   being investigated in space at various instants of time, is called a frame of reference. Sometimes the frame of reference is the coordinate system itself if it is provided with a “clock” and the solid in which the system is rigidly fixed is called the body of reference. In each specific problem the frame of refer¬ ence is selected so as to simplify the problem to the maximum extent. Inertial frames of reference (2.1.2) are the most com¬ monly used in physics.

   The question is, "Can you tell if it's you who's responsible for this relative motion, or maybe nothing happened to you and the other train is moving the opposite way?" And the claim of relativity is that you really cannot tell. You can tell there is motion between the two trains that wasn't there before. That's very clear if you look outside but there is no way to tell what actually happened when you were sleeping. Whether you were given the velocity of 200 to the right or the other train was given a velocity of 200 to the left or maybe a combination of the two, you just cannot tell. That's t…

   If you see a distance between two masses to be one meter, I'll also think it's one meter. If the force is 1 over the square of the distance, we'll agree on the force, we'll agree on the acceleration, we'll agree on everything. And once you've proven F = ma is valid, it follows that every mechanical phenomenon will behave the same way. That's the reason things behave the same way. Yes? Student: If for some weird reason, suppose different frames of reference, the rule F = ma was to fail, what would happen? Professor Ramamurti Shankar: You mean if the rule failed in the other frame? Student: Hypo…

   So, at the time of Galileo and Newton everybody agreed that you cannot detect it. Remember that if you started out and Newton's laws worked for you, you are called an inertial observer. One of the laws you want is, if you leave something, it should stay where it is. When the train is accelerating, that won't be true. You leave things on the floor when it's accelerating, things will slide backwards. So, with no apparent force acting on it, things will begin to accelerate; that's a non-inertial frame. We are not interested in that. You started out as an observer for whom the laws of Newton work,…

   It's those kind of chains where there's for one state, you go only to one new state, the same one all the time, and that always goes to the same new state. So, you cycle. So, those have the right Lorent contraction, the same as the um as the time contraction. But what's interesting is so so so now I've been working uh on this. It looks to me like I can now embed these end cycles into it looks like I can boot up manowski space entirely from them. So, so we we haven't proven the theorems. You're not done until you're done. But, but I see no obstruction. Looks it looks to me I would say 99.99% no…

   So, my counter, the trace counter, isn't incrementing as fast as the bigger counter. And so after about a year after I discovered the trace logic and by the way I should say when I say I discovered it um it's it became apparent to me that it probably was a logic and then I went to my mathematician friend and collaborator Chayan Pash who I've worked with since 1985 and I said to Chaitton I you know I think this this is a logic you know is a partial technically we call it a partial order. So the trace gives you a partial order instead of all markup chains. And he said, "Nah, it's too pretty to b…

   The fact that you need x and t, or, if you're living in three spatial dimensions, the fact that you need x, y, z and t is not new. That is not the revolution Einstein created. The fact that you need four coordinates to label an event is nothing new. What he did that is new will be clear later. So, does everyone understand what an event means? Okay? An event is something that happens and to say exactly where and when it happened, in our world of one dimension, we give it an x and we give it a t. Now, that's me, and I'm going to give my frame of reference the name S. It turns out S is not just b…

    There is something appealing in this argument. As Priest and Routley put it, “in change… there is at each stage a moment when the changing item is both in a given state, because it has just reached that state, but also not in that state, because it is not stationary but moving through and beyond that state” (Priest, Routley and Norman, 1989, p. 7). Think of a body coming to rest at a given time, and compare it with the same body proceeding on to further motion. There must be something about the body at that instant which distinguishes the two scenarios, or there could be nothing at the time to…
