The time formula in STR is wrong

Einstein is well known by the Special Theory of Relativity. However, the time formula in STR is not correct. The correct time formula should be:

Ta' = Ta + (ao/C) ----- [1]

Ta represents the time of an event started at point a and Ta' stands for the time recorded by the camcorder at point o for the same event started at point a. ao stands for the distance from point a to point o and C represents the speed of light.


The time formula for a period of time should be:

Tab' = Tab + ((bo-ao)/C) ----- [2]

Tab represents the time period of the event started at point a and ended at point b and Tab' is the time period recorded by a camcorder at point o for the same event.


The proof for formula [1] is very simple. Since the 'picture of the event-starting' takes time to travel from point a to point o, when the camcorder recorded that 'picture of event-starting' the time should be (ao/C) after the actual starting time. Ta' = Ta + (ao/C).


The Lorentz transformation is not proved yet. There are some minor mistakes and one major mistake in Einstein's 1905 paper.


Thank for let me keep my user page. I will try to explain my view points in better way in the future. John C. Huang (talk) 04:08, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
