That’s _proper_ length.

The Lorentz factor (gamma) is obviously not a speed.  Speed has the 
dimension [length]∕[time], therefore a corresponding unit, e.g. m∕s.

The Lorentz factor has dimension 1, and obviously not a unit.

Homework assignment:

  (1) Calculate the relative speed for gamma = 2.

  (2) Bonus points if you can explain either why or why not a regular
      train can move at that relative speed.

No, it occurs if M is at A *at the same time* as N is at B.

What do you think, and why?
