Bob and 2 students of his drift by Dave at velocity vH in the x-direction. He then synchronizes all the clocks in his reference frame, using the perfect Einstein Convention. Bob has a flashlight. Dave is some distance away from Bob, observing. Consider two students, with t-shirts reading l and -l, along the x-axis of Bob, one in front, and one behind Bob. When Bob fires his light flash, which student receives the light flash first, as observed by Dave?...

Prof. X has two brilliant students Y and Z in his class. He introduces the concept of vector spaces, bases and dimension in his 5th session. As an exercise, he gives a vector space V of dimension n and asks Y and Z to find a basis. Y produces a set S with n elements. But Z being lazy, takes the set S, removes a vector and adds a new vector to it creating a new set T. Prof. X...
