Abstract:
In connection with the special theory of relativity, Einstein made use of a now familiar thought experiment1 involving two lightning flashes, a railway train, and an embankment. Whether he used it merely to help explain the theory to others or whether it played a role in the theory's very generation as well is perhaps a matter of conjecture. However, physicist Richard Feynman, for one, believes that Einstein first conceived his theories in the visualizations of thought experiments and developed their mathematical formulations afterwards. According to a recent magazine essay, ‘Einstein came to an understanding about relativity by imagining people going up in elevators and beaming light back and forth between rocket ships.

Abstract:
This article studies the relativity of simultaneity and finds that the relativity of simultaneity will cause "the relativity of existence". It also leads to multiple universes in the real world. Or it will result in "the absence of practical choices" and "the loss of practical possibilities". Also, the relativity of simultaneity will lead to a predestined world and denies the existence of human being free-will choice, the existence of accidental random events, and the existence of probability factors and uncertainty in quantum mechanics.

Abstract:
Abstract What is simultaneous with an event is what can interact with it; events have duration; therefore, any given event has distant events simultaneous with it, even according to Special Relativity. Consequently, the extension of our pre-relativistic judgments of distant simultaneity are largely preserved.

Abstract:
This article studies the situations when 2 beams of lasers are emitted from each end of a rod to the middle point of the rod when the rod is static or moving. When observers are located in different places, whether the 2 beams of light reach the middle point at the same time can be unsure. This could previously be explained by “The relativity of simultaneity”. But we can connect the incident whether the 2 beams of light reach the middle point simultaneously with a physical result. Then we will find whether this physical result happens or not should never be determined by where the observer is located, so whether the 2 beams of light reach middle point at the same time should not be unsure. Thus “The relativity of simultaneity” is not a valid theory and theory of relativity is problematic.

Abstract:
On April 22, 1922, the Societé française de Philosophie hosted Albert Einstein for a discussion of the theory of relativity. In the course of this discussion, Henri Bergson, who was at that time writing Duration and Simultaneity, which explored some of the philosophical implications of Einstein's theory, was asked to share his thoughts. The resulting remarks offer a glimpse into Bergson's analysis of the concept of simultaneity, and Einstein's brief reply reveals his insistence that time itself, not just "the physicist's time," is relative.

Abstract:
Relativity claims that the simultaneity between two (or more) observers, each traveling in different Inertial Reference Frames (IRFs) is such that for two spaceships moving through space at a high-speed relative to one another “inside the frame of reference of Ship A, everything is moving normally, but everything over on Ship B appears to be moving slower (and vice versa)”. However, as I will explain, this interpretation leads to an inconsistency which cannot be true. I point out the error being made in the interpretation of Minkowski diagrams that leads to this inconsistency, and how the diagram should be interpreted to correct this error. This paper demonstrates that a moving object’s rate of time is determined based on its speed relative to a stationary reference frame and that the light signals propagating between objects (from which observers can determine the other object’s rate of time) move at the speed of light c with respect to this stationary frame. If two objects are moving at the same speed through the stationary frame (but in different directions to each other) then they will have the same degree of time dilation and will thus have the same rate of time, despite the relative motion that exists between them.

Abstract:
Two intertwined issues in special relativity-clock synchronisation and the experimental verification of special relativity-are investigated, and novel results are given in both areas. The validity of the conventionality of distant simultaneity is supported, and the special theory of relativity is recast in a general synchrony "gauge" to reveal the operational significance of synchronisation in measurement and prediction within special relativity. For similar reasons, the Mansouri-Sexl test-theory is extended to allow arbitrary synchrony to be properly taken into account in the verification of relativistic theories. The generalised test-theory is used to analyse recent experiments and to demonstrate that there is no basis to claims that simultaneity relations are empirically definable. Synchrony considerations are extended to the case of a non-inertial observer exhibiting arbitrary motion within the context of any metric theory: a local co-ordinate system is developed using differential geometric techniques and a generalisation of the Frenet frame. The analysis used for the accelerated observer is adapted to produce a test-theory of local Lorentz invariance in a space of arbitrary curvature. The test-theory incorporates the conventionality of distant simultaneity which, combined with the geometric approach, illuminates the role of synchrony in test-theories. The Sagnac effect is investigated within this new test-theory, enabling the use of a precision ring laser, such as the Canterbury Ring Laser, to bound parameters of the theory and thus to test local Lorentz invariance.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] As gravitational wave detectors approach sensitivities that will allow observations to become routine, astrophysics lies on the cusp of an exciting new era. Potential sources will include transients such as merging neutron stars and black holes, supernova explosions or the engines that power gamma-ray bursts. This thesis will be devoted to the astrophysical gravitational wave background signal produced by cosmological populations of such transient signals. Particular attention will be devoted to the observation-time dependence imposed on the individual sources that accumulate to produce a gravitational wave background signal. The ultimate aim is to determine what information is encoded in the temporal evolution of such a signal. To lay the foundations for further investigation, the stochastic gravitational wave background signal from neutron star birth throughout the Universe has been calculated. In view of the uncertainties in both the single-source emissions and source rate histories, several models of each are employed. The results show that that the resulting signals are only weakly dependent on the source-rate evolution model and that prominent features in the single-source spectra can be related to the background spectra. In comparison with previous studies, the use of relativistic single-source gravitational wave waveforms rather than Newtonian models and a more slowly evolving source-rate density results in a 1 { 2 order of magnitude reduction in signal. ... A comparison with the more commonly used brightness distribution of events shows that when applying both methods to a data stream containing a background of Gaussian distributed false alarms, the brightness distribution yielded lower standard errors, but was biased by the false alarms. In comparison, a fitting procedure based on the time evolution of events was less prone to errors resulting from false alarms, but as fewer events contributed to the data, had a lower resolution. In further support of the time dependent signature of transient events, an alternative technique is fiapplied to the same source population. In this case, the local rate density is probed by measuring the statistical compatibility of the filtered data against synthetic time dependent data. Although this method is not as compact as the fitting procedure, the rate estimates are compatible. To further investigate how the observation time dependence of transient populations can be used to constrain global parameters, the method is applied to Swift long gamma-ray burst data. By considering a distribution in peak °ux rather than a gravitational wave amplitude, gamma-ray bursts can be considered as a surrogate for resolved gravitational wave transients. For this application a peak °ux{observation time relation is described that takes the form of a power law that is invariant to the luminosity distribution of the sources. Additionally, the method is enhanced by invoking time reversal invariance and the temporal cosmological principle. Results are presented to show that the peak °ux{observation time relation is in good agreement with recent estimates of source parameters. Additionally, to show that the intrinsic time dependence allows the method to be used as a predictive tool, projections are made to determine the upper limits in peak °ux of future gamma-ray burst detections for Swift.

Abstract:
In questo lavoro di tesi si affronta il problema riguardo alla convenzionalità della definizione di simultaneità nella teoria della Relatività Ristretta. Il primo capitolo è dedicato all’esposizione della tesi convenzionalista, presentando i postulati sulla velocità della luce e le loro conseguenze fisiche e filosofiche riguardo al concetto di simultaneità. Nel secondo capitolo si descrivono tre diversi esperimenti volti a misurare la velocità della luce in una sola direzione e si analizzano i motivi per cui essi non forniscono una misura accettabile. Nel terzo capitolo si discutono due critiche nei confronti della convenzionalità della simultaneità: il teorema di Malament e il trasporto lento di orologi; nell’ultimo paragrafo di tale capitolo si illustrano le conseguenze sulla struttura dello spaziotempo se si prendono in considerazione simultaneità alternative a quella standard. Nelle conclusioni, infine, si esaminano i motivi per cui il dibattito sul tema della convenzionalità non si è ancora concluso, verificando se ancora oggi sia rilevante interrogarsi su questo problema.

A feasible alternative to minimize the problems consists in carrying out experiments analogue to certain events of the Modern Physics. Another problem consists in the lack of skilled high-school graduated teachers in order to work with the new context. Therefore, the objective of this work was to investigate the construction process of the Relativity of Simultaneity, concept through the use of an experimental apparatus, with students of Physics of Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE). Thus, it was chosen the Personal Construct Theory as a methodological-theoretical purpose, and it was developed an experimental appararatus, involving an electronic circuit to control a LED (light-emitting diode), matrix that permits analogies with a light beam behavior interacting with different obstacles. The results showed that the developed experimental pattern was decisive concerning the promotion of cognitive conflicts, making students review their initial concepts and consequently, reorganize them, considering some aspects as: time, distance, constancy of the light speed and events that happen at the same time, which are essential to the purpose concept comprehension; The Relativity of Simultaneity.<br>A inserção da Física Moderna no Ensino Médio, com seus postulados e modelos teóricos que não podem ser diretamente vivenciados ou demonstrados, trazem dificuldades adicionais para o ensino-aprendizagem de Física. Uma alternativa viável para minimizar os problemas que daí advêm consiste na utilização de experimentos análogos à certos acontecimentos da Física Moderna. Outro problema consiste na falta de preparação dos professores formados para o Ensino Médio para atuarem no novo contexto. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o processo de construção do conceito de Relatividade da Simultaneidade, através do uso de um aparato experimental, com alunos do Curso de Licenciatura em Física da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco – UFRPE. Para tanto, foi escolhida a Teoria dos Construtos Pessoais como pressuposto teórico metodológico, e foi desenvolvido um aparato experimental, envolvendo um circuito eletrônico para controlar uma matriz de LED (Diodo Emissor de Luz), que permitisse analogias com o comportamento de um feixe de luz ao interagir com distintos obstáculos. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo experimental desenvolvido foi determinante no sentido de promover conflitos cognitivos, que levaram os alunos a reverem suas concepções iniciais e, conseqüentemente, reestruturá-las, considerando alguns aspectos, como: tempo, distância, constância da velocidade da luz e eventos que ocorrem ao mesmo tempo, essenciais para a compreensão do conceito proposto; a Relatividade da Simultaneidade.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;Matlab Uttar – Gazaria Bridge is an 1850 m long bridge in Bangladesh, with a cable stayed main span of 400 m. The location of the bridge requires facing a multiple risk scenario. Firstly, monsoon climate causes yearly floods, constraining construction activities. The rivers’ course varies significantly with the years, and large scouring at the foundations needs to be considered. Typhonic winds are relatively frequent. The bridge is in an active seismic risk area. Also, the navigation traffic requires a 10 000 DWT vessel impact scenario. The design of a long span cable stayed bridge with such set of risks requires an adequate approach with a thorough analysis of the reliability, stablishing several risk levels for each hazard and defining an adequate simultaneity assessment.&lt;/p&gt;

Full text
Abstract:
The Snorre TLP has been operating in the Northern North Sea since 1992. During the last year, an extensive reanalysis of tether tension, TLP motion and airgap has been carried out in order to ensure that the TLP can withstand updated environmental conditions and design requirements. It is the object of the present paper to describe the analysis methods which have been employed to determine extreme tether loading and to compare analysis results with model test results. The model tests were carried out in the facilities at MARIN in the Netherlands and considered more than 200 three hour realizations of irregular seastates with and without wind and current. Typical fatigue seastates as well as extreme 100 year and 10 0000 year seastates were investigated for both head and quartering seas. The extensive database of model test results gives an opportunity to study the accuracy of the analysis methods. The analysis of the TLP response was carried out in the time domain using the SIMO software developed by Marintek. In the work described here, the results from a purely linear radiation-diffraction analysis is used as the main load model in SIMO together with slender element additions based on the incident wave kinematics. The slender elements give loads on tethers and risers, viscous loads on the TLP hull and also provide a simple third order load model for the excitation of high frequent response in the surface zone. SIMO has also been implemented with second order quadratic force transfer functions, but it is concluded that the second order loading does not give significant contributions to extreme tether tension. It is concluded that, at least for the Snorre TLP, the relatively simple analysis model gives good agreement with measured extreme tether tension provided that the TLP is modeled carefully. By filtering the tether tension time series, the contributions due to wave frequent and high frequent (resonant) tether tension may be separated. It is shown that the main discrepancy between model test and analysis results of tether tension lies not in the magnitude but in the simultaneity of wave frequent and high frequent tether response. If this is due to the tendency for large waves to propagate towards the front of the nonlinear wave envelope, this may be extremely difficult to capture in analysis models.
