ROTFLOL....You don't even understand what length contraction means in SR. In SR the length contraction is not physical. It is an apparent geometric effect. It is the geometric projection of the moving rod onto the observer's frame. From the moving rod point of view the space in the direction of motion is contracted but the physical length of the rod remains the same. BTW your bogus premise of physical rod contraction has the following problem: 1. Two identical rods A and B and B accelerated away and becomes initial again. 2. A sees B is physically contracted during B journey. 3. B turns around and rejoins A. B's physical rod length returns to the same length as A. 4. That means that during the return trip B's physical length is physically expanded. 5. That means that we will have both physical length contraction and expansion. Questions: How is B know when to physically contract and when to physically expand?? Ken Seto |
