Special Relativity: Time Dilation

[SuperMagnetizer]

Given:

True Muon Lifetime = T = 2.200 x 10^-6 sec

True Distance Traveled = D = 3.2480 km

True Muon Velocity = V = D / T = 4.9247c

Calculated:

Relativity Factor = R = [(V/c)^2 + 1]^1/2 = 5.0252

Apparent Muon velocity = v = V / R = 0.9800c

Check on Relativity Factor = R = [1 - (v/c)^2]^-1/2 = 5.0252

Apparent Muon lifetime = t = T R = 11.055 x 10^-6 sec

Apparent Distance Traveled (Muon Frame) = d = D / R = 646.35 m = 2120.58 feet

Given:

True Muon Lifetime = T = 2.200 x 10^-6 sec.

True Muon Velocity = V = 4.9247c

Calculated:

Relativity Factor = R = [(V/c)^2 + 1]^1/2 = 5.0252.

Measured velocity = v = V / R = 0.9800c.

Dilated Muon Lifetime = t = R T = 11.055 x 10^-6 sec.

True Distance Traveled = v t = 10,656 feet = 3.2480 km.

Given:

Muon Lifetime = T = 2.200 x 10^-6 sec.

Measured velocity = v = 0.9800c.

Calculated:

Relativity Factor = R = [(1 - (v/c)^2]^-1/2 = 5.0252.

True Velocity = V = R v = 4.9247c

True Distance Traveled = D = VT = 10,656 feet = 3.2480 km.

lets see there two special relativity and general relativity. and if you study this for years you forget how to spell and other things taught in high school.

[milsumla]

lol, u ppl get mad excited about this stuff =P

im not dissing, just funny

im interested too...

*certified = typo. brownrighofuranus is still Retard Certified.

Clocks do change.Einstein is right.

[addikaye03]

u have no idea

[darthkerpal]

u have to understand that scientifically time is a dimension, a thread that can be distorted...want to think it of a more mundane way?think about it as the speed at which the chemichal processes happen, not the speed of real/mundane/spiritual time as at least I concieved it, that is why it was hard for me to understand einstein..when you are moving quickly, the atoms you are made up of keep moving at the same speed they did, but now they have to cover more ground..take the mirror starship exampl

[pheonex]

Hey, i know this comment was from 8 months ago, but, shit thats a really good way of explaining it.

"..when you are moving quickly, the atoms you are made up of keep moving at the same speed they did, but now they have to cover more ground"

[darthkerpal]

is this for real? in any case that explanation is still pretty foggy, but comments have to be short and concise, and I had to cut it real bad

[pheonex]

Is what for real? I'm saying that yes, you actually explained it well :)

I guess i understand it wether it's foggy or not, because i already know somewhat about the subject...:)

[darthkerpal]

oh, awesome dude, its good to see somebody with some brains!

[Cartesiantheater]

BUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

This is either hilariously clever humor or you are entirely stupid beyond measure. You reject something you can't even begin to hope to fathom! What an IDIOT. Remember when people thought the world was flat? It was because they only had access to a small amount of the data. Likewise, the assumption that time is uniform for all observers was a remnant of a lack of information. You lack information, and even worse, you are willfully ignorant about it. Retard Certifide!

[rabmunch]

God created the World.

The World is One Whole.

Time & Space never change.

Man eats of the tree of Relativity, which is forbidden fruit. It drives him insane.

Lorentz contraction was idea of Mephistopheles. You are bewitched by modernity's sorcery!

[captainretardo]

lolwut

[rabmunch]

You have eaten of the forbidden fruit.

You speak in demonic hieroglyphs, Keemosabee.

Modern mathematical science believes it is eternally progressive and hence that it will never arrive at the final truth, or that the final truth is unknowable. Hence Being is fundamentally mysterious. One might as well believe in 1001 divinities as think that science is a power "to alleviate man's estate" (Bacon).

2 Questions: How long was it before you were born? How long will it be after you are dead?

[captainretardo]

How long was what before I was born? How long will what be after I die?

[rabmunch]

Question 2: who is dead for a longer time?

Two men, born on the same day; one dies 40 years later, the other dies 36 years after that.

Who will be dead for the longer time?

[rabmunch]

How much time passed before you were born?

How much time will pass after your death?

Are we the same thing before we are conceived as we will be after our death?

I compel you to answer! I conjure you.

[captainretardo]

If you're asking who IS dead for a longer time, then the man who died 40 years later is my answer.

If you're asking who will be dead for the longer time, I would say the same man.

"1: How much time passed before you were born?

2: How much time will pass after your death?"

1: I don't know.

2: I don't know.

Do you expect me to know?

[mdma4life]

lol your stupid dude, yeh they do, in fact, all atomic clocks in the world need to be calibrated based on their altitude because they show different times (different frame of reference). Furthermore, TIME IS A DIMENSION !! ... you need to go read what special relativity is, that is if your mind can comprehend it

[pheonex]

Lol, you retart
