  2. Relativity of simultaneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity

    If one reference frame assigns precisely the same time to two events that are at different points in space, a reference frame that is moving relative to the first will generally assign different times to the two events (the only exception being when motion is exactly perpendicular to the line connecting the locations of both events).

  3. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation explains why two working clocks will report different times after different accelerations. For example, time goes slower at the ISS, lagging approximately 0.01 seconds for every 12 Earth months passed. For GPS satellites to work, they must adjust for similar bending of spacetime to coordinate properly with systems on Earth. [2 ...

  4. TCP window scale option - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_window_scale_option

    TCP window scale option is needed for efficient transfer of data when the bandwidth-delay product (BDP) is greater than 64 KB [1].For instance, if a T1 transmission line of 1.5 Mbit/s was used over a satellite link with a 513 millisecond round-trip time (RTT), the bandwidth-delay product is ,, =, bits or about 96,187 bytes.

  5. One-way speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

    The "one-way" speed of light, from a source to a detector, cannot be measured independently of a convention as to how to synchronize the clocks at the source and the detector. What can however be experimentally measured is the round-trip speed (or "two-way" speed of light) from the source to a mirror (or other method of reflection) and back ...

  6. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    This is a different voyage than the one shown above, as both schemes take the same assumed total point-of-view time: T=12 (stay-at-home), resp τ=12 (ship), so the results of the calculated other-one's times must be different: τ=9.33 (ship), resp T=17.3 (stay at home). In the standard proper time formula

  8. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    As can be seen from Fig 6-2 of a Minkowski diagram in a non-inertial reference frame, the object once dropped, gains speed, reaches a maximum, and then sees its speed decrease and asymptotically cancel on the horizon where its proper time freezes at . The velocity is measured by an observer at rest in the accelerated rocket.

  9. Kaiser window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_window

    Fourier transforms of two Kaiser windows. where: I 0 is the zeroth-order modified Bessel function of the first kind, L is the window duration, and; α is a non-negative real number that determines the shape of the window. In the frequency domain, it determines the trade-off between main-lobe width and side lobe level, which is a central ...
