Both points are compatible within the framework of relativity if you understand the basic principles. 1. Brent’s point: Fitting and not fitting occur at the same time in their respective frames. This is true because each frame applies its own simultaneity to determine when the events align. The disagreement arises precisely because of the relativity of simultaneity. 2. Clark’s point: The car fits in one frame and not in the other because simultaneity shifts the alignment of events between frames. This is the resolution of the paradox: the frames disagree because their definitions of "simultaneous" differ. These are two sides of the same coin. Brent describes the observation within each frame, while Clark explains why the disagreement exists. If you think they contradict each other, that’s on you for misunderstanding how simultaneity works—not on them. Instead of continuing to nitpick and troll, maybe focus on understanding relativity for what it is. The paradox has been resolved repeatedly—you’re the only one still confused. Your pathology surfaces again. I'm not nitpicking. I understand Clarks pov but not Brent's. They do seem to contradict each other. AG Concerning your interpretation of Brent's pov, if simultaneity applies in both frames, then in each frame there should be a disagreement about fitting, not an agreement about fitting and hence a paradox.

Whether I graduated from college or not doesn’t change the reality: you don’t understand the very concepts you’re arguing about and have spent this entire discussion dodging explanations and projecting your insecurities onto others. If you genuinely believe Brent, Clark, and I disagree, it’s only because you lack the comprehension to follow the arguments. The cause of the so-called paradox and its resolution have been clearly explained multiple times. You’ve chosen to ignore or twist those explanations to fit your narrative, which is classic trolling behavior. If this is truly your "last time," then good riddance. But let’s not pretend your parting shot is anything other than another empty attempt to deflect from your own inability to engage in good faith. Reading plain English is easy; Brent now says fitting and not fitting occur at the same time, whereas Clark says they don't and that's the resolution of the paradox by applying disagreement about simultaneity. Which expert do you agree with?

Let’s get a few things straight. First, changing your mind isn’t the issue—it’s your constant refusal to acknowledge explanations, your endless insults, and your bad faith throughout the discussion. You didn’t just change your mind; you repeatedly dismissed valid points, only to later parrot them back as if they were your own revelations. Second, accusing others of mental illness while lacing every response with personal attacks isn’t just hypocritical—it’s pathetic. You’ve spent more time throwing tantrums and dodging accountability than actually discussing the topic. If you can’t handle criticism, that’s on you, not anyone else. Third, waving your "achievements" around—imaginary or not—while insulting others’ supposed lack of them is irrelevant and desperate. Arguments stand or fall on their own merit, and yours have consistently fallen apart under scrutiny. Finally, calling others "pricks" or "assholes" doesn’t make you look strong or justified; it just highlights your inability to engage in a mature, constructive manner. If you truly believe in the importance of professional and intellectual respect, maybe try demonstrating some for once. Until then, your behavior speaks for itself. *I'll say it again, for the last time; you're hopelessly deluded. About those arguments about simultaneity; you, Brent and Clark seem to disagree about the cause of the paradox and its resolution. Any professional achievements? Did you graduate from college?

If those degrees are real, they clearly didn’t include lessons on humility, logic, or how to engage in productive discussion. Your backpedaling on simultaneity yet again shows you’re either incapable of following the reasoning or deliberately stirring the pot. The car fitting in one frame and not in another isn’t "troublesome" or "odd"—it’s a direct and perfectly explained consequence of the relativity of simultaneity. If you still find it confusing, the problem isn’t with relativity; it’s with your refusal to listen. Stop using your imaginary academic credentials as a shield for bad arguments. Degrees don’t mean anything if you keep proving you didn’t learn the basics. Focus on understanding instead of trolling—it might save what little credibility you have left. *Did you notice? Now Brent and Clark (and YOU!) apparently disagree on what simultaneity establishes. BTW, usually someone mentally ill, like you, can't do any deep self diagnosis and doesn't realize how iil they are. Example; your use of "backpedaling" is a symptom of paranoia. I just changed my mind at some point in the discussion. That was it. Nothing more. I doubt you will able to see this simple fact. And it is simple and true. it was your paranoia and abuse that produced the type of behavior on my part that you complain about. I might have been mistaken on the issue discussed, though now the experts seem to disagree, but I am not a fool and I don't suffer fools like you lightly. It really takes a lot of abuse from someone, for me to call that someone a prick/asshole, but you deserve it. BTW2, do you have any professional achievements, any? Mine aren't imaginary. And nowhere did I use them to support any arguments I make, good or bad ones.

While it's true that the car can't fit and not fit simultaneously, it's still troublesome that it can fit and not fit at different times. I believe Clark thinks this is an "odd situation". It certainly is and demands more thought. AG * Le mar. 14 janv. 2025, 22:34, Alan Grayson <[email protected]> a écrit : If you really were conscious, you'd realize how stupid is your post.
