<p>I think you are saying something that I have been trying to make
clear to Albrecht which derives from my attempt to move physics
away from the Aristotelian belief that we see reality through the
windows of our senses and employ the Platonic belief that we see
the 'shadows" - in modern therms- we see our interpretation of
the measurement reports from our sensors - in this case our body
built in coordinate frame. I then translate your statements into
more anthropomorphic observer inclusive language using larger font
than your comments, <br>

<p>Grahame,</p>
<p>so as you have explained 'reciprocity' here, it is also my
understanding. <br>
</p>
<p>Sorry, I missed your book. Can you please give me a reference
(if it is in the internet) or the exact title and editor, if it
is only available as a hard copy?</p>
<p>One question in advance: Does the book also cover GRT? And if
this is the case, is it also based on a fixed frame, so that it
assumes something like an ether? <br>

be led to believe from observation that their frame is
static - it's also necessary to show that this moving
observer would perceive the SAME degree of (a) time dilation
and (b) length contraction in the absolutely static frame as
would be seen from that static frame in the observer's frame

'reciprocity'.]</font></div>

<p>Chip,</p>

<p>I also think that it is the easiest and most physical way
to understand relativity in general and dilation in
particular, if one assumes that there is an absolute frame
of rest, and that the motion with respect to this frame
causes (among other phenomena) dilation. But it is a
specific property of relativity that every observer in any
inertial frame can assume that his frame is the frame at
rest. And in his observation the physical world behaves
indeed as if his frame would be the absolute frame at rest.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This sounds like a paradox at the first glance. But with a
proper use of the Lorentz transformation it can be explained
why it is this way. It is a bit of work to make these
calculations, but it is possible and one may say that this
work is a necessity to understand special relativity.</p>
