TL;DR
This paper analyzes Einstein's demonstration of time dilation, focusing on his resolution of the apparent discrepancy between clock synchronization and Lorentz transformation.
Contribution
It provides a detailed analysis of Einstein's original demonstration, clarifying how he addressed the apparent inconsistency in special relativity.
Findings
Einstein's method effectively reconciles clock synchronization with Lorentz transformation.
The analysis clarifies Einstein's approach to resolving apparent paradoxes in relativity.
The paper enhances understanding of Einstein's original reasoning in special relativity.
Abstract
Einstein's own demonstration of time dilation taken from his book with L. Infeld (1938) is analyzed. His ingenious circumnavigation of an apparent discrepancy between clock synchronisation and Lorentz transformation is discussed.
