Faster than light
Botsareus:
--- Quote ---In the (x,t) frame, the apple is hit after the arrow was shot. In the (x',t') frame, the arrow being hit and the shooting of the arrow occur simultaneously. But in the (x'',t'') frame the apple is hit before arrow is shot!. How can this possibly happen? This contradiction occurs because we allow the arrow to travel along the line connecting A and B which requires the arrow to travel at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

Bs , Even if arrow travels faster then light, The abserver will see apple being hit after he launched the arrow: why? Simple , because light is slower then the arrow it talkes more time for light to travel from the apple to the abserver then for the arrow to the apple.
aye , lets look at another example: wth does instantaneous communication have to do with faster then light travel? And even if there was sutch a thing then distance and speed of objects wont matter.

PY, one gets old and dies because time from his perspective and that of his body is actually going faster, as I understand it.
Botsareus:
But do I have a point here or what? Or is my english so bad no one can read it? I mean who is going to argue with 50 years of physics? right?
MightyPenguin:
Depends how much faster the arrow is going than light, I suppose. And you can only communicate instantaeneously if the carrier medium can move the information from point to point instantaneously; I.e. faster than light.

Lets do a picy:
:shoot: ------------------------------------------------------------------- :help:
light reached here in <-- 20^202 years because its too far <-----------
----------> too fast arrow -----> reached the target in 1/10^10 a milisecond
means the guy had to wait a nice 20^202 years - 1/10^10 milisecond witch still about 20^202 years.
