#616449 — There is no material length contraction

SubjectThere is no material length contraction
Message-ID<44903087-193c-4446-90c3-f7a5acecf264n@googlegroups.com>
Einstein invented length contraction to make his Postulate P2 constant light speed in all frames viable.
Here's how:
1. The material length of a meter stick  remain constant in all frames.
2. Einstein invented length contraction without specifyin what is 
     contracting.
   This allowed him to claim that Length contraction along with time dilation
     to give him constant light speed in all frames.
The real reason why the speed of light is not constant in all frames is as follows:
1. The material length of a meter stick remains constant in all frames.
2. The light-path-length (LPL)...the length that light must travel to cover the material length of a meter stick .... 
3. The LPL of the observer's meter stick is 1meter ...the same as its material
     length..
4. The LPL of a meter moving wrt the observer is predicted to be 1/gamma or gamma.
5. Einstein assumed that the LPL of the moving meter stick only 1/gamma. and thus all meter stick moving wrt the observer will have LPL  1/gamma. This is wrong. The LPL of a moving meter can be gamma. This means that SR is only  half of the story.

Indeed, there is no material length contraction. Einstein never said 
there was.

Sylvia, if an observer starts accelerating at a constant 1g from one end of a rod whose proper length is one light year, will that observer claim that the rod appears to be shrinking in length during the acceleration?  I don't know.  Just asking.

So what did Einstein said what is contracting? The LPL as I said above?

Relativity is a theoretical model. It tells you what to expect if you do 
measurements. That's it. If you want to interpret the result of certain 
measurements as meaning that a length has contracted, that's up to you, 
but it goes beyond the theory, and your interpretation has no observable 
consequences.

Wrong, Mutton Chops.  Observer A approaches Observer B at a velocity that Observer A calculates to be the proper relative velocity v.  But if Observer A then tries to calculate the coordinate relative velocity that Observer B should calculate, it turns out to be v*gamma^2.   So there are very observable consequences.  Inconsistent and contradictory consequences.

If observer A measures observer B's velocity relative to A to have 
magnitude |v|, then observer B measures observer A's velocity relative 
to B also to have magnitude |v|.

The concept of "coordinate relative velocity" is something you, or some 
other crank, invented, and has no physical significance.

"There is never a privileged reference frame. The effects of relativistic 
physics remain symmetrical and reciprocal by permutation of reference 
frame". Dr Richard Hatchel. Pasadena Conference June 2023

If an object approaches me at 0.8c, this object considers that I approach 
it at v=0.8c.

It's reciprocal.

But this discovers an absolutely astonishing property well described by 
Doctor Hachel (him again).

The apparent velocities must remain reciprocal.

Vapp=Vo/(1+cosµ.Vo/c)

Vapp=0.8/(1+(-1)(0.8)=4c

I see this object approaching with an apparent speed of 4c.

But HIM ALSO, he sees me approaching him at Vapp=4c.

It's elementary and yet so counter-intuitive that even the pundits of 
relativity find it hard to accept the obvious.

Worse still: if we tell them that the rocket will be three times longer, 
they will feel enormous pain in accepting that, for the rocket, it is my 
telescope which will seem three times longer.

In short, space itself is a much more elastic reference mollusc than they 
imagine.

Then joins the intellectual problem a huge human problem
of jealousy: "We don't want this man to reign over us".

The Jewish high priests said exactly the same thing two thousand years 
ago.

You don't change people.

ECi GPS keep measuring t'=t, just like all serious clocks

And I will again. The reality is not going to

No,  That's a wrong assumption. A and B each measures a different [V[ cbecause their clock seconds have  a different TIME content.
You assumed wrongly that a clock second is an absolute unit of time......it is not.
A clock second on the A clock /= a clock second on the B clock.

It is not an assumption, Stupid Ken. It is what SR derives from its two 
postulates.

A and B measure the same v but in opposite directions. They have the 
same magnitude |v|.

No, Stupid Ken, time is measured in seconds which is defined as the time 
of 9192631770 Cs transition cycles.

Stupid Mike, it is a wrong assumption because the SR postulate (P2) is wrong.

No they don't  get the same result because three clock seconds have different value of time.

 You assumed wrongly that a clock second is an absolute unit of time......it is not.

No stupid Mike, you assumed wrongly that each cycle of Cs have the same interval of TIME.....they do not
Each cycle depend on the arrival of specific amount of energy and the arrival of this energy
is dependent on the absolute motion of A and B. Since A and B are in different states of
absolute motion, each cycle will take a different interval of time (absolute time) to arrive and thus a different amount of time (absolute time) to complete a cycle of Cs.

you cannot detect motion inside 𝗮𝗻_𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 closed 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹_𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲,
fucking stupid. Motion is irrelevant for the beings inside that
𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹_𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲. You are so cheap.

I did not say I can detect absolute motion. I merely describe, according to my model, w,ha,t causes
time dilation.

A postulate cannot be wrong. A postulate is a postulate.

They have the same value of time because the second has an exact 
definition, Stupid Ken. In addition to symmetry arguments for the 
velocity having the same magnitude.

Stupid Ken, your assertions are not valid arguments. The second is 
DEFINED as that many Cs transition cycles. A definition cannot be wrong.

Your assertions are not valid arguments.

There is no such thing as absolute motion in any science model. All 
motion is relative.

> Since A and B are in different states of
> absolute motion,

No such thing as absolute motion in any model of science. Therefore this 
clause is meaningless nonsense.

> each cycle will take a different interval of time (absolute time)

Because the first part of the conditional clause is false, this blather 
can be ignored.

> to arrive and thus a different amount of time (absolute time) to complete a cycle of Cs.

More blithering word salad.

Since your Muddle Mechanics is dependent on something that doesn't even 
exist, it has no value whatsoever, so it is ignored.

And do you still believe that  9 192 631 770  ISO idiocy
is some "Newton mode"? You're such an amazing idiot, 
stupid Mike, even considering the standards of your
moronic religion.

Stop lying, stupid Mike, the definition of second is varying.

Of course it can, stupid Mike. Your assertions are not valid arguments.
