Einstein realised that what the external observer would really see would be a light clock that appears to be slowed down. The clock has to behave in this way ...

The light clock is a simple way of showing a basic feature of Special relativity. A clock is designed to work by bouncing a flash of light off a distant ...

The simplest case is when the light clock is perpendicular to the direction of motion. It can be shown that even in the special theory of relativity, observers ...

Here's a primitive clock: a blob of light bouncing back and forth between two fixed mirrors. If the clock is moving relative to us, the light must go further on ...

22 февр. 2024 г. · No, surely not. All that has been demonstrated here is that light travels further (and at different rates) between frames, but the ticks in the ...

Imagine a clock that consists of a pulse of light and two mirrors, one at the top of the clock and one at the bottom. The clock "ticks" when the pulse reaches ...

9 сент. 2021 г. · Actually simultaneity is the reason why a laser pointed upwards and moving horizontally will emit light with a horizontal component of velocity.

Abstract: The clock hypothesis is taken to be an assumption independent of special relativity necessary to describe accelerated clocks.

25 дек. 2021 г. · No. If the light was fired off vertically when the light clock was stationary, and the light clock immediately started to move after the light ...
