There's a bit of an inaccuracy... the clocks still read simultaneous times after the transformation! Neurofuzzy1 (talk) 10:45, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, the times are different before and after, are you illusioned by the contraction effect which makes the clocks look squashed with the same time intervals? M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 23:15, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I redrew the diagram to make more obvious the difference in time intervals... better? M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 23:39, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I mean that the times on the single "after" diagram shouldn't all read the same time, since the time term in the lorentz transformation has a term proportional to x-position, and one of the clocks is offset from the other three in the x direction. So, in the first diagram, the clock furthest on the x-axis should have a minutehand further counterclockwise. (-vγx/c). Also, I just read, "this page is not for: Requesting corrections to the image".

My eyes!

The colors on this are insane! Tone it down a bit. asmeurer (talk | contribs) 00:53, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
