30. K Calculus (#6/6): Three proofs of length expansion

Image
Hello.    Today, let's take a look at proof of length expansion using K Calculus. The first is to use the K value, the second is to modify the method of Hermann Bondi, and the third is to follow David Bohm's notation.   The first method and the second method are the ones we've already seen. I will show you again in the intention to refine your thinking, and I will look at the third method. Let's take a quick look at the meaning of the K value before that. Figure 1. Meaning of k   When John sends a light signal every four seconds, James receives a signal every four seconds. By the way, when Alice is moving from Johnson to James, Alice receives this signal at six seconds instead of four seconds. The ratio of John to Alice's signal interval is (4 seconds: 6 seconds). This can be expressed as (1: k), where the ratio is the meaning of k. It's simple. The following relation holds between the speed of Alice and k. Where v is the relat

29. K Calculus (#5/6): Criticism on the derivation of length contraction by Hermann Bondi

   Hello. Now this is the fifth post about K Calculus. The previous post is for writing this post. We will talk about the derivation of the correct relativistic length by K Calculus in the 5th and 6th post.   The K Calculus method being introduced is simple and powerful. It is a way to draw most of the conclusions of special theory of relativity. Moreover, it draws all conclusions from common sense. Hermann Bondi and David Bohm David Bohm introduces K Calculus in his book in detail. Figure 1. David Bohm's book There is one important difference between the two books. Hermann Bondi used this method to derive length contraction. But David Bohm did not derive length contractions in his book. Figure 2. Hermann Bond홀 David Bohm    David Bohm has argued for hidden variable theory as an interpretation of odd quantum mechanical phenomena. He thought because mankind does not know what is on the back of the essence. He judged what was hidden behind the phenomen
