What do relativists
mean by
length contraction?

1.0 The claim

pecial Relativity (SR) holds that a body contracts if it travels almost at the speed of light (near-c):

Length contraction, according to the special theory of relativity... is the

physical

phenomenon of a decrease in length detected by an observer in

objects that

travel

at any

non-zero velocity relative to that observer."

[

]

This phenomenon is so magical that i

f the object

happens to

travel exactly at the speed of light,

predicts that

will

disappears altogether:

" An observer at rest viewing an object travelling at the speed of light would

observe

the

length of the object in the direction of motion as zero."

[

]

For unknown reasons, relativists have no trouble believing that an object contracts to almost zero,

but

they cannot accept

that the object disappears altogether. Therefore, the council of elders has

decided

that no object can travel

exactly

at the

speed of light or greater.

[

As always, the idiots of Mathematics

refuse to accept the constraints imposed on

their personal religions by equations and continue believing

that indeed you can

probably travel faster than light

[

Just don't ask them how. Continue dreaming

about trekking to the stars and to the past That's what 'science' is all about to them!

]

ccording to the religion of relativity, speed also affects the distance the object travels:

Not only does the box contract, but the distance the photon travels also

becomes

shorter."

[

]

To summarize, Special Relativity says that if an object travels at near-c, its length as well as its distance

contract! We will

discover that Einstein's idiots say that the distance the muon has

yet to travel

is the

one that relativity claims suffers a

contraction.

2.0

The p

roof

he mathematicians claim to have verified length and distance contraction by observing the

behavior of

a magical particle

known as the muon:

“ Question: Is there any practical proof of time dilation on atomic particles?

Answer: Yes there is…In nature, subatomic muons are created by cosmic

ray

interaction with the upper atmosphere. At rest, muons disintegrate in

about 2 x 10-6

seconds and should not have time to reach the Earth’s

surface given there speed

and travel distance. Because they move at

close to the speed of light, however, time

dilation extends their life span

as seen from Earth so they can be observed at the

surface before they

disintegrate.”

[

]

According to the religion of Quantum Mechanics, the lifetime of this heavy subatomic particle (200

times

more massive than

an electron) is of just over 2 microseconds. This is not enough time for

the muon to

make it from the upper atmosphere,

where it starts its brief life as pion debris, to the

planet’s surface,

where it rains like pigeon poop on the heads of relativists

(

Fig.

)

This is not a visual effect for the muon. If the distance traveled by the

muon

is not

physically shorter, the muon simply does not remain in

existence long

enough to

make the

trip, even at speeds greater than .9c.

To the muon, length

contraction is

clearly not merely a

visual effect, as the

muon is not "seeing"

anything. The distance

to be traveled by the

muon

from the upper atmosphere

to sea level is physically

shorter than the same

distance

measured by a slower

moving particle."

[

]

Muons decay into an electron and a neutrino in about 2 £ 10¡6 seconds. This

suggests

mystery:

how can a particle that is produced 20 kilometers about

the earth possibly

reach

the

ground

if it decays in 2 microseconds? Even if

the

particle were moving at

nearly the

speed of light,

it could only move about

600

meters before decaying... from

the muon's

perspective..., the

muon is at

rest,

and the earth's atmosphere is rushing

past it at 99:99%

of the

speed of

light.

This means that the atmosphere is length

contracted by a factor of

1/γ = 1/71.

From

the

muon's perspective, the atmosphere is

so thin that it can

easily reach

the

ground.

[

]

You heard it right. The

idiots of M

athematics are saying that the atmosphere contracts because a muon

traveling fast!

Thank God that I don't

live near any fast moving muons! I hate to be

deprived of

air.

In conclusion

, the mathematicians

believe

that the muon’s unwarranted longevity is proof that

Special

and claims are correct. Objects do indeed contract

Fig. 1 Long lived the muon!

QM has ‘proven’ that a particle
known as the muon has a lifetime
of 2.2 μs. This is not enough time
to cover its trajectory from cradle to
grave. Relativists explain this
paradox as ‘distance’ contraction.
From the speeding muon’s
perspective, the distance in its
direction of travel decreased.
Another way they state it is that the
medium through which they travel
(in this case the atmosphere)
contracts. Think of the Pacific
Ocean. Relativists say that If one
fish could swim at near-c, the entire
Pacific would shrink to nothing!
China would be part of the U.S.
Australia would bump against
Chile and Peru. The mathemati-
cians claim that these results are
consistent with Special Relativity's

Honestly, Al! I was
bringing you the
gold. But the Ghost
brought me here at
the speed of light
and the coins
shrank to zip!

You got you're story
wrong, Bill! Relativity
holds that nothing
can travel at the
speed of light!

I warned you about
using the malleable
theory of relativity as
an excuse to get out
of this one, Bill!

Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction equation. When you question their logic they tell you to kill
your ignorance by studying Math. If this fails to convince you, perhaps you should listen to
the testimonials of Nobel and Templeton Prize winners. You have no way of convincing these
bastards that the intuition and common sense of every person on the planet, including every
mathematician, demonstrates that something is wrong with their logic. A mathematician will
continue to believe and attempt to convince you that his parachute will open according to his
calculations even when you show him that he strapped on your empty backpack by mistake.
A relativist is an autistic idiot by nature and not because he became one in college.
