There is no time dilation or physical length contraction.

From: kenseto on 12 Nov 2009 10:36 There is no time dilation. 1. Clocks in different frames runs at different rates. 2. A clock second does not represent the same duration (absolute time content) in different frames. In other words a clock second is not a universal interval of time in different frames. There is no physical length contraction. 1. The physical length of a meter stick remains that same in all frames. 2. The observer assumes that the light path length of his meter stick is the physical length of his meter stick and then he uses this assumption and the SR equations to predict the light path length of a moving meter stick is contractioned by a factor of 1/gamma. IRT is a new theory of relativity. It includes the above concept for time and length. A description of IRT is available in the following link: http://www.modelmechanics.org/2008irt.dtg.pdf Ken Seto

And you confuse "universal" with "absolute". > > There is no physical length contraction. > 1. The physical length of a meter stick remains that same in all > frames.

Nowhere is there *measurement* in this statement. Length contraction is (indirectly) *measured*. > > IRT is a new theory of relativity. It includes the above concept for > time and length.

But energy doesn't contract. There are no flatened forms. MItch Raemsch |
