Episode 20 AAAS Conference Presentation Averages, Rates, and Functions
b'\\u201cI live 20 miles per hour from the University.\\u201d Is that statement confusing? \\xa0It should be.\\xa0 In Episode 20, we take a look at Rates and Functions, and discuss how they have been mistreated for the past century.\\xa0 More importantly, we\\u2019ll take a look at how key concepts and mathematics can get confused if we don\\u2019t say the right thing.\\xa0 For example, would you feel confused if I had began with \\u201cI live 20 miles from the University.\\u201d?\\xa0 This Episode is a replay of a presentation that I delivered the Pacific Region AAAS conference at San Francisco State University in August 2009.\\nThis Episode summarizes and\\xa0synthesizes\\xa0a lot of the material we\\u2019ve looked at over the past 9 videos. \\xa0New visitors will find that it serves as a good introduction to the material on the site.\\nThe following specific points are covered in this video:\\n\\nA brief history of moving systems equations and SRT\\nA look at the mathematical and conceptual mistakes we\\u2019re still making today\\nRevisiting the improved results to the Michelson-Morley and Ives-Stillwell equations\\nImplications on position-based navigation systems\\n\\nIn addition to the video, a PDF version of the presentation is available for download.\\n Corrections:\\n\\nAt 15:10 \\u2013 the arguments to the Tau function invocation in the Key Findings callout should be \\xa0(x\\u2019,0,0,x\\u2019/(c-v)). \\xa0This is corrected in the PDF.\\nAt 16:20 \\u2013 the callout should say \\u201c\\u2026Average of the Approaching and Receding Doppler shifts\\u201d\\nAt 16:55 \\u2013 I should have said \\u201crevising Michelson-Morley\\u201d instead of saying \\u201crevising Ives-Stillwell\\u201d\\n\\nUpdate: I\\u2019ve added the following two links from the NPA Video Conference I delivered in October 2009. One link is for the video and the other is for the slides. I think this video is essentially the \\u201cDirector\\u2019s cut\\u201d of the presentation.\\nBonus: Download NPA Conference Video in Windows Media Format\\nBonus: Download NPA Conference Video in PDF Format\\nhttp://www.relativitychallenge.com/media/RelativityChallenge.com-Episode20_iPod.m4vDownload Podcast | Open Player in New Window\\nDownload in Windows Media Format\\n Download in PDF Format'
