But how would you determine if it hits you or not. Well that would be a bit easy since one would involve lots of blood, but theoretically.

practically the guy will move past before the bullet reaches him :p
Were assuming that I fired it far enough in advance for it go in front of you relative to me.

about the twins paradox the twins dun just suddenly revert back to the state when they meet again on earth.... it can actualy be explained by relativity




edit:

im thinking that the 2 events of the bullet and the person passing through the same space occupy different pts in time

Just like the train and the tunnel, therefore the train wont fit in the tunnel when its been sealed off.

how might you do that? so they continue to age at different rate when they are relatively at the same speed compared to each other? but this is all gay anyway... have they actually got two twins and tested it?

They have done it with Atomic Clocks, are two atomic clocks considered twins?

so it must be physical if you consider them as twins.

what is wrong with you? hahaha its a thought experiment damn it. its there to test the physical existence of this length... not if you can actually do it or not. hahaha :p

its all theory..... i mean its just a way to explain things.... in the end isnt thats what all science is doing? and isnt that what we take as facts anyway?

Since they measure time at the same rate, time dilation is a real thing, however you cant put something in the middle of a time whether its relative of or not like you can with a length.

What physical existence its all relative, there is no physical existence.

why don't you understand? are you just trying to make me angry? what kind of argument is this? don't make me quote the stupid descartes guy.

all im saying is whether this length can be felt by hands instead of just rather seen by the eye. ok? hahaha

you idiots!!! now you gonna drive me crazy... the whole point of the experiment was to test that. i don't no whats the difference ask rene descartes: "all the things one can take as fact stems from the realisation that all facts about the outside world are acquired through the senses. the senses can be deceived, and therefore the information they convey to our brains can not be considered absolutely true."

hahaha. you guys just don't give up do you. :p

How would the amount of hands work, since the amount of hands measuring from the handees perspective he is finished, touching it x times, but from the trains perspective it might take 3x hands would each hand be 3 times as wide or would they have large gaps etc.

Oh and how would you measure it in hands since to keep hands next to eachother you will have to be moving as fast as the vechile.

Well Im just making sure you logically justify all your arguments so I can get the whole truth and understanding.

blah this is getting philosphical...

im saying that seeing, touching, using a camera, clock etc will be the same. because they are all your perception. and there is no absolute truth that can be understood by humans, only what we perceive, which is what we decode to be reality anyway

:p

edit: so i think everything you do will validate what you see as long as you remain in that frame


also its a bit late isnt it?

hehehe:D

no im serious...

Umm length dilation and fitting a train in a tunnel and sealing it off.

Edit: Its to late to think about relativity, no more arguing till I wake up again.
