David,
Using the transformation (from your post):
x' = x
y' = y
z' = (z + (c^2)/g)*cosh(g*t/c) - (c^2)/g
t' = (z/c + c/g)*sinh(g*t/c) ==>
The third equation says that an event at z = -(c^2)/g has the
primed coordinate z' = -(c^2)/g, a constant in time.
This seems to contradict the second statement of :
"Note (from the equation for t') a clock at rest w.r.t. the
spaceship at z = -(c^2)/g is infinitely dilated and stopped
relative to frame K'.
Such a clock is moving at speed c in the K' frame."
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Bob Sciamanda
