Re: The Theory of Special Relativity for the Totally Confused Beginner

Jos, it is the following quote from your post that makes no sense. IN relativity this simply does not occur. The moving observer sees no change in his time or length conditions it is only the stationary observer that sees these changes........ the odometer and clocks on board his ship will always be correct, he can not and does not beat them as you suggest.

Quote:
How can you travel at a certain speed for a certain time and arrive much earlier than your odometer and clock states? It makes absolutely no sense
This is just showing how little you understand even the basic concepts of relativity. I do not mean it as an insult but you are simply showing how little you know about the theory and not that the theory is illogical.

I might add I myself have some grave reservations about SRT but certainly not for the reasons your are claiming as illogical.
What is illogical is to claim knowledge of a theory when this is obviously not the case....
