    How does a qubit represent the number two in quantum computing?

    Qubit can be ZERO and ONE at the same time. Right? 1 and 0 can represent TWO (10) in a binary system. Right? Therefore one qubit can represent number 2. Right? My question. When this qubit is used to give a result of a calculation (is measured/evaluated somehow at the end of a calculation) it...

    Do Moving Objects Return to Original Length After Stopping?

    Your explanation is from the station observer and the station clock point of view (Reference Frame). But please expand your explanation (in a scenario without acceleration/deceleration) and compare the space time "distance" for the station clock and the train clock from the train clock point of...

    Do Moving Objects Return to Original Length After Stopping?

    Do I understand correctly that the cause and the only cause of the train clocks to be behind the observer's one after the train stopped is their acceleration and deceleration while the train started moving and stopped later?

    Do Moving Objects Return to Original Length After Stopping?

    Many thanks again. Do I understand your explanation correctly that the cause and the only cause of the train clocks to be behind the observer's one after the train stopped is their acceleration and deceleration while the train started moving and stopped later?

    Do Moving Objects Return to Original Length After Stopping?

    Thanks for attention, but it is NOT what I did ask. The innumerous synchronized clocks were spread along an immensely long train before it moved. When the train stopped there happened to be right near the observer, that stood on the station while the train moved, one clock out of these...

    Do Moving Objects Return to Original Length After Stopping?

    With respect and deference – Could someone answer my second question (repeated from above)? Together with the bars there were loaded on the train, and given to the observer on the station, innumerous clocks that were precisely synchronized before the train started moving. The train moved, the...

    Do Moving Objects Return to Original Length After Stopping?

    My best apologies for asking stupid questions and thanks for clearly explaining them nevertheless. May I ask one more of this kind? Together with the bars there were loaded on the train, and given to the observer on the station, innumerous clocks that were precisely synchronized before the...

    Do Moving Objects Return to Original Length After Stopping?

    Not long ago a very thoughtful thread cleared my mind on the Relativity of Simultaneity. I am very thankful and hope to get here help also on a question related to the RELATIVITY OF MEASUREMENTS in the moving reference frames. Suppose that innumerous bars (or rods) are loaded on a very long...

    I Struggling with the Special Relativity and simultaneity

    Once again MANY THANKS to ALL posters for the very informative, thoughtful and helpful discussion.A train was moving with a constant speed along the very straight tracks when two lightnings perforated it vertically in two different places, leaving unmistakable holes under the train in the ground...

    I Struggling with the Special Relativity and simultaneity

    I see the change in your opinion, so please clarify WHICH observer WILL get my drink, and WHICH WILL NOT.

    I Struggling with the Special Relativity and simultaneity

    And you (on the cruise ship) will see TWO tweets. A tweet is a notice that the experimental method, suggested by Einstein, proved the simultaneity of the light strikes for the observer that had sent his tweet. Please tell, what will YOU (on the ship) conclude - DID or NOT the strikes take place...

    I Struggling with the Special Relativity and simultaneity

    WHICH observer will be lucky to get my beer (if the events are simultaneous in the respective rest frames, and only one bottle will be dispensed, as you state)? As I understand, Einstein said (see the quotation from his book above) that simultaneity is an experimental fact and NOTHING else. He...

    I Struggling with the Special Relativity and simultaneity

    Here is the Einstein's thought experiment in his own words from his book cited above. In my version I ONLY have replaced mirrors with beer dispensers and made the results more obvious by sending tweets. "Lightning has struck the rails on our railway embankment at two places A and B far distant...

    I Struggling with the Special Relativity and simultaneity

    Many THANKS for all your very informative and very helpful posts! If you don't mind please consider my version of this famous thought experiment. Near each of the observers there is a beer bottle dispenser activated only if two lights strike it at the same, most exactly, time. You are on a...
