Summary
Special relativists claim that the length of an object and the distance in its direction of travel shorten if it moves close to the
speed of light. In order to understand what the mathematicians are talking about we must absolutely come to terms with the
words length and distance.
It turns out that the idiots of Mathematics are talking neither about length nor distance, but about distance-traveled. The
infamous 'distance' of Mathematics is a dynamic concept involving ONE object and measured with clocks. The distance
of Physics is between TWO objects, and it makes no sense at all to attempt to measure it. In Science, it is impossible to
measure distance. The differences go on and on.
Of course, if the mathematicians insinuate that they are referring to an empty gap between two objects, call it a 'length',
and explain their contraction theory in terms of displacement, it is not surprising that they arrive at the ridiculous
conclusions we find in Special Relativity. The mathematicians are not saying that the length or the distance in the
photograph is now shorter. The stupid idiots are saying that someone erased a few of the frames of their film.
