On the correctness of Relative Time Dilatation in Special Relativity in vacuum: a rebuttal against the claims by Arthur Boltcho in European Journal of Scientific Research ISSN 1450-216X Vol. 44 No. 4 (2010), pp. 610-611

TL;DR

This paper refutes a claimed mathematical disproof of relative time dilation in Special Relativity, clarifying misunderstandings about moments and time intervals to reaffirm the theory's correctness.

Contribution

It provides a detailed rebuttal demonstrating that the previous disproof was based on fundamental misunderstandings of key concepts in Special Relativity.

Findings

The alleged disproof is mathematically incorrect.

Misunderstandings about moments and time intervals led to the false claim.

The core principles of relative time dilation remain valid.

Abstract

In his recent paper published in the European Journal of Scientific Research 44, 4, 610-611 (2010), the author, Arthur Boltcho, claims to have found a mathematical disproof of relative time dilatation of Special Relativity Theory (SRT). In this letter we show that the supposed mathematical disproof of relative time dilatation of SRT is totally wrong and that Arthur Boltcho demonstrated nothing. The errors by Boltcho arise from a strong misunderstanding and confusing the concept of "moments" and time intervals in the framework of SRT.
