They are the same station.OK, let's go through this, again. Stations are extended objects that can be given spacetime coordinates over a range. The coordinates given to two stations will be different when using the same coordinate system. Unless you can offer some quite interesting claim about how exotic metaphysics has gotten on JFK Airtrain, we're talking about two different stations. They are so close together that the costs involved in transporting people the additional time and distance beyond Lefferts Blvd to Howard Beach are insignificant. 'Insignificant' is a normative concept. The time and distance you speak of is visible to the naked eye as something not infinitesimal. And if, as you say, the time and distance were in fact insignificant , then why did the PA build this second station? Your argument is question-begging. |
