ABC der Relativitätstheorie, Frankfurt, 1989 II 38 Time/Concurrence/Relativity Theory/Russell: concurrence only has a meaning with respect to an observer. - Each clock measures its own time correctly. - The own time does not provide a measure of bodies moving relative to it. - From the perspective of accelerated electrons their own mass remains equal. - For them, the observer becomes thicker or thinner. - Russell: We must look at the distances between events, not between bodies. >Relativity theory, >Observation. II 55 Concurrence/Russell: comes into play in relation with congruence. >Simultaneity. II 55f Time/Place/Relativity Theory/Russell: There is no same time for different observers. - That is why we always need to provide the time and place for an event. - Event instead of body: is an observed body. II 65 Time/Time Dilatation/Relativity Theory/Special Relativity Theory/Russell: events towards which the traveler is moving seem to him like things of the past. - The events lying behind him seem to be in the future. - For the observer standing on the railway line they seem to be in the present. II 105 Power/Relativity Theory/Russell: is no longer a fundamental concept of dynamics - more like "sunrise". The same force applied to a heavy body does not cause as much acceleration as a lighter one. >Meaning change, >Theory change, >Absoluteness. II 121 "During"/Relativity Theory/Physics/Logical Form/Russell: multiplication with time. - ((s) Division: E.g. speed: would not be referred to as "during" - In contrast, "during": E.g. Maintained speed times a time - result: distance traveled -> acceleration. sec2: here multiplication comes in again. - the fact that a particle follows a geodesic is then the "principle of least effect". >Principles/Feynman.}, note = { Russell I B.
