Synchronizing clocks in an inertial frame if light is anisotropic

This means for proper time squared: ##(d\tau)^2 = (dT + \kappa dX)^2 - dX^2 - dY^2 - dZ^2\ \ \ \ \ (1)## Multiplying equation ##(1)##...

But I think it is correct: The reason is, that the term ##m ({dx \over d\tau}, {dy \over d\tau}, {dz \over d\tau})## does not contain...

Conserved energy is the time-component of the 4-momentum ##p_\mu=m {dx_\mu \over d\tau}##. ##E = m {dt \over d\tau}##. The conserved...

Einstein modified Newton's definition ##p_x=mv_x## to ##p_x=m {dx \over d\tau}##. This does not depend on the clock-synchronization...

As @PeterDonis said in #22, the OP calculated in the Born coordinates (see the "edit" note at the end of #20). I just "tidied up" the...

I'm not sure the OP is actually using the same Born coordinates for both observers. The calculation in post #7 looks like it's...

To my understanding this is valid for oberserver ##p_1##, but not for ##p_2## described in the same coordinates.

I think you cannot integrate over 100 revolutions, because the used Born coordinates are only defined in the range ##-\pi < \phi <...

I think you are only calculating in the simple non-rotating frame and use the time-dilation factors of SR. BTW.: From this I conclude...

I think you can't use Galilean (angular) velocity addition for ##\omega_1## an ##\omega_2##.

I misread the OP. As @PeroK says in #2, you have a ##c/2## one-way speed in the A-to-B direction and an ##\infty## speed in the B-to-A...

We might as well assume that ##t[A1] = t[B2] = 0##. When A receives the signal back from B, the clock reads ##t = \frac {2L}{c}##. A...
