Voyager 1 Once Again Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments
  • And to calculate the offset needed to get them all synced up involves calculating time dilation, which involves knowing/assuming the speed of light. These synchronizations work just as well if the two way speed of light is different than the one way speed of light.

    To know the speed of light you assume the speed of light is c, but you're trying to calculate c so all those clocks aren't verified synced.

    Just read through the wiki or Harvard's books if you'd like, this is an unsolved "problem" in physics for a reason or do you think no one cares about how fast c is?

  • It is impossible to synchronize the clocks in such a way that you can actually measure the speed of light with it due to time dilation unless you define beforehand how fast the speed of light is to calculate that time dilation.

  • The very accurate clock needed in this case is physically impossible as far as we know, there's no way to measure it as far as our current understanding of physics goes.

    Though if you can figure out a way you should publish a paper about it.

  • And further down:

    Unfortunately, if the one-way speed of light is anisotropic, the correct time dilation factor becomes {isplaystyle {athcal {T}}={rac {1}{amma (1-appa v/c)}}}, with the anisotropy parameter κ between -1 and +1.[17] This introduces a new linear term, {isplaystyle im {eta o 0}{athcal {T}}=1+appa eta +O(eta ^{2})} (here {isplaystyle eta =v/c}), meaning time dilation can no longer be ignored at small velocities, and slow clock-transport will fail to detect this anisotropy. Thus it is equivalent to Einstein synchronization.

  • This is slighlty different though, we only know the two-way speed of light, not the one way speed of light.

    We only know that this trip, to and back, takes x seconds. We cannot prove that the trip to the mirror takes the same length of time as the way back.

    The special theory of relativity for example does not depend on the one way speed of light to be the same as the two way speed of light.

  • Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important
  • There’s a significant detail which is missing from this analysis. The law which puts copyright over privacy is a French law, not an EU law. The EU court found that the French law doesn’t contradict any EU law.

    So the EU court did not determine that copyright is more important than privacy. It determined only that the French parliament is allowed to decide that question for France.

    So while this does set a bad precedence, it is not as bad as the title would like you to believe.

  • iFixit is breaking up with Samsung. ‘Samsung’s approach to repairability does not align with our mission,’ says iFixit’s CEO.
  • IANAL: The short of it is that unless Samsung can prove that it's the software's fault that the malfunction is there, they have to repair it. A blown efuse is just as much proof as the 'warranty broken if removed' stickers, which is none.

    There's lot's of cases online where Samsung/resellers try to stop people but as long as you are persistent and don't just accept them not wanting to fix it they will repair it.

    There's also some cases of going through the small claims court to handle this (which doesn't cost anything if you win) Small claims court

    More about warranty

    Also: This ONLY applies to the normal EU warranty which you always have, any extended warranty does not need to repair your device if you've rooted it.
