everything from two simple postulates.

Linearity of the transformation means that there are numbers
P, Q, R, S such that the transformation can be written as
{ x' = P x + Q t
{ t' = R x + S t .
Then the transformation of the world line
x = c t
can be found by inserting this in the transformation, giving:
{ x' = P c t + Q t
{ t' = R c t + S t
resulting in
{ x' = (c P + Q) t
{ t' = (c R + S) t
which gives after eliminating t:
x' / t' = (c P + Q) / (c R + S)
or equivalently
x' - (c P + Q) / (c R + S) t' = 0
Demanding that this is equivalent with
x' - c t' = 0
implies that
(c P + Q) / (c R + S) = c
and thus that
(c P + Q) = c (c R + S)
and, for later use in (*):
Q - c S = - c (P - c R)
So now we take the transformation equations and find that
they satisfy
x' - c t' = P x + Q t - c (R x + S t)
= (P - c R) x + (Q - c S) t
= (P - c R) x - c (P - c R) t (*)
= (P - c R) (x - c t)
= L ( x - c t ) ,
provided we take L as
L = P - c R.
So we have proven that demanding that the world line
x - c t = 0
gets linearly transformed into
x' - c t' = 0 ,
implies that there is a number L such that the transformation satisfies
x' - c t' = L ( x - c t )

Of course, bozzo, but that is not what Einstein said and the way he

a priori, the transformation must be linear. You problem appears at the
last step, see below.

I always thought he grounded his physics in this little amateur paper:

x' / t' = (c P + Q) / (c R + S)

Demanding that this is equivalent with

implies that
(c P + Q) / (c R + S) = c
and thus that
(c P + Q) = c (c R + S)
and, for later use in (*):
Q - c S = - c (P - c R)

So now we take the transformation equations and find that
they satisfy
x' - c t' = P x + Q t - c (R x + S t)
= (P - c R) x + (Q - c S) t
= (P - c R) x - c (P - c R) t (*)

= L ( x - c t ) ,
provided we take L as
L = P - c R.


Thus, constancy of c must be postulated a priori, and not as you

I don't recall ever having said that the constancy of c
"can be derived bozzo".

You are saying this. Now tell us, why you assume,
a priori, the transformation must be linear. You problem appears at the
last step, see below.




Then the transformation of the world line
x =3D c t
can be found by inserting this in the transformation, giving:
{ x' =3D P c t + Q t
{ t' =3D R c t + S t
resulting in
{ x' =3D (c P + Q) t
{ t' =3D (c R + S) t
which gives after eliminating t:
x' / t' =3D (c P + Q) / (c R + S)
or equivalently
x' - (c P + Q) / (c R + S) t' =3D 0

Demanding that this is equivalent with
x' - c t' =3D 0
implies that
(c P + Q) / (c R + S) =3D c
and thus that
(c P + Q) =3D c (c R + S)
and, for later use in (*):
Q - c S =3D - c (P - c R)

So now we take the transformation equations and find that
they satisfy
x' - c t' =3D P x + Q t - c (R x + S t)
=3D (P - c R) x + (Q - c S) t
=3D (P - c R) x - c (P - c R) t (*)
=3D (P - c R) (x - c t)
=3D L ( x - c t ) ,
provided we take L as
L =3D P - c R.


Thus, constancy of c must be postulated a priori, and not as you
insisted in other posts that it can be derived bozzo.


I don't recall ever having said that the constancy of c
"can be derived bozzo".

try again, you may recall unless your condition has become

No idiot, just prove to me why homogeneity precludes transformations
other than linear. First, learn what homogeneity is all about. It has
nothing to do with events taking place in two different reference
frames, but only with the properties of a closed system which undergoes
a translation in its own reference frame.
"Assume that the basic laws of physics are the same everywhere. Then
the mechanical properties of a closed system are unchanged by any
parallel displacement of the entire system in space. This is the
assumption of the homogeneity of space.":

Hey Bilge, do you know that reversing the burden of proof is an
informal fallacy?
The statement is: In the first place it is clear that the equations
must be linear on account of the properties of homogeneity which we
attribute to space and time.
I need proof of this statement. That is, I need a proof that shows that
out of infinite possible transformations, "the equations must be linear
on account of the properties of homogeneity which we attribute to space
and time."
By reversing the burden of proof, you will not achive anything. I did
not make the statement, Dr. Al did and his Dirty follower conceeded. If
you believe that God exists, don't ask me to prove He does not.
Anyway, I believe that the concept of linear transformation does not
even apply in the case of Dr. Al's derivation of the LT. It is just a
postulations that suits the end result.

No idiot, just prove to me why homogeneity precludes transformations
other than linear.


Find a counter-example.


Hey Bilge, do you know that reversing the burden of proof is an
informal fallacy?

I surely hope that Bilge will not try to explain to something
like you ;-)


The statement is: In the first place it is clear that the equations
must be linear on account of the properties of homogeneity which we
attribute to space and time.

I need proof of this statement. That is, I need a proof that shows that
out of infinite possible transformations, "the equations must be linear
on account of the properties of homogeneity which we attribute to space
and time."

Give a compelling reason for using a non-linear transformation.
And then give us your favourite.
I already gave mine: Crackpot Shubert's generalized transformation
of http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/generalized.htm
with the cube root of a Sierpinski-Zygmund bijection as zeta.
Your turn.


By reversing the burden of proof, you will not achive anything. I did
not make the statement, Dr. Al did and his Dirty follower conceeded. If
you believe that God exists, don't ask me to prove He does not.

Then stop whining and screaming that he should not and
cannot exist. Prove it.


Anyway, I believe that the concept of linear transformation does not
even apply in the case of Dr. Al's derivation of the LT. It is just a
postulations that suits the end result.

Just a postulations?
A bit nervous again?
Try digging yourself in some more.

Are you going to say that a universal physics cannot exceed your

You are the 'celestial spheres' of (anytime) empirical evidence. If

Mike,
Your intuition is correct. It's simply not true that the equations
must be linear. Einstein was wrong. Seeing this requires
understanding the Shubertian clock.
http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/special.pdf
http://www.everythingimportant.org/viewtopic.php?p=3D4305#4305

... just prove to me why homogeneity precludes transformations
other than linear.

Homogeneity, as you have defined it, doesn't preclude nonlinear
coordinate transformations in the derivation of SR.
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/8317eb6e27bcc7
http://www.everythingimportant.org/viewtopic.php?t=3D221
http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/generalized.htm

First, learn what homogeneity is all about. It has nothing to
do with events taking place in two different reference frames,
but only with the properties of a closed system which undergoes
a translation in its own reference frame.

"Assume that the basic laws of physics are the same everywhere.
Then the mechanical properties of a closed system are unchanged
by any parallel displacement of the entire system in space.
This is the assumption of the homogeneity of space.":
http://electron6.phys.utk.edu/qm1/modules/m12/symmetry.htm

Mike,
I agree. That's a good definition of homogeneity.

Forget about Einstein's tortured derivation. There's no reason
to base relativity on Einstein's version of the work of Poincar=E9
and Lorentz. There's no need to fixate on the clumsiness of
anyone's baby steps. The best derivation of special relativity
available anywhere to date in terms of sheer elegance, physical
intuitiveness and mathematical simplicity is given here:
http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/special.pdf
http://www.everythingimportant.org/viewtopic.php?t=3D1100
Only the mathematically inept believe that Einstein discovered
an admirable derivation of special relativity.
