words only definitions & notes
  1. consideration
    the process of giving careful thought to something
    UP to now our considerations have been referred to a particular body of reference, which we have styled a “railway embankment.”
    ADD NOTE HERE.
  2. refer
    make a remark that calls attention to
    UP to now our considerations have been referred to a particular body of reference, which we have styled a “railway embankment.”
  3. particular
    unique or specific to a person or thing or category
    UP to now our considerations have been referred to a particular body of reference, which we have styled a “railway embankment.”
  4. style
    how something is done or how it happens
    UP to now our considerations have been referred to a particular body of reference, which we have styled a “railway embankment.”
  5. constant
    uninterrupted in time and indefinitely long continuing
    We suppose a very long train travelling along the rails with the constant velocity v and in the direction indicated in Fig.
  6. velocity
    distance traveled per unit time in one direction
    We suppose a very long train travelling along the rails with the constant velocity v and in the direction indicated in Fig.
  7. direction
    a line leading to a place or point
    We suppose a very long train travelling along the rails with the constant velocity v and in the direction indicated in Fig.
  8. indicate
    designate a place, direction, person, or thing
    We suppose a very long train travelling along the rails with the constant velocity v and in the direction indicated in Fig.
  9. advantage
    the quality of having a superior or more favorable position
    People travelling in this train will with advantage use the train as a rigid reference-body (co-ordinate system); they regard all events in reference to the train.
  10. rigid
    incapable of or resistant to bending
    People travelling in this train will with advantage use the train as a rigid reference-body (co-ordinate system); they regard all events in reference to the train.
  11. event
    something that happens at a given place and time
    People travelling in this train will with advantage use the train as a rigid reference-body (co-ordinate system); they regard all events in reference to the train.
  12. definition
    a brief explanation of the meaning of a word or phrase
    Also the definition of simultaneity can be given relative to the train in exactly the same way as with respect to the embankment.
  13. relative
    not absolute or complete
    Also the definition of simultaneity can be given relative to the train in exactly the same way as with respect to the embankment.
  14. respect
    regard highly; think much of
    Also the definition of simultaneity can be given relative to the train in exactly the same way as with respect to the embankment.
  15. consequence
    a phenomenon that is caused by some previous phenomenon
    As a natural consequence, however, the following question arises: 1
    Are two events (e.g. the two strokes of lightning A and B) which are simultaneous with reference to the railway embankment also simultaneous relatively to the train?
  16. arise
    move upward
    As a natural consequence, however, the following question arises: 1
    Are two events (e.g. the two strokes of lightning A and B) which are simultaneous with reference to the railway embankment also simultaneous relatively to the train?
  17. stroke
    a single complete movement
    As a natural consequence, however, the following question arises: 1
    Are two events (e.g. the two strokes of lightning A and B) which are simultaneous with reference to the railway embankment also simultaneous relatively to the train?
  18. lightning
    flash of light from an electric discharge in the atmosphere
    2
    When we say that the lightning strokes A and B are simultaneous with respect to the embankment, we mean: the rays of light emitted at the places A and B, where the lightning occurs, meet each other at the mid-point M of the length A —> B of the embankment.
