My main purpose with posting this is that I cannot find any reference for such a theory. (not even a wack-job one)
[Moderator note: remainder of post deleted, personal theory.]
Is this because of length contraction? What if its propulsion was mounted to the top of the elevator's frame and "dragged" the rest of the rigid elevator behind? Would that still be true? And what if infinite propulsion systems where mounted to the elevator's frame at every point ensuring that...
I am new to relativity, so bare with me. I do not want to argue against it; however, one must admit it is a rather awesomely unwieldy theory. In my self education on the subject, I am bothered by the Equivalence Principle, mainly this:
An elevator accelerating through space is no different from...
