Why did you use so many words to say that you agree: "The proton can only have one speed in the lab frame." You are right of course, because: It is _one_ proton going once around the circuit. The speed of that _one_ proton in the lab frame is obviously v = dx/dt = L/T = 0.999999991·c. Nothing else! That the clock on the _one_ proton measures the proper time τ = T/γ = 12.0727 ns doesn't change the fact that the speed of the _one_ proton in the lab frame is v = L/T = 0.999999991·c. But it means that the speed of the lab in the proton frame is: v = dx'/dτ = (L/γ)/τ = L/T = 0.999999991·c. >> >> Only an ignoramus like you will fail to understand that if >> the speed of the proton in the lab frame is 0.999999991·c, >> then the speed of the lab in the proton frame is 0.999999991·c. > > C'est ce que je dis. No, that's not what you are saying. You are saying: "Thus, for the proton, the distance AB (in the laboratory reference frame) was crossed 7460 times faster." And since I now know that you agree that the proton can't have but one speed in the laboratory frame, I have to interpret your statement a bit differently: Since you say "for the proton" you must mean "in the proton frame", and in this frame the proton doesn't move, so it must be the distance AB which has crossed the proton at the speed 7460·c. So you are saying: "The speed of the proton in the lab frame is 0.999999991·c, but the speed of the lab in the proton frame is 7460·c. -- Paul https://paulba.no/
