E9.6 - Can Radial Symmetry Save The Lorentz Transformations? Ask Us Whatever.

Episode 9.6 makes the case for a universal preferred reference frame. Joe Sorge takes us through a set-up that introduces a neutral observer in a third frame of reference and compares it to the set-up we learned about in E7.4 where there were two reference frames. By walking through the results of the Lorentz Transformations and the Velocity Addition formula in both set ups, Joe adeptly shows that while a third reference frame with a neutral observer allows for some additional symmetry, it fails to provide the original numerical relationships between frames or between objects within frames. Joe checks time elapsed, clock offsets, length contraction, and time dilation. Despite the symmetry, Joe shows that the Lorentz model does not predict the correct real-world results. Watch the whole episode for a full explanation.

I can only conclude that you have obviously no idea what you are talking about. I wish you would first educate yourself before you spread misleading information on the information. Special relativity has been confirmed countless times by experiment and is perfectly mathematically consistent. We, the human species, are as confident in the truth of special relativity, just about the same as we know that the world is round. This video really is on the same level of flat-earthers. I can't believe this.

You have just destroyed any chance of my getting a good night’s sleep. 😢

To say that time dilation is calculated by the relative speed difference between any two objects is simply not true.
It is the speed through space, that compresses the x, y, z lengths and therefore increases time dilation.

Length compression affects x, y and z lengths!

Ther was a man named carl munck rip😢 he was a mathematician his work is relevant to the universe
