On the other hand, the little professor from Trondheim has
demonstrated that he has failed miserably at understand the Lorentz
transform. <shrug>

Good job, paul. You have handed over the material that proves you
have no understanding of what the Lorentz transform is all about.
<shrug>
When B is not accelerating, the Lorentz transform says there is no way
to tell absolutely who is traveling and who is not. Time dilation
should be building up when A observes B as well as when B observes A.
The JAVA applet does not reflect what the Lorentz transform says. You
may want to decrease the acceleration distance to just 1 and increase
acceleration to 2 for a better dramatic effect. <shrug>
paul?s gross blunder: The mutual time dilation is building up when B
is not accelerating. The applet violates the principle of
relativity. <shrug>
Hopefully, paul remains ignorant on this one since else he would
remove the material just like he did with the rest of his blunders.
